What Makes an Economy Resilient During Global Shocks?

Routledge Explorations in Energy Studies

This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of recent advances in net energy analysis (NEA), bridging gaps in the literature, integrating insights from multiple disciplines, and providing practical tools for future research.Modern societies are built upon energy and, more precisely, net energy-the energy available after accounting for the energy required to build, operate, and maintain the energy system. NEA provides the science to assess net energy and its implications, often through the concept of energy return on investment (EROI). Over the past five decades, NEA has expanded from early EROI studies into a toolkit spanning process-based accounting, input-output analysis, hybrid methods, and system-wide assessments. This toolkit is increasingly used to evaluate transition pathways, yet the field still lacks a comprehensive synthesis. Net Energy Analysis: The State of the Art brings together leading scholars to clarify the definitions, concepts, metrics, and methods that define contemporary NEA, while also exploring connections with adjacent fields such as evolutionary biology, industrial ecology, and ecological economics. Part I examines different interpretations of NEA, tracing its development from historical foundations to its relevance in financial markets and economics. Part II focuses on converging methodologies, including process-based approaches, input-output analysis, and a taxonomy of net energy metrics. Parts III and IV move into more advanced applications and emerging frontiers, such as system-level EROI estimation and the integration of net energy concepts into integrated assessment models (IAMs), among others.The book will be a useful resource for students in energy and sustainability, while also offering both new and experienced scholars a concise summary of key debates and the latest cutting-edge contributions relevant to their research.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

Net Energy Analysis

Smart as a City provides a rich ethnographic investigation into how smartness is received and negotiated in a midsize US city. Burcu Baykurt follows the work of civic entrepreneurs, local residents, and city officials in Kansas City, Missouri, where Google tested a citywide gigabit service and the local government launched a series of smart city pilot projects in transportation, public housing, and municipal services. Baykurt redefines smartness as a collective effort to spotlight a city's enduring local problems and align solutions with the often buggy, partially developed systems offered by tech companies. She shows that success in matching civic concerns with flawed tech systems is hard-won and ambiguous, and that the techniques of data capitalism extract value from urban inequalities rather than solve them.

Using Data to Decide When -- and How Fast -- to Scale Revenue

The Science of Scaling

What if growth is not about moving faster, scaling bigger, or achieving more-but about staying stable while expanding?In a world obsessed with speed, ambition, productivity, and endless expansion, most people, businesses, and institutions misunderstand one fundamental truth: growth is not defined by how fast you expand, but by how long you can sustain what you build.In The 8 Laws of Growth, author and systems thinker Sandeep J. Chavan presents a powerful framework for understanding why some individuals, organizations, economies, and systems grow sustainably-while others collapse under their own success.This is not a motivational book. It is not a collection of productivity hacks, business tactics, or self-help formulas. Instead, it offers a practical and deeply structured way to understand how growth actually works beneath the surface.Drawing from systems thinking, psychology, organizational behavior, leadership principles, and real-world observations, this book challenges conventional assumptions about success, ambition, and progress. It reveals why growth often creates instability, why achievement can silently carry hidden costs, and why systems fail long before collapse becomes visible.Through eight foundational laws, readers will learn: - Why growth without alignment becomes instability - How consequences quietly accumulate beneath visible success - Why unresolved problems compound into systemic failure - How limits and tolerance thresholds shape sustainable progress - Why speed often amplifies hidden fragility - The overlooked role of dissipation in maintaining performance - Why continuous resolution matters more than temporary success - How discipline-not intensity-creates enduring growthWhether applied to personal development, business growth, leadership, organizational scaling, decision-making, relationships, education, or national systems, these laws reveal recurring patterns that determine whether progress endures-or eventually breaks.At the center of the book lies a simple but transformative principle: Growth = Coherent Resolution within Tolerance ConstraintsThis equation reframes growth entirely. Sustainable progress does not emerge from force, motivation, or expansion alone. It emerges when systems remain aligned, resolve disturbances continuously, respect limits, and adapt without accumulating instability.Written in clear, accessible language without academic complexity, The 8 Laws of Growth is designed for leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, educators, systems thinkers, decision-makers, and anyone seeking sustainable success in a rapidly changing world.If you have ever wondered: <ul><li>Why success often becomes stressful</li><li>Why organizations struggle after scaling</li><li>Why ambition sometimes creates burnout</li><li>Why relationships, careers, or systems destabilize despite progress</li><li>How to grow without breaking what matters</li></ul>Then this book offers a new way to see growth-not as expansion, but as the disciplined ability to sustain what you create.Because in the end, growth is not measured by what increases.It is measured by what remains stable.

