European Administrative Governance

When Expertise Meets Politics

Financial Regulatory Rulemaking in the European Union

Rural development is one of the most complex and topical research areas, requiring interdisciplinary approaches and the proposal of multifunctional, sustainable economic development models grounded in both theoretical and empirical studies. Such studies emphasize socio-economic indicators that can improve policy approaches to analysis, evaluation, and decision-making. Shifts in rural development policies-from a sectoral to a multisectoral perspective and, more recently, to a territorial approach that embraces local community development-highlight the need for socio-economic indicators related to rural development opportunities generated by various domains (e.g., agriculture, tourism). Rural areas are among those experiencing the most profound transformations in recent years, driven by demographic challenges, economic fluctuations and uncertainties, environmental risks, and the impacts of climate change. These factors significantly increase population vulnerability worldwide in rural regions. Population growth and resource scarcity or depletion become even more acute when access to education, financial resources, or transportation infrastructure is limited by unbalanced investments and inadequate planning resulting from deficient administrative systems. Conversely, the rapid development of digital technologies-including smart agriculture, smart household technologies, and digital systems of education and administration-demonstrates clear opportunities for growth and development while improving resource accessibility for rural regions and among more vulnerable demographic groups.

Economic Indicators Relating to Rural Development

Welcome to the new era of finance. Welcome to the Intersection.This straight-talking book from the global team at Money20/20 is your essential guide to the convergence of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). It shows how digital assets, programmable money, and new regulatory frameworks are reshaping global financial infrastructure.Inside, you will explore how regulation is unlocking scale across regions, how stablecoins and CBDCs power real time cross border settlement, how tokenization brings real world assets on chain, how digital identity and zero knowledge protect users, and how AI and real time rails transform the operating model of modern finance. The result is an integrated financial system built for speed, transparency, and resilience.Whether you are a banking executive making real decisions about blockchain, stablecoins, and tokenization, a fintech founder building on both traditional and emerging rails, a regulator shaping the guardrails of the digital economy, or an investor scanning for the next structural shift, The New Intersection of Money gives you the insights, strategic guidance, and operating frameworks to lead with confidence.

Assessing the Impact of Al-Amal Microfinance Bank's Green Finance Practices on Client-Level Socioeconomic and Environmental Outcomes in Yemen examines how green finance can be implemented within a fragile and conflict-affected economy and how financial interventions can contribute to economic, environmental, and social outcomes. Focusing on 2023-2025, the study assesses AMB's adoption of green finance across five dimensions: green financial products, portfolio allocation, environmental and social policies and ESG practices, partnerships, and institutional capacity. The findings show that green finance became an operational component of the Bank's activities, particularly in renewable energy and sustainable agriculture. By 2024, AMB reported 1,866 cumulative green-finance facilities valued at more than YER 6.3 billion, representing 19% of its reported portfolio. The study also examines documented client-level outcomes. Among surveyed clients, 65% reported increased household or business income, 48% reported business or agricultural expansion, and 35% reported creating new local jobs. Environmental outcomes were evident through the adoption of solar energy, solar-powered irrigation, water-efficient technologies, and electric mobility, alongside reduced dependence on conventional energy sources. Importantly, the study takes a critical approach to impact measurement. While the evidence demonstrates observable environmental change, systematic client-level measurement of fuel savings and CO¿-equivalent reductions remains limited. The research therefore distinguishes documented environmental outcomes from fully quantified environmental impact. Drawing on mixed-methods research, institutional records, sustainability reporting, quantitative evidence, and interviews, this study contributes to the emerging literature on green finance in fragile economies and offers practical insights for financial institutions, policymakers, development partners, and researchers.

A critical examination of the Federal Reserve-told by the policymakers, economists, and observers who know it bestThe Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world-and one of the least understood. Drawing on twenty-one interviews with former governors, reserve bank presidents, staff economists, lawmakers, journalists, scholars, international central bankers, and investors, Fed Reckoning explores how the institution has navigated the defining upheavals of the modern era: the global financial crisis, the pandemic shock, the post-2021 inflation surge, and the banking turmoil of 2023. It traces the modern Federal Reserve from Volcker to Powell, examining its evolving approach to the dual mandate, financial stability, regulation and supervision, and communication.Just as importantly, these interviews reveal the people behind the institution: their judgments, disagreements, frustrations, and sense of mission. The result is a candid, deeply informed portrait of the Federal Reserve at a moment when its power is immense, its independence is under pressure, and its future path is far from certain-and essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how it makes and defends its decisions.

Studies in International Trade and Investment Law

This open access book examines the evolving role of international economic law in addressing two interrelated challenges of the 21st century: enabling digital development and bridging the digital divide. The rapid digitalisation of the economy has generated significant challenges, including a deepening global digital and data divide and a persistent lack of inclusive digital development. Confronting these challenges head on, this pioneering book brings together experts across different legal subfields, geographies, and disciplines to examine the role and relevance of international economic law in bridging the global digital divide and enabling digital development, particularly from the perspective of the Global South. The contributions are anchored in a distinctive analytical framework that traces future directions through which international economic law interacts with digital development, demonstrating how it may function as a constraint, fade into irrelevance, or eventually act as an enabler. The chapters focus on a broad range of areas, including international trade, investment, tax, development, competition, finance and related regulatory and policy domains; they consider multilateral, regional, and plurilateral frameworks; and draw on a plurality of perspectives from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. The authors employ a wide range of methodological approaches to address issues such as digital sovereignty and digital industrial policy, cross-border data flows and digital global value chains, competition in data markets, AI governance, financial inclusion, and the sustainability-digitalisation nexus. This book speaks to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in international economic law, development studies, and technology law who seek theoretical and pragmatic pathways for reorienting international economic law as a tool for equitable, sustainable, and meaningful digital development. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Towards Digital Development

Reorienting International Economic Law for the Digital Economy

A compelling account of the role of asset managers in driving consolidation across the American economy, offering a bold call to revive and reinforce US antitrust and antimonopoly policy. Recent decades have witnessed the rise of both finance and monopoly power in the United States. Although seemingly unrelated, these developments are in fact intimately linked. As Andrew McLean makes clear, asset managers-especially private equity houses and large index investors-are key contributors to the decline of competition in the American economy. Antitrust and the Age of Asset Management explores two primary ways in which asset managers drive consolidation. First, there is the private equity practice of strategically acquiring numerous companies in a single industry. Such "roll-up" acquisitions are responsible for consolidation across many sectors, from local newspapers to ski resorts, and have been particularly prominent in healthcare, harming patients, workers, and the medical system at large. Second, a subtler form of consolidation is created by "horizontal shareholding," in which asset managers hold shares in multiple companies operating in the same market. This phenomenon has grown alongside the increasing popularity of index funds from providers such as BlackRock, Fidelity, State Street, and Vanguard, and is associated with anticompetitive effects in a range of industries, from airlines to agriculture. McLean proposes several ambitious reforms to contest finance-led consolidation, including banning acquisitions that would give a private equity house control of more than 30 percent of a market and imposing a maximum cap on the amount of equity capital that an asset manager may manage. Highlighting the close ties between monopoly and finance, Antitrust and the Age of Asset Management is a timely addition to debates about market power and the dangers of an excessively large and influential financial sector.

In The Financiers and the Nation (1934) Mr. Johnston - Privy Councillor - examines a dozen or so of the most spectacular of the major financial frauds permitted by Bank of England and City merchants in 19th and early 20th centuries and ends with a few proposed remedies, among them being the nationalization of the Bank of England, the development of regional municipal banks, greater use of the Post Office Savings Bank, and the planning and direction of a capital investment board.
