“
 Propaganda Studies in Criminology 
 constructs a missing bridge between the two critical discourses of the 20th century that most candidly confronted the emotional and moral features of populism in politics and penalty in the 20th century the confluence of which is now unmistakable in the 21st. Scholars of both fields will owe an enormous debt to this collection and its editors.”

 , Lance Robbins Professor of Criminal Justice Law, UC Berkeley Law, USA
 “This is a ground-breaking collection that showcases what can be gained by using propaganda studies as the lens through which to enliven the criminological imagination. The editors and the contributing authors have produced a text of remarkable range and sophistication, transforming our understanding of “fake news” and the politics of misinformation more generally. It is an outstanding achievement.” 
 -
 Eamonn Carrabine
 , Professor of Criminology, University of Essex, UK
 “A blazing volume that convincingly establishes propaganda as a crucial issue for criminology. The book constitutes a critical intellectual project tracing the common elements in Nazi messaging, the US War on Drugs, Indonesian genocide, far right environmental propaganda in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia and more.”

 “
 Propaganda Studies in Criminology 
 breaks new ground for the field by taking propaganda seriously as a topic. It does so in diverse and novel domains that open up the propaganda lens in a way that is theoretically fertile and substantively interesting.” 
 &nbsp;-John Braithwaite
 , Distinguished Professor, Australian National University, Australia
 This edited collection comprehensively introduces propaganda studies to criminology academics, practitioners and students. It brings to life the challenges of analyzing, researching and responding to the problems of propaganda. It uses a broad definition of ‘propaganda’ to include such phenomena as ‘fake news’ and AI or algorithmic methods of control. It includes some more classic readings and analysis of propaganda studies through contemporary case studies, such as the war on drugs. It provides a key resource for research and teaching.Deborah H.

Propaganda Studies in Criminology

Innovations, Evidence and Pathways Toward Equitable Development

Financial Inclusion for Viksit Bharat

African Studies and Research Forum Series

This monograph offers a detailed examination of the role of Chinese infrastructure development aid and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the economic growth of three key African countries: Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The author argues that a significant positive correlation exists between Chinese infrastructure aid and investment and the GDP growth in these countries. Furthermore, the author examines whether a dependency relationship exists between Chinese infrastructure aid and FDI in these nations. This point is crucial as it explores these economies' long-term sustainability and autonomy, questioning whether they are becoming over-reliant on Chinese aid and FDI. Using comparative analysis, the book discusses the impacts of China's infrastructure projects across both economic and social dimensions. This work is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who wish to understand the intricacies of China's involvement in Africa. It contributes to informed decision-making and policy formulation by shedding light on the impact of development through a well-rounded comparative perspective. The insights provided will benefit those involved in development economics, international relations, public policy, and African studies.

Impact on Development in Africa, with a Focus on Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Kenya

China's Infrastructure Aid and Investment

A novel perspective on monetary and fiscal policy that views money as the equity capital of a nation A conventional economic theory, monetarism, holds that inflation is a monetary phenomenon driven by changes in the supply of money. Yet recent experience—including the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008 and the economic development of China—contradicts this basic prediction. In this book, leading economists Patrick Bolton and Haizhou Huang offer a novel perspective, viewing monetary economics through the lens of corporate finance. They propose a rich theory of money supply where money can be seen as the equity capital of a nation, playing a similar role as stocks for a company. This innovative framework integrates the real and monetary sides of the economy, with a banking sector and debt at its core. In the financial world, companies issue new shares only if it results in some kind of value creation; this is a basic principle of corporate finance that Bolton and Huang argue can be applied to monetary economics. When the government increases the money supply to finance positive net value investments—when it prints money to keep the economy going—it increases output, not inflation. This is evidenced by the strong growth in GDP and money in China over the last four decades, and in the United States during World War II. The effect of increasing money supply, they argue, depends on how money enters the system and what the money buys. The principles outlined by Bolton and Huang shed new light on a range of issues, including inflation, monetary and fiscal policy, central banking, money and growth, and the international monetary system.

