    Abstract: Little is known about innovative and successful enterprises in the countries that, until 1990, were part of the Soviet Union. Most previous research has extensively covered barriers to entrepreneurship and innovation that exist in these countries, some of which undoubtedly represent a hostile and harsh environment for any entrepreneurial activity. In this book, a different perspective is introduced. The focus is shifted to the innovative potential that these environments provide, demonstrating how entrepreneurs have been able to convert possibilities in hostile business environments into successful businesses. Through this collection of six in-depth case studies, the authors illustrate how successful and innovative businesses were able to develop in countries such as Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyztan, Moldova and Ukraine. Each case study presents an overview of the country's key economic indicators and the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the economy, followed by the presentation of a case study of a successful SME

    DDC: 302.230835
    Keywords: Youth in mass media ; Mass media and youth ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Adolescents are eager consumers of mass media entertainment and are particularly susceptible to various forms of media influence, such as modeling, desensitization, and contagion. These once controversial phenomena are now widely accepted along with the recognition that th media are a major socializer of youth. During the economic boom of the post-World War II era, marketers and advertisers identified adolescents as a major audience, which led to the emergence of a pervasive youth culture. Enormous changes ensued in the media's portrayal of adolescents and the behaviors they emulate. These cha

    Keywords: Baseri tribe ; Basseri ; Basseri
    Abstract: In addition to a culture summary, the Basseri collection consists of two anthropological studies by Fredrik Barth. The first, published in 1961, is based on ethnographic materials collected in the period from December 1957 to July 1958 while the author was living with the Danbar tribal section of Basseri. The book describes and analyses Basseri social and economic organization in terms of a general ecological perspective. The focus is on the processes through which the Basseri organize nomadic herding and relate to one another as members of different households, herding units, camps, lineages (oulad) and tribal sections (tira). The second document, published in 1964, discusses the nature of Basseri pastoral economy and its implications for social structure. Together, these documents provide a first-hand account and analysis of Basseri economy and social organization, but contain little information on arts, language, medicine, death and afterlife. The Basseri are a pastoral nomadic people living around Shiraz, capital of the Iranian province of Fars, in land that stretches between deserts in the south to high mountain ranges in the north

    Keywords: Comanche Indians ; Comanchen ; Comanchen
    Abstract: This collection of 16 documents and a culture summary provide a variety of cultural, historical and environmental information from two historical periods. The first covers the Comanche's long history from antiquity to their first contact with Europeans in 1701, to their defeat by the United States army in the 1870s. The second is from 1875 to the 1990s, and includes the Comanche's 1875 confinement to a reservation, and 1901-1906 when that reservation was broken into scattered allotments. All documents are in English except Canonge which includes stories and folktales in the Comanche language with English translations. The Comanche are a loosely organized Native American group who, before their confinement to reservations, occupied the southern Great Plains grasslands across southeastern Colorado, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, and western Texas. The headquarters of the Comanche Nation is now in southwest Oklahoma

    Abstract: This collection about the Tehuelche consists of ten documents; eight in English and two in Spanish. The documents can be broadly categorized into three groups by time period and the information they cover. The first group consists of documents by a colonial administrator and a European explorer of Patagonia, and provide a first-hand account of Tehuelche society and culture, with particular emphasis on hunting methods, diet, warfare, social organization, inter-ethnic relations, religion, important ceremonies and the natural environment, prior to their forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The second group consists of documents by professional anthropologists who sought to recreate a picture of pre-conquest Tehuelche society by building on information by earlier writers. Topics covered by these documents include aspects of culture, territoriality and social structure, folklore, and mythology. The third group consists of just one book, but fills a critical gap by documenting the political and cultural processes that led to the gradual extinction of the Tehuelche beginning from their first contact with Europeans in 1520 to their final forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and southern Chile

