The extractive economy is failing. The regenerative economy is being built. This is the definitive field manual for entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers ready to stop tinkering with a broken system—and start building what replaces it. When Laurie Lane-Zucker coined the term impact entrepreneur in 2011, he named an emerging movement. Fifteen years later, that movement has reached a breakthrough. The Impact Entrepreneur Breakthrough maps how to join it. Part manifesto and part operating manual, this book shows how enterprises, ownership, capital, markets, security, and culture must transform together—and provides practical tools to begin immediately. Drawing on three decades at the forefront of impact investing and regenerative economics, Lane-Zucker introduces powerful new frameworks, including the Five Pillars of Real Security, the Prevention Dividend, and Defense as a Service—reimagining protection as shared resilience rather than fortified isolation. You’ll learn to <ul><li>design enterprises that heal communities and ecosystems;&nbsp;</li><li>structure ownership so mission survives growth and succession;&nbsp;</li><li>deploy capital for long-term resilience;&nbsp;</li><li>rethink risk through prevention and collaboration;&nbsp;and</li><li>translate regenerative values into concrete strategies and decisions.</li></ul> Each chapter moves from analysis to action, with real-world applications from practitioners already building the Impact Economy. The breakthrough is happening now. The question is whether you’ll participate.

Rethinking Asia and International Relations

East Asia is shaped as much by identity-based dynamics as by material forces. This book examines how the evolving state identities of China and Japan have interacted with the regional order and its prospects for both cooperation and conflict.While identity-based dynamics have long been recognised as enduring features by observers of East Asia, conventional accounts often emphasise the absence of a shared identity, persistent historical grievances, and nationalism-fuelled territorial disputes-particularly between China and Japan-as key obstacles to regional cooperation. This volume instead offers a state identity politics approach that moves beyond viewing the 'ghosts of the past' as fixed constraints. It focuses on how domestic actors in both countries construct and mobilise state identities, how domestic politics interact with international relations, and how these identities shape regional order. Through analysis of China's and Japan's evolving approaches to key post-Cold War regional initiatives, the author demonstrates why state identity politics is vital to understanding Sino-Japanese relations and broader regional dynamics in East Asia.This book will be of interest to scholars and students of East Asian politics, Sino-Japanese relations, diplomatic studies, and domestic-international interactions, as well as policymakers engaged in these fields.

What separates the greatest athletes from the rest? Coachability. "This book is for athletes, parents, coaches, and leaders who understand that growth doesn't happen alone."—Mike&nbsp;Krzyzewski "A unique, impactful, and long-overdue book that draws on decades of reporting to explain what really distinguishes the great ones."—Sam Walker, author of The Captain Class "Coachable is rooted in the belief that improvement is a shared journey. I've seen firsthand that the best players—and the best leaders—are the ones who remain teachable."—Kevin Love Sports analyst Ric Bucher has spent the last three decades surrounded by some of the greatest athletes of our time. Over the years, he became obsessed with the ultimate question in sports and life: Which traits separate the best from the rest? He began asking that question, and the same answer kept coming back again and again from greats like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Diana Taurasi, Brandi Chastain, and Stephen Curry: I was coachable.&nbsp; Coachable? Yes, coachable. Of all the possible markers that contributed to their greatness, coachability emerged as the surprising X factor. So Bucher set out to explore this often overlooked aspect of the careers of every major athlete he could access and found stories that these stars have never revealed. Coachable is organized around the 10 Truths of Coachability that every athlete, team leader, manager, coach, and parent needs to know. Each truth is dissected and illuminated through exclusive interviews and stories from legendary coaches like Gregg Popovich, Steve Kerr, and Coach K; all-time greats like Stephen Curry and Landon Donovan; the rising stars of tomorrow, like Rose Zhang and Paolo Banchero; and some of the athletes most known for maximizing their talent, like Fred VanVleet and Richard Jefferson. Taken together, the stories and insights in Coachable are a fascinating window into how we can improve at whatever we do.

Introduction.- A modern steel industry.- The origins of the Australian steel industry.- Boom years: the 1960s.- Stagnation: the 1970s.

This book explores the history and evolution of Australia’s steel industry. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the creation of a large, technologically advanced steel sector was widely seen as essential for economic development, providing vital inputs for railways, shipping, engineering, and construction. While new materials such as plastics, aluminium, and concrete have since taken centre stage, steel once stood at the heart of industrial progress.In the Australian context, the steel industry became closely linked with Broken Hill Proprietary Limited (BHP), for decades the country’s largest private corporation and long identified as the “Big Australian.” BHP’s exit from steelmaking in 2002 marked not just a corporate turning point but also reflected the broader transformation of the Australian economy, where mining increasingly overshadowed manufacturing.Yet, the story of steel in Australia is not merely one of decline. This book examines how the industry endured through profound shifts in the national and global economy, overcoming challenges and adapting to survive, even prosper, through the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In doing so, it reveals how businesses, particularly in the manufacturing sector, can demonstrate resilience and strategic adaptation in an era of globalisation.By tracing the steel industry’s rise, struggles, and persistence, this book offers fresh insights into the dynamics of industrial change and the lessons it holds for Australia’s economic future.

Shanghai actively uses culture to promote itself as a global city. This book explores how this has been conceived and pursued, and what questions it raises for notions of 'culture' and 'economy' as understood in the West. If theoretical work around the 'cultural economy' has problematized these two, this book locates these debates empirically in a non-western metropolis.

The Urban Book Series

Major cities in China have witnessed unprecedented expansion towards outer suburban areas through various forms of mixed-use, clustered development. The peripheries of Chinese cities often comprise diverse residential communities, such as urban villages, workers' dormitories, privatised work-unit compounds, and new commodity housing estates, where local residents and migrants from different backgrounds coexist in a transition period. Chinese migrants now have more housing choices within such areas, but residence in specific neighbourhoods can affect social status, thereby impacting migrants' pathways to integration into the city. This book offers a detailed examination of migrants' integration processes through these peri-urban neighbourhoods.
Drawing on a rich and fine-grained examination of migratory individuals, their families, and their trajectories in four types of peri-urban neighbourhoods, the book provides a new perspective on internal migration within China. It illuminates shiminhua, the fluid integration policy for converting migrants into residents in urban China, conceptualises urban migrant integration, and investigates socio-spatial restructuring among the migrant population of China's metropolises. This book offers an understanding of migrant integration into labour-receiving cities through the lens of neighbourhoods in peri-urban Beijing, an emblematic case that illustrates core patterns of internal migration, politics, and socio-spatial changes in contemporary China.

This book offers a new governance framework for understanding how countries with limited institutional capacity can pursue economic catch-up in the digital age. This book introduces the concept of the Developmental Network State (DNS) to explain how learning, coordination, and embeddedness enable capability development under conditions of constraint. Focusing on transitional economies in Southeast Europe, it examines how fragmented institutions, donor dependence, and political volatility shape technological upgrading and industrial transformation.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork, stakeholder interviews, and comparative analysis, the book explores digital entrepreneurship, agri-food upgrading, and integration into automotive supply chains in low-capacity environments. It highlights themes such as governance as a meta-capability, industrial policy under digital disruption, and the role of diasporas and donors in shaping development trajectories. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to researchers, graduate students, policy advisors, and development practitioners interested in industrial policy, innovation systems, and governance reform in latecomer economies.
