My initial search for literature (on full-text electronic libraries) yields a huge array of resources; there are thousands of “weighty” books and articles on the topic. The literature review could potentially encompass all of written history as the topic has been relevant since the dawn of agriculture and the beginning of commerce and writing. However, as I have but 15,000 words to work with, I will need to focus narrowly for a manageable amount of research. As I will be working with a specific organisation in a particular place, it seems likely that my research will focus on the recent (past several hundred years, perhaps) of this place and the relation people have to it.