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents centers primarily on the city of Rome, and secondarily on the Roman Empire at the height of the imperial period. All documents are in English (and some are also in Latin). Most focus on the first century AD, particularly from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the accession of Trajan in 98 AD, with less emphasis on the principate of Augustus itself and on the period of 99-192 AD. The most comprehensive studies for an overall understanding of Imperial Roman history and ethnography are: Carcopino, Rostovtsev, Lewis and Reinhold, and Pellisson. Both Carcopino and Pellisson are chiefly concerned with the daily life of the citizens of Rome, while Rostovtsev deals with the social and economic history of the empire, and Lewis and Reinhold with imperial policies and administration, economic life, society and culture, life in the municipalities and provinces, the Roman army, law, and religion (particularly with the rise and eventual triumph of Christianity). The works by Columella present one of the most comprehensive and systematic of all treatises by a Roman writer on agricultural affairs and animal husbandry. Loane presents a detailed study of the provisioning of the city of Rome (50 BC-200 AD), including data on various aspects of trade, manufacturing, and other associated commercial activities. Rivenburg gives an account of what Seneca thought about the fashionable life and manners of this day (i. e., 35-65 AD). Tanzier, an archaeologist, attempts to study the life of the common people of Pompeii as revealed through their graffiti, friezes, and wall paintings which were preserved in the ashes resulting from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The documents by Pliny the Elder are all from his Natural History, and deal with ethnometeorology and ethnogeography, ethnosociology, ethnopsychology and ethoanatomy, the medicinal use of plants, and a study of metals, minerals and a history of art

    Keywords: Burusho ; Hunzukuc ; Hunzukuc
    Abstract: This collection consists of 9 documents about the Burusho, a mountain people living primarily in the Hunza valley, but also in the Nagar and Yasin areas, and in the Gilgit district of the northern areas of Pakistan. All are in English except Lorimer, which provides both the original text in Burushaski and its translation into English. Four documents by David L. Lorimer, a British political agent who lived in Hunza from 1920 to 1924, and his wife, Emily O. Lorimer, focus on folklore, local traditions and linguistic issues. John Tobe's work tries to correct popular western views which wrongly regarded Hunza as a paradise where people live extraordinarily long healthy lifes. John Clark compliments Tobe's work by listing the many cases of disease which he encountered while maintaining a general dispensary in the area in 1948-1951. The remaining two documents discuss economy, ecology and social organization

    Abstract: This collection of 28 documents about the peoples of the Woleai Region focuses primarily on the atoll of Ifaluk, and contains information on three time periods: the early 20th century, the late 1940s-mid-1950s, and the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The earliest information comes from travel reports by German explorers and missionaries who lived and worked in the region from 1904-1910; the other writings are by professional anthropologists. Together, the documents show that life in this region remains largely traditional, despite many years of administration by successive external powers. The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Woleai is the largest group of closely related atolls in the central and west-central Caroline Islands that also includes Eauripik, Ifaluk, Faraulep, Elato, and Lamotrek. Residents label themselves by means of a nominal prefixed to their particular island name, as in reweleya, which means "person of Woleai (nationality)" and speak dialects of Woleaian, a Micronesian language of the Eatern Oceanic Branch of Austronesian

    Abstract: This collection of six documents about the Semang covers four time periods: mid-1920s to late 1930s, mid-1950s, early 1970s, and 1993-1996. It documents the Semang's engagement with state and market forces over the degradation of the forests from which they take their identity and modes of life. At least nine distinct cultural-linguistic subgroups still exist: Kensiu of eastern Kedah (near Baling) and southern Thailand (Yala Province); Kintak of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Jahai of northestern Perak and northwestern Kelantan; Lanòh of northwestern Perak (near Gerik); Mendriq of central Kelantan; Batèk D̀̀̀̀̀è' of southeastern Kelantan and northern Pahang; Batèk Nòng of central Pahang (near Jerantut); Mintil of north-central Pahang (near Cegar Perah); and Mos (or Chong) of the Pattalung-Trang area in southern peninsular Thailand.

    Keywords: Bambara (African people) ; Bambara ; Bambara
    Abstract: This collection of 12 documents is about the Bambara, a Mande-speaking people located primarily in Mali, West Africa. It covers information from two time periods: 1910-1950s and 1988-2003. Materials on the first period consist of four books translated from French. The earliest of these books are by a French Roman Catholic missionary, Henry, and a colonial administrator, Monteil, who lived among the Bambara from around 1900 to 1923. Henry discusses Bambara psychology and religion through broader explorations into their ideas on human life, taboos, animism, cults, sacrifices, and ceremonials relating to circumcision, marriage and funerals, while Monteil focuses on history and administrative practices with particular emphasis on functions of age-groups, religious cults, secret societies and territorial lineages. Both authors occasionally characterize the Bambara using strongly negative stereotypes that seem highly colored by their own respective religious and political views. Comprehensive ethnographic information on Bambara culture and society can be found in the remaining two books, Dieterlen and Paques. Both authors are professional French ethnographers with extensive field work experience in the region. Materials on the second period focus on Bambara economy and household dynamics. Toulmin and Becker (1996) discuss the constraints and opportunities different household heads encounter in attempting to enhance their access to key productive resources (land, labor and capital in the form of cattle and cash). Wooten, Becker (2000) and Grosz Ngate examine the impacts of increasing commoditization of rural economy on household food security, gender and intra-household relations

