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.

Governance and Public Management

This book is one of three volumes that provide a systematic overview of public administration, public management and public governance in Italy.

Contributors comprise some of the leading historians, political scientists, lawyers and public management scholars, as well as reflective practitioners who have worked in key posts in the Italian public sector. It will appeal to students and scholars of public administration, public management and public governance, as well as practitioners with an interest in Italy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A BBC History magazine, Esquire, Historia magazine and Waterstones History Book of the Year'James comes alive in full flamboyance ... Russell expertly weaves the bedchamber gossip into the tapestry of a tumultuous reign' SUNDAY TIMES'Brings the backbiting and power struggles of the Jacobean court to life with wit and vigour' OBSERVER'A warts and all story told with compassion' PHILIPPA GREGORY_______________________________'Elizabeth was king,Then James was queen.' - English author (1603)James Stuart, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland did not always love wisely, but he never failed to do so boldly.He fell in love three times - with a Scottish lord, a knight and George Villiers, 'the handsomest man in the whole world'. He was infatuated three more times - with a Highland earl, a Welsh lord and an English spy.We know so much about the six wives of Henry VIII, why not the six loves of James I?This groundbreaking new book puts James - genius, liar, spendthrift, idealist, witch-hunter - and the men he loved at the centre of one of the most dramatic stories in British royal history.Beginning with the brutal and mysterious murder of his father in 1567, James's life encompassed kidnapping, witchcraft trials, torture, his mother's beheading, poison, political radicalism, religious fundamentalism, a queen's alleged abortion, passionate sex, strong love, stronger hate, espionage, brothels, and a decade-long love affair that ended in assassination.It is unquestionably one of the most gripping stories in British history, retold in Gareth Russell's Queen James with scholarship, biographical insight and wit.________________________________'Books like this don't come along very often. Told with Gareth Russell's characteristic verve and exquisite eye for detail, it is a story so compelling and surprising that it feels as if it has been hiding in plain sight for 400 years. A stunning achievement and a must for history fans everywhere' TRACY BORMAN

Contributions to Public Administration and Public Policy

This book examines metropolitan governance and interjurisdictional collaboration in Latin America, focusing on the “metropolitan problem” created by fragmented jurisdictions that produce inefficiency, inequity, and weak coordination. Moving beyond traditional metropolitan governments, it highlights interjurisdictional collaboration as a middle ground, drawing on and adapting the Institutional Collective Action (ICA) framework to contexts marked by weak rule of law and informal institutions. The book proposes that collaboration choices depend on the problem’s nature, actors’ preferences and capacities, and institutional settings. Through case studies of Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Santiago, and São Paulo, it shows how inequalities, wealth disparities, institutional frameworks, and leadership shape collaboration, particularly in transportation and environmental policy. Ultimately, it advances a dynamic view of metropolitan governance as evolving institutions that balance risks, costs, and benefits, offering a new research agenda for urban governance in Latin America.

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.
