    Abstract: This book provides analytical, conceptual, and practical insights into how public policy processes and outcomes are conceptualized and framed. Drawing on Ghanaian experiences, but with extensive illustrations from other African countries, it showcases issues of commonality and diversity in public policy with analytical insights and real-life policy concerns that specifically addresses how citizens engage with the state, and how they think and function as social actors within the socio-cultural settings of Africa. The book brings public policy to life as a practical and problem-solving discipline, with examples of how policy actors such as the legislature, governance architects, the media, and the judiciary become arenas for contest. Linking public policy to development paradigms, governance, and responsible citizenship, it is important reading for students and scholars of public policy, governance, and politics in Africa, as well as practitioners. Michael Kpessa-Whyte is an Associate Professor at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana. His research focuses on the nexus between partisan politics and public policy. James Dzisah is Senior Lecturer and Head of the Department of Sociology, University of Ghana. His research focuses on knowledge production, globalization and development .

    Abstract: Chapter 1- Introduction: Governing Gender Equality Policy in Changing State -- Chapter 2- Theorising Shifting Public Governance from a Feminist Perspective -- Chapter 3- Strategic Governance and Gender Equality Policy -- Chapter 4- Workfare Reform and Family Leave Policy -- Chapter 5 - Economic Governance and Gender Budgeting -- Chapter 6 - Evidence-Based Policy and Feminist Knowledge -- Chapter 7- Conclusions.
    Abstract: Not as noisy as populist anti-gender campaigns, neoliberal policy regimes pose an equally significant challenge for gender equality projects. Anna Elomäki and Hanna Ylöstalo are incisive in showing how economic policy, strategic management frameworks and an 'evidence hierarchy' constrain feminist claims but also provide footholds. A must-read book for gender equality advocates, practitioners and scholars in the neo-liberal world far beyond Finland. Marian Sawer, Emeritus Professor, Australian National University, Australia This rich theoretically driven book retraces state transformations within Finland and shows in excellent empirical case studies how gender actors and practitioners try to keep the balance between feminist knowledge and specific gender policy implementation. Elomäki and Ylöstalo show how neoliberal governance reforms are deeply gendered and shift the meaning of gender equality to suit the purpose of state reform. A must read for anyone interested or involved in gendered state policy and economic governance! Stefanie Wöhl, Professor of Politics, UAS BFI Vienna, Austria This book analyses the effects of public governance reforms on gender equality policy in Finland. Recent economic crises, rising austerity and increasing opposition to gender equality have led to the defunding of gender equality bodies, and the side-lining of gender equality as a political goal. This policy backlash has taken place alongside transformations to the state and governance, that have changed the discourses, knowledge, actors, and practices of gender equality policy. This book contributes to these discussions by demonstrating the subtleties of the constantly changing governance reform agendas, their operation in practice, and how they intertwine with other elements of the gender equality policy backlash. It is based on more than 100 interviews with civil servants, politicians, non-governmental organisations, social partners, and think tanks, and a broad range of policy documents and media material. It will appeal to students and scholars of gender studies, public policy and governance. Anna Elomäki is Academy Research Fellow at Tampere University, Finland. Her research interests include economic policies and governance, EU politics and gender equality policy. Hanna Ylöstalo is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Turku, Finland. Her research interests include knowledge-policy relations, welfare state reform and gender equality policy. .

    Abstract: “For those reared on a diet of Saint Pierre, Rousseau and Kant, it will come as a shock to find that British international thought often pre-empted their ideas or developed them separately, based on a deep understanding of commerce and the global balance of powers.” —Peter Niesen, Hamburg University “Britain’s transformation into an economic powerhouse over the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was matched by a formidable group of contributors to economic theory and international political thought. This excellent volume canvasses the ideas of over a dozen prominent “economists,” including Hobbes, Locke and Bentham, as well as Hume and Smith. The work will prove a major resource to scholars in philosophy, the history of political economy, and international relations.” —Margaret Schabas, University of British Columbia-Vancouver, Canada This book articulates international political theory in dialogue with economics on several questions. It asks: how has modern international theory been adjusted and nourished by economic ideas, theories and practices? How far has the distinctive contribution of some theorists to international theory been informed by their views on economy? What has been the impact of the theory of the state for economic and international theory? What sort of economic thinking has led to revise the debates constitutive for the modern international realm? How have economic debates been rhetorically connected to political debates in the field of international relations? Benjamin Bourcier is Associate Professor of Philosophy, ESPOL, Catholic University of Lille, France. His main research interests include the history of international political thought, cosmopolitanism, Jeremy Bentham, the enlightenment. Mikko Jakonen is Professor of Social and Public Policy, University of Eastern Finland. His main research interests are in social policy, work, economy, social theory and history of political thought.