    Keywords: Siriono Indians ; Siriono Indians--Cultural assimilation ; Indians of South America--Bolivia--Cultural assimilation ; Sirionó ; Sirionó
    Abstract: This collection about the Sirionó consists of five English language documents plus a culture summary, covering a time span from approximately 1900 to 1984. The Holmberg and Stearman studies are the basic works providing a broad general coverage of Sirionó ethnography. Holmberg is the classic study of the Sirionó based on his fieldwork among these people in 1940-1941. Stearman is largely a review of Holmberg's fieldwork with an update of ethnographic material to about 1984. She describes the affects of acculturation on the Sirionó since Holmberg's visit, and provides additional data on the general economy. Material culture is described and illustrated in Ryden and in Radwan. Radwan also presents some brief comments on general ethnography and on contacts with missionaries. The Sirionó inhabit an extensive tropical forest in northern and eastern Bolivia

    Keywords: Baseri tribe
    Abstract: In addition to a culture summary, the Basseri collection consists of two anthropological studies by Fredrik Barth. The first, published in 1961, is based on ethnographic materials collected in the period from December 1957 to July 1958 while the author was living with the Danbar tribal section of Basseri. The book describes and analyses Basseri social and economic organization in terms of a general ecological perspective. The focus is on the processes through which the Basseri organize nomadic herding and relate to one another as members of different households, herding units, camps, lineages (oulad) and tribal sections (tira). The second document, published in 1964, discusses the nature of Basseri pastoral economy and its implications for social structure. Together, these documents provide a first-hand account and analysis of Basseri economy and social organization, but contain little information on arts, language, medicine, death and afterlife. The Basseri are a pastoral nomadic people living around Shiraz, capital of the Iranian province of Fars, in land that stretches between deserts in the south to high mountain ranges in the north

    Keywords: Acculturation ; Cree Indians ; Cree Indians--Social life and customs
    Abstract: This collection of eight documents is about the Western Woods Cree who lived aboriginally in the boreal forests from Hudson and James Bays westward to the Peace River in Canada. In the early twenty-first century they are found primarily in the region between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. Mason provides an overview of the Western Woods Cree ethnography; Smith (1981) presents a brief summary of some of the major features of their ethnography dating from the seventeenth to the late twentieth centuries, with an emphasis on the western Swampy and Rocky Cree populations. Two of the studies in this collection by Smith (1976, 1987) discuss and analyze the ethnological 'myth' dealing with the movement of the Western Woods Cree to the southwest areas at the time of the initial Euro-American contact. According to this belief French and English guns gave the Cree technological superiority over their neighbors to the west and southwest and permitted them to move easily into the conquered lands. Evidence for pottery making at the time of early Euro-American contacts is discussed by Meyer. Fisher describes the socio-cultural evolution of the hunting band discussed in terms of social, ecological, and historical variables within the society. Hallowell presents a study of cross-cousin marriage in relationship to the kinship system

    Abstract: ^^ - Ute - Donald Callaway, Joel C. Janetski, and Omer C. Stewart - 1986 -- - Bibliography - Warren L. D'Azevedo, volume editor - 1986
    Abstract: This collection of 11 documents and a culture summary cover Ute society from pre-contact times to the 1980s. Studies include the earliest systematic attempts at reconstructing pre-reservation Ute culture and society, with particular emphasis on organization and composition of bands, settlement patterns and land use practices, as remembered by elderly informants in the 1930s and 1940s. These works also include detailed first hand descriptions of a bear dance performance, a peyote meeting and the sun dance which the authors personally observed. Other topics include mythology, concepts of nature and power, effects of oil money and development intervention and, aspects of history. Ute society was internally divided into several, but continuously fluid, bands and the history and interaction of each band with the state and market forces varied greatly. The Ute are a Native American group located in Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. At the time of European contact in the 1600s and 1700s, the Ute occupied much of central and eastern Utah and all of western Colorado, as well as minor portions of northwestern New Mexico, living as nomadic hunters and gatherers

