Good to see the release of this copy, The Urbanising Dynamics of Global China Speculation, Articulation, and Translation in Global Capitalism, a republication edition of our journal special issue with the same title (see here) with Yimin Zhao and Sin Yee Koh.
It was a pleasant surprise when Taylor & Francis reached out in mid-November 2024 with a proposal to publish the above journal special issue papers as an edited volume. They had an editorial team that worked on the “Routledge Special Issues as Books programme”, which seems to be actively looking for promising journal special issues that can be turned into an edited volume for wider audience reach.
The whole process was fairly straightforward, as there was no additional editorial work needed on the part of editors. The whole process took about six months from the time of receiving the initial proposal e-mail from the publisher until the release of the book.
