This book provides a novel judicial framework for receiving and considering religious and cultural claims in shaping human rights in constitutional secular democracies. It does this through an extended case study of the Indian constitutional jurisprudence. Abortion and surrogacy, LGBTQ + rights, sex work and euthanasia are arguably the most controversial human rights issues of our time. They all invite passionate religious and cultural debate but are not themselves religious or cultural rights issues. Instead, they pose a fundamental constitutional question: How far can religion and culture go in shaping general human rights in secular constitutional democracies? Moving beyond the logic of individual rights, this book provides an integrated and holistic approach to answering this classic question of constitutional law. To do this, it proposes an innovative empirically backed normative-theoretical framework which synthesises insights from cultural psychoanalysis, feminist legal scholarship, socio-legal method, constitutional law, evidence law, and political theory. It looks at a unique constellation of cases belonging to eight different human rights themes covering the period since India's independence in 1947 and systematically analyses the religious and cultural claims made in those cases. It finds that in India, a more holistic approach to answering our classic constitutional puzzle requires a simultaneous consideration of three different theories: A theory of constitutional interpretation which formulates restrictions on a judge considering religious and cultural claims in fundamental rights cases; A theory of judicial notice which determines when such claims can be admitted without proof; A theory of secularism and public reason which argues that the claims must be given weight in the final decision only if they match defensible conceptions of constitutional values. The book develops these theories and applies them to the Indian cases, providing an innovative approach to an age-old question.

New Perspectives on Chinese Politics and Society

This book develops a conceptual and analytical framework for understanding persistent regional divergence in innovation performance. Instead of treating inequality as a measurable outcome, this book introduces the concept of structural asymmetry as an underlying mechanism embedded in knowledge capacity, institutional coordination, and opportunity structures. This book seeks to move beyond descriptive cluster studies and fragmented empirical cases by offering a transferable theoretical architecture that can be applied across national contexts. This book also examines how contemporary global transitions—such as digitalization, demographic change, and climate transformation—interact with pre-existing regional structures. By linking long-term divergence with institutional governance and emerging technological shifts, this book aims to provide both theoretical depth and policy relevance for scholars, graduate students, and practitioners concerned with regional innovation and structural transformation.Chen Qi
 is an associate professor at Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance. Her research focuses on regional innovation systems, industrial economics, and structural transformation. She has published widely on China’s regional innovation patterns, governance structures, and industrial upgrading trajectories. In this book, she developed the core theoretical framework and analytical architecture and led the conceptual design and integration of the structural asymmetry approach based on qualitative materials, including policy documents, secondary data, and expert interviews.

Theory and Applications from China

A Framework for Asymmetric Regional Innovation

Ist der Meeresboden längst schon zum politischen Schlachtfeld geworden?Die Welt ist auf ein Netz von Unterwasserleitungen auf dem Meeresboden angewiesen. Jeden Tag übertragen Tiefseekabel nahezu sämtliche Daten der Welt, während interkontinentale Pipelines zwei Drittel des weltweiten Öls und Gastransports bewältigen. Sie erfüllen ihre Aufgaben so zuverlässig, dass kaum jemand vermuten würde, dass sich "die Cloud" tatsächlich unter Wasser befindet oder dass die globale wirtschaftliche Stabilität von diesen Unterwasserleitungen auf dem Meeresboden abhängt. Doch es tobt längst ein erbitterter Kampf um die Kabel und Pipelines. Krieg in der Tiefe erzählt die Geschichte der Unterwasserinfrastruktur, die unser tägliches Leben ermöglicht: Nach Jahrzehnten scheinbarer Harmonie unter Wasser explodierten im Jahr 2022 auf mysteriöse Weise zwei Pipelines in der Ostsee. Innerhalb weniger Monate signalisierten die Unterbrechung der Datenverbindungen zwischen den taiwaneischen Matsu-Inseln und der Welt sowie die anschließende Zerstörung weiterer Kabel in der Ostsee, dass die Harmonie in den Tiefen des Ozeans endgültig vorbei ist.Packend und informativ erklärt die preisgekrönte Sicherheitsexpertin Elisabeth Braw, weshalb sich der nächste Kampf der Supermächte um die globale Vorherrschaft auf dem Meeresboden abspielen wird.

Sabotage, Machtkämpfe und die neue Bedrohung unter Wasser

Krieg in der Tiefe

This open access book demonstrates that in a large and diverse country like Indonesia, sustained national growth is difficult to achieve without accelerating the growth of its lagging regions. Conventional economic prescriptions-monetary and fiscal stimulus, trade liberalization, and deregulation of the real sector-are insufficient on their own. When national growth rises because lagging regions catch up, the result is an inclusive growth trajectory. &nbsp; Yet even this is not enough. Higher output does not automatically translate into improved human welfare across regions. A welfare indicator such as the Human Capital Index (HCI) offers a far more meaningful measure than GDP because it captures both the current and future productivity of people. Ultimately, development is not defined by what a country produces, but by what its people become. &nbsp; Using a spatial modeling framework and panel data, the book identifies the key determinants of regional HCI-education, stunting rates, and the dominance of the mining sector. It further argues that because the majority of Indonesian workers are concentrated in the low productivity retail trade sector, any policy seeking to raise welfare at scale must begin by improving productivity in this sector. This is not a peripheral concern; it is a central condition for broad based welfare gains, with the potential to transform the ordinary backbone of the economy into an engine of shared human advancement.

