Spears D: After the Spike

After the Spike

Population, Progress, and the Case for People

Introduces a data-driven framework for measuring governance through a fourteen-component Macro-Governance Index, demonstrating its strong predictive power for national development outcomes and offering practical tools to diagnose governance gaps and guide policy interventions.
Every year, governments borrow trillions, spend billions on development programs, and publish volumes of economic statistics-yet no widely accepted framework exists for answering a deceptively simple question: is governance actually working? Traditional approaches rely on subjective expert assessments or narrowly focused indices that measure inputs rather than outcomes. Macro-Governance Theory proposes that governance can be measured with the same empirical rigor we bring to medicine, engineering, and economics-and that doing so is essential if citizens and policymakers are to hold institutions accountable for results. 

Drawing on 26 years of publicly available data across 170 countries, the book constructs the Macro-Governance Index (MGI)-a fourteen-component composite spanning infrastructure, connectivity, financial inclusion, human capital, security, institutional quality, and economic integration. The MGI correlates with the UN Human Development Index at r = 0.97, and this relationship is not driven by income alone: controlling for GNI, the framework retains substantial independent predictive power, confirming that governance infrastructure-not just wealth-determines whether nations deliver well-being to their citizens. 

The book reveals patterns that conventional measures miss. Novel metrics for credit access and household-level financial reach show that the effective economic gap between the Global North and Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 70× rather than the 53× that standard income comparisons suggest-a hidden disparity with profound implications for development policy. A governance simulation framework models how investments in one dimension cascade through others, enabling policymakers to identify the highest-leverage interventions for their country's specific development stage. 

Seven detailed case studies-Singapore, Rwanda, Estonia, Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, and Lebanon-demonstrate how the framework diagnoses governance strengths and weaknesses in practice. An analysis of the ten fastest-rising nations reveals that while successful governance strategies differ radically across political systems, they share common patterns in infrastructure sequencing and institutional development that the MGI captures and quantifies. 

Designed for dual utility, the book serves as an analytical framework for researchers and policymakers and as an accessible assessment tool for citizens through the companion website grademygovernment.com. A full reproducibility dataset covering all 170 countries across seven benchmark years is included, making this not just an argument for governance science but its working prototype.

A Data-Driven Framework for Measuring and Improving Governance Across Nations

Macro-Governance Theory

This book tackles Jakarta’s pressing environmental and governance challenges, with their wider implications for Indonesia. Underpinned by deep scientific analysis, it highlights the need for integrated planning and ecosystem protection to avert disasters. It critiques the current urban development focus on economic growth, which often overlooks the need for sustainability and inclusiveness. By promoting good governance, this book emphasizes the crucial role of preserving both land and marine ecosystems in urban planning to protect Jakarta from environmental and disaster risks. The uniqueness of this book stems from its sharp critique of current development models that neglect environmental and social sustainability, leading to social exclusion and marginalization. It is organized into four main sections, each dissecting different facets of governance and ecological tactics vital for sustaining Jakarta. Aimed at students, academics, policymakers, and business leaders dealing with Jakarta's intricate challenges, this book introduces fresh methodologies and viewpoints. It brings together a range of experts to discuss historical contexts, practical realities, and strategic visions. As a thorough guide for re-envisioning Jakarta’s development strategies, it encourages a vital discussion on reshaping urban growth to prevent the city from sinking while promoting a more inclusive and sustainable urban future.

Jakarta Sinking

Giving birth is everyone's business.In this book, midwife and bestselling author Leah Hazard takes us from luxurious birthing suites to maximum-security prisons, from border-town clinics to refugee camps, freebirthing communities to wards dominated by algorithms, showing how childbirth provides a startling lens onto the biggest issues of our time. With clarity and curiosity, Hazard explores how inequality, migration, climate change and political currents are shaping this universal yet intimate human experience, revealing the competing forces that are battling to technologize, moralize, commoditize and dominate the birth space in ways that have already transformed our bodies and our world.In exposing the fragility of modern industrialized maternity care Birth Wars issues a warning and a rallying cry: highlighting the transformative - or destructive - power of this essential act, not only for the person giving birth, but also for the child who bears the lifelong effects of that day, and for society as a whole.

Enorme Ungleichheiten, Klimakatastrophe, schleichende Faschisierung, unumschränkte polizeiliche Kontrolle - das Spektakel des Kapitalismus ist eine riesige Obszönität, die den politischen Vorstellungshorizont zunehmend beschränkt. Dass unter solchen Umständen der Gedanke aufkommt, man solle keine Hoffnungen in die vom Kapitalismus kolonisierten Staatsorgane setzen, ist leicht nachvollziehbar. Doch was ist die Alternative? Wie können wir uns eine Welt vorstellen, die nicht mehr von Institutionen, Bürokratie, Polizei, Lohnarbeit und dem Diktat des Geldes beherrscht wird? Wie lässt sich ein Leben denken - und leben - jenseits von Hierarchie und Herrschaft? 

