Betrayed Promoting Inclusive Development in Fragile States

Now available in paperback

Seth D. Kaplan, Johns Hopkins University, USA "Kaplan explains how hard-working individuals are shackled to their poverty, how discrimination stifles the entrepreneurial hopes of entire groups of people, and how political and economic exclusion conspire to keep elites rich at everyone else's expense. . . It is, he says, up to the elites and leaders of the developing world to start building and operating this machinery." - Jerry Rawlings, Former President of the Republic of Ghana "A welcome relief from the avalanche of microstudies with narrow approach and applicability . . . It is refreshing to see a multidisciplinary approach and one that references works from a wide variety of academic, think tank, practitioner, and official sources." - Governance

Betrayed explains how leaders in the developing world can build more inclusive societies and more equitable governments, thereby creating dynamic national economies and giving the poor the opportunity to accumulate the means and skills to control their own destinies.

Dryzek, Centenary Professor and Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow, University of Canberra, Australia Carbon Trading in China explores the political aspects of China's climate change policy, focusing on the newly established carbon markets and carbon trading schemes. Lo makes a case for understanding the policy change in terms of discourse and in relation to narratives of national power and development.

DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS Fusion Economics

India, China and Globalization

How Pragmatism is Changing the World

The Emerging Superpowers and the Future of Economic Development

Laurence J. Brahm, Professional, China "Fusion Economics is an extraordinary interweaving of personal experience and far-sighted economic and ecological thinking which may very well hold the key to China's future." - John Simpson, Word Affairs Editor, BBC News "Brahm is a rare combination of world class economist and hands-on entrepreneur. A down-toearth pragmatist, he has been economic advisor to major Asian heads of government. Fusion Economics will contribute greatly to revitalizing sagging economies." - John Naisbitt, author of Megatrends The current international financial system has created a huge gap between the wealthy and the rest. Grounded and straightforward in his approach, Brahm calls for a turn away from economic systems dangerously steeped in ideology and stymied by politics, outlining a new global consensus based on pragmatism, common sense, and grass-roots realities.

The authors add new elements to the existing literature, neatly framed in terms of 'credibility, complexity and usability', and make a compelling case for the value-added of such approaches. This book should be consulted widely by academics, development practitioners and policy makers engaged with these issues.' – Paul Schaffer, Trent University, Canada The added value of mixed methods research in poverty and vulnerability is now widely established.

DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS The Remaking of the Mining Industry

Social Capital in Development Planning

David Humphreys, Petropavlovsk PLC, London, UK

Linking the Actors

The industrialisation of China prompted the biggest commodity boom of modern times. Soaring prices gave rise to talk of a commodity super cycle and induced a wave of resource nationalism. The author, who was chief economist at two of the world's largest mining companies, describes how this resulted in a transformation of the global mining industry.

Raffaella Y. Nanetti, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, Catalina Holguin, Economic and Social Cohesion Laboratory, UK "In this important book, Nanetti and Holguin start out by distinguishing between growth and development within territorial communities. They then demonstrate, through careful theoretical analysis and revealing case studies, how nurturing social capital promotes development, defined as the realization of social justice." - Susan S. Fainstein, Senior Research Fellow, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USA "This is a timely and important volume. In an era of rising social inequalities and climate change, finding an alternative to the growth models inherited from the past may be the most pressing issue of our time. The authors of this volume demonstrate that building social capital is the path forward that best addresses the challenges of the twenty-first century." - Dennis R. Judd, Professor and Interim Head, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

Under Development: Gender

Old and New Regions Edited by Elisabetta Basile, University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’, Italy, Barbara Harriss-White, University of Oxford, UK, Christine Lutringer, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland 'A refreshing and original contribution to the literature on contemporary India. As promised, it explores the spatial dimensions of capital accumulation. But it does much more. It tells us about diversities of agrarian change; it explores relatively less known geographies of gender, caste, poverty, urban spaces and emerging inequalities.' - Surinder S. Jodhka, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India India's capitalist transformation has been spatially uneven. Combining several analytical approaches, the contributors identify socio-spatial regularities – some contiguous with state boundaries, some transcending states and some contained within them - while providing evidence about the spatial unevenness of India's capitalist development.

Economic Development Strategies and the Evolution of Violence in Latin America Edited by William Ascher, Claremont McKenna College, USA, Natalia Mirovitskaya, Duke Center for International Development, Duke University, USA ’In broad terms, this collection is the first I have seen to systematically address the relationship between post-Cold War development patterns and the use of violence in Latin America. This is a difficult topic—it was so much easier to address related questions during the Cold War, when a bipolar view of the world was so often superimposed on Latin America. Today, however, two decades after the disappearance of the Soviet Union, we know there are far more than two sides to almost every important question of Latin American politics and Latin American development patterns in particular. With standout contributions, this book will be of interest to students of comparative politics, both of violence in a cross-national context and of more traditional Latin American politics.’ - Lars Schoultz, William Rand Kenan, Jr., Professor of Political Science, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA This collection of case studies explains the pathways between development patterns, economic strategies, and violence in Latin America.

