The Research Handbook on Entrepreneurship and Diversity provides a critical and comprehensive exploration of the three key facets of diversity in entrepreneurship: diversity of entrepreneurs, diversity of entrepreneurial contexts and diversity of entrepreneurial practices.A leading group of international contributors challenges the dominant Western-centric, high-growth, tech-driven entrepreneurship narrative by showcasing the multifaceted realities of entrepreneurship across different social, economic and institutional settings. The book examines how individual dimensions of diversity - including gender, ethnicity, migration status or sexual orientation - shape entrepreneurial experiences and opportunities. It also emphasises how social, spatial and institutional environments influence entrepreneurship, particularly for marginalised and minoritised groups. Furthermore, it explores the diversity of entrepreneurial practices, strategies and ambitions, illustrating how entrepreneurs innovate and adapt within their specific environments. Integrating superdiversity, intersectionality and relational perspectives, this volume offers fresh insights for students, researchers, policymakers and practitioners seeking to understand and advance inclusive entrepreneurship and equitable economic development in today's globalised world.

This book, at the nexus of migration and urban studies, sheds new light on a long-neglected group of transmigrants and the global city of Tokyo. Using extensive empirical material on transnational migrants from above and below, it locates and better specifies spatial diversification in Tokyo and beyond. By incorporating transnational spaces into urban diversity discourses, it extends the superdiversity debate to a socio-spatial dimension and examines the configuration and processes of diversity and diversification in global cities from a socio-spatial perspective. Unique in its theoretical focus on the spatial aspect of superdiversity, the book delivers rare empirical insights into the daily socio-spatial practices of transnational financial professionals and other transmigrants. This social geographical study reveals the complex interplay between global mobility and urban transformation. It will be of particular interest to urban and migration scholars in fields such as urban sociology, social geography, and urban anthropology, offering deep engagement with debates on urban diversity and transnational spaces.