    Abstract: This collection about the Tehuelche consists of ten documents; eight in English and two in Spanish. The documents can be broadly categorized into three groups by time period and the information they cover. The first group consists of documents by a colonial administrator and a European explorer of Patagonia, and provide a first-hand account of Tehuelche society and culture, with particular emphasis on hunting methods, diet, warfare, social organization, inter-ethnic relations, religion, important ceremonies and the natural environment, prior to their forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The second group consists of documents by professional anthropologists who sought to recreate a picture of pre-conquest Tehuelche society by building on information by earlier writers. Topics covered by these documents include aspects of culture, territoriality and social structure, folklore, and mythology. The third group consists of just one book, but fills a critical gap by documenting the political and cultural processes that led to the gradual extinction of the Tehuelche beginning from their first contact with Europeans in 1520 to their final forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and southern Chile

    Keywords: Burusho
    Abstract: This collection consists of 9 documents about the Burusho, a mountain people living primarily in the Hunza valley, but also in the Nagar and Yasin areas, and in the Gilgit district of the northern areas of Pakistan. All are in English except Lorimer, which provides both the original text in Burushaski and its translation into English. Four documents by David L. Lorimer, a British political agent who lived in Hunza from 1920 to 1924, and his wife, Emily O. Lorimer, focus on folklore, local traditions and linguistic issues. John Tobe's work tries to correct popular western views which wrongly regarded Hunza as a paradise where people live extraordinarily long healthy lifes. John Clark compliments Tobe's work by listing the many cases of disease which he encountered while maintaining a general dispensary in the area in 1948-1951. The remaining two documents discuss economy, ecology and social organization

    Abstract: This collection of fifteen documents centers primarily on the city of Rome, and secondarily on the Roman Empire at the height of the imperial period. All documents are in English (and some are also in Latin). Most focus on the first century AD, particularly from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the accession of Trajan in 98 AD, with less emphasis on the principate of Augustus itself and on the period of 99-192 AD. The most comprehensive studies for an overall understanding of Imperial Roman history and ethnography are: Carcopino, Rostovtsev, Lewis and Reinhold, and Pellisson. Both Carcopino and Pellisson are chiefly concerned with the daily life of the citizens of Rome, while Rostovtsev deals with the social and economic history of the empire, and Lewis and Reinhold with imperial policies and administration, economic life, society and culture, life in the municipalities and provinces, the Roman army, law, and religion (particularly with the rise and eventual triumph of Christianity). The works by Columella present one of the most comprehensive and systematic of all treatises by a Roman writer on agricultural affairs and animal husbandry. Loane presents a detailed study of the provisioning of the city of Rome (50 BC-200 AD), including data on various aspects of trade, manufacturing, and other associated commercial activities. Rivenburg gives an account of what Seneca thought about the fashionable life and manners of this day (i. e., 35-65 AD). Tanzier, an archaeologist, attempts to study the life of the common people of Pompeii as revealed through their graffiti, friezes, and wall paintings which were preserved in the ashes resulting from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. The documents by Pliny the Elder are all from his Natural History, and deal with ethnometeorology and ethnogeography, ethnosociology, ethnopsychology and ethoanatomy, the medicinal use of plants, and a study of metals, minerals and a history of art

    Abstract: The collection about the people of Ulithi consists of two documents and a culture summary. The two documents, both by Lessa and both in English, cover the time span from about 1900 to 1949. They present a comprehensive ethnographic study of Ulithi Atoll conducted by the author over a nine month period of fieldwork from 1947 through 1949, and a collection of previously unpublished myths and folktales from Ulithi. The people of Ulithi live on the Ulithi atoll in the west-central Caroline Islands of the western Pacific, and speak a dialect of Chuukese. Ulithi has undergone strong culture change since the atoll came under United States control in 1944

    Abstract: This collection of 28 documents about the peoples of the Woleai Region focuses primarily on the atoll of Ifaluk, and contains information on three time periods: the early 20th century, the late 1940s-mid-1950s, and the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The earliest information comes from travel reports by German explorers and missionaries who lived and worked in the region from 1904-1910; the other writings are by professional anthropologists. Together, the documents show that life in this region remains largely traditional, despite many years of administration by successive external powers. The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Woleai is the largest group of closely related atolls in the central and west-central Caroline Islands that also includes Eauripik, Ifaluk, Faraulep, Elato, and Lamotrek. Residents label themselves by means of a nominal prefixed to their particular island name, as in reweleya, which means "person of Woleai (nationality)" and speak dialects of Woleaian, a Micronesian language of the Eatern Oceanic Branch of Austronesian

