Academic publisher Emerald Group Publishing, UK, has announced an exclusive books partnership with Paths International to bring knowledge from China to scholars around the world. As part of this agreement, Emerald will distribute Paths's collection of books written in China and make them available to international communities of researchers and students.
Emerald and Paths invite delegates at the London Book Fair to visit their respective stands L620 and R605 in order to find out more about this innovative collaboration to disseminate research.
Due to government and trading restrictions, foreign publishers are not currently able to establish entities within China that allow them to own Chinese publications. Paths International has exclusive agreements with institutions and publishers in China to produce and promote quality titles outside of China. With this partnership, Emerald becomes the exclusive sales and distribution agent for these books.
Paths will publish 74 new titles this year, 57 of which are in the English language, in the fields of social sciences, business and economics, international relations, architecture, and economic history. Emerald will use its existing global distribution network to bring books published by Paths International to their target audience outside of China.
