Abstract
The World Congress at Newcastle, United Kingdom was the thirteenth such
event. It attracted delegates from across the world and 119 papers were
presented – 66% from academics from four countries (Italy, Turkey, UK
and US). Most of these papers (75%) covered the period from 1800
onwards. This paper sets out the contextual framework in which the
papers presented at the World Congress should be viewed with particular
reference to the problems faced by non-Anglo-Saxon academics
trying to publish in English-language journals. It then introduces the
papers accepted for the special issue, highlighting some of the
overlapping themes. These papers cover a wider range of topics than is
usual in English-speaking journals (two relating to British
Shipbuilding, one on accounting developments from Mesopotamia to today,
one on Japanese accounting in World War II and two on medieval
accounting (in England and Turkey).
