Outlines the urgent response needed to address privatization, which has led to dramatic but largely overlooked consequences for human rights.

Governments around the world are privatizing everything, with dramatic but largely ignored negative consequences for human rights. This open access book outlines the response that is urgently needed.

Chapter 1. Expertise in fund management (Fredrik Nilsson).- Chapter 2. Performance and fund managers’ expertise (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 3. Searching for expert fund managers (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 4. Judgments and decisions by expert fund managers (Martin Abrahamson).- Chapter 5. Individual foresight and fund management expertise (Melissa Innes).- Chapter 6. Artificial intelligence in discretionary fund management (Haojun Hu).- Chapter 7. Integrating ESG information in active fund management (Katarzyna Cieslak).- Chapter 8. Analysing fund managers’ accountability (Frank Hartmann).- Chapter 9. Does expertise matter? Concluding reflections (Fredrik Nilsson).

This book offers novel insights into how expert fund managers—those who demonstrate superior performance over the long term—make their judgments and decisions. It is often claimed that actively managed funds create value for investors by making more informed decisions. The general idea is that experts make judgments and decisions that will outperform passively managed funds, i.e., the market. Although such claims seem reasonable, many actively managed funds do not consistently beat the market. Additionally, it is argued that the fees charged by actively managed funds are too high relative to the value they provide. However, some assert that certain fund managers do outperform the market in the long term. Regardless of the position one takes, there is a clear need to critically examine and discuss the concept of fund management expertise.The book also explores how recent and significant societal developments, such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, and multiple accountabilities, are shaping the nature of expertise today and how it might evolve in the future. The book draws on both earlier research on expertise and recent publications related to business and accounting, as well as insights from new empirical studies. It appeals to both scholars and professionals in finance wanting to learn about capital markets and fund management.

This book offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to understanding and preventing police misconduct in the twenty-first century. Drawing on empirical research across multiple jurisdictions, it explores how our understanding of police misconduct has evolved over time, tracing the changing view of how misconduct emerges, evolves, and persists within law enforcement organisations. Through detailed analyses of stress, typologies, disciplinary systems, prediction and early intervention, it demonstrates how misconduct can, at times, be identified and either managed or disrupted before escalating into crisis. Integrating perspectives on more advanced analytical methods, including machine learning, network analytics, life-course and longitudinal approaches, this book bridges theory, data, and practice to consider structural and behavioural roots of deviance among police. Rather than treating misconduct solely as an individual failing, it presents misconduct as a systemic challenge that demands holistic, data-driven reform. Combining an understanding of historical research with applied modern insights, it is important reading for policing professionals and researchers seeking to understand and build transparent and ethically resilient interventions for police misconduct.

This powerful guide draws on strategies from Black resistance movements and merges historical wisdom with modern technology to combat the DEI backlash and build sustainable workplace equity in today’s hostile climate. As the unprecedented backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion intensifies—with corporations dismantling initiatives, lawmakers passing anti-DEI legislation, and post–George Floyd promises abandoned—this tactical handbook arms advocates with revolutionary resistance strategies drawn from Black historical movements. Dr. Janice Gassam Asare transforms centuries of Black resistance wisdom—from Underground Railroad networks to civil rights organizing tactics—into modern resistance plans, wielding ethical AI as a force multiplier to create sustainable change that outlasts corporate whims and political cycles. Each chapter grounds modern workplace tactics in revolutionary approaches of more than twenty prominent Black historical figures, including the following: <ul><li>Ida B. Wells—Documentation techniques for workplace injustice inspired by her work</li><li>Ella Baker and Fred Hampton—Coalition-building methods from the American civil rights movement</li><li>Toni Morrison and Angela Davis—Narrative control strategies drawn from their celebrated writing</li></ul> Whether you’re a DEI practitioner navigating corporate pushback, an employee experiencing equity rollbacks, or a leader committed to sustainable inclusion, this handbook provides battle-tested strategies for preserving workplace equity—even in hostile environments. This isn’t just about surviving the backlash. It’s about reimagining workplaces where everyone thrives.

How to Reclaim Workplace Equity and Justice

Rise and Resist

Our lives are imbued with rules and regulations, some of which are vital and sensible, but others are simply stupid. Time-wasting processes of compliance don't improve anyone's lives or wellbeing and burden companies and organizations with productivity-sapping paperwork. In these instances, we would be better off resorting to the exercise of authority. It is a concept that we are now afraid of, but authority in the right place is a more efficient and transparent option for getting things done. Natasha Hamilton-Hart navigates the rules-maze that has proliferated in response to crisis and failure in recent decades, challenging us to consider just how ineffective stupid rules are in holding power to account, to improving service delivery, and even in managing the office dress code. A must-read for anyone frustrated by the bureaucratic overload regulations create and for those needing to rethink their approach to management.

