How to Win a Trade War

Der Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs hat die im Kalten Krieg entstandene Teilung Europas zwar aufgehoben, doch das volle Potenzial seiner Wiedervereinigung hat der Kontinent bis heute nicht ausgeschöpft. Was wäre dieses einige und solidarische Europa für ein Ort? Dazu müssen wir - wie 1989 - weit über die täglichen politischen und ökonomischen Realitäten hinaus denken und das demokratische Europa als eine kulturelle Erfahrung verstehen; als eine Gemeinschaft von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern, die sich den auf den Trümmern des totalitären Jahrhunderts entstandenen Menschenrechten verpflichtet fühlen. Basil Kerski schreibt eine kleine Geschichte und Gegenwartskunde der ost-westeuropäischen Beziehungen und zeigt auf, wie maßgeblich kulturelle Annäherungen sie beeinflussen. Er plädiert für eine Neubestimmung des Verhältnisses von Ost und West in Zeiten der Erosion des transatlantischen Bündnisses, um die 1989 begonnene demokratische Revolution auf europäischer Ebene fortzusetzen.

Ost und West neu denken

Sehnsucht nach Europa

Introduces a data-driven framework for measuring governance through a fourteen-component Macro-Governance Index, demonstrating its strong predictive power for national development outcomes and offering practical tools to diagnose governance gaps and guide policy interventions.
Every year, governments borrow trillions, spend billions on development programs, and publish volumes of economic statistics-yet no widely accepted framework exists for answering a deceptively simple question: is governance actually working? Traditional approaches rely on subjective expert assessments or narrowly focused indices that measure inputs rather than outcomes. Macro-Governance Theory proposes that governance can be measured with the same empirical rigor we bring to medicine, engineering, and economics-and that doing so is essential if citizens and policymakers are to hold institutions accountable for results. 

Drawing on 26 years of publicly available data across 170 countries, the book constructs the Macro-Governance Index (MGI)-a fourteen-component composite spanning infrastructure, connectivity, financial inclusion, human capital, security, institutional quality, and economic integration. The MGI correlates with the UN Human Development Index at r = 0.97, and this relationship is not driven by income alone: controlling for GNI, the framework retains substantial independent predictive power, confirming that governance infrastructure-not just wealth-determines whether nations deliver well-being to their citizens. 

The book reveals patterns that conventional measures miss. Novel metrics for credit access and household-level financial reach show that the effective economic gap between the Global North and Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 70× rather than the 53× that standard income comparisons suggest-a hidden disparity with profound implications for development policy. A governance simulation framework models how investments in one dimension cascade through others, enabling policymakers to identify the highest-leverage interventions for their country's specific development stage. 

Seven detailed case studies-Singapore, Rwanda, Estonia, Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, and Lebanon-demonstrate how the framework diagnoses governance strengths and weaknesses in practice. An analysis of the ten fastest-rising nations reveals that while successful governance strategies differ radically across political systems, they share common patterns in infrastructure sequencing and institutional development that the MGI captures and quantifies. 

Designed for dual utility, the book serves as an analytical framework for researchers and policymakers and as an accessible assessment tool for citizens through the companion website grademygovernment.com. A full reproducibility dataset covering all 170 countries across seven benchmark years is included, making this not just an argument for governance science but its working prototype.

A Data-Driven Framework for Measuring and Improving Governance Across Nations

Macro-Governance Theory

In der Menschheitsgeschichte ist der Nationalstaat eine neue Erfindung. Erst im 20. Jahrhundert wurde er zur weltweiten Norm. Heute ist er womöglich schon wieder ein Auslaufmodell. Ökologische Katastrophen, globale Migrationsbewegungen, die wachsende Macht der Tech-Konzerne und transnationale Finanzströme stellen die Annahme infrage, dass Politik innerhalb fester Landesgrenzen stattfinden muss – und kann. Rana Dasgupta zeichnet die Entstehung und den Aufstieg des Staatensystems nach, um die Ursachen für sein vielfältiges Scheitern zu ergründen. Ausgehend von vier Machtzentren – Frankreich, Großbritannien, USA und China – erzählt er die globale Geschichte einer politischen Form, die heute an den Bedingungen zerbricht, die sie einst ermöglicht haben.Elegant und mit Blick für vergessene Details führt uns der preisgekrönte Autor vom Untergang alter Imperien und von der Ausbreitung europäischer Geld- und Rechtskonzepte bis hin zur epochalen Wiederherstellung chinesischer Macht. Dasgupta fragt: Wie könnte eine flexible Ordnung im planetaren Zeitalter aussehen? Und welche Rolle spielt die Religion in einer Welt nach den Nationen? Eine beeindruckende Reise zu den Ursprüngen der Nation, um Antworten für die Zukunft zu finden.