Taking specific country-contexts into account, the author argues that national poverty lines should be the benchmark for future anti-poverty policies.

Dirk Jacob Wolfson, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands 'A very well-thought-out, interesting and novel examination of the subject.' – Eugene Nulman, University of Kent, UK 'This interdisciplinary and non-technical introduction nests economic efficiency, fairness and ecological principles in a political economy framework. 'Situational contracts' meld these principles to yield understanding of how democratic societies seek a sustainable future. Such contracts reflect both political constraints and proxy information on citizen preferences; they lead to policy outcomes which mesh concerns with efficiency, justice, and "planners' preferences". This book provides unique and valuable insights into the complex process in which environmental policy is formed.' - Robert Haveman, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA The author shows how sustainable development may be organized, valued and distributed by introducing situational contracting as an interactive and contextual mode of governance. Situational contracting provides a road map for where we want to go, serving the prevailing ideology in implementing the trade between efficiency and fairness. Contents: 1. Introduction * 2.

DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS Pursuing Alternative Development Indigenous People, Ethnic Organization and Agency M. Saiful Islam, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh "This book will definitely enliven the debate about alternative ways of 'development'. The case study presented shows convincingly that underprivileged groups can develop themselves rather than being developed by others. Overall this is a useful text for academics, students and practitioners." - HansDieter Evers, Emeritus Professor of Development Studies, University of Bonn, Germany "This book offers both an anthropological critique of development, and also a pioneering ethnography of unusual indigenous organization working to improve the life conditions of its people. It is a superb ethnography and a well-written text, bearing a powerful moral message." - Gordon Mathews, Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Drawing upon ethnographic descriptions of three grassroots ethnic organizations, which work for indigenous peoples in promoting economic livelihood, education and strive for social justice, this book investigates the possibilities and challenges of alternative development.

ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS THEORY ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS THEORY

Are Markets Moral? Edited by Edward Skidelsky, University of Exeter, UK, Robert Skidelsky, University of Warwick, UK

Now available in paperback

This volume scrutinizes the functionality of a capitalist market society, which is usually praised for the efficiency and dynamism, rather than for its morality. It addresses the dualism behind capitalism's encouragement of greed, which is usually considered to be a moral failing, while also being a driver behind economic growth.

An Economic Interpretation of Linear Programming A Revised and Updated Edition Quirino Paris, University of California, Davis, USA "An Economic Interpretation of Linear Programming is a serious and meaningful revision of an already excellent book. It provides a refreshing and thoroughly unique perspective on linear programming that is imbued with Paris' characteristic passion for economics in general, and duality and symmetry in particular - beautiful is the word that comes to mind!" - Michael R. Caputo, Professor of Economics, University of Central Florida, USA "Paris' articulation of economic interpretations for mathematical structures is his forte and this book exceeded my expectations. The primary struggle for my students is not mastery of technical aspects but rather the application of those concepts to economic problems. This book's presentation of opportunity cost, relevant examples, and practice exercises will greatly assist students in making these connections. Furthermore, it is accomplished without sacrificing rigor." - Ken Foster, Professor and Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics, Purdue University, USA A tried and true manual for students and scholars of economists to understand linear programming.

Hayek’s Modern Family

Growth, Employment, Inequality, and the Environment

Classical Liberalism and the Evolution of Social Institutions

Unity of Knowledge in Economics: Volume II Adolfo Figueroa, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru "This is a challenging and fearless book – the outcome of an entire scholarly life. Figueroa builds a theory of the capitalist system, relating first and third worlds, which focuses on power as the exogenous variable. He throws down the gauntlet to the neo-classical paradigm. With careful methodology he derives the conclusion that given present power structures, output growth creates over time social disorder, inequality and environmental degradation. The solution, he argues, lies in true 'citizens' democracy'." - Rosemary Thorp, Emeritus Fellow, Oxford University, UK Growth, Employment, Inequality, and the Environment deals with the fundamental economic problems of our time: employment, inequality, the environment, and quality of life. These exciting new volumes are the first of their kind in which these problems are analyzed using a unified theory framework.

Steven Horwitz, St. Lawrence University, USA "Horwitz has been developing his ideas about classical liberalism and the family for decades. The wait is now over, and it has been well worth it. This highly original and well argued book provides a formidable challenge to all those whose knee-jerk reaction is that a free market society must be bad for families. Let the debates begin!" - Bruce Caldwell, Professor and Director, Center for the History of Political Economy, Duke University, USA "Thank goodness for an economist who understands that all parenting decisions involve risks and rewards, and who defends those of us who refuse to parent from a place of total risk aversion. What a refreshing outlook!" - Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids, blog and book

Hayek's Modern Family offers a classical liberal theory of the family, taking Hayekian social theory as the main analytical framework.

ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS THEORY Africans Investing in Africa

Redesigning Manufacturing

Understanding Business and Trade, Sector by Sector

Reimagining the Business of Making in the UK

Edited by Terence McNamee, The Brenthurst Foundation, South Africa, Mark Pearson, Independent, Zambia, Wiebe Boer, The Tony Elumelu Foundation, Nigeria

Michael Beverland, School of Management, University of Bath, UK, Beverley Nielsen, Birmingham City University, UK, Vicky Pryce, Centre for Economics and Business Research, UK

Africans Investing in Africa explores intra-African trade and investment by showing how, where and why Africans invest across Africa; to identify the economic, political and social experiences that hinder or stimulate investment; and to highlight examples of panAfrican investors.

Manufacturing in the UK has an image problem. Although this image problem is more fiction than fact, it nonetheless has an impact on the sector's ability to attract staff, capital, and policy interest. This book redresses this situation by focusing on the real successes of the sector and the strategies used by makers to achieve sustainable results.

Donatella Padua, Università per Stranieri di Perugia, Italy "Padua has asked the question: How is it possible to build value via trust? She has answered through the construction of a compelling argument for the creation of a balanced global economy and a fairer distribution of wealth based upon that elusive quality of trust." - Garry Titterton, former Visiting Professor, Executive MBA Course, Tonjin University, Shanghai, Co-author Brand Storming. Why does trust collapse in times of crisis? And when, instead, does it become a driver of growth, generating value? Through a sociological interpretation of the thought of John Maynard Keynes, Padua introduces the innovative concepts of Economy of Trust and Nominal Economy within the context of the 2008 financial crisis.

Edward B. Barbier, University of Wyoming, USA 'In an enormously ambitious and significant research programme, Professor Barbier has been reworking economic history from the deep past to the present by including environmental assets in societal accounts. In this book he adds to that account of history by providing quantitative estimates of the place of those assets in a society's wealth. This is work of a very high order and insight.' – Sir Partha Dasgupta, Frank Ramsey Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Cambridge, UK 'Ed Barbier has masterfully brought together environmental degradation and wealth inequality into a coherent and practical development strategy. He spells out how pricing nature and targeting inefficient natural resource use can be combined with human capital investment to tackle poverty in developing countries. It is a blueprint for a sustainable future.' - Dieter Helm, author of Natural Capital – Valuing the Planet Drawing on historical and contemporary evidence, this book argues that growing environmental degradation and wealth inequality are linked to how nature is exploited to create economic wealth. Ending the under-pricing of natural capital and insufficient human capital accumulation is essential to overcoming structural imbalance in modern economies. Contents: Introduction * 1.

The Politics of Climate Change, Military Intervention and Financial Crisis

Yoshimi Kuroda, Kyushu Sangyo (Industrial) University, Japan "This book has full of useful information about the structure of Japanese agriculture, its transformation, and obstacles to achieve it. That is why I strongly recommend policymakers, governmental agricultural officers, agricultural specialists, and agricultural economists, including graduate students, to read this book, learn lessons from the Japanese experience, and draw socially and globally useful policy implications." - Professor Keijiro Otsuka, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, Tokyo, Japan "This book is a must-read for researchers seeking to understand diverse aspects of and approaches to the study of Japanese agricultural structure, particularly in the rice sector." - Professor Masayoshi Honma, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, The University of Tokyo, Japan Kuroda uses quantitative measures to investigate the rice production structure and effects of agricultural policies in Japan over the second half of the 20th century. Almost all policies have played negative roles in transferring paddy lands from small- to large-scale farms, which has slowed down to modernize the rice sector.

Peter Lee, RAF College Cranwell, University of Portsmouth, UK 'Focusing upon the three great global political crises of our time – military intervention, the financial meltdown, and the actual 'meltdown' threatened by climate change – the author provides a probing and deeply unsettling assessment of the manner in which competing and often illusory truth-claims are fashioned by political leaders, governments, international institutions and demagogues solely in order to re-shape the world in their image, and to gain control over the lives of others. Our fundamental assumptions about what Truth is, or what it means, are put to test in this eloquent, articulate, and provocative work.' - George R. Lucas Jr., U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, USA

We live in an age of crises that are global in scale and potentially apocalyptic in severity, affecting the lives of millions – billions – of people. Peter Lee examines the struggle for truth at the heart of these crises to show how political leaders attempt to shape individual behavior, attitudes and identity.

Mathews, Macquarie University, Australia, Hao Tan, University of Newcastle, Australia The authors suggest that China's renewable energy system, the largest in the world, will quickly supersede the black energy system that has powered the country's rapid rise as workshop of the world – and for reasons that have more to do with fixing environmental pollution and enhancing energy security than with curbing carbon emissions.

