The Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science

The book provides an empirically rich analysis of Bangladesh’s economic transformation through globalization, with particular focus on the emergence of its globally competitive garment export industry. It emphasizes the crucial role of internal ideational factors within the state, arguing that policy learning—driven by key technocrats and political executives—was central to designing strategies that enabled industrialization and export-led growth.
Challenging conventional narratives that attribute policy reforms primarily to external pressures from international financial institutions, the book highlights how endogenous political agency and state-led planning facilitated the rise of the private sector. The garment sector, in particular, became a catalyst for socio-economic transformation, advancing women's economic participation, enhancing household incomes, and contributing significantly to GDP growth.
Drawing on a political economy approach and the framework of historical institutionalism, the book traces the evolution of policymaking across successive governments. It demonstrates how internal ideas, institutions, and strategic decisions—rather than external imposition—shaped the country’s development path.
This book will be of great interest to policymakers, economists, scholars of international political economy and development studies, policy and business schools, and those focused on the dynamics of export-led growth and industrial transformation in emerging economies.
• &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Explores the evolution of policy learning in Bangladesh through the concept of the policy committee—a unique contribution to governance studies in the Global South. • &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Analyzes technocratic ideas and political agency in facilitating garment exports and driving socio-economic transformation in a post-aid agrarian society. • &nbsp; &nbsp;Offers a nuanced account of political decision-making and state–society interactions in public policy formation.

Palgrave Studies in Comparative Global History

This book summarizes three decades of research in Iberian and Latin American anthropometric history, employing the most up-to-date methodologies in the field. Through a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, it examines the evolution of biological living standards in several Iberian and Latin American populations during the contemporary era, drawing on anthropometric data and its key determinants. The volume comprises nine long-term country studies—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, and Spain—alongside an introduction and a comparative analysis. Being recognized experts on this field of study, the authors collectively display the knowledge gained in Anthropometric History in last twenty years.

 This edited collection highlights the value of anthropometric indicators for analyzing living standards and human well-being from a historical perspective and demonstrates the importance of interdisciplinary research in understanding human growth and biological welfare. Its findings explore the determinants of human physical development through various historical transitions, including nation-state formation, economic growth, and the expansion of public goods, as well as the long-term evolution of inequality in biological living standards across Iberian and Latin American contexts.

Discover how past climatic events have shaped economic, political, and social structures.
&nbsp;
This book discusses the effects of climate change on major historical junctures, including: the evolution of our species to anatomically modern humans, human dispersal from the cradle of humanity, the peopling of our world over time, the transition to sedentary life, the introduction of farming, the collapse of complex societies, the demise of civilizations, the decline of kingdoms and empires, the outbreak of conflicts, and the spread of infectious diseases. Historical episodes explored include the evolution of hominins, human migration patterns, the development of agriculture, and the rise and fall of civilizations especially during the 4.2 ka event, the Late Bronze Age Crisis, and the Little Ice Age. Blending theoretical perspectives and evidence from multiple disciplines, the book examines how climate anomalies have led to societal changes.
Exploring the interplay between climate and economies, Climate Change, Economic Channels, and Historical Junctures amplifies the connections between climate change and human history. Throughout the book, economist Sherif Khalifa emphasizes the economic consequences of climate change, offering unique insights into how environmental factors have driven historical outcomes. Chapters underscore the significance of understanding these historical patterns to predict—and mitigate—potential future impacts of ongoing climate change.

How Climate Change Shaped Human History

Climate Change, Economic Channels, and Historical Junctures

This textbook aims to systematically identify the factors and mechanisms that influence the sustainability of cooperative enterprises, which have unique characteristics that distinguish them from investor-owned firms, by analyzing existing theoretical and empirical literature, as well as success and failure cases of cooperatives. In recent years, cooperatives have proliferated in many countries and across a wide range of sectors and types. The sustainability of cooperatives as an alternative enterprise is crucial for the creation and maintenance of decent work, the creation of socially integrated employment, the provision of participatory social services, and the restoration of local community. Since cooperatives are a form of enterprise, the knowledge of traditional business administration textbooks can be helpful in managing a cooperative. However, the problem is that most of the contents of business management textbooks, are mainly designed for profit-seeking enterprises, so they are often not appropriate for cooperative enterprises. For example, cooperatives have different business objectives, different ownership types, different capital financing methods, different business relationships, and different cultures than profit-seeking companies. These differences need to be reflected in business strategy, corporate strategy, internal organizational design, financial strategy, and corporate culture and leadership formation strategies. If the cooperative's purpose and values are not reflected in each area of the cooperative's management, the purpose and values will become taxidermy, and the cooperative will disappear from the capitalist market competition, or even if it survives, its original purpose and values will fade and it will be indistinguishable from profit-seeking enterprises. This book is designed and written to contribute to the understanding of co-operative management by analyzing existing research findings that may have implications for the success of co-operative management.

An Organizational Economics Approach

Strategic Management of Cooperatives

A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life—her many friendships, her sexual intimacies, and her love of science, nature and art. Always opposed to the First World War, when others on the German left were swept up on a tide of nationalism, she was imprisoned and murdered in 1919 fighting for a revolution she knew to be doomed. In this beautifully drawn work of graphic biography, writer and artist Kate Evans has opened up her subject’s intellectual world to a new audience, grounding Luxemburg’s ideas in the realities of an inspirational and deeply affecting life.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

African Studies and Research Forum Series

This monograph offers a detailed examination of the role of Chinese infrastructure development aid and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the economic growth of three key African countries: Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The author argues that a significant positive correlation exists between Chinese infrastructure aid and investment and the GDP growth in these countries. Furthermore, the author examines whether a dependency relationship exists between Chinese infrastructure aid and FDI in these nations. This point is crucial as it explores these economies' long-term sustainability and autonomy, questioning whether they are becoming over-reliant on Chinese aid and FDI. Using comparative analysis, the book discusses the impacts of China's infrastructure projects across both economic and social dimensions. This work is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who wish to understand the intricacies of China's involvement in Africa. It contributes to informed decision-making and policy formulation by shedding light on the impact of development through a well-rounded comparative perspective. The insights provided will benefit those involved in development economics, international relations, public policy, and African studies.

Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism

This short, engaging book challenges the widely held belief that ‘classical liberalism’ is the original and authentic form of liberalism. The book argues that this narrative – often used to position libertarianism as the true liberal tradition and social democratic liberalism as a distortion – is built on historical misunderstandings of the terms ‘liberal’ and ‘liberalism’.
Focusing on English and American contexts, the book uses primary sources to show that the free-market doctrines of Adam Smith, later interpreted by thinkers like Hayek and Friedman as libertarian principles, should not be conflated with liberalism. Instead, liberalism first emerged in nineteenth-century England as a political philosophy rooted in constitutionalism and republicanism. The book also examines how Franklin D. Roosevelt reshaped American political language by associating "liberals" with New Deal supporters and "conservatives" with its opponents. By exploring these two pivotal moments and the broader political and economic history that connects them, de Marneffe redefines classical liberalism and critiques rigid interpretations of liberal thought. This book will appeal to scholars of politics, philosophy, economics, and the history of ideas.
