Grasping the Changing Mood of the World

Global Cooperation in Times of Crisis

This book examines the resurgence of public banks and their critical role in addressing global climate and development-related challenges. Drawing from the lessons of the 2008-09 financial crisis, the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and most crucially, the COVID-19 pandemic, it provides a comprehensive analysis of how public banking institutions can effectively scale up and deliver climate-aligned development finance, at affordable rates and favourable terms.Through diverse case studies spanning national and multilateral public banks across both wealthy and developing regions, the volume employs multidisciplinary approaches and mixed methodologies to evaluate their capacity, mandate fulfilment, and accountability mechanisms. The research illuminates the complex power dynamics that determine who benefits from public banking initiatives and offers evidence-based insights for strengthening these institutions' ability to serve the public interest in the face of climate challenges.This volume will appeal to a diverse readership including policymakers and government officials involved in development, financial regulation, and climate policy; academics and researchers in economics, finance, political economy, business, and sustainable development; professionals working in public, private, and development banks; climate activists and NGOs focused on sustainable finance; and graduate students studying public finance, development economics, sustainability, and climate policy. The book provides valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding how public financial institutions can be leveraged to address the pressing challenges of climate change while promoting equitable development outcomes.

Development and Its Discontents is a critical examination of development studies' history and what it has become, and what it might yet be. It argues that the field is increasingly differentiated along competing modes of thought, worldviews, and claims to knowledge, bringing long-running debates about the study of development back into sharp focus. Drawing on cross-disciplinary thinking on development, from the rise of classical development economics and the anti-colonial momentum of the Bandung era to contemporary decolonial critiques, the book maps the intellectual currents that have shaped development studies and the tensions and debates that now structure it. The result is a framework for recognising the field's internal pluralism and for taking interdisciplinarity more seriously, without pretending that its disagreements are merely semantic. For scholars and students, Development and Its Discontents offers a guide to the intellectual architecture of development studies, its contested boundaries, and the questions now shaping its future.

Development and its Discontents

Most works on Asian or global studies adopt mainstream Neoclassical methods to explain economic and social development. However, quantitative and optimisation techniques are unable to provide a deep understanding of policy change between the West and East Asia. To fill the gap, this book uses evolutionary perspective to interpret economic and social transformations of two global powers, namely, the United States and China. Specifically, this book outlines the roles of culture, institutions and entrepreneurship in the analysis. Instead of logical empiricism in the English tradition, our approach is interpretative and storytelling in continental European tradition. In other words, we adopt hermeneutics and phenomenology in the analysis and apply humanity to economics. There are two aims of this book. First, it outlines the evolution of Austrian evolutionary economics and second, the role of learning in the decision-making process. It focuses on how decision makers learn and how good and bad learners are differentiated.

Cultural Differences between the West and East Asia and their Impacts on Global Economy

Understand how circular economy principles reshape business strategy and practice. The Circular Economy by Suzanne Smit and Uthayasankar Sivarajah is a practical and theory-informed textbook for postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students studying Circular Economy, Sustainable Business and related business and management courses. Aligned with contemporary module outcomes, it addresses why circular economy thinking is essential for modern business and how organizations can embed sustainability across core functions. The textbook examines how businesses can plan, implement and manage circular transitions by integrating circular economy principles, metrics and decision-making frameworks into everyday business activity. Structured around four interrelated stages, it explores strategic planning, resource organization, leadership and control mechanisms that enable organizations to move from linear to circular models. Real-world examples from Ikea, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, The Guararapes Group and Flying Tiger demonstrate how circular strategies are applied in practice across industries and regions. This textbook includes: - A four-part framework covering planning, organizing, leading and controlling circular economy initiatives - Clear explanations of circular economy theories, strategies and performance metrics - Application of circular principles to finance, operations, supply chain management and business storytelling - Real-world examples illustrating how organizations manage circular transitions &gt;Whether studying sustainable business or preparing for roles in strategy, operations or sustainability, this textbook equips students with the knowledge and practical insight needed to support and lead circular transformation in organizations.

Urban Future-Making

In an era of rapid change and growing uncertainty, we are facing an urgent question: How can cities be built for futures that defy prediction? The contributors to this volume tackle this challenge by exploring the role of contingency in urban future-making. Through a range of case studies, they examine relevant aims, strategies, and decision-making processes in both past and present contexts. They reveal how unexpected events and unpredictable factors unsettle established urban conditions but also spark new ideas and possibilities for rethinking and reshaping the city. The volume shows how urban future-making involves navigating highly uncertain environments and extreme conditions, opening new spaces of knowledge and action.

India's Political Economy @75

This book analyses laws distinctively normative contribution to place-making. In an original, cross-disciplinary, analysis drawing on scholarship in law, geography, philosophy and politics, Antonia Layard considers how law operates in the fixing of borders that both protect and exclude. Centred upon four legal case studies - on public space; housing regulation; rules on the manifestation of religion; and geographic indications in intellectual property law - the book pursues a critical geographical consideration of how place is integral to ideas about identity, belonging and territory.

Law, Place &amp; Maps: Balancing Protection and Exclusion analyse law’s distinctively normative contribution to place-making. In an original, cross-disciplinary, analysis drawing on scholarship in law, geography, philosophy and politics, Antonia Layard considers how, both formally and formally, law operates in the fixing of borders that both protect and exclude. Centred upon four legal case studies – on public space; housing regulation; rules on the manifestation of religion; and geographic indications in intellectual property law – the book pursues a critical geographical consideration of how place is integral to ideas about identity, belonging and territory. It will be of much interest to critical legal geographers and socio-legal scholars, as well as planning, environmental, intellectual property, housing and land use lawyers.
