The Palgrave Handbook of Local Government Accounting History

This research monograph examines agricultural e-commerce in emerging economies as a problem of market design rather than technology adoption. It asks a single question: how is digital readiness converted into trusted, formal and scalable agricultural transactions?Kazakhstan serves as the primary case, combining substantial agricultural potential, long distances between producers and consumers, uneven regional development, strong digital infrastructure and active policy interest in platform-based market access. Drawing on fieldwork in Azerbaijan and Malaysia, the book compares three contrasting routes to the same problem: infrastructure-led and private, administration-led and public, and platform-led and public.The author argues that readiness is conjunctive - the weakest layer binds - and that the constraint which recurs across all three countries is organisational: the capacity to aggregate dispersed smallholder output into commercially transactable consignments. The book closes with a sequencing framework for policy.It will interest economists of emerging markets and the digital economy, agricultural economists, and policymakers working on digital trade and rural market development.

Contributions to Finance and Accounting

This monograph explores the relationship between financial structure optimization decisions and business performance in an emergent economy. Focusing on Romanian motor parts and accessories wholesale companies, the book provides a data-driven examination of how capital structure influences profitability, return on equity, and financial stability, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty. Drawing on real-world financial data at the national level, the study evaluates the impact of different financing strategies and employs analytical tools such as the Regression Analysis based on the sector's data alongside industry-specific performance indicators to assess performance, leverage and financial profitability.Addressing key themes including financial decision-making under uncertainty, access to capital in emerging markets, and the influence of ownership structures on "long-term outcomes". This book offers valuable insights for academics, finance professionals, policymakers, and researchers. Its findings contribute to a deeper understanding of capital structure dynamics, financial profitability, and business performance within evolving market environments.Rodica Baciu

Artificial Intelligence and the Rule of Law

This book offers a timely examination of AI regulation in the era of Industry 5.0, where innovation must be balanced with human well-being, sustainability, and responsible governance. It explores how artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare, environmental stewardship, corporate governance, digital commerce, and emerging technologies while creating new regulatory, ethical, and societal challenges. As AI increasingly influences critical decisions across healthcare systems, innovation ecosystems, educational institutions, and business environments, policymakers and practitioners face growing questions regarding accountability, transparency, safety, trust, privacy, and human rights. Addressing these concerns, this edited volume brings together leading scholars and experts to examine the evolving legal, ethical, and governance frameworks needed to support responsible AI adoption.The chapters cover a diverse range of contemporary topics, including AI-enabled drug discovery, healthcare decision-making, medical liability, patient rights, sustainability governance, climate and environmental regulation, AI in education, intellectual property and innovation, corporate governance, e-commerce regulation, cybersecurity, regulatory sandboxes, and explainable AI in high-risk sectors. Together, these contributions provide interdisciplinary perspectives on how AI can be developed and governed in ways that foster innovation while protecting societal interests.A central theme of the book is the Industry 5.0 vision of human-centric technological progress. The contributors highlight how effective regulation can promote trustworthy AI systems that support sustainable development, strengthen innovation, encourage responsible technological deployment, and create long-term value for society. By bridging law, policy, governance, healthcare, sustainability and technology studies, this volume offers valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of AI-driven transformation. It provides a forward-looking resource for understanding how regulatory frameworks can enable innovation while ensuring that technological advancement remains ethical, inclusive, and sustainable.This book is intended for researchers, academics, policymakers, regulators, healthcare professionals, technology practitioners, industry leaders, graduate students, and readers interested in artificial intelligence, Industry 5.0, sustainability, healthcare innovation and emerging technologies.

AI Regulation in Industry 5.0

This edited volume explores one of the defining phenomena of the contemporary global economy: the internationalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Once constrained by limited resources, geographic distance, and restricted market access, SMEs now operate in interconnected international ecosystems shaped by globalization, digital technologies, and evolving institutional environments. Yet international expansion remains complex, especially across culturally diverse and institutionally heterogeneous contexts.
 
 Bringing together perspectives from international business, institutional theory, cross-cultural management, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation, this volume examines how informal institutions, cultural intelligence, and digitisation influence SME internationalisation. With a comparative focus on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Asia, it demonstrates how informal institutions can compensate for institutional voids while fostering innovation. By emphasizing "soft infrastructure" as a strategic asset, the book challenges approaches that prioritize formal institutions alone and offers a more comprehensive framework for understanding SME growth across borders.

