Revisiting Globalization and the Rise of Global Production Networks

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 1. Introduction.- Chapter 2. Globalization Revisited.- Chapter 3. Protectionism and Global Production Networks.- Chapter 4. Globalization and Trade Stability.- Chapter 5. Globalization and Development.- Chapter 6. Globalization Under Siege: Inequality, democracy, and sovereignty.- Chapter 7. Conclusion.&lt;/p&gt;

This open access book examines the role of international law in Central Asian affairs and sheds new light on human rights issues in Central Asian politics. It provides various case studies on Central Asian countries, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The book is divided into eight parts: Part I sets the context, and places the subsequent chapters in a broader context of decolonisation and development. Part II offers an overview of the role of international law in Central Asia, its relationship with domestic law, and the role of international organisations in its development in the region. Part III discusses selected issues pertaining to regional security. Part IV discusses some human rights developments in Central Asia, including social and economic, labour, digital, and family rights. Part V is devoted to international criminal law, and offers an overview of Uzbekistan´s experience in combating money laundering. Part VI on international trade and investment law discussed the WTO rules on fisheries subsidies, taxation in Central Asia, and stabilisation clauses in mining contracts. Part VII deals with international legal standards of animal welfare, and discusses several environmental case studies in Central Asia. Finally, Part VIII discusses the role of international law as an academic discipline in the region.

Governing China in the 21st Century

‘China’s Urban–Rural Relations: Myths, Lessons, and Legacy of the New-Type Urbanisation Plan’ offers a critical and timely examination of one of the most ambitious transformation agendas of the 21st century. The book examines how China's New-Type Urbanisation Plan has changed the connection between cities and the countryside—spatially, economically, institutionally, and socially—moving beyond celebratory narratives and crude criticisms. This book fundamentally questions the notion that urbanisation is a neutral or consistently advantageous development. It contends that although China's approach has brought about previously unheard-of levels of scale, speed, and connection, it has also resulted in uneven outcomes, enduring inequality, and contentious forms of integration. As described above, urban-rural change is a complicated and frequently conflicting process influenced by distributional dynamics, institutional frameworks, and governance decisions rather than a straight line toward equilibrium. Architects, planners and scholars will find it of interest.Ali Cheshmehzangi
 is Professor and Head of the School of Architecture, Design and Planning at The University of Queensland, Australia. His research focuses on urban sustainability, climate resilience, and the evolving relationships between cities, communities, and technological systems. He has authored and edited more than 70 academic books and published extensively on sustainable urbanism, urban transformation, and the future of cities. His work on China draws on extensive research and academic experience, critically examining the country’s rapid urbanisation, urban–rural transformation, and governance practices within wider debates on sustainable development, carbon neutrality, and long-term urban and regional change.

A Wild Last Boss Appeared! / Der schwarzgeflügelte Overlord

200 Jahre, nachdem der schwarzgeflügelte Overlord von Helden gestürzt wurde, kehrt sie zurück und rettet nun die Welt der Helden?!

Im Jahr 2800 des Midgard-Kalenders herrschte eine absolute Monarchin, die im Begriff war, die Welt zu unterwerfen: Lufas Mafahl, der schwarzgeflügelte Overlord. Doch schließlich wurde sie von Helden gestürzt, und ihr Ehrgeiz und ihre Herrschaft fanden ein jähes Ende. 
So verlief die Geschichte der MMO-Spielfigur unseres Protagonisten, die als wilder Last Boss von anderen Spielern so gefürchtet war, dass sie die Präsenz des offiziellen Last Boss vergaßen. Nach der Niederlage wird der Spieler von der Schöpfergöttin in die Welt des Spiels verschleppt und erwacht im Körper von seiner Spielfigur Lufas 200 Jahre nach ihrer Niederlage. 
Jetzt durchstreift er eine Welt, die längst Frieden gefunden haben sollte, und entdeckt so die düstere Wahrheit: Eine neue Bedrohung erhebt sich...

Der schwarzgeflügelte Overlord

A Wild Last Boss Appeared! 04

Celebrate springtime and the beauty of life with this hopeful and inspiring picture book. “We wait for so long, and when they finally come, the petals fall so quickly. Mono no aware, ne?” &nbsp; “What does that mean, mono no aware?” &nbsp; Little Yuna can’t wait for her great-grandmother’s cherry tree to bloom. She and her hībāchan spend each day outside, watching the tree’s flowers unfurl. But once the tree blooms, the moment is so brief before it loses its petals again—this is what her hībāchan calls mono no aware. It isn’t until her great grandmother—and the petals she loves—are gone that Yuna finally understands what the phrase really means: an awareness of something's impermanence.&nbsp; Critically acclaimed illustrator Yas Imamura of&nbsp;Love in the Library&nbsp;has created stunning artwork to accompany this profound text. Readers will love pouring over these pages again and again!

“Seddon and Imsirovic provide a sophisticated and empirically rich account of the actors, institutions, and conflicts that make up the ‘pay-to-play’ governance system of the Brent price benchmark. Their book deserves to be widely read.”
 —William Boyd

 “
 The Governed Price of Oil
 is a lighthouse for understanding prices, the heart of markets, and the organizing force of contemporary economies. A must read for understanding economies revolving around the sun of prices.”

 Market Threads
 “‘Prices are made, not found’—the key argument of this fascinating study. Seddon and Imsirovic take us behind the scenes of oil prices of huge economic and geopolitical significance.”

 The price of oil is not discovered—it is made. Benchmarks like Brent crude are produced for profit, from information supplied by the very firms with an interest in shaping them. How can such a price be trusted, and who governs it?
 
