This is the first and only book to offer a comprehensive survey of accounting
research on a broad international scale for the last two centuries. Its main emphasis is
on accounting research in the English, German, Italian, French and Spanish language areas;
it also contains chapters dealing with research in Finland, the Netherlands, Scandinavia,
Russia, Poland and the Ukraine as well as Argentina and Japan.
In a time of financial globalization, familiarity with accounting research in countries
beyond the English language boundary is no less important than familiarity with the
recent, comprehensive research activity in the English language area. It also offers a
survey of the present state of the art (from empirical to analytical accounting and from
such esoteric subjects as gender issues to the archaeology of accounting); finally, it
casts a glance into the future.
