Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Written by a global collective of scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds, including health studies, psychology and economics as well as social policy and gerontology, this timely Research Agenda highlights the challenges and opportunities of rising longevity and population ageing for social policy providing clear directions for future research. Divided into five comprehensive parts, this Research Agenda examines research priorities from policy perspectives, the role of social policy research in relation to intergovernmental organisations, and the framework for future-oriented social policies on ageing provided by a life-course approach. It demonstrates that social policy experts must evaluate interests and expectations both qualitatively and quantitatively, and asserts that future research on social policy and ageing will be inspired by a broad range of stakeholders, including non-governmental interest organisations and state actors. A Research Agenda for Ageing and Social Policy will be enlightening for students and researchers focusing on social policy, ageing, development, health policy and inequality. It will also be a fascinating read for practitioners seeking a wider understanding of social policy priorities and processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Interdisciplinary and multidimensional in its approach, this insightful Research Agenda critically analyses the principal issues that have emerged in recent years from tourism and well-being studies. It provides a detailed analysis of definitions and key concepts and explores the research agenda related to product and service development, motivation, segmentation and management using established as well as experimental methodologies. Enlightening contributions from leading scholars detail the role, indicators, and measurement of well-being in tourism economics, expertly examining issues of individual well-being and how experiences of well-being can be facilitated for both employees and tourists. The various impacts of tourism on well-being are analysed from a diverse range of perspectives, including collective experiences of social and diasporic tourism and individual experiences of well-being and transformation. Succinct and cutting-edge, A Research Agenda for Tourism and Well-being will appeal to students, academics, and researchers in tourism, sociology, economics, business, psychology, and human geography. It will also prove insightful to practitioners involved in product and service development, tourism and destination, marketing and human resources management sectors.
