Crises, Inquiries and the Politics of Blame

&lt;div&gt;Chapter 1. Introduction.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 2. Framing and blaming.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 3. Inquiries following crises.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 4. Three festivals gone wrong.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 5. Towards a better understanding of blame games.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

"This is a big book, with big themes and an author with the necessary experience to back them up." - Law Quarterly Review (review of the 1st edition) Volume 1 of this new edition covers the roots and foundations of private law, the different origins, structure, and orientation of civil and common law, and the social and cultural forces behind it. It analyses the practical needs and market forces behind the emergence of a new transnational commercial and financial legal order, its international finance-driven impulses, concepts, and operation; the theoretical basis of the transnationalisation of the law in the professional sphere in that order; and the autonomous sources of the new law merchant or modern lex mercatoria derived from the method of public international law, as well as its relationship to domestic and transnational public policy and public order requirements. This magisterial work is made up of 6 volumes. Used independently, each volume allows the reader to delve into a particular topic. Alternatively, all volumes can be read together for a comprehensive overview of transnational comparative commercial, financial and trade law.

Studies in National Governance and Emerging Technologies

This book investigates the internal dynamics and mechanisms that shaped one of the European Union’s most ambitious and far-reaching pieces of digital legislation: the Data Act. While the importance of data to the economy and society has been widely acknowledged, the policy processes behind data legislation remain underexplored. This study closes that gap by applying the Multiple Streams Approach to understand how the Data Act progressed from a largely absent issue to a legislative priority, and how it was rapidly adopted despite its complexity and scope.

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.

Garments and Growth

Public Sector Organizations

This book explores how public appointments are shaped by political and administrative factors, and their impact on governance, state capacity, and democratic legitimacy across Latin America.
Through comparative analyses and case studies from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru, it investigates the complex interplay between political interests and meritocratic principles. The book examines how politicized appointments impact institutional performance, corruption, and societal inequality, shedding light on strategic calculations behind cabinet formation, bureaucratic recruitment, and professionalization efforts. By dissecting the tensions between politics and bureaucratic expertise, it also highlights the challenges of politicization and the possibilities of professionalization and merit-based reforms.
Rich with nuanced insights, the book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners aiming to understand and enhance public sector governance, institutional reform, and democratic stability in Latin America and beyond.

The Politics of Public Appointments in Latin America

“The go-to guy on minimum wage” (Nobel Laureate and New York Times bestselling author Paul Krugman) tackles one of the thorniest social issues of our times—income inequality—from a new vantage point with field-leading economics. How did the labor market stop working for so many in the workforce? Why did wages at the bottom and in the middle of the pay scale fail to keep up with a growing economy that delivered over 70 percent productivity gains and soaring incomes for those at the top? What caused this divergence, and what can we do about it now? The Wage Standard is a deep dive into these very questions—questions Arin Dube has explored in over two decades of influential research. Painting a new picture with data, Dube shows us how wages for most workers became painfully frozen. But also, he argues, this fate was not inevitable, and more importantly, that it can be reversed. The Wage Standard lays bare how the labor market really works, revealing levers to pull to shift course: to reshape corporate decisions, rethink policy priorities, and rebalance economic power and social norms to better protect the typical worker. These are the keys to unlocking broad-based prosperity. Dube delivers a hopeful message. First, chances are, you deserve a raise. And second, it’s not necessary to fix the broken politics of Washington, DC, in order to get one. Political will, public engagement, and persistence can set a new standard to reset the labor market and improve the lives of American workers starting today. In fact, signs of progress are already offering a glimpse of what a fairer economy can and will look like.

The Wage Standard

An eye-opening account of how the data-center boom is pushing our planet past its breaking point Underlying our seamless access to AI, cryptocurrency, and unlimited cloud storage is a hulking, costly physical infrastructure. Massive data centers full of energy-hungry chips and processors power everything we do online. Scrambling to meet dubious market demand, the tech giants have made our planet a bargaining chip in the next great race for a market monopoly. In Hyperscale, journalist Paris Marx uncovers the excesses of hyperscale data processing. He exposes the deceptive, exploitative ways tech companies are syphoning energy and resources from vulnerable communities in their pursuit of digital power, abandoning the pretense of social responsibility. Amid energy shortages and tech-induced battles over drinking water, Marx makes a powerful case for technology that promotes the social good over the bottom lines of tech billionaires. He joins the incredible efforts of people and social movements pushing back against the profit-driven interests of Big Tech, illuminating a path toward the sustainable future we all deserve. The AI boom and its infrastructural demands have accelerated our many modern catastrophes. With razor-sharp reporting and incisive analysis, Marx shows us that the greatest threat is not the specter of AI overlords but a global environmental disaster already in the making.

Hyperscale

This book assembles critical contributions on the work of TRS Allan, the Professor Emeritus of Jurisprudence and Public Law at the University of Cambridge, whose leading work in legal and constitutional theory spans almost 45 years. Allan has charted a distinctive path for legal, political, and moral theory and practice and has become a highly significant figure in the UK and in common law/parliamentary systems around the world. His ideas challenge established opinions about constitutional law within these systems as well as established views about the rule of law from more abstract or philosophical perspectives. Allan claims that law and morality find an inherent connection through the rule of law. He argues that there is a connection that flourishes in common law jurisdictions because although Parliament has sovereign legislative powers, its laws gain their full legal meaning only through an interpretive lens. This lens seeks to reconcile sovereign will with legality's basic moral ideals, especially the idea that law must be general and capable of guiding behaviour and thus respectful of the equality and dignity of its subjects. Allan's scholarship is powerful yet controversial, and it has inspired 20 leading scholars from the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to engage with the central themes of his work. By doing so, the contributors help to make that work accessible to a new generation of scholars and students. They also provide a timely framework for engaging in the most important challenges facing our democracies today: how our legal systems do, or do not, honour and respect democracy and therefore legislative sovereignty while at the same time honouring and respecting the rule of law, or the 'Promise of Legality'.

A new history of the idea of Europe from Ancient Greece to the present 'A magisterial history, written with great panache, that is both enlightening and deeply readable. A true tour de force - Peter Frankopan What do we talk about when we talk about Europe? Is it defined by geography? Or is it politics, or shared culture? In Europe, award-winning historian Roderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before - as the history of an idea, and a collective identity. Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, 'Europe' has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe's major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present. Throughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves. Grappling with the multilayered identities that have always come with being European, Europe places the Europe of today in a long arc of history stretching back more than 2,500 years.

A New History

This book develops an understanding of how the public-private distinction operates in judicial review and freedom of information laws in England and India, and examines how the distinction may affect public law accountability for Public-Private Partnerships. Drawing on experiences from England, it examines some of the public law concerns that arise from the participation of the private sector in the provision of public sector services. The comparative approach sheds light not just on the similarities but also on some important differences in the working of the public-private distinction across the two mechanisms of judicial review and freedom of information laws, and across the two jurisdictions. Since differences in drawing those distinctions may lead to different outcomes for the amenability of entities to public law, the research undertaken in this book is helpful not only in expounding, but also predicting the working of the public-private distinction. Scholarship on administrative law from the Global South has hitherto been limited, and this comparative study presents a valuable contribution towards addressing this gap. The book will be of interest to practitioners, academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Administrative Law and Comparative Law.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.
