Asian Yearbook of International Economic Law

Asian Yearbook of International Economic
Law 2024

Asian Yearbook of International Economic Law 2024

This book presents a fresh perspective on how bilateral relations are shaped not only by national-level diplomacy but by the interplay of various governance levels-including municipal, regional, national, and supranational actors. Through this approach, the book highlights the nuanced and multi-layered nature of diplomacy in the modern era, moving beyond the traditional state-centric model and bringing attention to the significance of subnational and non-state actors in shaping global relationships. &nbsp;This book goes further by exploring &nbsp;how German federal states (Bundesländer) and cities engage directly with their Chinese counterparts, examining the nature of these interactions also within the broader context of European Union integration. These interactions are not limited to economic partnerships but extend into cultural and academic cooperation, showcasing the depth and diversity of German policy towards China. &nbsp;Joanna Ciesielska-Klikowska is a political scientist and assistant professor at the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Lodz, Poland. &nbsp;

A Multi-level Governance Approach

Unpacking the Complexity of German Policy towards China

This book considers the derivative action, an important corporate governance tool which is commonly considered to serve two basic functions, i.e., enabling shareholders to gain redress for a wrong done to their company and deterring potential breaches of directors' fiduciary duties. This book critically examines the derivative action from theoretical, evolutionary, and comparative perspectives. It considers how controversial issues such as locus standi, demand requirements, indemnity cost orders, information asymmetry and res judicata are approached in selected civil law countries as well as throughout the Commonwealth. The book also assesses whether derivative litigation could fulfill a similar role in China, which is one of the most rapidly developing economies in the world, yet lacks adequate corporate governance mechanisms. The ultimate aim discussed in the book is how to establish a remedial mechanism which makes derivative actions more accessible and consistent, while maintaining the balance between corporate efficiency and protecting minority shareholders' interests. Lastly, based on different approaches in the latest reforming infrastructure, it explores whether there is a general converging trend for derivative actions between the two major legal systems.

Die brennenden Reiche

"Der Beginn einer epischen Fantasy-Trilogie, die in einer von indischer Geschichte und Romanzen inspirierten Welt spielt, in der eine gefangene Prinzessin und eine Magd, die im Besitz verbotener Magie ist, zu Verbündeten werden. Die sapphische Romanze und Booktok-Sensation!

Die eine ist eine rachsüchtige Prinzessin, die ihren Bruder vom Thron stürzen will.
Die andere eine Priesterin auf der Suche nach ihrer Familie.
Gemeinsam werden sie das Schicksal eines ganzen Reiches verändern!

Prinzessin Malini, von ihrem despotischen Bruder ins Exil geschickt, verbringt ihre Tage damit, von Rache zu träumen, während sie im Hirana eingesperrt ist, einem uralten Felsentempel, der einst als Quelle des magischen todeslosen Wassers verehrt wurde, doch inzwischen nur noch eine verfallende Ruine ist.
Die Geheimnisse des Hirana sind es, die Priya locken. Aber um die Wahrheit über ihre Vergangenheit zu verbergen, arbeitet sie als Dienerin im Haushalt der verhassten Regentin, beißt sich auf die Zunge und putzt Malinis Gemächer.
Doch als Malini Zeuge von Priyas wahrer Natur wird, werden die Schicksale der beiden unwiderruflich miteinander verwoben ... Und gemeinsam werden sie ein Imperium in Flammen setzen.

Gewinner des World Fantasy Award für den Besten Roman.

Das Oleander-Schwert (Die brennenden Reiche 2) Collector's Edition mit Farbschnitt, Lesebändchen und Mini-Print

Katja Riemann ist seit 20 Jahren in der Welt unterwegs, ist vor Ort, schaut hin. Sie beschreibt die Arbeit von Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen und erzählt von Menschen, die sie bewundert, weil sie etwas bewegen. Katja Riemanns Zuversicht macht Hoffnung, ihre Hingabe ist ansteckend, ihr Humor mitreißend. Sie zeigt, dass Veränderung möglich ist. 
 