This book provides essential insights into national income accounting, balance of payments, foreign exchange markets, money supply and demand, and monetary policy principles.Econometrician Edward E. Ghartey begins the book by covering national income accounting and balance of payments. Chapters take readers through the foreign-exchange market and rational expectations, covering functions of money, monetary aggregates, and the determinants of money supply and demand. The text delves into the microeconomic foundations of money demand in developing countries, including an applied study using real data. It addresses the limitations of traditional IS-LM models and introduces a new aggregate demand curve using the Taylor principle. The book further explores the Phillips curve, and Okun’s law to derive aggregate supply curve; and the effects of monetary policy in open economies.Readers will gain a thorough understanding of complex economic concepts and models, including the development of new theoretical frameworks. The book provides practical examples and data analysis, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of macroeconomics and monetary policy.

Risk, Governance and Society

This book examines fair citizen participation as a key element of effective policy support. Over the past two decades, many countries have embraced more reflective and inclusive governance in environmental policymaking. 


This book demonstrates how democratic and deliberative approaches yield better policy outcomes than technocratic methods that only superficially engage the public. Reflective governance highlights the importance of deliberative democracy, offering fair and open discourse opportunities for all stakeholders. Throughout the chapters, some of the most renowned authors in the field present the principal mechanisms for public engagement in deliberative decision-making.


By exploring innovative formats like stakeholder round tables and citizen assemblies, this book provides practical guidance on their unique merits and limitations. It addresses scholars, practitioners, and representatives of administrations, public and private institutions, and NGOs interested in a better understanding of the selection and design of the most effective formats for competent and fair policymaking, ensuring each format meets its full potential.

A Critical Review of Formats for Deliberative Policymaking

Fairness and Competence in Citizen Participation

An authoritative and cutting-edge exploration of how land, transportation, and economic forces shape cities, regions, and the distribution of economic activities from a local to a global scale. Land, by its very nature, is immobile and unproduced, creating competition for prime locations that drives disparities in economic outcomes. Transportation, meanwhile, serves as the mechanism for overcoming spatial frictions but imposes costs that influence where firms and individuals choose to locate. Together, these factors explain the emergence and persistence of cities, regional disparities, and even global patterns of economic concentration. In Spatial Economics, Hans R.A. Koster, Stef Proost, and Jacques-François Thisse explore how cities, regions, and the global economy are shaped by the interplay between location, land use, and transportation. The authors examine why economic activities are clustered in large metropolitan areas and dispersed in vast areas, driven by the balance between the gains from concentration and various congestion and pollution costs. Blending classical theories with modern data and modeling approaches, the book addresses urbanization, spatial inequality, and the effects of policies like infrastructure investments and land regulations. Accessible yet rigorous, it offers valuable insights for understanding the geographic organization of economic activity in today's interconnected world.

This book analyses the role of actors that critically aid adjudicators at different stages of the dispute resolution process across 20 international dispute resolution bodies. Collectively referred to as 'dispute assistants' in the book, these actors are known by different names such as legal officers, référendaires, secretariat staff, registry staff, etc. The book uses doctrinal research, supplemented through interviews with relevant actors in each dispute resolution body, and delivers a holistic view of their everyday practice. The book provides a comparative study on the functions of dispute assistants at every stage of the dispute resolution process, revealing the widespread and critical nature of their work. It addresses the legitimacy concerns raised about the alleged influence dispute assistants may exercise over adjudicators as well as in the decision-making process. These concerns are traced across sources such as judicial/quasi-judicial decisions; statements or criticisms raised by States parties, academics, or practitioners; and concerns that arose in conversations with judges, dispute assistants, and other relevant actors. By employing a comparative lens, the book moves from concerns that are specific to individual dispute resolution bodies towards general concerns. By tapping into the wealth of comparative practices across dispute resolution bodies to navigate these legitimacy concerns, this essential book reframes the narrative that dispute assistants threaten the legitimacy of international dispute resolution, and proposes solutions to show how their expertise can be leveraged to strengthen the legitimacy of outcomes.