 In seinem leidenschaftlichen Gespräch mit Félix Boggio Éwanjé-Épée begibt sich der französische Soziologe und Ökonom Frédéric Lordon mitten hinein in die von existenziellen Katastrophen geplagte Gegenwart und zeichnet so mitSchärfe, Witz und intellektueller Brillanz, dabei politische Theorie mit der spinozistischen Idee des Anderswerdens verknüpfend, die Konturen eines Denkens, das nicht resigniert, sondern Mut macht - Mut dazu, sich die eigene Vorstellungskraft zurückzuerobern.

Everyone is talking about sustainability, yet its concrete meaning and consequences are often unclear. This handbook explains how global goals, climate change, and policy in the UN, EU 27, Germany, US, UK, and China fit together and shape our future.
It leads the reader from core concepts and key international agreements through a concise stock taking and long term outlook to concrete instruments for a more sustainable world. The handbook focuses on the real impact of global and European measures on economies, societies, and the planet. The role of Germany, the US, UK, and China is presented in each case.
Prof. Fieber assesses the achievements of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The countries responsible for global warming are identified and their contributions to improving the situation are compared. In addition, the advantages of liberal democracy over autocracy for achieving greater sustainability in one's own country and worldwide are a subject of this book.
The author¿s aim is to sharpen reader¿s awareness of the necessity for climate action while showing that ambitious sustainability policy can secure stable ecological, social, and economic foundations for future generations. 
It should also be made clear that every individual can contribute to greater sustainability. Taken together, government policy and these personal contributions can bring about a significant improvement in sustainability worldwide.

Der Blick über die Grenzen zeigt: Die liberalen Demokratien sind in der Defensive, längst ist unklar, ob nicht der Autokratie die Zukunft gehört. Und auch in Deutschland haben der Aufstieg des Rechtspopulismus und die zunehmende soziale Ungleichheit zu einem Verlust von Vertrauen in die Demokratie geführt, der ihr Verschwinden denkbar werden lässt. Dieser Essay blickt nicht nostalgisch auf die gute alte Zeit der liberalen Demokratie zurück, sondern betrachtet diese als historisch spezifische Ordnung in einer Phase kollektiven Wohlstands, die an ihr Ende gekommen ist. Statt Visionen zur Rettung des Überkommenen zu entwerfen, fragen die Autoren, was danach kommen könnte: Expertokratie, Digitalisierung und verschärfte Exklusionen sind nicht zwangsläufig ein »neuer Faschismus«, stellen aber eine neue Ära von Aufruhr und Ordnungszerfall in Aussicht.

Studies in Private International Law - Asia

This book discusses private international law rules relevant to environmental disputes in Asia that involve corporations, surveys 12 Asian jurisdictions, and proposes areas for reform. The volume is split into two sections. The first of these is dedicated to framing and discussing specific issues, such as the liability of corporations, directors and investors for environmental wrongdoing, or the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements and awards on environmental disputes - and how domestic rules may affect private international law. The second section outlines the rules of select Asian jurisdictions that are relevant to environmental disputes involving corporations, and suggests areas for reform. Jurisdictions covered include China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Jurisdiction-specific chapters outline the private international law rules of select Asian jurisdictions that are relevant to environmental disputes involving corporations, and suggest areas for reform. Jurisdictions include: Indonesia; Thailand; Singapore; Malaysia; Philippines; Vietnam; China; Hong Kong; Taiwan; India; Japan and South Korea.

Environment, Corporations, and Private International Law in Asia

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the Brazilian coffee economy since 1960, one of the most significant yet understudied developments in modern economic history. Moving beyond classic accounts of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century plantation expansion, it traces how Brazil responded to crises through state intervention, technological innovation and institutional reform. Drawing on economic history, development economics and agricultural studies, the authors examine how mechanization, scientific research, crop diversification and shifting regional production patterns reshaped the sector and enabled Brazil to maintain its position as the world’s leading coffee producer.Situating Brazilian coffee within global commodity chains and changing patterns of consumption, the book explores the transition from a state-controlled system to a competitive, market-oriented agribusiness embedded in global trade networks. It also highlights the emergence of new production frontiers and value-added industries, including roasting and soluble coffee. By combining regional analysis with a broader political economy perspective, this study provides a vital contribution to debates on agricultural modernization, export-led development and globalization in Latin America. It will be valuable reading for scholars in economic history, Latin American studies, agricultural economics and global development.&nbsp;Herbert S. Klein

Contemporary Studies in Corporate Law

Many attempts have been made to reduce the harms caused by business and to make companies become socially responsible. This book approaches the subject from a new perspective arguing that reflexive law offers the best means to align the interests of large companies with those of society and that recent developments in European company law fit a reflexive model. A reflexive company law, rather than trying to directly regulate companies, aims to affect internal decision-making processes to make companies responsive to outside interests and prevent them from operating as closed systems singularly focused on shareholder value. In this vein, the EU has recently imposed new obligations on companies to develop corporate sustainability reporting and due diligence processes as part of its objective to create a climate-neutral and sustainable economy. This book presents an argument for how the 'societal company' - a company that has an internal culture of transnational responsibility to do no harm but that retains the autonomy necessary to be economically productive - can be established through reflexive law. The book will appeal to researchers, policy makers and lawyers interested in corporate sustainability, regulatory theory, company law and EU law.
