A groundbreaking bridge between traditional financial theories and emerging interdisciplinary approaches, offering a unique perspective on finance in these uncertain times. From a seasoned expert in finance, behavioral finance, complexity science, and quantum finance. Adaptive Finance is a forward-looking exploration of the evolving world of finance, addressing the most pressing challenges and emerging trends facing financial markets today. It examines how traditional economic and financial models, long dominant in the field, are being redefined by advancements in behavioral science, mathematics, and technology. Financial professionals and academics must confront risks and dynamics that established theories often fail to capture in an era marked by complexity, technological disruption, and global uncertainty. This book provides the intellectual foundation needed to tackle these challenges. The chapters span a wide range of topics—from behavioral finance and causal models to quantum finance and innovations in financial systems—offering a comprehensive view of the forces reshaping finance. The book begins with well-established frameworks and progressively explores cutting-edge concepts, guiding readers through the transformation of financial theory and practice. Each chapter stands on its own, making the book suitable for both comprehensive study and selective reading. The authors present a timely perspective on how finance must adapt to a more complex and dynamic world.

Melland Schill Perspectives on International Law

Latin America has been a complex laboratory for the development of international investment law. While some governments and non-state actors have remained true to the Latin American tradition of resistance towards the international investment law regime, other governments and actors have sought to accommodate said regime in the region. Consequently, a profusion of theories and doctrines, too often embedded in clashing narratives, has emerged. In Latin America, the practice of international investment law is the vivid amalgamation of the practice of governments sometimes resisting and sometimes welcoming mainstream approaches; the practice of lawyers assisting foreign investors from outside and within the region; and the practice of civil society, indigenous peoples and other actors in their struggle for human rights and sustainable development. Latin America and international investment law describes the complex roles that governments have played vis-à-vis foreign investors and investments; the refreshing but clashing forces that international organizations, corporations, civil society, and indigenous peoples have brought to the field; and the contribution that Latin America has made to the development of the theory and practice of international investment law, notably in fields in which the Latin American experience has been traumatic: human rights and sustainable development. Latin American scholars have been contributing to the theory of international investment law for over a century; resting on the shoulders of true giants, this volume aims at pushing this contribution a little further.

A Mosaic of Resistance

Latin America and International Investment Law

Contemporary Asia in the World

In recent years, China and the United States have each turned economic interdependence into an instrument of coercion, using their dominant positions in international trade to push states and firms to comply with their political goals. What is distinctive about this form of economic pressure, and how can other countries fight back? This groundbreaking book explores the weaponization of economic interdependence and its implications for the international order through a wealth of new and original data on China's economic statecraft. Victor D. Cha, Ellen Kim, and Andy Lim examine how and in what ways the United States and China have deployed economic coercion, focusing on China's extensive use of this tactic over the past three decades. They analyze a vast data set that includes more than 600 cases of China's economic bullying of states, companies, and individuals in North America, Asia, and Europe. Cha, Kim, and Lim propose a multilateral strategy of "collective resilience" to counter intimidation, showing how targeted states can band together, leverage trading relationships, and threaten retaliation. Synthesizing new insights from unique trade data with international security expertise, this timely book sheds new light on how China exercises economic power--and it provides a playbook to deter bullies and rebalance the global order.

Resistance Through Collective Resilience

China's Weaponization of Trade

An eye-opening account of how the data-center boom is pushing our planet past its breaking point Underlying our seamless access to AI, cryptocurrency, and unlimited cloud storage is a hulking, costly physical infrastructure. Massive data centers full of energy-hungry chips and processors power everything we do online. Scrambling to meet dubious market demand, the tech giants have made our planet a bargaining chip in the next great race for a market monopoly. In Hyperscale, journalist Paris Marx uncovers the excesses of hyperscale data processing. He exposes the deceptive, exploitative ways tech companies are syphoning energy and resources from vulnerable communities in their pursuit of digital power, abandoning the pretense of social responsibility. Amid energy shortages and tech-induced battles over drinking water, Marx makes a powerful case for technology that promotes the social good over the bottom lines of tech billionaires. He joins the incredible efforts of people and social movements pushing back against the profit-driven interests of Big Tech, illuminating a path toward the sustainable future we all deserve. The AI boom and its infrastructural demands have accelerated our many modern catastrophes. With razor-sharp reporting and incisive analysis, Marx shows us that the greatest threat is not the specter of AI overlords but a global environmental disaster already in the making.