Dance, Consumerism, and Spirituality C. S. Walter, Independent Scholar, USA "As a clergyperson deeply interested in today's postmodern spiritualities, I found this to be a very helpful book, particularly in my work with teenagers and young adults. C.S. Walter's mystical womanist perspective provides new insights into the interactions between spirituality, the arts, electronic media, and consumer culture. Her 'theodancecology' shows how we all might all become more fully human." - Rev. Dan Harper, Associate Minister, Religious Education, Unitarian Universalist Church, Palo Alto, USA Dance has proliferated in movies, television, Internet, and retail spaces while the spiritual power of dance has also been linked with mass consumption. Walter marries the cultural studies of dance and the religious aspects of dance in an exploration of consumption rituals, including rituals of being persuaded to buy products that include dance.

The Economics of Multitasking Edited by Charlene M. Kalenkoski, Texas Tech University, USA, Gigi Foster, University of New South Wales, Australia "The layered rhythms of daily life make it remarkably difficult to measure time use in a clear and consistent way. The essays in this volume go beyond documentation of multitasking to adapt and improve the neoclassical economic theory of time allocation. They also yield valuable insights into issues of survey design and interpretation, particularly relevant to the definition of time devoted to the care of children and needy adults. These are important contributions to the burgeoning field of time-use analysis." - Nancy Folbre, Director, Program on Gender and Care Work, Political Economy Research Institute, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA "The Economics of Multitasking, particularly in unpaid household production, challenges the treatment of this work in mainstream economics. This book uses best practice economic techniques to open a new space for the analysis of unpaid work, here focused on children and their care. In doing this it breaks a silence and opens many new opportunities for the use of these tools across household work activities." - Marilyn Waring, Professor of Public Policy, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand This first-of-its-kind volume explores the economic implications of multitasking, with a particular focus on the multitasking of non-market activities such as child care, housework, eating, and studying.

LABOUR ECONOMICS Paid Work Beyond Pension Age

Toward a Future Beyond Employment

Comparative Perspectives

Mehmet Cangul, International Monetary Fund, USA "In this engaging book, Cangul challenges us to examine our modern preoccupation with work, a crucially important topic in these troubling economic times. Cangul makes a persuasive case that we can be wealthier and happier if we start thinking of work as just one possible use of our time rather than our reason for living. " - Mark D. White, Chair and Professor, Department of Philosophy, College of Staten Island/CUNY, USA; author, The Manipulation of Choice: Ethics and Libertarian Paternalism "Cangul offers truly seminal ideas about life in a world that is eliminating jobs at a mind-boggling place. As the vortex of technological breakthroughs relentlessly speeds up, old paradigms crumble and take with them the binding mythologies that offer the comfort of stability. This insightful and challenging book addresses the coming world of diminished hours of work which will inevitably present workers in the West with the challenge of filling those hours with still undiscovered activities. This important book should be read by the policy makers who will guide our adjustment to those new activities." - Joseph Dillon Davey, Professor, Rowan University, USA

Edited by Simone Scherger, University of Bremen, Germany 'This volume is an excellent addition to the literature on extending working lives, tackling a neglected and under-researched group of older workers who challenge our traditional conceptualisations and understandings of retirement. The book provides a rich picture of the diversity of circumstances and motivations that lead to work after pension age and the characteristics of such work in a number of different countries.' -Sarah Vickerstaff, University of Kent, UK 'The book gives an outstanding overview of one the most challenging public policy issues of our time - the move towards extending working life. The various chapters provide illustrations from a wide range of countries, with an excellent combination of theoretical approaches and empirical studies.' -Chris Phillipson, University of Manchester, UK In many countries, the number of people working beyond pension age is increasing. This volume investigates this trend in seven different countries, examining the contexts of this development and the consequences of the shifting relationship between work and retirement.

The Post-Fordist Sexual Contract Digital Labour and Prosumer Capitalism

Working and Living in Contingency Edited by Lisa Adkins, University of Newcastle, Australia, Maryanne Dever, University of Newcastle, Australia "What does the sexual contract look like in times of contingency and precarity? How is contemporary post-Fordist capitalism rewriting the regulatory ideals of earlier eras? These are questions that the contributors set out to answer in this challenging and provocative collection which ranges from migrant workers to mommy bloggers and the affective attachments of academics. A fascinating and compelling collection that will be a must-read for anyone interested in work and life today." Rosalind Gill, City University, UK This collection analyzes shifting relationships between gender and labour in post-Fordist times. Contingency creates a sexual contract in which attachments to work, mothering, entrepreneurship and investor subjectivity are the new regulatory ideals for women over a range of working arrangements, and across classed and raced dimensions.