    Abstract: This two-volume set offers an extraordinary précis of classic articles on the general equilibrium theory of incomplete markets. The first volume presents the contributions to the theory of incomplete markets over a finite horizon. Many of the papers focus on two-period economies. This setting provides the simplest version of the incomplete-market model. However, the study of incomplete markets has evolved from finite to infinite horizon economies. The second volume examines the interesting new technical and conceptual issues that arise from the exploration of incomplete market economies over an open-ended future. The editors have written new, authoritative introductions to each volume, which provide a comprehensive overview and informative discussion of the issues

    Keywords: Unternehmenskooperation ; Strategische Allianz ; Vertragstheorie ; Vertrauen ; Theorie ; Joint ventures ; Strategic alliances (Business) ; Electronic books ; Strategische Allianz ; Vertrag ; Vertrauen
    Abstract: Paul Vlaar contends that strategic alliances and other forms of cooperation, such as buyer-supplier relationships, joint ventures and offshoring initiatives, increasingly stand at the basis of competitive advantage. Although contracts and trust play a crucial role in such relationships, prior studies on both governance solutions are generally confined to single theories, paradigms and viewpoints. Drawing on an in-depth case study, survey data and conceptual developments, the author advances a more integrative framework. He probes issues such as: • the tension between the need and the ability to contract • trust and contracts as co-evolving and self-reinforcing phenomena • contractual functions other than coordination and control • dialectical tensions stemming from contract application • standardization of contracting practices. By exploring these topics, the book offers novel perspectives on the role of trust in interorganizational relationships, shifting our attention and creation to the discovery of value by collaborating partners

    Abstract: Providing much needed context for current events like the sub-prime mortgage crisis, this timely book presents a vision of an economy evolved to greater dependence on consumer credit and analyzes the trade-offs and risks associated with it. While synthesizing the Keynesian theory of consumption with the Institutional theory of habit selection (brought up to date with new knowledge from evolutionary biology and neuroscience), this book represents an in-depth treatment of the macroeconomic dimensions of consumer credit and implications of recent financial innovations from a non-traditional economic approach

    Abstract: The purpose of this book is to reconsider economic liberalism from the viewpoint of political liberalism. The author argues that advocates of economic liberalism largely overlook empirical political preferences which, in many societies, go far beyond a limited role of the state. Recent difficulties of reforming the welfare state provide evidence that political preferences are at odds with liberal economic policy in numerous cases. This fact challenges a political conception which demands a limited state role but also claims that citizens' preferences 'as they are' should determine the content of policies. Using an evolutionary perspective on economic liberalism, the book develops new arguments about how economic liberalism can be brought into line with political liberalism
    Abstract: ch. 1. Preferences for the welfare state as a challenge for economic liberalism -- ch. 2. The liberal model of market order : the evolutionary view -- ch. 3. Preferences versus choice in politics : a conception of feasible democratic politics -- ch. 4. The underestimation of political opportunity costs -- ch. 5. Learning liberalism in the welfare state : reviewing economic liberalism

    Abstract: Faced with intensified environmental degradation and decreased agricultural land productivity, the Chinese government has sought policy interventions to reverse both of these negative trends. Among the policy instruments is the Conversion of Cropland to Forest and Grassland Program (CCFGP) that aims to change the pattern of agricultural land use in 25 provinces and autonomous regions across China. This book provides the most comprehensive assessment of the CCFGP undertaken to date. It allows the consideration of fundamental questions pertaining to the sustainability of the land use changes brought about by the CCFGP, its cost effectiveness and the prospects for policy evolution. Contributions from a wide range of economists and scientists in the book provide policymakers in the Chinese government with relevant information with which to pursue more effectively agro-environmental goals

    Abstract: This book seeks to gain a better understanding of the paradoxical relationship between the alleged need of European labour markets to become more flexible and the way in which national policies pursue this aim without jeopardising existing high standards of income and employment security. Special interest is devoted to the way in which countries opt for different policy routes to cope with the aim of balancing flexibility and security goals in their respective labour market and social protection policies. The contributions in this book all try to unveil the particular changes or transitions occurring in the various labour markets, to learn about their medium and longer term effects and the role of institutions and policies to cushion the adverse consequences of these changes. By studying some "best practices" in Denmark, Canada and Australia they also draw some important lessons about the reasons why national policies might either fail or better cope with the challenges Europe face today

    Abstract: Based upon the very latest data available, the underlying premise of the book is that mobile telecommunications is such a fast-moving sector that operators are obliged to alter their international strategies as circumstances unravel without necessarily having a long-term master plan, and hence that opportunism is a hallmark of operators’ international strategies. This state-of-the-art overview of the internationalisation of mobile telecommunications will prove essential reading for academics and practitioners with a vested interest in technology, telecommunications and strategic management

    Abstract: Increasing numbers of free trade and economic partnership agreements have been concluded among many countries in East Asia, and economic integration has progressed rapidly on both a de facto and de jure basis. However, as the authors of this book argue, integration may intensify regional inequalities in East Asia and so this process has attracted much attention of late. Will it actually succeed in achieving greater economic growth or will it in fact cause growing regional disparity?

