Crypto crises examines how the cryptocurrency industry has become a powerful force in global capitalism. Far from the promise of decentralisation, it reveals how crypto is deepening social inequality, fuelling environmental destruction, and reshaping political power. Drawing on extensive research and vivid examples, the book traces the rise of a new class of "crypto-capitalists" - from billionaire investors and mining conglomerates to populist politicians - who are embedding digital assets at the heart of finance and governance. It exposes the hidden networks of influence linking crypto to Wall Street, Big Tech, and the Global South, where exploitation is reframed as innovation. Provocative and timely, the book offers a critical account of how cryptocurrency's dream of liberation became one of the defining engines of twenty-first-century capitalism.

Crypto crises

Examines the discordance among the public over controversial historic monumentsand how it should be addressed, highlighting how iconoclasm is confronted through global heritage management theory.

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the United States and Canada rarely experienced iconoclasm, the premeditated destruction of visual symbols, because of their specific emotional or ideological content in the public square. This is changing. As North Americans continue to reject the tangible and intangible heritage of institutionalized white supremacy, iconoclasm acts are happening with greater frequency. The death of George Floyd in May 2020 hastened the demand by Americans to remove historic monuments; so much so, that protesters took matters into their own hands and pulled down statues of historical figures, not limited to the American Civil War but also associated with European colonialism before the American Revolution and during the reign of Queen Victoria in Canada.&nbsp;

For historic preservationists and conservationists, iconoclasm is now the most consequential issue in the field and will continue to be a matter of contention for the foreseeable future. Motives for enacting iconoclasm can be justified, but what are the consequences for doing so, and how, in turn, will this determine the future of our public spaces in towns and cities? More fundamentally, is the current period of iconoclasm leading us to reconsider the public square as part of the built environment? This book will be the first theory-informed work to examine the discordance among the public over controversial historic monuments in the historic landscape and how it should be addressed. It challenges architects, landscape architects, conservationists, preservationists, elected officials, and the public to reconsider the public square and whether or not civic art that memorializes is still relevant or a practice that can be reimagined. It also considers the after-effects of iconoclasm acts: How should we redesign public civic spaces after we have either destroyed or removed historic monuments? As societal values change in regard to public memorialization, how will heritage practitioners, conservationist technicians, and urban designers grapple with working in the civic realm, which may be considered antiquated but continues to exist in our cities?

The book examines how iconoclasm is confronted through global heritage management theory. During the second half of the twentieth century, UNESCO and the European Union drafted charters to protect historic monuments from acts of war and degradation. The author considers these sets of principles and other international approaches to contested and conflicted heritage in addressing racism-based heritage that is embedded in North American heritage, from theoretical, architectural, and legal perspectives. France, which first experienced iconoclasm during the Revolution, has grappled with iconoclasm throughout its modern history. Revolutionary leader Henri Grégoire even invented a noun for it: "vandalism." Through the creation of an environment removed from a historic object's context-the public museum, the Louvre-France conceived institutional iconoclasm. From the revolutions and cultural upheavals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the calamities of two world wars in the twentieth century, Europeans have developed policy and a legal framework that address iconoclasm. The book intends to examine this legal framework closely. It will inform the direction that the North American heritage field should take in order to accept that heritage changes, and must change, in response to our own needs to acknowledge multiple histories and identities in a diverse society, while simultaneously recognizing that iconoclasm is a part of how a society resolves its emotional responses to its built heritage.

This timely study offers a concise, yet thorough, introduction to the illicit arms trade. The main theme of the book confronts the complex reality, that while it is proper to think of two separate trades in arms--legal and illegal--in practice there is a considerable overlap between the two. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Phythian argues that the lessons of the most important and extensive cases of the last 20 years suggest that a significant element of the illicit trade in arms has in fact been sanctioned at some level of government in the pursuit of broader security or geopolitical ends.

Cultural appropriation is one of the most contested issues of our time - but what does it actually feel like to have your culture taken, repackaged, and sold back to you? In this book, Rina Arya moves beyond familiar debates to place the lived experiences of minoritised communities at the centre of the discussion. Drawing on postcolonial theory, lived religion, cultural studies, and her experiences as a British South Asian, she examines how cultural forms are commodified, transformed, and returned to their communities with renewed authority. Arya argues that the deepest harms of cultural appropriation are not only economic or representational but also psychological, reshaping how people understand their culture and identity. Combining rigorous scholarship with personal testimony, this book challenges readers to rethink who has the authority to define culture - and what is lost when that authority shifts away from the communities from which culture originates.

Refutes contemporary stereotypes about Mexico by sharing first-hand experiences from men who support the feminist movement in their country.The Mexican Feminist Movement responds to the Trumpian generalization that branded Mexican men as rapists, drug dealers, killers, and "bad hombres." Contrary to what Trump has expressed, many Mexican men are deeply concerned about the number of femicides in their country, and they express that concern in varied ways--they debate the issue with family and friends, participate in rallies in support of women's rights, and some have seen their own daughters, sisters, and partners suffer violence and daily harassment. This book offers Mexican men a space to share their lived experiences and everyday praxis in support of ending the violence that Mexican women face in society; it highlights these men's challenges to misogyny, their stand in solidarity with women, and their work toward building more just and equitable relationships at home, at work, and in the public sphere.

The Transformative Power of Creating Community

Flourish

Polycentricity: Studies in Institutional Diversity and Voluntary Governance

Co-production, Institutions, and Governance explores the theory, practice, and transformative potential of co-production across institutional, organizational, and professional contexts. Co-production, broadly understood as the collaborative process whereby citizens, communities, and, in some cases, a variety of public actors jointly design, deliver, and modify goods and services, challenges traditional top-down approaches in both public and private domains. Drawing on diverse social science disciplines, the contributors examine how co-production fosters adaptive, efficient, responsive, and inclusive governance structures. The collection emphasizes both theoretical and applied perspectives, highlighting the ways co-production can enhance private and public value, social learning, and participatory decision-making. Technological, organizational, and institutional shifts over the past decades have increasingly blurred the distinction between producers and users, creating fertile ground for co-production. The case studies and empirical research included in the volume testify the versatility of co-production, from local governance initiatives to large-scale policy interventions, demonstrating its potential to address a variety of complex socio-economic challenges. Additionally, the volume critically examines power dynamics, institutional barriers, and opportunities that lead to co-production, offering practical guidance for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. By integrating interdisciplinary insights with tangible, applied-level experiences, this volume provides a comprehensive account of co-production as both a conceptual framework and a practical tool for fostering collaborative, inclusive, and sustainable governance. It serves as a reference point for all those seeking to understand, implement, and evaluate co-production in diverse socio-economic settings.
