Talk:Public interest accounting

Overlap with other topics
I'm curious as to the appropriate relationship between this article and other potential articles on accounting research, including interpretive accounting research and critical accounting research. How might we arrange and link these approaches? It seems to me that interpretive accounting research is a broader topic than public interest accounting, and that critical accounting and public interest accounting (as described in this article) overlap considerably. Thoughts?

 * Just want to bring a discussion here from my talk page: Comments there suggest public interest accounting is part of critical accounting, but "more explicit in its subject position and teleological orientation." These labels tend to be empty signifiers (what is critical accounting critical of? which public? which interest?) so they will always be contested. Articles on these topics will therefore overlap and should be connected through mutual internal links and a common root in the main accounting research article.


 * A list of other proposed accounting research sub-articles now includes:
 * Behavioural accounting
 * CSR accounting
 * Critical accounting
 * Interpretive/interpretative/interdisciplinary accounting


 * Does anyone have any other branches to suggest?
