'Michael Auerbach has one of the most original minds I've ever encountered . . . This is a dazzling and entertaining book . . . But it is also an urgent warning' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of Empire of Pain A brilliant exploration of the phenomenon of prediction markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? Prediction markets are sweeping the world, fundamentally changing the nature of gambling - and the very ways in which we attempt to divine the future. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction markets allow any difference of opinion - whether on pop culture or politics, wars or assassinations - to be financialised. A regulatory minefield with moral implications that divide nations, governments and bettors, they have proved as effective at accurately predicting the timing of missile strikes as they have at calling the outcomes of elections.But are these markets really a new phenomenon? And what does it mean when those tasked with safeguarding democracy hold financial stakes in its volatility?From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through nineteenth-century London's wartime coffee house gossip, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange and blockchain-based betting on Polymarket today, The Big Bet tells the gripping five-hundred-year story of a permissive regime that no one designed and no one voted for.Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future where democracy becomes just another commodity to be priced and traded. Because prediction markets are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world where everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Prediction Markets and the Future of Democracy

The Big Bet

Perspectives on Global Affairs

With more than 180 million migrants worldwide, roughly 2.3 percent of the global population, migration is a global phenomenon, characterized by cross-border movements that are strikingly varied. This book discusses the current state of migration as a question of governance rather than crisis, examining contemporary migration movements within the legal, political, and economic structures that shape who may move, and why. The book focuses on Latin America, a region shaped by long histories of mobility, and the immigration policy frameworks of the United States, the European Union, and Latin America and the Caribbeans, tracing how different institutional architectures face similar migratory pressures but obtain markedly different outcomes. Ultimately, the book argues that migration functions as a governance barometer, by introducing the concept of policy elasticity, and exploring the limitations of existing “one-size-fits-all” approaches.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of cybersecurity governance and policymaking in the European Union. It considers how cybersecurity policy is implemented by policymakers and public administrators at EU and member-state level, the strengths and weaknesses of EU cybersecurity policy, and how the EU's approach to cybersecurity is distinct from other global actors. In doing so, the book not only advances our understanding of the EU’s cybersecurity governance but also provides a framework for evaluating its relevance and adaptability in a rapidly changing global landscape. It will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, cybersecurity, and EU governance, as well as practitioners.Francesco Amoretti

Defending a Digital Society

Cybersecurity Policy in the European Union

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

Big Labor's Big Shift

This open access book explores the political utility and consequences of memory laws with a focus on how militant memory laws frame, underpin and generate international conflicts. Proceeding from Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, this examination plots how memory laws have preceded, partially led to, and encouraged the outbreak of the war itself via Russian propaganda. It also offers a broader perspective looking at developments in the Baltic States, Belarus, Finland, Germany, Hungary, and Poland, as well as in European (Council of Europe and European Union) law. Bringing together scholars with diverse perspectives, this book provides both analysis and conceptual reflection for scholars assessing the politics of memory laws. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open Access was funded by the University of Copenhagen.

The Politics of Memory Laws

Routledge Handbooks in Law

This book provides a comprehensive examination of the foundations, evolution, and future of international refugee law, focusing on the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol. It explores pressing contemporary challenges such as climate-induced displacement, LGBTQ+ and religion-based asylum claims, digitalisation, regional refugee protection regimes, and the lived experiences of displaced communities across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and beyond. The volume features insights from leading and emerging scholars and practitioners across law, political science, and related disciplines, presenting an interdisciplinary approach that combines doctrinal analysis with a timely, fresh, and authoritative assessment of the changing landscape of refugee protection.Designed for students, academics, researchers, legal practitioners, and humanitarian professionals, this collection provides rigorous analysis of legal principles alongside regional case studies-including the Rohingya in Bangladesh, Afghan and Syrian refugees in the United Kingdom, Ukrainians in Poland, and Venezuelans across Latin America and the Caribbean. This approach bridges the gap between legal doctrine and practice. Critically evaluating the strengths and limitations of the existing international refugee law framework, it equips readers with the knowledge and analytical tools needed to contribute to more effective and inclusive refugee protection regimes.