Artificial Intelligence and the Rule of Law

This book offers a timely examination of AI regulation in the era of Industry 5.0, where innovation must be balanced with human well-being, sustainability, and responsible governance. It explores how artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare, environmental stewardship, corporate governance, digital commerce, and emerging technologies while creating new regulatory, ethical, and societal challenges. As AI increasingly influences critical decisions across healthcare systems, innovation ecosystems, educational institutions, and business environments, policymakers and practitioners face growing questions regarding accountability, transparency, safety, trust, privacy, and human rights. Addressing these concerns, this edited volume brings together leading scholars and experts to examine the evolving legal, ethical, and governance frameworks needed to support responsible AI adoption.The chapters cover a diverse range of contemporary topics, including AI-enabled drug discovery, healthcare decision-making, medical liability, patient rights, sustainability governance, climate and environmental regulation, AI in education, intellectual property and innovation, corporate governance, e-commerce regulation, cybersecurity, regulatory sandboxes, and explainable AI in high-risk sectors. Together, these contributions provide interdisciplinary perspectives on how AI can be developed and governed in ways that foster innovation while protecting societal interests.A central theme of the book is the Industry 5.0 vision of human-centric technological progress. The contributors highlight how effective regulation can promote trustworthy AI systems that support sustainable development, strengthen innovation, encourage responsible technological deployment, and create long-term value for society. By bridging law, policy, governance, healthcare, sustainability and technology studies, this volume offers valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of AI-driven transformation. It provides a forward-looking resource for understanding how regulatory frameworks can enable innovation while ensuring that technological advancement remains ethical, inclusive, and sustainable.This book is intended for researchers, academics, policymakers, regulators, healthcare professionals, technology practitioners, industry leaders, graduate students, and readers interested in artificial intelligence, Industry 5.0, sustainability, healthcare innovation and emerging technologies.

AI Regulation in Industry 5.0

Global Energy Law and Policy

This book provides a multi-jurisdictional analysis of the role of law in accelerating the development of floating offshore wind energy. With ongoing technological advancements in the context of the energy transition, floating offshore wind represents a significant advancement in the global transition towards sustainable energy. Debates around the inherent ecological tensions raised by fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines, as well as the value of deeper offshore wind exploration, are considered alongside unanswered questions on the complexity of the marine environment and its governance in relation to the deployment of floating offshore wind energy. Other questions focus on marine spatial planning, licensing and permitting procedures, and the safety of installing and maintaining complex offshore energy infrastructure. Although these issues partially coincide with those related to traditional bottom-fixed installation, the book provides an opportunity to test the extent to which traditional legal and regulatory strategies may or may not be suited to the fast-growing deployment of floating offshore wind energy. Written by experts across multiple jurisdictions where floating projects are being developed, the book unlocks new thinking on regulatory modelling and design at a time when floating wind is expected to resolve the complexity of the Energy Quadrilemma.

The Law and Policy of Floating Offshore Wind

Studies in International Law

This book argues that the pursuit of universal norms remains a worthwhile endeavour for the international legal discipline. It does this while also engaging with the very active imperialist critique of such norms. The study has 4 aims; firstly to illustrate the role that the idea and debate around norms have in developing international law, and secondly to address the philosophical concerns around identifying such norms. It moves on to explore whether a legal/practical instantiation of the universal can be done without taking a particular position/perspective. And finally, it turns to the impact the universal has on the development of international human rights law. Public international law, human rights and legal philosophy scholars will welcome this original theoretical-philosophical perspective on an enduring debate in the field of international law.

International Law and the Pursuit of Universal Norms

A money confessional from The FT's columnist, Sunday Times bestselling author and Lorraine's money expert, Claer Barrett, uncovering all the things we don't talk about when it comes to money that plague our relationships with others. Should you share a bank account with the person you share a bed with? Why does your partner insist on splitting the bills 50:50 even though they earn twice as much as you do? Would you be mad if your parents left all of their money to your less successful sibling? And best of all, how do you even begin to talk about these things? A taboo-busting reveal of the financial dynamics that underpin our relationships with others - our friends, partners and families - How to Talk About Money reveals the hidden money dynamics that bubble unsaid and ruin our relationship and our chance of attaining financial independence. With unfiltered money confessionals, practical scripts and tools to counter the most common money pitfalls and Claer's trademark no-nonsense agony aunt advice, this book makes awkwardness about money a thing of the past allowing you to enjoy the good life with your loved ones.

Overcoming the Money Secrets that Keep Us and Our Relationships Stuck

How to Talk About Money

How should the Arctic be viewed in the 21st century? In this book, a leading commentator assesses the competing players for the Arctic, looking at broad questions of governance and security. The author challenges the view that the Arctic is a passive space which is the focus of competitive advances from superpowers, arguing that it is more correctly understood as a dynamic pluriverse. Drawing on international law, international relations and diplomacy, this is an important re-assessment of the Arctic and its position in geo-politics.

The Economy We Need for the Development We Want

Handbook of the Blue Economy

This book proposes a radical rethink of how we fund our economy. Rather than disentangling public and corporate finance, this book shows how the two are forced to feed a never-ending force: growth. By re-visiting how money is created in our economy, the book proposes a new way of funding the economy using interest-free money creation.
Economic evaluation techniques like Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) reinforce the idea that to receive funding, a project need to generate economic growth. However, this book argues that the priority of the economics discipline should be to illuminate resource allocation and scarcity and propose ways to make the economy self-sustainable, helping to avoid inflation and poverty. To do this, the book highlights that not all public needs—such as social housing or other non-profit services—require economic growth. It argues that by decoupling public funding from taxation and interest-based borrowing, governments could more effectively fund essential public services that do not need to be profitable, thereby freeing the public sector from the growth imperative imposed by the current financial system. With practical applications for sectors including healthcare, environmental policy and sustainability, the book’s interdisciplinary approach – incorporating insights from economics, finance, public policy, anthropology and more – will be a valuable tool for scholars and practitioners in diverse fields.