 Über Jahre hat sie die Arbeit von Molly Melching, der Gründerin von »Tostan« beobachtet, die in senegalesischen Dorfgemeinschaften das Ende der Beschneidung von Mädchen herbeiführt. An der Seite von Friedensnobelpreisträger Dr. Denis Mukwege und dem Arzt und Aktivisten Dr. Kasereka Lusi hat sie sich ein Bild machen können über den Einsatz der Vergewaltigung als Kriegsinstrument im Ostkongo. »Drogen kann man nur einmal verkaufen, Menschen mehrmals«, berichtet sie aus Nepal, wo die Töchter der Familien der unteren Kaste als Dienstmädchen von Menschenhändlern nach Katmandu geholt werden. Und schließlich findet Katja Riemann ihre eigene Geschichte im Libanon, wo ihr Vater lange gelebt und unterrichtet hat.

Africa's Global Engagement: Perspectives from Emerging Countries

This volume brings together a number of scholars globally - from Africa and Asia to the Americas and Europe - to examine Africa’s global engagements. It approaches its subject matter theoretically and conceptually as well as empirically asking deeper questions like what is the ideal unit for cooperation and engagement? Is it the state or can one go beyond the state or possibly below the African state and internationalize given the context of the failed African state? Whilst focused very much on the contemporary nature and forms of engagement, the volume recognizes the enduring historical, and especially colonial, legacy on the contemporary African state and how it continues to shape patterns of regional and international cooperation. The book covers its subject matter in two thematic manners. First, it covers the “who” of engagement – Africa-European Relations, Africa-India relations, Africa’s relations with China and Africa’s relations with the Global South. Second, the volume explores the “what” of cooperation. This includes: agriculture and climate change, the digital revolution, energy resources, security considerations and trade. Whilst theoretically anchored, the volume seeks to also examine the implications of the empirical study for policy makers.

Challenges and Opportunities

Africa’s External Engagement

Palgrave Studies in the History of Subcultures and Popular Music

This book breaks new ground by exploring regional scenes beyond London during the years 1965 to 1975.&nbsp; Whilst many accounts of this era have tended to focus on the Capital, John Griffiths journeys beyond its boundaries to assess how far the cultures usually implied to be exclusive to the metropolis in fact diffused into the English counties. The book examines both the ‘swinging period’ of post-1945 history (c. 1965-1967) and the years of the counter-culture c. 1968-1975,&nbsp; examining topics such as the rise of the boutique, alternative cinema, art festivals and art labs, and regional funding for the experimental, before moving on to consider the attitudes of regional newspapers to changes in society. In its latter sections the legacy of 1968 is considered, with specific focus on the rise of Women’s Liberation and Gay Liberation movements. It concludes with an examination of student life on the regional campus.&nbsp; This book argues that, contrary to many accounts that branded them as cultural deserts, the 1960s saw the ‘provinces’ rebranded as ‘regions’ and were increasingly up to speed with London culture.John Griffiths is Senior Lecturer on the History Programme at Massey University, New Zealand. He is the author of several articles that have appeared in internationally recognised journals such as Social History, Journal of Social History, Urban History and Contemporary British History. He is the author of Imperial Culture in Antipodean Cities (Palgrave, 2014) and the four-volume Empire and Popular Culture (2021-2022). He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

Beyond Swinging London

Counter-Cultural Lifestyles in Regional England, 1965-1975

The Steppe and Beyond: Studies on Central Asia

The book is devoted to the problem of the civilizational development of the Kazakhs, as descendants of nomads, at the present stage. The author pays special attention to how the eras of modernity and postmodernity influenced today's Kazakhstan. In this anti-colonial polemic, the author argues in favor of finding the origin of Kazakh nomad culture prior to the colonization of Kazakhstan by imperial Russia; in exploring nomad histories, she seeks to find an alternative path.&nbsp;The book may be of interest to researchers studying the history, politics, sociology, culture of Central Asia and, more broadly, issues of the development of modern civilization.

