Dear Scholars:

ABC-CLIO, the leading publisher of academic reference works, is in

World History. We are looking for interested scholars to prepare

Economics and Trade.

Compensation: contributors will have their names associated with the 
entries they contribute, and will receive access to the e-book 
version of the entire encyclopedia (list price $1,800) for personal 
use. Contributors assigned 3,000 words or more will also receive a 
credit of $300 towards purchase of ABC-CLIO books.

In order to meet review standards, we do require that contributors 
hold a Ph.D., ABD or be currently enrolled in a doctoral program. If 
you are interested in writing 1 or more of the entries listed below,
