In writing this introduction we have drawn on ideas expressed during a roundtable discussion held at a seminar hosted at Edinburgh Napier University in March 2009, attended by most of the contributors to this special issue. We would also like to thank Jacqueline Davidson, Steve Fothergill, Anne Green and David Webster for comments on an earlier version of this introduction.
