Queer Fashion and Masculinities in India

Scent, Power, and Empire

The Lost History of Perfume

Charlotte Brontë's Life Through Clothes

Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

This book develops an evolutionary economics approach to welfare state dynamics. Welfare states are complex settings, including social insurance, social assistance, and universal provisions. Their main aim is to shelter household incomes from instability and redistribute incomes. This book analyses welfare states in terms of how they pool business cycle uncertainty between the state (social security), firms, and households. The evolutionary and institutional analysis of welfare states, focusing, in particular, on labor market segmentation and national¿level policy design, is applied to two particular cases: a Southern European country (Portugal) and a deep¿rooted European welfare state (France). These two countries have introduced similar social protection reforms and experienced similar crises, yet the two welfare states are very different. This book explores and explains why that should be the case. It will be of interest to researchers and students of institutional evolutionary economics, welfare states, and European politics.

An Evolutionary Economics Perspective

Welfare States after the Eurozone Crisis

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

Data Power, Digital Empires and the Future of Capitalism

The Rise of Datalism

Should we give up privacy to fight disease, for national security, or to help train AI systems? Recent crises, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from Gaza and Afghanistan to the seemingly unstoppable rise of AI, have put privacy under severe pressure. Privacy in Crisis argues the opposite: these crises show that privacy needs to be protected even more. Privacy in Crisis looks at vital current issues: at political manipulation and misinformation, government surveillance, racial tension, hybrid and cyberwarfare (and real wars, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza), the overwhelming power of the internet giants, and surveillance society, and how interference with privacy is key in all of them. It shows how specific crises bring many of these issues together in perfect storms of privacy invasion. The different threats to our privacy revealed by these crises tell parallel stories and are inextricably linked. There are common themes and common technologies - the threats involve the same data, the same profiling systems and the same approaches. In many cases the systems are run or owned by the same small set of companies, controlled by the same few people. Addressing them is difficult but possible - this essential book outlines how.

Law and Policy in Times of Extremism, Pandemics, and War

Privacy in Crisis

Conceived as a solution to the structural inefficiencies of India's fragmented indirect tax system, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) marked a decisive shift towards a unified, destination-based tax regime. However, its journey--from conception to implementation--has been neither linear nor straightforward, involving years of complex negotiations, institutional innovation, and the careful balancing of fiscal powers between the Union and state governments. The Indian GST offers a comprehensive account of the evolution and performance of the GST in India, serving both as an institutional chronicle and a policy blueprint. Drawing on Dwivedi's extensive first-hand experience, it offers a rare insider's view of the institutional dynamics, political negotiations, and administrative challenges underlying the design and implementation of India's GST. The book examines the Indian GST model within a comparative federal framework, drawing on the experiences of countries such as Canada, Australia, and Brazil. It provides a detailed evaluation of the performance of the GST and empirically analyses its impact on private investment in India. The Indian GST thus paves the way for the next phase of GST reforms, highlighting how crucial these reforms are to realizing the full potential of the GST and maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of India's tax system.

Reflecting on the Past, Shaping the Future

The Indian GST

A revealing biography featuring an exclusive first interview with the new Pope Leo XIV, written by one of the world's most respected Vatican correspondents Who is Robert Prevost, the man who is now Leo XIV? What personal traits led him to be chosen as pontiff at a time when the Catholic Church was debating whether to continue the legacy of Francis I or roll back the reforms advanced by him? How did he rise as pope in an overwhelmingly majority vote and what could it mean? Elise Ann Allen, correspondent in Rome for Crux, the prestigious website specialising in Vatican news, outlines a detailed and intimate profile of the new pope. From his childhood in Chicago and his early vocation as an Augustinian to his years as a missionary in Peru and his key role in the Vatican as head of the bishops, Allen reveals the experiences that forged his character and established him as a spiritual leader and citizen of the world. Including the first interview that Leo XIV officially granted as pope, this biography is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the new pope, his priorities, convictions and vision for the future of the Church.