MONEY, BANKING AND FINANCE Market Liquidity Risk

Public Credit Rating Agencies

Implications for Asset Pricing, Risk Management, and Financial Regulation

Increasing Capital Investment and Lending Stability in Volatile Markets

Andria van der Merwe, Compass Lexecon and IIT Stuart School of Business, USA 'Dr. Van Der Merwe's book is an excellent and comprehensive discussion of the nature and drivers of market liquidity risk and its impact on financial asset prices. The book seamlessly integrates theory and references to the academic literature with reviews of empirical evidence and practical applications. Market practitioners should find this book invaluable both as an introduction to the topic and an accessible current review of academic research in this area.'— Christopher L. Culp, PhD, Johns Hopkins Institute of Applied Economics and Institut für Finanzmanagement, Universität Bern 'Andria van der Merwe has produced a superb analysis of liquidity. Not only does she explain why 'liquidity' is a much more profound concept than most of us might initially think, but also how our institutions create (and inhibit) it. Bottom line: liquidity is valuable and, as with all items of value, it is costly to obtain.'— Jonathan I. Arnold, PhD, Formerly Chief Economist, Office of the New York Attorney General

Susan K. Schroeder, University of Sydney, Australia "The momentum of investment and financing decisions has become increasingly subject to the influence of credit rating agencies. Yet the differing methods they deploy to determine credit worthiness assessments, the variability in their determinations and, above all, the tendencies to overstate risk should prompt serious questions about the influence these agencies have in shaping the dynamics of contemporary capitalism. In this provocative study, Schroeder exposes the potentially damaging consequences of this privileged role. In mounting a powerful case for moderating the influence of credit rating agencies, Schroeder builds upon the heterodox economic tradition to advocate for the establishment of a public agency that would enhance the integrity of credit rating assessments and focus on delivering investment stability." – Stuart Rosewarne, Associate Professor of Political Economy, University of Sydney, Australia "Private security rating agencies are paid by firms wanting to sell securities; understandably they rate securities highly. In this thoughtful book, Schroeder proposes public rating agencies as a policy solution. She argues cogently that this would eliminate conflicts of interest, provide investors with more useful information, and help stabilize the economy." – Steven Pressman, Professor of Economics and Finance, Monmouth University, USA

Private Equity Investing in Emerging Markets Opportunities for Value Creation Roger Leeds, John Hopkins University, USA 'For anyone with more than a fleeting interest in private equity in emerging markets, Roger Leeds' book is an invaluable resource. Private equity is so fundamentally different in emerging economies that it barely merits the same nomenclature. Leeds makes this clear and provides readers a roadmap for taking advantage of the opportunities these differences present. As he rightly points out, 'the case for private equity is even more compelling in developing countries, where alternative sources of capital and business expertise are relatively scarce.' He relays his insights through aptly chosen case studies' - Diana Noble, CEO, CDC Drawing on the author's four decades of experience as a practitioner and academician working with private equity investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers in over 100 developing countries around the world, this book uses anecdotes and case studies to illustrate and reinforce the key arguments for private equity investment in emerging economies.

Robert Z. Aliber, USA Charles P. Kindleberger, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA "The turmoil of 2007-8 reminded us only too painfully that financial crises are not confined to distant times and places. This latest edition of Charlie Kindleberger's classic study of man's serial financial follies, updated by Robert Aliber, brings the story right up to the present. A fount of wisdom not only for students of finance and economics, but also for central bankers and financial market practitioners." – Professor Sir Charles Bean, The London School of Economics, UK "Since its original publication, this has been one of my indispensable books. It served to help me grasp the gravity of financial crises that afflicted my country and guided me, hopefully, to recommend and take better policy decisions. It has also been an essential teaching tool. For example, on 15 September 2008 I asked my students to read at once several chapters so that they could better understand the events that started to unfold that morning. I welcome with enthusiasm this new edition!" - Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León, Director Yale Center for the Study of Globalization; Former President of Mexico This seventh edition of an investment classic has been thoroughly revised and expanded following the latest crises to hit international markets. Renowned economist Robert Z. Aliber introduces the concept that global financial crises in recent years are not independent events, but symptomatic of an inherent instability in the international system.

MONEY, BANKING AND FINANCE Basic Income Guarantee Your Right to Economic Security

Now available in paperback

Allan Sheahen, US Basic Income Guarantee Network "This book is a great idea - brilliantly stated. Some may think it's ultra-liberal, as they did when I proposed a similar idea in 1972. I see it as true conservatism - the right of income for all Americans sufficient for food, shelter, and basic necessities. Or, what Jefferson referred to as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - U.S. Senator George McGovern, 1972 Democratic Party Presidential Candidate "Sheahen and I are as far apart on political philosophy and the causes of the nation's current mess as two people can be, but we both think that a basic income guarantee has to be part of the solution. That says something about the potential of this important idea whose time, as we both hope, is coming. Basic Income Guarantee will help make that happen." - Charles Murray, author of In Our Hands: A Plan to Replace the Welfare State Basic Income Guarantee , an updated version of Sheahen's original 1983 work, is a comprehensive look at a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) and what it would mean for the United States today.