Nomads: In Search of the Lost Path

Understanding China

This book sorts out the causes, consequences and the evolution path of China's economic reform process from the historical dimension of China's economic policy changes, from which the long-standing contradictions and conflicts between the two different models can be seen throughout the process, i.e. the market economy and the state-dominated economy (Lenin's 'special state capitalism') as well as the potential risks that will be brought by the pause of market and law reform on China's economic and social development. The dispute on the paths exists and will continue, which builds the great complexity and arduousness since China's Reform and Opening-up. This book is written by Chinese economist Jinglian Wu, which helps readers to understand the history and logic behind China's reform and opening-up, as well as the challenges China is facing.

Das Oleander-Schwert (Die brennenden Reiche 2)

We live in a golden age of technological innovation and commercialization, which has enhanced value creation and prosperity and significantly transformed our daily lives from physical to digital. While universities have played a critical role in this transformation, they now see enormous challenges in sustaining the discoveries, inventions, and innovations brought on by rapid technology obsolescence and even faster commercialization driven by transformational digital technologies.&nbsp;Innovation and the 21st-Century Research University examines the limitations of commercializing fast-paced innovation within today's university systems and outlines a way forward for a new generation of foundational institutions to create an end-to-end seamless value chain. The authors share their vision for a new educational, R&amp;D, and incubator ecosystem for the 21st Century that will continue to drive science and technology, research, and innovation for societal good at the local, regional, national, and global scale and offer a new age of digital equity, growth, and prosperity.&nbsp;
The authors, both business and academic leaders with diverse technology industry experience, offer critical insights into the complex and evolving world of innovation, R&amp;D, deep tech, entrepreneurship, and commercializing innovation. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the structural and systemic reforms needed in our education system and their impact on higher education and future generations.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Das "Dschuang Dsï" zählt neben dem "Tao Te-King" zu den bekanntesten Schriften des Taoismus. Wie bereits Laotse widmet sich Dschuang Dsï im gleichnamigen Werk dem Tao, dem unsagbaren großen Ganzen, das die Welt durchfließt und durchleuchtet. Nach einer Einheit mit dem großen Einen strebt der Mensch m Taoismus, wohlwissend um das Dilemma, dass er dies im Streben kaum erreichen kann. Wer aber in das große Unsagbare eingeht, der überwindet die vom eigenen Ich auferlegten Schranken, die mit dem ersten Lebenstag beginnen und im Tod ihren Höhepunkt aufweisen. Das "Dschuang Dsï" bietet dem Leser Einblick in die taoistische Weise, das Leben mit Gelassenheit zu betrachten und die vielen kleinen Alltagskämpfe hinter zu lassen.

Das wahre Buch vom südlichen Blütenland

The Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science

The book provides an empirically rich analysis of Bangladesh’s economic transformation through globalization, with particular focus on the emergence of its globally competitive garment export industry. It emphasizes the crucial role of internal ideational factors within the state, arguing that policy learning—driven by key technocrats and political executives—was central to designing strategies that enabled industrialization and export-led growth.
Challenging conventional narratives that attribute policy reforms primarily to external pressures from international financial institutions, the book highlights how endogenous political agency and state-led planning facilitated the rise of the private sector. The garment sector, in particular, became a catalyst for socio-economic transformation, advancing women's economic participation, enhancing household incomes, and contributing significantly to GDP growth.
Drawing on a political economy approach and the framework of historical institutionalism, the book traces the evolution of policymaking across successive governments. It demonstrates how internal ideas, institutions, and strategic decisions—rather than external imposition—shaped the country’s development path.
This book will be of great interest to policymakers, economists, scholars of international political economy and development studies, policy and business schools, and those focused on the dynamics of export-led growth and industrial transformation in emerging economies.
