International Encyclopedia of Human Geography

The International Encyclopedia of Human Geography is a 2009 academic

editors-in-chief are Rob Kitchin and Nigel Thrift and it contains a foreword by Mary Robinson

Controversy

The development of the encyclopedia has been subject to episodic controversy resulting from the involvement of a subsidiary of Elsevier's parent company

defence exhibition industry. Following a high-profile campaign coordinated on the crit-geog-forum mailing list and focused specifically on a perceived conflict of interest between the arms trade and academic publishing, on June 1, 2007 Reed Elsevier announced that it would be exiting the business during the second half of that year.^[1]