Economic and Financial Law & Policy – Shifting Insights & Values

This book offers an in-depth legal analysis of the right to food from both international and Cuban perspectives. It explores the historical, legal and theoretical evolution of the right to food, examining its normative foundations, legal content, guiding principles, state obligations and institutional guarantees within international human rights law and contemporary constitutional frameworks. The book introduces a novel four-fold interpretation of the right to food, integrating the right to be free from hunger, the right to food security, the right to food sovereignty and the right to healthy and adequate food into a coherent legal framework. Building upon this approach, it develops a comprehensive legal architecture of the right to food by proposing a new configuration of its guiding principles, differentiated state obligations and institutional guarantees. In doing so, it contributes to contemporary debates on the legal nature, interpretation, and implementation of the right to food, while addressing its relationship with sustainability, agricultural governance, and human rights. Particular attention is devoted to the Cuban legal system, providing a comprehensive examination of the constitutional recognition of the right to food, recent legislative reforms and the institutional mechanisms developed to implement food sovereignty and nutrition security. At the same time, the analysis situates the Cuban experience within broader international legal developments, offering comparative insights relevant to both developed and developing countries. Combining doctrinal legal research, historical analysis, and comparative perspectives, this book advances an original theoretical framework for understanding and implementing the right to food while providing practical insights for academics, legislators, policymakers, legal practitioners, and international organisations interested in food law, human rights, and sustainable food systems.

Handbooks in Communication and Media

Presents groundbreaking approaches for bridging engineering expertise and human-centered communication in infrastructure systems Infrastructure systems sustain daily life yet are often overlooked until they fail, at which point communication gaps can hinder effective responses and solutions. The Handbook of Infrastructure Communication addresses this critical challenge by establishing "infrastructure communication" as a distinct interdisciplinary field. Bringing together insights from engineering, communication science, and social science, this handbook offers practical frameworks for translating complex technical information across disciplinary and stakeholder boundaries. The Handbook is organized into six parts, covering foundations of infrastructure communication, physical systems such as water, transportation, and energy, digital communication ecosystems, social networks, cross-cultural strategies, and crisis communication during disasters. Each section combines theoretical analysis with applied examples, including discussions of underserved communities, the integration of AI in infrastructure, and the unique vulnerabilities exposed during extreme weather events. The contributors-engineers, communication researchers, social justice experts, and practitioners-offer diverse perspectives while embedding human-centered approaches within infrastructure planning and management. Throughout the book, in-depth yet accessible chapters demonstrate how effective communication can secure investments, enhance resilience, and ensure infrastructure meets the needs of society at large. Equipping readers to foster collaboration and create infrastructure that is technically sound and socially supported, this reference work: <ul> <li>Examines social and cultural contexts that shape public acceptance and equitable access to infrastructure</li> <li>Provides frameworks for engaging communities in decision-making and addressing systemic inequities</li> <li>Offers practical strategies for communicating numeric complexity and visualizing technical information effectively</li> <li>Highlights resilience strategies for crises, including wildfires, floods, and severe weather events</li> <li>Reviews funding mechanisms and interdisciplinary approaches relevant to current U.S. and global initiatives</li> </ul> The Handbook of Infrastructure Communication is ideal for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars in engineering, communication, and urban planning, as well as professionals in infrastructure policy and management. It is particularly well-suited for courses in systems engineering, organizational communication, environmental communication, and urban design, and serves as an essential reference for engineers, planners, policymakers, and crisis communicators.

