Just Transitions Advancing Environmental and Social Justice Éloi Laurent, Sciences Po and Ponts Paris Tech, France and Stanford University, US ‘Éloi Laurent invites us to boldly imagine the institutions necessary for a resilient, just, democratic, sustainable, and achievable social-ecological state. Just Transitions integrates real existing practices collected from around the globe with political, economic, and philosophical underpinnings from key 20th and 21st century thinkers to project a nascent, realistic and hopeful vision of social-ecological prevention and protection. The book is wonderful and I recommend it in the strongest terms.’ – Michael Ash, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA Dec 2024 c 128 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 1840 7 c £70.00 / c $99.00 eBook • Elgaronline OPEN ACCESS From Uncertainty to Policy: A Guide to Migration Scenarios Edited by Jakub Bijak, University of Southampton, UK ‘Migration is not easy to predict but this excellent book covers all the issues that researchers and practitioners need to know to do the difficult job.

What is less well understood however is how and why has their influence grown so rapidly, and with what consequences. The essays in this important and timely book interrogate these questions in ways that are empirically grounded and analytically astute. They also examine how the various knowledge brokers, both traditional and emerging, collaborate and compete, and how their emergence has created a complicated and highly contested space of knowledge production in education, giving rise a range of important issues that policy makers and researchers can ill afford to overlook.’ – Fazal Rizvi, The University of Melbourne, Australia and The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, US Dec 2024 c 192 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 2641 9 c £90.00 / c $125.00 eBook • Elgaronline Children’s Rights in Professional Practices with Children and Youth Tara M.