POLITICAL ECONOMY The Economics of Schooling in a Divided Society

The Logic of Estrangement Reason in an Unreasonable Form

The Case for Shared Education

Julius Sensat, University of Wisconsin, USA

Vani K. Borooah, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, UK, Colin Knox, University Of Ulster, Northern Ireland, UK Countries that have suffered ethnic or religious conflict and become segregated societies reflect these divisions in education provision for their children. Northern Ireland is a case study in point where a parallel system of schools offers education in Catholic maintained schools and Protestant (de facto) controlled schools. While school segregation is the most obvious manifestation of Northern Ireland's fractured society, there are more important issues of 'educational inequality' with respect to schools and pupils. This book analyses three issues in some detail: segregation, educational performance and inequality in educational outcomes between schools and between pupils from deprived and affluent family backgrounds. Thus far public policies to tackle these issues have been met with limited success. The authors consider an alternative approach, which they term 'shared education', the aim of which is to improve school performance and, in so doing, to dismantle some of the barriers between maintained and controlled schools. Contents: CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION – DIVIDED COMMUNITIES * CHAPTER 2: THE HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF EDUCATION IN NORTHERN IRELAND * CHAPTER 3: THE EDUCATION POLICY CONTEXT * CHAPTER 4: POST-PRIMARY SCHOOLS’ PERFORMANCE * CHAPTER 5: INEQUALITY AND SEGREGATION * CHAPTER 6: SHARED EDUCATION – AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH * CHAPTER 7: THE ECONOMICS OF SHARED EDUCATION * CHAPTER 8: CONCLUSIONS – EMBEDDING SHARED EDUCATION * REFERENCES May 2015 UK May 2015 US 208pp 16 figures, 25 b/w tables Hardback £68.00 / $105.00 / CN$121.00 Canadian Rights ebooks available www.palgrave.com/page/detail/?k=9781137461865

Antitrust Institutions and Policies in the Globalising Economy Eleonora Poli, City Political Economy Research Centre (CITYPERC), City University London, UK "Poli has generated a welcome contribution to the study of global anti-trust policy formation. Crafting an institutional IPE interpretation, the book weaves together a convincing narrative of how American ideas have been disseminated internationally and internalised domestically – without losing sight of how national specificities mediate such institutionalisation, indeed neoliberalisation, processes." - Thomas Marois, SOAS, UK Eleonora Poli analyses how ideas and material interests have come to determine the evolution of antitrust policies in the USA, EU, Japan and BRICS. She argues that three major economic crises together with market globalisation have changed governments' perceptions of market competition, giving rise to a neoliberal global phase.

Ray Kiely, Queen Mary University of London, UK "Ray Kiely has produced the most thoughtful, balanced and perceptive book yet on the limitations of the rapid capitalist development that has taken in the BRICS and some other countries of the global south in recent decades. A must read." - Leo Panitch, York University, Canada The author examines the rise of the BRICs and the supposed decline of the United States. Focusing on the boom years from 1992 to 2007, and the crisis years after 2008, he argues that there are limits to the rise of the former and that the extent of US decline has been greatly exaggerated.

POLITICAL ECONOMY The Global Division of Labour

International Cooperation in the Development of Russia’s Far East and Siberia

Development and Inequality in World Society Richard Münch, University of Bamberg, Germany "Contributions that utilize classical and modern sociological theory are still a rare breed within the burgeoning literature on development and global inequality. In this groundbreaking book, Richard Münch builds on Durkheim's classical approach for the sociological exploration of a global division of labour. Going beyond the usual confines of international political economy, he forcefully demonstrates what it means to think about development and inequality within the broader social context of a world society." - Mathias Albert, Universität Bielefeld, Germany Global free trade is one of the most controversial phenomena of our time. Richard Münch offers a new theory of global labour division to explain deeper transformations in the production and distribution of wealth brought about by global free trade. He then carries out and analyzes empirical investigations based on this theory. Contents: 1. Introduction: The dynamics of global labour division * 2.

POLITICAL ECONOMY The Political Economy of Rare Earth Elements

Recipient States in Global Health Politics

Rising Powers and Technological Change

PEPFAR in Africa

Edited by Ryan David Kiggins, University of Central Oklahoma, USA

Ricardo Pereira, Foundation for Science and Technology, Portugal

The contributors argue that rare earths are essential to the information technology revolution on which humans have come to depend for communication, commerce, and, increasingly, engage in conflict. They demonstrate that rare earths are a strategic commodity over which political actors will and do struggle for control.

Even if constrained in their international choices, recipient countries of global health programmes hold the capacity to autonomously define and pursue their own strategies, policies, and ultimately attain political goals. This is comparatively demonstrated through the analysis of PEPFAR's implementation in Botswana, Ethiopia and South Africa.

Power and Imbalances in the Global Monetary System A Comparative Capitalism Perspective Mattias Vermeiren, Ghent University, Belgium 'Vermeiren's creative analysis calls attention to the domestic institutional sources of international economic imbalances involving US, China and the Eurozone.