    Abstract: The number of central banks in the world is approaching 180, a tenfold increase since the beginning of the twentieth century. What lies behind the spread of this economic institution? What underlying process has brought central banks to hold such a key role in economic life today? This book examines from a transatlantic perspective how the central bank has become the bank of banks. Thirteen distinguished economists and central bankers have been brought together to evaluate how central banks work, arrive at their policies, choose their instruments and gauge their success in managing economies, both in times of crisis and periods of growth

    Abstract: Why do power prices seem to be correlated with the carbon price in some markets and not in others? This crucial question is at the centre of Francesco Gullì's enlightening book, through which the contributing authors investigate a number of related issues. In particular, they explore why power firms are not consistent in passing-through into power prices the opportunity cost of carbon. They also examine the relationship between the pass-through mechanism and the structure of the power market

    Abstract: The book begins with a discussion of how shutting down the pipelines of funding is as important as dismantling the terrorist cells themselves. Next, the book covers the various means and methods used by terrorist groups to raise money, and examines how money is transferred globally to finance their lethal activities. The principal components of the legal strategy to disrupt the financing of terrorism are then discussed and evaluated. Unfortunately, the author concludes that the legal regime has met with mixed results, and finds that the sense of urgency to deprive terrorists of funding that existed following 9/11 has since dissipated. As a result, international efforts to freeze terrorist assets have dramatically declined. Moreover, the US Department of Justice has suffered several embarrassing and disappointing legal defeats in prosecuting major terrorist financiers. The author provides numerous recommendations to Congress, the Executive Branch, and the UN Security Council for strengthening the legal regime to deny terrorists the money needed to wage global jihad, acquire weapons of mass destruction, and launch another terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11

    Abstract: Dino Falaschetti and Michael Orlando unify the treatment of the many deeply related topics in money and banking in this wide-ranging book. By continually building on the assumption that economic actors are maximizers, they explain how monetary and financial services, as well as related governance mechanisms, influence economic performance. In this manner, Money, Financial Intermediation and Governance not only lets readers make sense of today's monetary authorities and financial markets, it lets them see through superficial complexities to the fundamental influences that will shape those organizations for years to come

    Abstract: Transitional Labour Markets (TLM) - defined as legitimate, negotiated and politically supported sets of various employment options in critical events over the life course - are an essential ingredient of modern full employment strategies. After assessing the European Employment Strategy, this book offers a detailed comparative analysis of employment performance for selected European member states and the United States. It suggests that successful employment systems arise from a new paradigm of flexibility and security ('flexicurity') the balance of which varies according to countries' institutional paths. Whilst there is no 'best practice', TLM theory does provide normative and analytical principles that can be generalised for various institutional settings. The book also provides good practice examples for managing critical transitions over the life course - from education to employment, from one job to another, from unemployment to employment, from private activities to gainful work and from employment to retirement - and develops the contours for extending unemployment insurance to work-life insurance

New forms of governance in labour market policy : are there any limits to privatisation? -- ch. 8. Managing risks through transitional labour markets : can flexibility and security be married?

    Abstract: This detailed, comprehensive study on downsizing in Europe is underpinned by cross-national, interdisciplinary empirical research on restructuring management in five European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. It contains systematic national comparative overviews, and transversal analyses of more than 30 in-depth case studies, taking into account a broad range of perspectives across professional human resources managers, unions" representatives, local and national civil servants, social workers and physicians. The authors examine strategic choices and practices in national and local contexts, showing that the practice of restructuring is not as heterogeneous as many previous studies have indicated or predicted. Systematic policy proposals for better economic and social management of restructuring are also prescribed

    Abstract: Networks have a widespread economic significance. They structure the way that market traders interact and configure relations within and between social groups, urban centres and nation states. Networks also determine patterns of authority and dominance in hierarchical organisations such as governments. This authoritative selection of recent work on the economics of networks will appeal to researchers in microeconomics, spatial and business economics as well as international economics and development. Social scientists and natural scientists will also find the book useful as a guide to the increasing wealth of economic literature on networks

