Housing is a fundamental human need but remains one of the most difficult things for disadvantaged people to obtain. Participatory approaches to accessing housing are often complicated and inconsistent and need to be re-examined. The book explores three cases in the Philippines, revealing how people understand and experience participatory housing as both empowering and conflicting. Using an organisational communication lens, Koschmann rethinks civil society collaboration in housing resettlement and relocation, proposing a new approach to participation for informal settlement communities in the Global South. The book is essential reading for researchers, students, and practitioners in organisational communication, housing, and development.

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Despite decades of gender equality policies, women, girls, and gender diverse people are still the most negatively impacted by the climate crisis and food and housing insecurity. So where will the financing for change come from? This edited collection demonstrates that public banks hold untapped potential to advance a gender-transformative development agenda. Offering case studies from around the world, it examines how and to what extent national and regional public banks are addressing structural inequalities through their governance, mandates, and lending practices. Focusing on institutions with strong social development goals, the book highlights the promising practices that are already driving positive change.

Der Autor untersucht, wie durch ein aktives Nachfragemanagement die Endkundennachfrage in Demand Chains zu einer planbaren Einflussgröße transformiert werden kann. Hierzu wurde das zwischen Wertschöpfungsketten bestehende relationale Vertragsverhältnis auf die Beziehung zwischen Endkunden und der endkundennächsten Demand-Chain-Stufe übertragen und mittels Simulationsexperimenten untersucht, wie sich dies auf die Leistung von Demand Chains auswirkt.

Risk, Governance and Society

European finance now operates under a dense web of intersecting rules. While these safeguards have reduced formal weaknesses, they often undercut strategic capacity, immobilize capital, and promote a tick-box mindset. This book argues that the problem is not the volume of regulations, but rather the absence of a shared language of risk. Treating risk as an external constraint renders institutions compliant yet fragile.
Drawing on the author's background in banking, payments, and fintech—including CTO/CIO and board-level roles with responsibility for technology strategy, operational resilience, payment systems, and supervisory engagement—and research on risk-based performance indicators, the book blends practice and research. It offers a governance-centered framework that translates regulatory duties into risk-based decision-making and metrics, differentiates banks from nonbanks, and integrates technology and third-party exposure.
Reframing supervision as a relational process built on proportionality, trust, and risk ownership, this book will appeal to readers interested in how financial risk governance shapes institutions, supervision, and society.

Enorme Ungleichheiten, Klimakatastrophe, schleichende Faschisierung, unumschränkte polizeiliche Kontrolle - das Spektakel des Kapitalismus ist eine riesige Obszönität, die den politischen Vorstellungshorizont zunehmend beschränkt. Dass unter solchen Umständen der Gedanke aufkommt, man solle keine Hoffnungen in die vom Kapitalismus kolonisierten Staatsorgane setzen, ist leicht nachvollziehbar. Doch was ist die Alternative? Wie können wir uns eine Welt vorstellen, die nicht mehr von Institutionen, Bürokratie, Polizei, Lohnarbeit und dem Diktat des Geldes beherrscht wird? Wie lässt sich ein Leben denken - und leben - jenseits von Hierarchie und Herrschaft? 

 In seinem leidenschaftlichen Gespräch mit Félix Boggio Éwanjé-Épée begibt sich der französische Soziologe und Ökonom Frédéric Lordon mitten hinein in die von existenziellen Katastrophen geplagte Gegenwart und zeichnet so mitSchärfe, Witz und intellektueller Brillanz, dabei politische Theorie mit der spinozistischen Idee des Anderswerdens verknüpfend, die Konturen eines Denkens, das nicht resigniert, sondern Mut macht - Mut dazu, sich die eigene Vorstellungskraft zurückzuerobern.

Finance for Professionals

This book addresses a gap in the existing literature by bringing together the disciplines that underpin macro risk management, including macroeconomics, derivatives, quantitative methods, market microstructure, and the behavior of institutional market participants. While these subjects are well covered individually, only a few works examine how they interact in the practice of macro risk management. As macro multi-strategy hedge funds have grown in scale and importance, they have introduced risk management challenges distinct from those found in traditional investment strategies. Written by an industry leader with experience building and leading risk teams across some of the world's most prestigious hedge funds, this book provides an integrated framework for understanding and managing risk in modern macro investing.

“I really enjoyed reading this. Robert Ippaso covers inflation from Hammurabi to COVID-19 in an entertaining manner, illustrating the social impact—including the reactionary impacts—of inflation. The book provides a wealth of information about inflation. Eager readers: Be prepared to take the book page by page, section by section. This is a great book.”—Bryan Taylor, Chief Economist, Finaeon Inc. and author of 
 A Global History of Currencies
 &nbsp;
 Inflation, Its Victims, and Its Profiteers&nbsp; examines four millennia of monetary turbulence to show that inflation is neither modern nor mysterious—merely humanity's oldest recurring argument between what things cost and what people will accept.Tracing price instability from Mesopotamian grain edicts to twenty-first-century currency crises, the book identifies the patterns that connect ancient debasement, wartime finance, and contemporary policy failures. Economic incentives, political pressures, and the enduring irrationality of human behaviour collectively shape every inflationary episode — and history suggests today's are no more unprecedented than they feel.Seven sections move from conceptual foundations to forensic case studies: how industries from automotive manufacturing to oil have adapted; how criminal networks thrive in inflationary environments; how professions insulate themselves from monetary erosion; how central banking, dollarization, and digital currencies have each promised stability with mixed results. The centrepiece surveys inflation crises across civilisations — Mesopotamia to modern Latin America — before a closing chapter projects likely trajectories in developed economies over the next quarter-century.A book for anyone who suspects that rising prices deserve more than a newspaper column — and that the past has rather more to say about the present than policymakers prefer to admit.&nbsp;Robert Ippaso
 is an economist, economic historian, and international entrepreneur whose four decades of business experience across six continents inform his reading of inflation as a living force rather than an academic abstraction. He holds a PhD in Entrepreneurship and Innovation and a BA (Hons) in Economics and Economic History.

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

This book provides a comprehensive legal, regulatory, and policy analysis of one of the most important developments in modern finance: the emergence of stablecoins as a new form of digital money. Drawing on financial regulation, fintech law, payments infrastructure, digital assets, and monetary economics, the book examines how stablecoins are reshaping cross-border payments, settlement systems, decentralised finance (DeFi), and global capital markets.Covering the full lifecycle of stablecoin ecosystems, the book explores technical architecture, reserve management, governance, systemic risk, operational resilience, tokenised deposits, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and the evolving relationship between private money and state monetary authority. It offers detailed analysis of major regulatory frameworks, including the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the UK’s emerging stablecoin regime, and the US GENIUS Act, while also examining developments across emerging markets and the Asia-Pacific region.Combining legal analysis with practical industry insight, Regulating Stablecoins explains how stablecoins are influencing financial stability, monetary sovereignty, digital dollarisation, and the future architecture of global payments. It is an essential resource for academics, lawyers, regulators, policymakers, compliance professionals, fintech practitioners, and institutional participants seeking to understand the future of money in a tokenised economy.&nbsp;Gavin I.
