This book project, arising from the Second Bucerius Conference on International Investment Law &amp; Arbitration (BCILA), aims to explore diverse methodological approaches to address challenges in investment law and arbitration.Featuring the work of emerging scholars and practitioners in the field, the book bridges the gap between academic analysis and legal practice in the field of investment arbitration. As a central pillar of international economic law, investment arbitration is extensively utilized worldwide. The book discusses the challenges of managing progressively intricate proceedings whilst investment arbitration undergoes intense public scrutiny amid fervent political discourse. It tackles investment arbitration's constant evolution and provides possible solutions in navigating this evolution.With both academic and practical applications, this book will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners in international investment arbitration, public international and finance law.

Contributions to Economics

Bridging theory and empirical analysis,&nbsp;this book offers a comprehensive and data-driven exploration of urban-rural labour markets across advanced economies, shedding light on their structure, efficiency, and evolving dynamics.&nbsp;Through an extensive literature review and comparative statistical analysis, the book examines key indicators such as labour force participation, unemployment, productivity, and wages. It highlights regional disparities and convergence trends in advanced economies, while emphasizing the critical role of entrepreneurship in balancing labour supply and demand—exploring both Schumpeterian innovation and necessity-driven enterprise.A standout feature is a unique empirical study using Eurofound data, which investigates whether living in rural areas increases the likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur—offering valuable insights into the potential for rural-urban convergence.Concluding with forward-looking reflections and directions for future research, this volume is essential reading for scholars and students in economics, geography, sociology, and planning. It also serves as a vital resource for policymakers, regional planners, and practitioners engaged in shaping the future of spatial labour markets.

Elements in Reinventing Capitalism

Global capitalism is being reshaped by two major trends. States have become increasingly interventionist, reshaping their economies in response to crises and geopolitical tensions. Secondly, digital platform giants have emerged from the US and China that concentrate political economic power in private hands. This Element argues that these trends are increasingly symbiotic. Digital platforms are being folded into the spiralling rivalry between the US and China. As states tap into their extraterritorial governance capacities by exerting control over platforms, platform firms leverage state support to pursue and expand their internationalization strategies. Therefore, the US-China rivalry is increasingly being fought at the level of the technology stack, a dynamic the authors call state platform capitalism. The Element examines four fields in which this novel regime of competition is at play: digital currencies, technical standards, cyber security, and smart cities. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

State Platform Capitalism

An authoritative and cutting-edge exploration of how land, transportation, and economic forces shape cities, regions, and the distribution of economic activities from a local to a global scale. Land, by its very nature, is immobile and unproduced, creating competition for prime locations that drives disparities in economic outcomes. Transportation, meanwhile, serves as the mechanism for overcoming spatial frictions but imposes costs that influence where firms and individuals choose to locate. Together, these factors explain the emergence and persistence of cities, regional disparities, and even global patterns of economic concentration. In Spatial Economics, Hans R.A. Koster, Stef Proost, and Jacques-François Thisse explore how cities, regions, and the global economy are shaped by the interplay between location, land use, and transportation. The authors examine why economic activities are clustered in large metropolitan areas and dispersed in vast areas, driven by the balance between the gains from concentration and various congestion and pollution costs. Blending classical theories with modern data and modeling approaches, the book addresses urbanization, spatial inequality, and the effects of policies like infrastructure investments and land regulations. Accessible yet rigorous, it offers valuable insights for understanding the geographic organization of economic activity in today's interconnected world.

Spatial Economics

This book advances growth theory with heterogenous households (such as gender, professions, classes, races) by integrating various theories of modern economics into a comprehensive analytical framework. Classification of households into different groups is based on behavioral characters (such as propensities to save, to enjoy leisure, to have children), economic conditions, social status, or other identities (such as ethnicity). It is composed of many models — each emphasizing interactions between households, and some economic, technological, human capital, knowledge, institutional, environmental, or structural variables. Each model can be mathematically integrated with any other model in the book. The book also provides a computational procedure for simulation so that anyone can see dynamics of the system with computers.
&nbsp;
As part of the author's general economic theory, the book focuses on constructing a theory to explain complexity of behavioral dynamics of different people in a single analytical framework with minimum assumptions. It constructs a theoretical framework on the basis of a few concepts that would permit valid generalizations from one special modelling structure to another and would deepen understanding of the complexity of political, social, and economic dynamics in a systematic manner.

A Dynamic Economic Theory of Heterogenous Households

This book provides unique insight into the challenges and opportunities of structural transformation and economic development in Africa. It highlights the vital role played by enterprise, in particular the participation of women in this process, and the importance of supply chains and global value chains. Detailed case studies from across Africa show the range and variety of economic issues faced within the continent. A particular focus is given to infrastructure development, food security, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, currency crises, entrepreneurship in Africa, microfinance, the circular economy, and corporate social responsibility.
This book offers an applied and policy relevant guide to the structural transformation of African economies at national and local levels. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in development economics, global supply chains, and international trade.

The Urban Book Series

Disrupting traditional notions of urban and city planning, this volume examines the intricate interplay of conflicts, the emergence of new borders for refugees and migrants, colonial legacies and postcolonial policies, and grassroots struggles for better social policies. As the second volume complementing 
 Border Urbanism: Transdisciplinary Perspectives
 (2023), 
 Urbanism at Borders: Navigating New Frontiers in a Globalized World
 presents a comprehensive exploration of the evolving urban fabric, highlighting 32 of the most compelling, under-explored themes presented at the second Urbanism at Borders Global conference, convened in 2019 in Malaga, Spain. These chapters scrutinize various aspects of border trends to better understand how spatial justice, urban form and the lives of marginalized and common citizens are affected by borders.
 Authors in this volume examine the perception, interpretation, and nature of borders, shedding light on their transformative influence on historical, cultural, and socioeconomic interests. The book focuses on how urban border conditions determine the mobility of goods, resources, and populations, defining interactions and relationships that extend from geopolitical relations to the intricacies of everyday life. Temporal issues arising from diverse urban conditions are addressed, with each chapter contributing to a critical discourse on border urbanism and the nuanced interplay between conflict and coexistence resulting from the delineation, separation, and segregation imposed by borders. This volume goes beyond conventional discourses on borders, exploring often overlooked or hereto-thought unrelated dimensions such as tourism and housing. By broadening the narrative to encompass these critical aspects, this volume enhances understandings of and proposes solutions to contemporary challenges, recognizing that borders–and their effects–manifest at different scales and in different ways.

Rethinking Asia and International Relations

East Asia is shaped as much by identity-based dynamics as by material forces. This book examines how the evolving state identities of China and Japan have interacted with the regional order and its prospects for both cooperation and conflict.While identity-based dynamics have long been recognised as enduring features by observers of East Asia, conventional accounts often emphasise the absence of a shared identity, persistent historical grievances, and nationalism-fuelled territorial disputes-particularly between China and Japan-as key obstacles to regional cooperation. This volume instead offers a state identity politics approach that moves beyond viewing the 'ghosts of the past' as fixed constraints. It focuses on how domestic actors in both countries construct and mobilise state identities, how domestic politics interact with international relations, and how these identities shape regional order. Through analysis of China's and Japan's evolving approaches to key post-Cold War regional initiatives, the author demonstrates why state identity politics is vital to understanding Sino-Japanese relations and broader regional dynamics in East Asia.This book will be of interest to scholars and students of East Asian politics, Sino-Japanese relations, diplomatic studies, and domestic-international interactions, as well as policymakers engaged in these fields.