Reducing Red Tape and Making Organizations More Effective and Accountable

Stupid Rules

Concealed behind digital platforms, a vast, dispersed, and largely invisible workforce quietly generates and annotates the data that powers today's AI boom. In Platform Extractivism, information scientist Julián Posada argues that these platforms are engines of extraction rooted in the enduring social inequalities and transnational power disparities of coloniality. Posada reveals that technology, especially today's so-called AI, is not artificial, autonomous, or intelligent; it inherently relies on and extracts from humanity. Drawing on mixed-methods research on three platforms in the Venezuelan data work sector, Posada exposes the human cost of this technology, revealing how digital platforms have capitalized on economic instability, targeting vulnerable populations to extract value from their precarious labor. A critical intervention in the debate on the future of work, this book provides profound insight into the implications of artificial intelligence and moves beyond the context of advanced economies to focus on the labor involved in its production. Platform Extractivism questions whether AI is a tool for freedom or an engine driving the widening the gap between the unseen workers who teach machines and the corporations that profit from them.

The authors explore the core ethical challenges of algorithmic bias, transparency, data privacy, and human oversight, and discuss effective strategies to mitigate these challenges and enhance the fairness and reliability of AI systems. The book analyzes the regulatory landscape across key sectors such as finance, healthcare, and criminal justice, and discusses how leading companies like Google and Microsoft are pioneering effective AI governance. Blending practical examples, regulatory analysis, and forward-thinking strategies, this book is a vital resource for professionals aiming to navigate the complex world of AI ethics and governance.

Shaping Ethical Governance in the Age of Algorithms

"HIV emerged in the world at a time when medicine and healthcare were undergoing two major transformations: globalization and a turn toward more legally inflected, rule-based ways of doing things. It accelerated both trends. Although pestilence and disease are generally considered the domain of the biological sciences and medicine, social arrangements-and law in particular- also play a crucial role in shaping outcomes. Drawing on years of research in HIV clinics in the United States, Thailand, South Africa, and Uganda, Governing the Global Clinic examines how growing norms of legalized accountably have altered the work of healthcare and how the effects of legalization vary across different national and local contexts. A key feature of legalism is the use of universalistic language, but, in practice, rules are usually imported from rich countries (and especially the United States) to poor ones with vastly different available infrastructures and resources with which to implement them. Inequalities between countries are deeply consequential both because of the difficulties associated with adapting the laws of resource-rich countries to poorer ones and because of the distrust of poor countries by those who are monitoring compliance. Challenging readers to reconsider the impulse to use law (in both its "hard" and "soft" forms) to organize and govern social life, Governing the Global Clinic asks many hard questions. These include: When do rules solve problems, and when do rules instead create new problems? When do rules get decoupled from ethics, and when, in contrast, does the use of rules lead to deeper moral commitments? When do rules reduce inequality? And when do they reflect, reproduce, and even amplify inequality?"--

Unmasking Safety's Myth of Individualism unveils a critical gap in current safety thinking: safety is not solely an individual responsibility, but a social outcome that entails collective action and thinking. Focusing on individual responsibility often translates into individual blame (most often called accountability) and is usually accompanied by a reluctance to recognize the psychosocial harm that leads to physical and emotional injuries. The cost of this oversimplification is that we miss the crucial role of psychological well-being and social dynamics.This book encourages us not to dismiss the importance of safety management systems, but to expose their limitations. Along with practical pointers, it advocates for a relationship-centered evolution that prioritizes human connection to break through the current status quo and reduce serious injuries and fatalities. The focus on relationship-centered leadership and the critique of an exclusively individualistic or physical focus is timely and relevant. The book challenges leaders to rethink their approach to safety, moving beyond over-reliance on individual responsibility and embracing a relationship-centered model that fosters collective action and psychological wellbeing. It provides a blueprint where leaders act as catalysts for change, guiding and supporting their teams to achieve shared safety goals. Unlike traditional approaches, this book explores the crucial role of social dynamics and relational leadership in creating truly safe workplaces. It offers specific strategies for fostering communication and building trust. Additionally, this book provides valuable insights into the role of OHS advisors from a social perspective. It explores how leaders can effectively leverage the H&amp;S function by understanding the challenges OHS professionals face in influencing organizational culture. Finally, it offers practical advice and strategies for executives and managers as well as for OHS advisors on navigating hierarchical structures and effectively drive safety improvements.This book is written for all safety leaders, executives and safety professionals. It could also have a role in supplementary reading for graduate programs.