Routledge Studies in Asian Diasporas, Migrations and Mobilities

This book explores how low-wage labour migration policies in seven Asian economies affect millions of migrant workers. It identifies two contrasting regulatory approaches that bookend a governance spectrum, offering an original theoretical framework for understanding which policies heighten workers' vulnerability to exploitation and which improve their chances of success.The book argues that the regulatory choice to either invest in and manage, or privatise and outsource, key labour migration governance functions has a material impact on outcomes for workers. Specifically, the data demonstrate that migrant workers in destination economies in Asia that take a government-managed approach pay lower recruitment costs, enjoy greater labour market mobility and earn higher wages as they benefit from greater labour law protections. Conversely, migrant workers in employer-managed regimes pay higher recruitment costs, have more limited labour market mobility, earn less and are more vulnerable to mistreatment at the hands of their employers. In addition to a thorough regional analysis, the book presents three case studies that examine the employer-managed approach followed by Singapore since the 1970s, the government-managed approach adopted by South Korea in 2004, and the government-managed approach pursued in Thailand including through legislative reforms implemented in 2017, and outcomes for low-wage migrant workers in all three countries. The final chapter argues that apex court judgments from these three countries reflect and reinforce their government's approach to low-wage labour migration governance.Identifying urgently needed reforms that would materially improve outcomes for millions of low-wage migrant workers in Asia and beyond, this book will be of interest to lawmakers, migrant worker advocates and researchers of Asian migration, labour migration, labour law and socio-legal studies.

Low-wage Labour Migration Regimes in Asia

'Richly-layered and packed with insight, this riveting account of terrible events tells us as much about the present as it does the past' Patrick Bishop, author of Paris '44 From Peter the Great to Putin, a biography of the city Hitler tried - and failed - to wipe off the map The siege of Saint Petersburg - then known as Leningrad - stands as a testament to human endurance. Intended by the Nazis as civilian extermination, the numbers who perished in this 900-day ordeal almost outweighed the entire total of British and American troop deaths in the Second World War. The city's 2.5 million residents began to starve as rations shrank and dwindled. As temperatures plunged to minus 43°C, electricity faltered, and fuel ran out. Yet, amid this suffering, the resilience of culture and hope shone through, with orchestras and theatres defiantly continuing their performances, a flicker of humanity against the backdrop of despair. In Saint Petersburg, bestselling historian Sinclair McKay book chronicles the horrors of the siege through immersive prose and gripping first-hand accounts. He also traces the pivotal importance of Saint Petersburg across the centuries, from Peter the Great's visionary founding of the city to the way it has shaped its most infamous son, Vladimir Putin. From its darkest moments to its enduring spirit, Saint Petersburg explore the layers of history that have shaped this extraordinary place. 'McKay is a gifted writer; his prose has the cadence, tone and power of a Shostakovich symphony. Horror is majestically conveyed' Gerard DeGroot, The Times

The City That Defied Hitler

The Raag of Rta

As the Sun sets on the age of virtue, the shadows gather for a final dance. The Mathuran Republic and Magadhan Empire are locked in mortal struggle, but they are not the only pieces on the board. Over the Eastern horizon, storm clouds gather. The Rakshasan Tree Cities have opened their borders for the first time in centuries, gathering kings, clerics, matriarchs and merchant lords to a Conclave of Peace... all the better to carve up the future without having to worry about either Empire or Republic. After all, a season of peace is the time to plant anew the seeds of war. But in this world drenched in oil, three women emerge, each the spark that might light the fire. A Pirate Queen discovers the only gold around is in the bars of her cage. A Temple Courtesan's heart dances for the lowborn archer she was tasked to destroy. A Librarian Princess steals from deathless witches and legendary thieves to save the world from an ancient plague. As smouldering conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals unwind and ancient evils awake, our cast of spoilt heroes and lovesick princes, immortal assassins and their apprentices, deaf swordswomen and exiled snakelings will find no sun to light their path. For the Son of Darkness rises, boiling over with a wrath that all the oracles in the world cannot appease. Seeing the future is one thing, changing it is quite another. Unless it is through a heist.
