The Story of the Global Economy in One Ship

The New Rules of Power in a Divided World

Statecraft

Economics as Social Theory

Amartya Sen - who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 2003 - is one of the leading economists of his generation. The important new book provides an exposition and assessment of Amartya Sen's socio-economics, both positive and especially normative, including his contributions to welfare economics, ethics and the theory-and-policy approach of 'human development'. The exposition and assessment will include discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts. The book also analyzes Sen's contributions to philosophy, the second field in which Sen has published and held appointments.

@text Amartya Sen - who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Science in 2003 - is one of the leading economists of his generation. He is best known for his deep critique of the liberal and utilitarian inheritances in economics, including the treatment (or neglect) of values and value-judging in public contexts; and his construction of a partial alternative, including entitlements analysis, the capabilities approach and, extending from those two, an integrative development philosophy centered on the direct and instrumental values of freedom and democracy. The important new book provides an exposition and assessment of Amartya Sen’s socio-economics, both positive and especially normative, including his contributions to welfare economics, ethics and the theory-and-policy approach of ‘human development’. The exposition and assessment will include discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts. The book also analyzes Sen's contributions to philosophy, the second field in which Sen has published and held appointments.

The Socioeconomics of Amartya Sen

In the twelfth-century, Pisa was a powerhouse of global trade, a city that stood at the centre of Medieval Europe. But Pisa had a problem. It was running out of coins. In the face of a looming financial crisis, the city's rulers and its moneylenders forged a deal that laid the foundations of the modern state and of present-day banking. In Money and Promises, the distinguished banker and scholar Paolo Zannoni examines the extraordinary relationship between states and banks. He draws upon seven case studies: the republic of twelfth-century Pisa, seventeenth-century Venice, the early years of the Bank of England, Imperial Spain, the Kingdom of Naples, the nascent USA during the American Revolution, and Bolshevik Russia in 1917-21. Spanning a multitude of countries, political systems and historical eras, Zannoni shows that at the heart of our institutions lies an intricate exchange of debt and promises that has shaped the modern world. Featuring pioneering research and original insights, this authoritative yet accessible book explores the vital relationship upon which our financial and political systems still depend.

Handbook of the Economics of Climate Change: Volume 2

As a result of the reverberations of the crisis in credit markets world wide, investors in financial markets and institutions have witnessed mammoth slides in global stock markets, the privatization and state sponsored takeover of financial institutions and, in an effort to restore equilibrium to markets, the temporary ban on the practice of the short selling of shares in certain financial institutions. To that end, the rationale behind this book is to respond to the dynamics of this much changed financial market environment by providing a text that presents a more up-to-date description of financial markets - one that offers more current insight into the behaviour of financial markets and financial sector institutions than is currently represented in available books on the subject. Particular strengths include:An international focus with detailed analysis of financial markets in mainland Europe and Asia, not just the Anglo-Saxon worldAn emphasis on risk management and financial regulationA concentration on behavioural aspects of financial marketsWedding this new approach to all the customary hallmarks of a typical intermediate financial markets and institutions textbook, its overall aim is to help students in degree programmes specializing in Economics and Finance, Banking, Accounting, or Business and Management appreciate the value of financial markets and institutions and to be able to use techniques in an up to date context.

This book responds to the dynamics of the currently much changed financial market environment by providing a text that presents a more up-to-date description of financial markets – one that offers more current insight into the behaviour of financial markets and financial sector institutions than is currently represented in available books on the subject.

The book explores contemporary Chinese society and its future direction based on direct and close scrutiny. Due to its distance and independent cultural development from the West, China has been the subject of an imagined world for many Westerners. However, the visions of Cathay could not justify the shape of Chinese civilisation. Only by contacting the nation and its people directly one can better understand its cultural essence and goals of development.

Routledge Studies in Modern British History

Contemporary life in Britain is dominated by discussion of safety, risk and accidents. This monograph is the first to explore the history of modern safety culture in Britain and the evolution of ideas of accident prevention. It focuses on the railway industry between approximately 1871 (the date of the first specific state intervention in railway employee safety) and 1948 (the date at which the railways were nationalised).

