The Global Encyclopaedia of Informality, Volume 3.

The Global Encyclopaedia of Informality, Volume 3: A hitchhiker’s guide to informal problem-solving in human life is now available to download from the UCL Press Website

Edited by Prof Alena Ledeneva, this encyclopaedia continues the journey of the two previous volumes into the world’s open secrets, unwritten rules and hidden practices. It focuses on issues of emotional ambivalence and pressures of the digital age. The informal practices presented in this volume demonstrate the urgency of alleviating tensions between continuity and all-too-rapid change and the need to tackle the central problem of modern societies – uncertainty.

This volume is part of the FRINGE series. FRINGE is UCL's Centre for the Study of Social and Cultural Complexity, founded at SSEES.
