- Double-weighted statement
- This output is double weighted because it required a sustained research effort of seven years to produce. It involves cases on the ground from areas as diverse as Honduras, China, Vietnam and India. It included extensive archival work from the United States. In some cases access to workers was complex or difficult to obtain. Language and institutional barriers contributed to the protracted nature of the research. Each empirical chapter contains a research project in itself. For example, ethnographic research in the South Indian case study required the author revisited the site four times over the course of five years.