Bridging Distances Through People-First Human Capital

The Quiet Engine of Growth

Drawing on broader legal-political discourses within the party-state and institutionalised academia, this book shines a light on one of the most controversial legal principles in Chinese criminal justice: the presumption of innocence. It argues the reasons why there is no presumption of innocence in China, tracing the curve, or evolution, of academic discourse about presumption of innocence against the backdrop of changing politics, or varying emphases on national conditions, from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping. The book deepens our understanding of the trajectory of criminal justice reforms in the party-state and shows how the more open and liberal phases of the reform era opened up some space for pluralist views and constructive criticism. In comparison, the second wave of autocratisation of the system influenced the conception of the criminal and paved the way for an illiberal turn.

Russland, China, USA, NATO – wie geht es weiter in der Welt?Die Zukunft erscheint offener, furchteinflößender als vor wenigen Jahren. Wie sie aussieht, hängt nicht nur von Russland und den USA ab, sondern von einer großen Anzahl von Akteuren. Wir bekommen so das Gefühl zurück, dass auch wir eine Rolle in unserer eigenen Zukunft spielen, indem wir uns bewusst machen, was wir tatsächlich wissen, was wir nicht wissen und durch Annahmen ersetzt haben, und vor allem, welche Handlungsoptionen es gibt.Florence Gaub lädt dazu ein, selbst außenpolitische Entscheidungen zu treffen: Anstatt nur Zuschauer mehr oder weniger plausibler Szenarien zu sein, folgt man unterschiedlichen Entscheidungspfaden. Das Buch vermittelt Einblicke in mögliche Entscheidungsprozesse und ein Gefühl der Selbstbestimmung.So wird Außenpolitik konkret und anschaulich: Krisenherde, Handlungsmöglichkeiten, Folgen

Szenario

This book examines why the liberal international order, once seemingly unassailable, now confronts existential questions in the twenty-first century's opening decades. It shows how the rise of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), BRICS, and Bitcoin-the '3 Bs'- has signalled a fundamental shift in global power dynamics and governance frameworks. It analyzes how these three externalities challenge core assumptions about international cooperation, economic governance, and hegemonic leadership. They also posit alternative visions: infrastructure-led connectivity, multipolar economic alliances, and decentralized financial systems that bypass traditional Western institutions. Moving beyond nostalgia or triumphalism, it explores what frameworks might emerge as the world transitions from unipolarity-and whether liberal internationalism can adapt, reform, or must yield to fundamentally different organizing principles for global order.The volume will be of great interest to researchers and students of politics and international relations, development studies and international organizations. Accessible and comprehensive, it will also be of interest to general readers.

Changing Power Dynamics

3 Bs and a Crumbling World Order

In a moment of interlocking and compounding crises that many commentators have aptly termed the "polycrisis," a leading economist offers a clear-eyed account of the underlying trends fueling the global instability and market mayhem that have come to characterize contemporary capitalism. 
 
Rampant inequality. Unchecked climate change. A global pandemic. And now, seething international divisions and the escalatory spiral of war and state violence. As the world moves toward the end of the 2020s, each of the pieces of this mosaic are becoming impossible to ignore, but how do they all fit together? And where is it all heading? 
 
To answer these questions, Marxist economist Michael Roberts draws on his forty-plus years of experience working in various financial institutions in the City of London to provide an empirically grounded and wide-ranging appraisal of the global situation. 
 
Roberts takes readers on a tour of the contemporary global economy, first by turning back to the Great Recession of 2008, and then offering a granular look at the economic priorities and contradictions of every region of the world. 
 
What emerges from this accounting of the polycrisis is the inescapable fact that capitalism's rapacious drive toward profit over and against any geopolitical boundaries or ecological limits threatens both humanity and the planet.&nbsp;

Depression, Polycrisis, and the World Economy in the 2020s

Time Is Running Out

For decades, the US assumed ideas would naturally flow from research into commercialization. That assumption no longer holds. As Anne Marie Knott shows, the US innovation system is no longer fit for purpose in an age of great-power rivalry. Since 1980, American R&amp;D productivity has fallen dramatically, while China has become far better at turning R&amp;D into growth. Why? Because the two countries operate from fundamentally different models of innovation. The United States follows a 'river' logic: produce frontier science and trust the market to carry discoveries downstream. China follows a 'lake' logic: absorb, develop, diffuse, and capture value. Drawing on new empirical research and a widely applicable measure of R&amp;D productivity, Knott challenges seven myths shaping US innovation policy and offers a reform agenda built less on new spending than on using existing tools far more effectively. The result is a provocative account of innovation, growth, and national power.