The Political Economy of Microfinance Financializing Poverty Philip Mader, Institute of Development Studies, UK 'Microfinance is financialization dressed up as charity: a pathway for global finance to penetrate the capitalist periphery. In this richly documented book, Mader dispels the myth that debt can move the poor out of poverty. Far from an economics of liberation, microfinance is part of a politics of repression: it extracts more wealth than it creates, and reinforces economic dependence.' - Wolfgang Streeck, Emeritus Professor, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Germany According to the author, rather than alleviating poverty, microfinance financialises poverty. By indebting poor people in the Global South, it drives financial expansion and opens new lands of opportunity for the crisis-ridden global capital markets. This book raises fundamental concerns about this widelycelebrated tool for social development. Contents: 1. A Framework for Engaging Microfinance * 2. A Genealogy of Microfinance * 3.

Emerging Issues in Contemporary African Economies Onyeiwu, Emerging Issues in Contemporary African Economies Emerging Issues in Contemporary African Economies, Onyeiwu

Structure, Policy, and Sustainability Steve Onyeiwu, Allegheny College, USA "Onyeiwu has written an important book that captures the complexity and diversity of Africa while identifying some common lessons for development policy. Unlike other approaches, Onyeiwu's evolutionary framework stresses the importance of contingency, path dependence, and institution building. If the countries of Africa heed Onyeiwu's advice and learn from past mistakes and successes the continent's future can be a bright one." - John Gowdy, Professor of Economics and Administrative Head of the Department of Science and Technology Studies, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA "Using an evolutionary analysis backed by solid empirical evidence, Onyeiwu painstakingly dissects one of the most fundamental questions on Africa today, which is whether the recent growth spurt in the continent can be sustained. The book meets the expectations of both experienced social scientists interested in Africa as well as readers seeking a friendly yet intellectually sound introduction to Africa's past, recent, and prospective economic development. It is a unique resource for teaching African development." - Léonce Ndikumana, Professor and Director of the African Development Policy Program, Political Economy Research Institute, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA Onyeiwu focuses on how events of the twenty-first century are shaping key sectors of African economies and societies.

Europe and the Financial Crisis

Now available in paperback

Edited by Leila Simona Talani, King’s College London, UK, Pompeo Della Posta, University of Pisa, Italy "Six years into the global financial crisis Europe remains mired in stagnation and, throughout large areas of the periphery, actual depression. The EU itself confronts a fundamental crisis of identity. Once viewed as guarantors of the social market, its institutions now serve as key enforcers of global austerity. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the crisis and its impact on Europe. The first part explores the impact on Europe's key institutions, including the beleaguered euro. The second part focuses on individual countries, including both member-states of the EU and beyond. This impressive collection is essential reading for those who wish to gain a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary European predicament." Alan Cafruny, Henry Platt Bristol Professor of International Affairs, Hamilton College, Clinton, USA The global financial and economic crisis has brought about many effects that are still difficult to interpret univocally. This book studies the consequences of the crisis on Europe by examining the effects on the European institutional setup, governance and architecture and by studying in detail the different member countries.

Daniel M. Knight, Durham University, UK, Robert Layton, Durham University, UK "The Greek crisis has largely been addressed as a drama of loan repayments and fiery public protests. In this evocative ethnography, Knight captures the sense of temporal vertigo induced in an ordinary local community as assumptions about continuing prosperity give way to the apprehension that unfortunate past times are returning. This book is must reading for anyone wishing to understand the social experience and human cost of financial crisis." - Charles Stewart, University College London, UK, and author of Dreaming and Historical Consciousness in Island Greece (2012)

Edited by Magnus Henrekson, Research Institute of Industrial Economics, Sweden, Mikael Stenkula, Research Institute of Industrial Economics, Sweden "This book characterizes the Swedish tax system and all its changes during a 150-year period. All important taxes and tax bases are covered: Labor, capital, wealth, inheritance and gift, goods and services, and finally real estate. The completeness and long historical coverage make this a unique set of information. I predict that this book will be the standard reference in all future research involving Swedish taxes." - Lennart Flood, Professor, University of Gothenburg, Sweden "This volume provides a comprehensive overview in English of the entire Swedish tax system, covering the 152 years from 1862 to 2013. The Swedish tax structure has varied enormously over this period, with at least ten major tax reforms, and with marginal tax rates reaching levels rarely seen in any other country. This volume should become a key reference for a wide range of papers studying how taxes affect firm and individual behavior." - Roger H. Gordon, Professor, University of California, San Diego, USA

The Early Years Child Well-Being and the Role of Public Policy Inter-American Development Bank, The InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB) is an international institution created in 1959 to foster economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean, Samuel Berlinski, Inter-American Development Bank, USA, Norbert Schady, Inter-American Development Bank "The state's recognition of human rights should be inescapable. Society and government share the responsibility of encouraging younger generations to reach their full potential. Children are the present but, above all, the future of a nation.

