Gambling Research: politics, magma and the public interest [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Gambling studies as a field of social research (as opposed to that corpus of work concerned with the pathology of the individual problem gambler) is, as contributors to the Gambling Research May 2009 special edition have made clear, a field strewn with obstacles. These include limited independent funding opportunities, political controversy, the operation of vested interests, and a fragmented research community. To add to this, it is as often as not perceived by academic peers as of limited scholarly interest.