Contemporary life in Britain is dominated by discussion of safety, risk and accidents. This monograph is the first to explore the history of modern safety culture in Britain and the evolution of ideas of accident prevention. It focuses on the railway industry between approximately 1871 (the date of the first specific state intervention in railway employee safety) and 1948 (the date at which the railways were nationalised). This period shows extremely important and far-reaching changes in how people dealt with safety and accident during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The railway industry was one of the first to introduce safety education into Britain. This study charts the shift from state legislative intervention and formal, punitive measures that required railway workers to be safe, to the introduction of an informal, accessible safety education campaign, which tried to persuade workers to act safely. Using visually attractive items - including posters, booklets, leaflets, and films - people were shown what to do and what not to do. How this happened, and the uses to which safety education and accident prevention have been put have not been examined. The book will draw upon and develop relevant insights from business history, labour history the history of occupational health and safety, and medical history. Readers will find particular value in the analysis of ways in which state, unions, managers and workers interacted to produce dominant understandings of safety.

The Birth of Modern Safety

The targeted assassination of Major-General Qasem Soleimani on 3 January 2020 brought into sharp focus the expansion of Iran's irregular warfare capabilities and network of highly capable proxy actors. This network, overseen by the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and its mysterious and charismatic leader, has become a critical actor in shaping the Middle East. 
Painting the General fills a key gap in our knowledge of this phenomenon by exploring the role, image and framing of the Qods Force leader as a newly omnipotent and all conquering Iranian hero who has propped up the Islamic Republic's waning support internally and acted as a potent foreign policy symbol and rallying point externally. 
 
The book explores the multiple dimensions of Hajj Qasem's image, its construction, use and reception among different audiences. Bridging the gap between a traditional political biography and a work of comparative and regional politics, it places Soleimani within multiple frames of resonance, examining how his image and persona have been shaped by himself, by the regime and by outsiders to create a powerful and increasingly essential narrative which, over time, placed Soleimani as a key powerbroker in Iranian and regional politics. 
 
 Based on a newly developed analytical framework and fieldwork in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon the volume draws extensively on Persian and Arabic sources, as well as detailed exploration of the iconography used to frame Soliemani as a new, more secular Iranian hero who has resonance far beyond Iran's borders.

Over the past two decades Iran's irregular warfare capabilities have expanded dramatically with a network of highly capable proxy actors emerging and consolidating. This network, developed by the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was expertly directed by its mysterious and charismatic leader Major-General Qasem Soleimani.

The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein. Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leader - a leader directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, as well as the torture or imprisonment of many more. This was a man whose reasoning was impossible to reduce to a simple explanation, and the CIA and successive presidential administrations failed to grasp critical nuances in his paranoia, resentments and inconsistencies - even when the stakes were incredibly high. Using unpublished and underreported sources, interviews with surviving participants, and Saddam's own transcripts and audio files, The Achilles Trap is a remarkable picture of a dictator who was convinced the world was out to get him and acted accordingly. A work of great historical significance, it is the definitive account of how corruptions of power, lies of diplomacy and vanity - on both sides - led to avoidable errors of statecraft: ones that would enact immeasurable human suffering and forever change our political landscape.

The Achilles Trap

The rising volume of critique and commentary about the green economy is preceding a much-needed, global understanding of the concept: the principal aim of this book, accordingly, is to provide a detailed analysis of the emergence, anatomy and workings of the green economy. It traces the evolution of the contemporary green economy idea, interrogates the motivations of green economy strategies and explores how processes of economic-environmental change can be managed. The book draws on examples from across the Global North and Global South to contribute a more diverse understanding of the green economy, and provide useful case study material for students on a wide range of courses.

The ‘green economy’ has emerged in recent years as a ‘new’ concept in economic thinking and has quickly become embedded in mainstream policy and financial discourses. The idea of a green economy has been celebrated by those who see it as a welcome change to the organisation of global and national economies that will result in more ecologically sensitive modes of production and consumption. At the same time, the concept has been subjected to intense critique from several quarters, such as green NGOs and activists as another iteration of ‘business as usual’ or as a mask for capitalism’s continuing and worsening impacts on the environment. But this rush to either praise or condemn the concept, seems to have got ahead of developing a thorough understanding of what the green economy actually is in terms of its rationales, actors, modes, areas and sectors of operation. However, this rising volume of critique and commentary are preceding a much-needed, global understanding of the phenomenon of the green economy. Only then can we really begin to make informed assessments of its strengths, weaknesses and challenges. This book traces the evolution and emergence of the contemporary green economy idea, interrogates the motivations of green economy strategies and explores how processes of economic-environmental change can be managed. The book also provides a global overview of the green economy, drawing on examples from across the Global North and Global South. As much writing on the green economy has, to date, focused almost exclusively on Europe and North America, the book contributes a more diverse understanding of the green economy, and provides useful case study material for students on a wide range of courses.