    Abstract: Benefit-cost analysis reduces all of the impacts of a proposed policy change to a common unit of measurement. It is used in a wide variety of fields including agriculture, life and health, transportation and the environment. In this single volume the editors, both leading scholars in their field, present a judicious selection of previously published papers indispensable to the study of applied benefit-cost analysis. The comprehensive collection is an essential resource to scholars, researchers and policymakers alike

    Abstract: This book explores the great challenge of increasing the scope of intermodal freight transport. In view of the current dominant role of road transport and the increasing difficulties in coping with a growing number of vehicles in an efficient and sustainable way, intermodal freight transport could be considered a viable alternative. However, the book makes recognition of the fact that there is still a need to improve the performance of the intermodal transport system

    Keywords: Marktmechanismus ; Marktwirtschaft ; Kapitalismus ; Markets ; Capitalism ; Free enterprise ; Electronic books ; Markt ; Theorie
    Abstract: An accessible and enjoyable look at the way the market REALLY works! How Markets Work presents a new and refreshing introduction to elementary economics. The venerable theory of supply and demand is reconstituted upon plausible and defensible assumptions concerning human nature, the law, and the facts of everyday life - in short - the 'Real World'. The message is that markets differ in ways that matter. Starting with a brief survey of property and contract law, the lectures develop several 'ideal types' of markets - such as credit, assets, and labor - while illuminating the similarities and differences among them. Care has been taken to ensure that the reformulations presented are accessible to students and compatible with a variety of non-mainstream traditions in economic thought

    Abstract: This thoroughly accessible textbook shows students how microeconomic theory can be used and applied to major issues of public policy. In this way, it will improve their understanding of both microeconomic theory and policy and also develop their ability to critically assess them. Clem Tisdell and Keith Hartley have expanded upon their previous successful work on microeconomics. As a result, this new book is considerably updated with substantial chapter revisions, as well as new chapters dealing with business management, ownership, environmental issues, public choice, defence, conflict and terrorism

    Abstract: In large parts of the world, the reduction in the viability of agriculture and rural areas is an escalating problem. Sustainable Land Management offers a contemporary overview of the strategies employed to cope with the marginalisation of agriculture, through analyses of case studies and regional trends in marginalisation. The authors argue that complexities and driving forces governing marginalisation are not always the same across nations and regions due to climate, geography, economics, legislation and political status. This book illustrates in what form these complexities exist, and how these unravel at the national and regional levels. As the need to understand and cope with marginalisation processes has developed, the concept of multi-functionality has also gained a vital place in the string of coping strategies. This work contributes essential knowledge for the development of marginalisation mitigation policy actions across the globe. Informative and well-documented, this book will appeal to those researching and working in the fields of agricultural and resource economics, rural geography, environmental governance and sustainable development

    Abstract: Transport pricing is high on the political agenda throughout the world, but as the authors illustrate, governments seeking to implement this often face challenging questions and significant barriers. The associated policy and research questions cannot always be addressed adequately from a mono-disciplinary perspective. This book shows how a multi-disciplinary approach may lead to new types of analysis and insights, contributing to a better understanding of the intricacies of transport pricing and eventually to a potentially more effective and acceptable design of such policies. The study addresses important policy and research themes such as the possible motives for introducing road transport pricing and potential conflicts between these motives, behavioural responses to transport pricing for households and firms, the modelling of transport pricing, and the acceptability of pricing

The links between organisational learning, dynamic capabilities and the implementation of change are analysed. An interesting insight into the constraints and enablers of organisational change is also provided.

    Abstract: Capitalism has outperformed all other systems and maintained a positive growth rate since it began. Svetozar Pejovich makes the case within this book that a major reason for the success of capitalism lies in the efficiency-friendly incentives of its basic institutions, which continuously adjust the rules of the game to the requirements of economic progress. The analysis throughout is consistent and is supported by evidence. Key components of the proposed theory are the rule of law, the market for institutions, the interaction thesis, the carriers of change, and the process of changing formal and informal institutions

    Abstract: This insightful book shows that foreign direct investment (FDI) from emerging markets has grown from negligible amounts in the early 1980s to $210 billion in 2007, with the stock of investment now being well over $1 trillion. This reflects the rise of firms from these economies to become important players in the world FDI market. The contributors to this book comprehensively analyze the rise of emerging market TNCs, the salient features of the transnational activities of these firms, the relationship of outward FDI and the competitiveness of the firms involved, their impact on host and home countries and implications for the international law and policy system

