The Persians

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Winners and Losers in the Low Growth Era

The Age of Plunder

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two lifelong peace activists and guides to Israel/Palestine, both of whom have lost family in the conflict, take readers on a revealing life-changing journey across this holy, bloodstained land and discover the mythic, political, and personal history that divides but also binds them and their peoples. “[A] short but immensely poignant account of a shared journey across Israel and the West Bank . . . raw with pain and rage and yet bravely insistent on the imperative of hope.”—The New York Times “We do not see ourselves as Palestinians and Israelis, or as Jews and Arabs, but as human beings who believe in fostering a culture of dialogue, a culture of forgiveness, and a culture of peace. To those who see only division lines, we say: If you must divide us, let it be as those who believe in peace and equality and those who don’t ... yet.” Palestinian Aziz Abu Sarah and Israeli Maoz Inon forged a bond of brotherhood when the world expected them to be enemies. Both have lost family to the conflict. Both have known the bitterness of righteous anger. Yet, they chose a different path. In The Future Is Peace, Sarah and Inon take readers on a transformative weeklong journey across a sacred and bloodstained land. Facing competing narratives, they explore how compassion and unity can pull humanity back from the precipice of blind hatred. Throughout their travels, they have been constantly asked: In the face of so much loss, how can we ever find hope? Their answer is always the same. One cannot find hope. We must create it. This book is a rebuttal to a broken world and a bold challenge to the belief that more violence can ever bring security. Told with unflinching honesty, their story is proof that peace is not a naive dream, but a courageous choice—for reconciliation to heal the wounds of revenge, for partnerships to change a destiny of war, and for empathy to save us from drowning in sorrow. Pairing unapologetic candor and inspirational prose, Sarah and Inon are sending an urgent message that the people have the power to make change. Peace is inevitable. For Palestinians, for Israelis, and for the world that awaits their example, it is not just possible—it is the future.

A Shared Journey Across the Holy Land

The Future Is Peace

What if the next global crisis is already here—and we’re still tackling it with yesterday’s tools? This book confronts this question head-on, offering a bold, multidimensional rethinking of how humanity can navigate overlapping emergencies—pandemics, climate collapse, deepening inequality—without sacrificing sovereignty or dignity. Drawing on original contributions from leading scholars and activists across five continents, this book delivers an in-depth, comparative analysis of real-world legal, political, and community responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the worsening global crisis. The chapters trace how crises magnify structural vulnerabilities, expose failures in governance, and simultaneously reveal unexpected spaces for resistance and innovation—from Indigenous legal activism in Brazil and civic water-protection initiatives in India and Costa Rica, to evolving greenhouse-gas regulation in the United States and Brazil, and the still-unrealised potential of cooperation within the BRICS countries. The approach used is deliberately multidimensional: no single discipline’s or nation-state’s perspective dominates. Instead, the authors weave together legal theory, political philosophy, environmental justice, and on-the-ground empirical insights to challenge unidimensional thinking and propose practical pathways toward coordinated pluralism. Particular attention is given to the tension between sovereignty and shared responsibility, the relational nature of dignity in times of triage and scarcity, and the urgent need for multiscalar governance that learns across borders rather than replicating national silos. This book will be of considerable interest to researchers and scholars of international law, climate justice, human rights, global governance, and political theory—and to activists, policymakers, and practitioners seeking intellectually rigorous yet actionable responses to the polycrisis we already find ourselves in. Perspectives on Crises does not offer easy answers. Rather, it equips readers with more precise questions—and more honest tools—to help them face what comes next.

A Multidimensional Approach to Law and Politics

Perspectives on Crises

This book explores the complexity of cities as sites of warfare and investigates the ever-growing challenges for Disaster Risk Management (DRM). Through analysis of existing literature, media coverage and in-depth case studies, this title investigates the vulnerabilities of growing cities, the consequences citizens face in crises, and the effectiveness of DRM systems.
By depicting the serious global security problems that test systems of culture, governance, war and peace practices, this book encourages discussion around the present and future condition of cities. The volume investigates the impacts of urban warfare and argues for the implementation of effective DRM systems that are based on understanding of disaster risk in all its dimensions, achieved through well-designed training programs employing the latest teaching-learning theories and agile methodologies.