Latin America after the Financial Crisis Economic Ramifications from Heterodox Perspectives

Essays on Monetary, Exchange Rate, and Fiscal Policies Jaime Ros, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México "The book is an attractive combination of theoretical and applied economics. It gives answers to two main questions: What explains the poor growth of the Latin American region over the past thirty years? What explains the diversity in the growth performances of individual Latin American countries in the same period? The legacy of the shocks of the 1980s interacting with the variety of macroeconomic policies (fiscal, monetary, and exchange) can provide satisfactory answers to both questions." - Roberto Frenkel, Principal Research Associate at Centro de Estudios de Estado y Sociedad (CEDES); Honorary Professor, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina Development Macroeconomics in Latin America and Mexico brings the attention of academics, practitioners, and policy makers to the neglected macroeconomic factors that can account for both the unsatisfactory average growth performance of Latin American and the diversity around this average.

Anthony Elson, Johns Hopkins University, USA ‘In this lucid, timely, and meticulously researched work, Elson bolsters his thesis by comparing the evolutions of six nations . . . The starkly different outcomes offer broad lessons for policymakers, which the author deftly outlines in 10 'propositions' about the nature of successful economic development. Any economics text requires some intellectual stamina, but Elson does an admirable job of untangling the complex forces at work and presenting them in ways that laymen can understand.’ - Kirkus Reviews Comparing the experience of East Asia and Latin America since the mid-1970s, Elson identifies the key internal factors common to each region which have allowed East Asia to take advantage of the trade, financial, and technological impact of a more globalized economy to support its development, while Latin America has not.

Why Americans Can't Get Ahead and How New Savings Policies Can Help Christian E. Weller, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA, and Center for American Progress, USA "Few issues vex Americans more than inadequate retirement preparation. And few books provide a clearer picture of the problem - and what can be done to fix it - than Weller's deeply researched analysis. Weller covers all the bases: the gaps in Social Security, the perils of employment-based accounts, the upsidedown structure of tax breaks, and the huge financial barriers that stand between a risk-inundated middle class and sufficient retirement wealth. Perhaps most important, he lays out an ambitious but realistic path toward a stronger and fairer system that can provide the retirement security that so many Americans feel they have lost." - Jacob S. Hacker, Director of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies and Stanley B. Resor Professor of Political Science, Yale University, USA; author of The Great Risk Shift: The New Economic Insecurity and the Decline of the American Dream In the US, retirement savings are low while risk exposure is high, thus dooming many retirees to a low standard of living.

WELFARE AND PUBLIC SECTOR ECONOMICS WELFARE AND PUBLIC SECTOR ECONOMICS

How Management of Public Assets Can Boost or Bust Economic Growth

The Welfare Trait How State Benefits Affect Personality Adam Perkins, King’s College London, UK 'The Welfare Trait is electrifying – energising and shocking. Dr Perkins, an expert in the neurobiology of personality, argues that a generous welfare state can proliferate employment-resistant personality characteristics. The scientific discharge of this new theory is sure to spark high voltage debate – be prepared for a jolt!' – Philip Corr, Professor of Psychology, City University, London, UK Childhood disadvantage encourages the development of antisocial, 'employment-resistant' personality characteristics which harm life outcomes in adulthood. A welfare state therefore risks harming society by increasing the number of citizens who develop employment-resistant personality characteristics due to disadvantage during childhood. Contents: Preface * 1. What is Personality and why does the Welfare State matter? * 2. The Employment-Resistant Personality Profile * 3. The Lifelong Impact of Personality * 4.

The Public Wealth of Nations

9781137555274 9781137555281

Dag Detter, Whetstone Solutions AB, Sweden, Stefan Fölster, Reform Institute, Sweden 'Public wealth is vast, but largely overlooked as an asset class. Improving its management is one of the most important economic issues of our time. Dag Detter and Stefan Fölster shed much light on the subject. One can only hope that their book will kick-start a debate that ushers in better stewardship of state land, buildings, utilities and other assets. The potential gains are enormous.' - Matthew Valencia, The Economist 'At a time of mistrust in traditional politics and weak public finances, Dag Detter and Stefan Fölster show politicians the way to demonstrate they are on the side of the people and to manage government assets better. There should be no excuse for those in power to dismiss these ideas.' - Chris Giles, Economics Editor, Financial Times Two leading economists argue that publicly owned commercial assets need to be taken out of the control of politicians. This radical, reforming book could lead to the creation of entirely new departments in the world's major banks, improve the fabric of democratic institutions across the globe, and increase global living standards. Contents: 1. What can public wealth do for you? * 2. Don’t rock the boat and the hand that feeds you - the cost of poor management * 3. How state run business can ruin the economy and politics * 4.

Debt, Democracy and the Welfare State Are Modern Democracies Living on Borrowed Time and Money? Rögnvaldur Hannesson, Norwegian School of Economics, Norway Why is it that government debt in the developed world has risen to world war proportions in a time of peace?