    Abstract: Professor Sigman has selected the most authoritative previously published papers for this pathbreaking collection. This timely book examines private decision-making and government policy for the management of hazardous waste, the clean-up of contaminated land and the redevelopment of brownfield sites. Issues explored include the success of economic incentive policies such as 'green taxes' and tort liability, environmental decentralization and attitudes toward risk by both regulators and households. The additional focus on empirical analysis will help economists understand this challenging public policy area and will make economic insights accessible to policymakers

    Abstract: Competition policy aims to prevent anticompetitive agreements and mergers, limiting the abusive exercise of market power. The formulation and application of this policy presents significant challenges, which include showing that proposed mergers are anticompetitive, proving that firms are members of cartels and defending apparently restrictive vertical agreements. For this insightful volume the editor has selected key papers which illustrate how far we have come towards meeting these challenges. They provide comprehensive developmental coverage of the theory that underpins and justifies competition policy, and of the econometric tests that demonstrate its effects and violations. This timely book will be an invaluable resource to researchers and practitioners alike with an interest in this important subject

    Abstract: The contributors to this book look at the phenomenon of entrepreneurship in emerging regions in India, China, Ireland, Eastern Europe, North and South America, and North and South-East Asia. The organization is designed to take the reader from a general framework for understanding the relationship between economic development and entrepreneurship to more specific examples of how entrepreneurs and their firms respond to the opportunity and threats that are dynamically evolving in such places. The book represents the first serious attempt to suggest new theoretical frameworks for understanding the emergence of entrepreneurship in regions that do not have all of the classical prerequisites (such as financial and human capital, favorable geography, institutional infrastructures, and so on) predicted in extant development models

    Abstract: Using detailed case studies of the first nine mainland Chinese companies to be listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange (1993-94), Alice de Jonge examines the evolution of corporate governance law and culture in China's H-share market. A story emerges not of tensions between ideas of corporate governance from two different legal systems--Hong Kong vs. mainland Chinese--nor about legal convergence as China adopts concepts from Anglo-American jurisdictions. Rather, it is a story of individual firms being pragmatic in mediating the different agendas of state-agencies that own or control them. Corporate Governance and China's H-Share Market looks at corporate governance in a cross-border context, is unique in providing a detailed understanding of China's H-share market, reveals why a beer company was the first ever Chinese firm to be listed overseas. This fascinating work will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars of corporate governance, Asian law and legal systems and Asian business, as well as Chinese scholars more generally. Professionals such as law practitioners working in Chinese law will also find the book of interest

    Abstract: Despite increasing research efforts, there is still much confusion regarding the nature and contribution of the most intangible forms of capital. This book develops a comprehensive and unifying conception of intangible capital in order to understand its role with respect to economic growth, well-being, and rationality. As the book illustrates, utilizing the intangible capital concept enables many new and important economic insights. Intangible capital is defined to include standard human capital, noncognitive human capital (including personal capital), social capital, and other intangible manifestations of human capacity. Understanding intangible capital is a key to realizing the full human potential of our economic systems

    Keywords: Information technology Standards
    Abstract: This book addresses the new field of standards dynamics. It focuses in particular on the tension between standards and change. Standards are points of reference and should therefore be inherently stable (at least to a certain degree). However, technologies change at an increasing pace, particularly in the field of information technology (IT). This requires the development of more standards and more updates, and leads to increased competition between standards. In many situations problems arise, such as how to retain compatibility if standards keep on changing and whether to adopt the new version. If standards are related, how does changing one standard affect the others? The contributing authors gathered here analyse the causes and scale of change in order to demonstrate how to prevent, reduce and cope with its negative impact. Addressing a number of highly up-to-date issues including the sustainability of documents and data, this book will be of great interest to those concerned with innovation, management of technology and the emerging field of standardization studies. In addition, standard-setting organizations and policymakers should be aware of the ambivalence of standards dynamics

    Abstract: Deng Xiaoping's economic strategy is widely regarded as a complete anathema to Mao's, but this study strongly argues that without the material foundations laid by Mao, it would have been very difficult for Deng to launch his reform and open-door policy. Deng basically shared Mao's aspirations and approach in pursuit of China's industrialization, and this had in fact helped to condition him to the successful gradualist methodology. Deng lost patience at times and resorted to the 'big bang' strategy, only to fail miserably. Taken together, the book tells a new story about the economics of China's transition. This is a highly thought-provoking study, blending institutional and convincing statistical analysis