Der globale Kapitalismus befindet sich in der Dauerkrise. Globale Finanzkrise, Eurokrise, 'Flüchtlingskrise', Corona­krise, Krise im Ergebnis der neuen Kriege von der Ukraine bis Nahost: Kaum scheint ein Krisenherd unter Kontrolle, schlägt die Dauerkrise aus einer unerwarteten Richtung zurück. Durch die Krisen verändert sich jedoch, wie schon immer in der Geschichte, auch der Kapitalismus selbst: Neoliberale Weltordnung und unangefochtene US-Hegemonie waren einmal. In den Konflikten um Aufstieg und Abstieg von Großmächten wird der Kapitalismus postliberal: Ent­demokratisierung, Autoritarismus, (Wirtschafts-)Nationalismus, Militarismus, Imperialismus und (Wirtschafts-)Krieg sind die neue Normalität. Am Horizont zeichnen sich die Konturen eines neuen Kalten Kriegs mit Aussicht auf heiße Stellvertreterkriege und Eskalation ab. Aber können die großen Menschheitsfragen wie Frieden, Sicherheit, soziale Ungleichheit, sozialer Zusammenhalt, Demokratie, Nachhaltigkeit, Klimaschutz und Artensterben warten? Ingar Solty zeigt Ursachen und Hintergründe der Krise auf - und Alternativen für eine bessere Zukunft für alle.

Perspectives on Development in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region

This book offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary account of Iran’s changing energy landscape and the closely connected challenges of governance, sustainable development, and geopolitics. Rather than examining these issues in isolation, it brings together technical, socioeconomic, institutional, and environmental perspectives. The book explores the contrast between Iran’s vast hydrocarbon wealth and its deepening energy crisis, examining the burden of energy subsidies, the slow expansion of renewable energy, and the growing pressures created by water scarcity and climate change. It also proposes practical reform strategies that recognize both domestic institutional constraints and external political and economic pressures.The analysis extends beyond Iran’s borders to consider the strategic importance of regional energy chokepoints and transportation corridors. Particular attention is given to the Strait of Hormuz, both as a vital artery for global energy trade and as a source of geopolitical leverage and vulnerability. The book also examines how emerging connectivity projects—including the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), the International North–South Transport Corridor, and the Trans-Caspian Middle Corridor—could reshape regional trade, energy transit, and Iran’s position within evolving Eurasian supply chains.Written for academics, policymakers, industry specialists, investors, and practitioners, the book combines critical policy analysis, technical assessment, and scenario-based research to clarify the choices facing Iran and their consequences for the wider region. Amid sanctions, geopolitical tensions, vulnerable infrastructure, and mounting domestic shortages, Iran’s energy transition is far more than a technological or environmental challenge: it is a test of the country’s economic resilience, institutional capacity, and regional strategy. By tracing the connections among domestic reform, energy security, environmental sustainability, transit diplomacy, and regional cooperation, the book fills an important gap in the literature and provides a timely guide to Iran’s evolving place in regional and global energy affairs.

Iran’s Energy Transition Under Constraint

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.

This volume explores a diverse array of cultural contexts to understand how vulnerabilities were involved in survival, domination, representation, relationality, agency, and humanity. Viewed as a prospect to be grasped rather than as a limit to be overcome, vulnerability has emerged as a key concept—a framework for thinking about a myriad of phenomena—in anthropology, sociology, psychology, and bioethics. In Changing Vulnerability, contributors focus on objects; sense and representation; relationships that enable, inhibit, and exploit agency; humanity and human faculty; nonsense; colonial domination; and engagement with the biosphere. These different facets of vulnerability variously co-occur, clash, highlight, obscure, enable, or disable contingent on their social and historical context.

Governance and Public Management

This book examines public administration in Argentina. Bringing together leading scholars from across the country and beyond, it provides key recommendations for improving public sector effectiveness, strengthening strategic capacities, and fostering more responsive and inclusive governance. The book also aims to reinsert Argentina into global debates around public management, civil service reform, and administrative capacity. At a time when public administration in Argentina is currently "under siege" due to radical austerity, it provides important insights into broader international debates on democratic backsliding, policy dismantling, and the rise of the new right. In doing so, the book offers important insights for academics examining public administration in turbulent and contested political environments, as well as policymakers, civil servants, and practitioners.Nelson Cardozo