The Handbook of Infrastructure Communication

Many people remain unaware of the scale and urgency of Africa’s food crisis, in part because current
 
 policies fail to capture its full complexity. This crisis is shaped by a tangled web of natural and human-
 
 made factors, and without a comprehensive, systems-level approach, meaningful solutions remain out
 
 of reach. Tackling this involves concentrated policies that go beyond technical fixes—it demands
 
 coordinated efforts that bridge sectors, disciplines, and national borders.
 
 Using the metaphor of the Gordian Knot to underscore just how intricate and entrenched the problem
 
 has become, this book examines environmental and climatic challenges. The first section of the book
 
 includes chapters dealing with the natural factors for the crisis, and the second section will encompass
 
 chapters addressing human-made factors, such as political, economic, and social drivers. Each chapter
 
 includes targeted policy recommendations grounded in current research.
 
 Weaving together interdisciplinary research and analysis, the book offers actionable insights and
 
 opportunities to address the manmade and environmental problems, furthering the food crisis in Africa
 
 today.

Socioeconomic Effects of the Food Crisis in Africa

Risk, Governance and Society

European finance now operates under a dense web of intersecting rules. While these safeguards have reduced formal weaknesses, they often undercut strategic capacity, immobilize capital, and promote a tick-box mindset. This book argues that the problem is not the volume of regulations, but rather the absence of a shared language of risk. Treating risk as an external constraint renders institutions compliant yet fragile.
Drawing on the author's background in banking, payments, and fintech—including CTO/CIO and board-level roles with responsibility for technology strategy, operational resilience, payment systems, and supervisory engagement—and research on risk-based performance indicators, the book blends practice and research. It offers a governance-centered framework that translates regulatory duties into risk-based decision-making and metrics, differentiates banks from nonbanks, and integrates technology and third-party exposure.
Reframing supervision as a relational process built on proportionality, trust, and risk ownership, this book will appeal to readers interested in how financial risk governance shapes institutions, supervision, and society.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2026 in the subject Guidebooks - School, Education, Pedagogy, , course: Education Management and Administration, language: English, abstract: Zambia's rural households face recurrent climate shocks, thin markets, and persistent poverty, which heighten vulnerability and limit productive investment. In this context, work¿conditional social protection programmes such as Food¿for¿Work (FFW) and Cash¿for¿Work (CFW) aim to stabilise consumption while building community assets. Yet evidence on their comparative effectiveness remains fragmented and sensitive to market conditions, seasonality, and implementation quality.
This thesis assesses FFW and CFW in Zambia, examining targeting accuracy, delivery efficiency, asset quality, and cost¿effectiveness, alongside impacts on food security, diversification, savings, debt, assets, labour allocation, and subjective well¿being. Special attention is given to heterogeneity by market access, timing within agricultural calendars, gender, and shock exposure. A mixed¿methods design combines a three¿wave household panel with qualitative process data. Propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting construct comparable groups, followed by difference¿in¿differences and fixed¿effects models; instrumental variables address potential endogeneity. Standardised indicators including HDDS, FCS, CSI, PMT scores, and Simpson Index guide measurement. 
Results show both modalities reduce negative coping and stabilise consumption. CFW yields greater improvements in dietary diversity and flexibility where markets and payment systems function well. FFW performs better in remote areas, during price spikes, and in lean seasons by guaranteeing staple supplies. Timing is critical: pre¿lean¿season transfers reduce distress sales and improve input access. CFW supports small enterprise entry, savings, and livestock gains; FFW protects schooling, meal frequency, and labour productivity. Both reduce high¿interest borrowing, though via different channels. 
Implementation quality strongly shapes outcomes. FFW faces logistical risks, while CFW is vulnerable to payment delays and inflation. Cost¿effectiveness varies by geography, with CFW cheaper in connected areas and FFW preferable where cash conversion is costly. Gender effects show increased autonomy under CFW and reduced budgeting stress under FFW, moderated by childcare and worksite conditions.