'Deeply researched and original' RUBY TANDOH, author of All Consuming 'Stunningly profound and politically rousing' SOPHIE LEWIS, author of Abolish the Family 'What a treat to be so compelled to turn the page' LOTTIE HAZELL, author of Piglet 'Witty, unsparing, surprising and rich' ALICIA KENNEDY, author of No Meat RequiredIf you are what you eat, what does that make you? Virtuous, cool, immortal? Or deviant, pitiful, ill? Is it useful to make these judgements? Do they help us improve our lives?In a world where it feels as though the value of your life can be gauged by the goodness in your dinner, it is possible, even easy, to lose the will to live. This became particularly obvious to writer Amber Husain when suddenly, despite almost thirty years of practice, it seemed she had forgotten how to eat.Medical wisdom tries fix the problem non-eater by teaching them the rules of Good Diet. But what if the problem is precisely the narrowing of life to questions of personal goodness? Suspecting there might be more to her stand-off with food than matters of identity and diet, Husain embarked on an enquiry into the special role of eating in our relationship with the world.Combining a personal account of modern eating-disorder treatments, from the disturbing to the sublime, with a sprawling collective history of eating in hard times, Tell Me How You Eat unearths the astonishing effect of how we feed ourselves and others, not just on who we are, but on how we perceive our own political power. In doing so, it marks a bold and inspiring confrontation with our very understanding of food.

Meditations on Food and Power

Tell Me How You Eat

This book examines how artificial intelligence systems and their applications in security and defence are entangled with governance and policy processes in the EU. Combining concepts and insights from (critical) security studies and science and technology studies, it argues that behind the various AI-related policy initiatives in the EU are particular narratives on security and defence based on European fears of technological innovation and strategic gaps. In this respect, the book casts light on how such beliefs have become increasingly instrumentalized in the European governance dynamics, and subsequently embedded in successive policy initiatives and security and defence research programmes. It challenges conventional understandings of AI technologies as mere security and defence-enabling instruments, by providing a conceptually driven analysis of how certain visions of AI help govern and control one of the most dynamic emergent socio-technical fields. The book will appeal to all those interested in artificial intelligence, security studies, technology and European governance.&nbsp;

Artificial Security and the Politics of Hype in the EU

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. The renowned co-author of The Spirit Level shows us the way.'An uplifting vision for solving inequality that benefits everyone' ANDY BURNHAM'Poverty and inequality are at the heart of all our problems. Kate Pickett's book shows how tackling them must be at the heart of our solutions too' ZACK POLANSKI'Just what these times are crying out for' KATE RAWORTHHow do we ensure that everyone has good health and receives the care they need? How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all?In this inspiring book, world-leading social scientist Kate Pickett shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well, and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health, care, education and rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most. Drawing on decades of proven solutions and success stories from around the globe, The Good Society cuts to the essence of the challenges we face and presents us with a practical, perspective-shifting vision for how to tackle them.'Genuinely transformative. A powerful and deeply humane vision that focuses on what really matters' DANIEL CHANDLER'Daringly optimistic' FINANCIAL TIMES'Electrifying' POLLY MORLAND'Vital ... shines a light for hope' INDEPENDENT

Governance and Public Management

The Shadow State at the Municipal Level

Democratic Accountability and the Ethics of Outsourced Governance

This handbook provides the first comparative account of the people who govern from the heart of the executive branch: executive politicians, advisers, and senior bureaucrats, together understood as the ‘Executive Triangle’ of modern political systems.
 
 Utilising a unique dataset of over 7,000 individual career profiles from more than 700 executive institutions, including ministries, prime ministerial, presidential and government offices, across 34 political systems worldwide, it explores patterns of elite recruitment, gender representation, educational attainment and expertise, career advancement, and politicisation within the executive triangle. In doing so, the book sheds light on several important themes, including gender distribution in politico-administrative elite positions, the competence and expertise of executive elites, their career trajectories, and how politicised they are. These questions are especially pressing in an age of complex ‘polycrisis’ and a global trend of democratic recession that demands responsive, resilient and effective executive leadership.
 
 The book will serve as an authoritative guide for scholars and students of public administration and comparative politics, as well as a valuable resource for practitioners and policymakers.