 This book argues that benchmark authority rests on a “pay-to-play” bargain: firms bear the costs of price making because access confers influence, information, and trading advantage, while governors such as Platts and ICE set the rules. Those rules must channel traders’ opportunism, not eliminate it—too little latitude and participation withers; too much and the system curdles into manipulation. Comparing Brent with rival benchmarks, enduring and failed, and combining quantitative analysis, archival research, and insider interviews, this book reveals how the price that moves the world economy is actually made.

Japanese Springtime

Ian had resolved to live a life of quiet anonymity, until an unexpected encounter with a mystifying noble turned his life upside down… Corruption in Derwin is worse than originally thought as Ian and Jack uncover a human-trafficking ring spreading from Dewin to Jack's land of Archaia. Determined to help uncover the corruption but still serve Cardinal Brixton, Ian continues to play a double agent as he works for the Knights Templar by day and Jack's spy at night. His struggle to maintain his dual identities hits a wall when the Knights Templar invade a hoax charity event that Ian and Jack are undercover at in order to catch the perpetrators. Ian must now decide if he will help the Knights Templar or his new friend who he has begun to develop a deep and powerful connection with.&nbsp; The second volume in this high-stakes series continues Ian's personal journey of self-discovery while finding his rightful place in a world filled with magic, corruption, and moral dilemmas.

This is volume 2 of the series.   Ian Gloucester has always believed he was cursed to live as a destructive monster.

Routledge Studies in Global Land and Resource Grabbing

This book critically examines the driving forces, discourses, and conflicts surrounding Chinese investments in overseas farmland, with a specific focus on Australia.With growing amounts of finance channeled into the purchase of overseas food and farming assets, China has become a frontrunner in the global land rush. Unlike much of the existing literature that focuses on emerging economies such as Brazil or Africa, this book examines Chinese farmland purchases in the developed country context of Australia. Based on four years of extensive field work in Australia and China, it traces the encounters and interactions between investors, regulators, deal brokers, farmers, and eaters that shape the ways in which individual Chinese investment projects materialize in the Australian countryside. In contrast to conventional wisdom portraying China's overseas land rush as a state-led strategy to feed the Chinese population, this book reveals that Chinese investments in Australian farmland have been propelled by the intersecting interests of international finance and business elites looking to cash in on booming Chinese demand for high-quality, Western food products. This book provides a unique transnational perspective on China's overseas farmland purchases and shows how Chinese farmland investments produce uneven geographies of agri-food globalization that cut across national borders. Through the lens of China's agri-engagement in Australia, this book advances our theoretical understanding of the new types of power relations and dynamics shaping an increasingly multi-polar agri-food system.This book will be useful to students and scholars of agri-food studies, Chinese studies and globalization with an interest in the global land rush and the shifting contours of the global agri-food system.

This fourth title in this innovative series establishes connections between jurisdictions which would not conventionally 'speak' to one another, on topics which would not otherwise have been discussed. Over four parts, it looks at questions of: trusts actors; trusts applications; trusts environments; and trusts futures. Chapters are co-written by two (or more) authors, to give a novel perspective on comparative trusts law. This approach allows for a rigorous, systematic exploration of the varied ways in which trusts law manifests across the Asia-Pacific region. An expert and welcome new addition to this leading book series in comparative private law.

Asia-Pacific Trusts Law, Volume 4

A Financial Times Best Book of the Year A groundbreaking exploration of the shifting landscape of technological innovation and how it has transformed into a global phenomenon, challenging the traditional dominance of Silicon Valley. The US is the source of just about all the technologies that define modern life: personal computers, operating systems, smartphones, e-commerce, web browsers, email, search engines, social networks, electric cars, and the rest. And most of the tech companies that created and monetized these technologies are also in the US. In this book, Mehran Gul, the winner of the Financial Times/McKinsey Bracken Bower Prize, asks: is that changing? Less than a decade ago, the sentiment towards Chinese tech compa­nies was often dismissive and complacent. Now the alarm bells are ringing. But as the commentariat pontificates how the US–China tech battle will play out, an equally interesting question to ask is: are there more Chinas out there? Samsung, a South Korean conglomerate, competes with Apple to be the world’s largest manufacturer of smart phones. Arm, founded in the UK, develops chip designs that are used in more than 90% of all mobile devices. Spotify, based in Sweden, is the most popular music streaming service in the world. That’s not all. The world’s most important semiconductor company, TSMC, is in Taiwan. The other most important company in the semiconductor industry, ASML, is in the Netherlands. Some of the world’s best-known games like Minecraft, Candy Crush, and Angry Birds came from gaming studios in the Nordics. Nearly all the major electric battery manufacturers like CATL, LG, and SK On are in Asia. This is a story about technology and the places where it finds its way into the world. Silicon Valley has for half a century been unrivalled in spinning out technologies and fast-growing, high-value, billion-dollar-plus tech companies—the Apples, Facebooks, Googles of the world—that made it the center for the most rapid creation of wealth in human history. Its secrets are spreading to more places. The geography of innovation is shifting. The world has a lot more high-value tech companies than ever before, growing a lot faster than ever before, in a lot more places than ever before. This is a book about these places.

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a conservation approach designed to ensure that any development or land-use change results in a measurable increase in biodiversity compared to the baseline conditions prior to the project. This concept transcends the traditional mitigation of environmental impacts, emphasising the enhancement and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. Biodiversity Net Gain Law and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal frameworks and policies that govern the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. This book explores the intersection of environmental, planning, and development laws and highlight how these regulations work together to ensure sustainable development and conservation efforts. It looks at key legislation such as the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the National Planning Policy Framework. Through case studies, legal analysis, and policy discussions, this book illustrates the practical applications and challenges of implementing biodiversity laws, and compares their success in the UK, Europe, India, Australia, Japan and South Africa. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.