Angesichts des demografischen Wandels und eines steigenden Arbeitskräftemangels wird die Beschäftigung von Geflüchteten zu einer Chance für betriebliche Innovation und Wachstum. Doch gerade für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen, die nicht über umfangreiche HR-Ressourcen verfügen, kann der erste Schritt eine Herausforderung darstellen. Dieses Buch liefert praxisnahe Tools und Methoden, um diese Hürde zu überwinden und den ersten geflüchteten Mitarbeiter erfolgreich ins Team zu integrieren.

Der erste Teil des Buches gibt einen theoretischen Überblick über die Arbeitsmarktintegration von Geflüchteten in Österreich und Europa und wirft einen Blick auf die für den Arbeitsmarkt von Morgen besonders relevanten Gruppen, wie Frauen oder ukrainische Vertriebene. Es folgen praxisorientierte Tipps zur Rekrutierung und Integration, gestützt auf internationale Studien. Abschließend teilen Unternehmensvertreter:innen und Geflüchtete ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen und geben wertvolle Einblicke in erfolgreiche Integrationsstrategien. 

Das Buch richtet sich an Personalverantwortliche, Führungskräfte und Studierende der Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Es verbindet Theorie mit Praxis und ist damit ein wertvolles Nachschlagewerk für alle, die sich mit den Chancen und Herausforderungen der Integration beschäftigen.

Edition Politik

How do idealistic projects for shaping the world relate to the actual political organization of world politics? The contributors to this volume provide a fresh perspective on the formation of order in world politics. They develop and utilize the concept of ¿Worldmaking Projects¿ (WMPs). These are projects that throughout history have sought to advance specific visions of order, such as national, imperial, or international. A particular emphasis is put on the central, yet often overlooked role that infrastructures&nbsp;play&nbsp;in this regard. The nexus between infrastructures and worldmaking is explored in relation to different Worldmaking Projects, including those in the air and in space, as well as in the polar regions.

Wie kann kritischer sozialwissenschaftlicher Unterricht heute aussehen? Malte Suhr schließt an die Kritik der politischen Ökonomie von Karl Marx sowie zeitgenössische gesellschaftstheoretische Erweiterungen und Aktualisierungen an und entwickelt systematisch einen neuen fachdidaktischen Ansatz. Dabei beschränkt er sich nicht nur auf erkenntnis-, gesellschafts- und bildungstheoretische Grundlagen, sondern liefert auch Schlussfolgerungen für die Planung von Unterricht. Die Berücksichtigung des polit-ökonomischen Paradigmas schließt eine Lücke in der politik- und wirtschaftsdidaktischen Theoriebildung - und leistet gleichzeitig eine ausstehende methodisch-didaktische Konkretisierung kritischer politischer Bildung.

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book consisting of 24 chapters provides a comprehensive analysis of the complexities of women’s work in India. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary data sources it offers fresh perspectives on long-term patterns and emerging trends. It sheds light on trends in gender equality in employment, the stubbornly low Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR), the continued invisibility of women’s work, and the shortcomings of official labour force surveys in capturing women’s economic contributions. It also explores gendered labour market barriers linked to caregiving responsibilities, social group identities, and the high unemployment rates among educated women. Several chapters address persistent issues of discrimination and inequality, including how rising educational attainment among women has shaped labour market outcomes.
It critically assesses the growing sectors of childcare and gig work, often viewed as potential pathways to better-paid employment for women, highlighting both their opportunities and limitations. Further, the book provides the policy measures required to enhance women’s labour participation; challenges specific to urban contexts and key policies related to public employment and social protection for women.
This volume is a valuable resource for researchers, civil society organisations, development practitioners, and policymakers working on women’s employment. It is equally relevant for educators and students in gender studies, labour economics, employment research, and development studies.