On a bright summer day in 1989 New England, Abi, three years old, vanishes from her aunt's secluded home. Upstairs, her young cousins are looking out of the window. Something is unfolding in the distance at the edge of the forest - something sinister that is watching them back. The adults don't seem to notice that the youngest of the group has disappeared. Too busy bickering over politics and reminiscing about the family's domineering late matriarch, Beezy, they leave the children with no choice but to get Abi back themselves. As the cousins embark on a quest through their grandmother's sprawling estate, buried family secrets come to light and long-awaited plans are set in motion. Will they lose themselves while trying to find her? Idle Grounds is a chilling, evocative and darkly comic debut about childhood, legacy, and the burdens and privileges we carry with us.

Idle Grounds

The everyday realities of financial and work insecurity that drive right- and left-wing populism

In Insecurity Politics, Lorenza Antonucci examines the lived, everyday experiences that underpin political disaffection. Countering the reductive portrayals of populist voters as left-behind outsiders, Antonucci focuses on the ordinary, yet increasingly precarious, realities of work and financial instability as key to understanding the surge in populist support in both right- and left-wing politics. Drawing on robust comparative quantitative and qualitative analyses across nine European countries, Insecurity Politics describes the microlevel material and cultural dynamics that drive anti-establishment politics. It finds that dissatisfaction with work and a growing sense of financial insecurity fuel populist sentiments.

Antonucci maps the evolving landscape of insecurity in contemporary Europe, tracing its roots to structural transformations of welfare states and deep-seated cultural shifts. Proposing an original framework that combines cultural and economic explanations, the book shows how economic, social, and political factors shape receptivity to anti-establishment politics. Moving beyond conventional wisdom that attributes today’s populism to cultural backlash or globalization, Antonucci addresses a critical blind spot in current research. But Insecurity Politics offers more than a mere diagnosis; it also argues that a nuanced understanding of populist attitudes could inform a renewed political agenda—one more attuned to the complex realities of people's lives.

Very Slowly All at Once

Modern Studies in European Law

This book explores discretionary decision-making in migration systems in Europe. It investigates how European law influences the existence, exercise and effects of discretion.

Firstly, it argues that national lawmakers often regard discretionary decision-making as the most viable option to accommodate standards of European law in their national migration systems. Secondly, the book shows how the exercise of this power has changed from an area of free choice to an instance of legally instructed decision-making. Ultimately, it illustrates how both the proliferation and transformation of discretionary decision-making have improved the legal position of migrants in the European Union, providing a compelling interpretation of a key field of EU law.

Laboratorium Aufklärung

Was stellen wir uns vor, wenn wir von Aufklärung sprechen, und welche konkreten Vorstellungsbilder verbinden wir damit? Aufklärung ist ein historisches Phänomen und zugleich eine bis heute wirkmächtige soziale Imagination. Um ihre Attraktivität zu verstehen, richtet dieser Band den Blick auf die kollektiv geteilten Vorstellungsbilder der Aufklärung. Er untersucht, mit welchen Mitteln sie erzeugt wurden und werden, wie sie kulturelle Orientierung stiften und wie sie gemeinsame Handlungs- und Denkräume eröffnen. Die Beiträge aus Geschichts-, Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Soziologie beziehen sich sowohl auf die Formationsphase der Aufklärung im 18. Jahrhundert als auch auf ausgewählte Stationen ihrer Wirkungsgeschichte. Aufklärung als soziale Imagination zu analysieren, ermöglicht neue Erkenntnisse über ihre Entstehung und ihren Durchsetzungserfolg, aber auch über die ästhetischen Qualitäten und Dynamiken der beteiligten Bilder und Texte, Medien und Praktiken.

Aufklärung als soziale Imagination

Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Banking and Financial Institutions

This book introduces resilience-based concepts and high reliability organization (HRO) principles—adapted from disruption-prone industries—to improve risk management for tail or extreme events in U.S. globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs). HROs thrive in volatile environments by prioritizing adaptability, vigilance, resilience, and safety. Given that both G-SIBs and disruption-prone companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex settings, there is a shared need for risk management techniques centered on resilience engineering to anticipate and mitigate unexpected extreme events. While G-SIBs are "too big to fail" and provide valuable insights into resilience in high-stakes scenarios, these approaches can benefit banks of all sizes facing similar risks.
The book explores the social world of banking and management, emphasizing the subjective nature of risk as people interpret events differently. Through surveys, interviews, and case studies, the research identifies growing interest in non-predictive risk methods for bank resilience. It recommends supplementing existing quantitative risk models with a transdisciplinary approach focused on non-predictive HRO principles to help banks prevent and mitigate extreme risks. The study finds that current G-SIB risk methods rely heavily on quantitative models, which may create a false sense of security. Additionally, extreme events are increasingly compound and often driven by human behavior. The book targets scholars and professionals seeking advances in resilience engineering within banking.
