Jonathan Glasspool, Managing
Director of Bloomsbury Academic & Professional said, ‘We’re very pleased to
have reached an agreement with Manchester University Press. The list will find
a good home in MUP, which has a high-quality publishing programme in Politics
and other Social Sciences – from monographs and edited collections to textbooks
for course use. The decision will help us to invest further in core areas
of academic publishing, on the back of our best year ever’.
Frances Pinter, CEO of Manchester
University Press said, ‘MUP is thrilled to take these projects forward.
The synergy of the books with our own publishing programme couldn’t be better.
We greatly appreciate the editorial care taken by Bloomsbury in developing
these projects and look forward to working with these excellent authors. The
press has a commitment to marketing its books aggressively and creatively, and
its books are distributed around the world (in the Americas, by Oxford
University Press).’