    Abstract: This book is the first of its kind within the African region to combine scholarly perspectives from the fields of Strategic Communication Management and Communication for Development and Social Change. It draws insights from scholars across the African continent by unravelling the complementary nature of scholarship between the two fields, through the lens of prevailing governance and sustainability challenges facing African countries, today. This edited volume covers issues that have adversely affected the achievement of goals related to humanitarian upliftment, development and social change for all African nations. Consequently, citizen participation, which lies at the heart of these challenges when considering the question of sustainable governance and policy development for social change in an African context is addressed. To this end, a reflection is also made on various case studies that exist where local citizens do not inform sustainable development programmes, while the promotion of bottom-up development and social change is largely replaced by top-down instrumental action approaches and hemispheric communication instead of strategic communication. Themes explored include: ● Communication for social change, bottom-up development and social movements in the local government sphere ● Strategic communication in governance, planning and policy reforms ● The role of multi-stakeholder partnerships in achieving development of objectives geared towards good governance in Africa ● Public participation, protests, and resistance from 'below' ● Public sector health communications and development ● Media relations, accountability and contested development narratives with the Fourth Estate ● Social media and eParticipation in government development programs. Tsietsi Mmutle is Senior Lecturer at the University of Pretoria in the department of Business Management, he teaches Strategic Communication Management modules at honours and Masters level in the Communication Management unit. Tshepang B. Molale is Senior Lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand, specializing in communication for development and social change. Olanrewaju Olugbenga Akinola lectures in the Mass Communication department of the Olabisi Onbanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Nigera. Olebogeng Selebi completed her PhD in Communication Management from the University of Pretoria. She was the host of the first Nobel Prize Dialogue event ever to take place on African soil.

    Abstract: “Across thirty three dazzling chapters, this groundbreaking collection from some of the world’s leading migration scholars makes a major contribution to the field of migration studies. Centring south-south migration raises vital theoretical, methodological, and empirical questions for research on mobility globally which go far beyond geographical movements within the symbolic geography of the ‘Global South’. Situated at the cutting edge of these debates, the contributors to this volume offer food for thought for scholars and students from a range of disciplines and locations.” --Lucy Mayblin, Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociological Studies University of Sheffield. Author of Asylum After Empire: Postcolonial Legacies in the Politics of Asylum Seeking (2017) and Migration Studies and Colonialism (with Joe Turner, 2020) This open access handbook examines the phenomenon of South-South migration and its relationship to inequality in the Global South, where at least a third of all international migration takes place. Drawing on contributions from nearly 70 leading migration scholars, mainly from the Global South, the handbook challenges dominant conceptualisations of migration, offering new perspectives and insights that can inform theoretical and policy understandings and unlock migration’s development potential. The handbook is divided into four parts, each highlighting often overlooked mobility patterns within and between regions of the Global South, as well as the inequalities faced by those who move. Key cross-cutting themes include gender, race, poverty and income inequality, migration decision making, intermediaries, remittances, technology, climate change, food security and migration governance. The handbook is an indispensable resource on South-South migration and inequality for academics, researchers, postgraduates and development practitioners.

    Abstract: Introduction: ‘Despots masquerading as democrats’ -- Chapter 1: What is Democracy? -- Chapter 2: How Democracy Backslides? -- Chapter 3: Processes and sequences of backsliding -- Chapter 4: Five cases of backsliding and the rise of autocrats -- Conclusion: What did we learn?.
    Abstract: For the past decade and a half, the world has witnessed a precipitous decline of democratic countries and the consequent rise of autocrats. How Autocrats Rise: Sequences of Democratic Backsliding challenges the conventional wisdom and offers an institutional-ideological approach to understand the phenomenon, examines the steps of emergent autocrats, and analyzes the methods of legitimizing their rules. Employing the new framework, the book provides incisive analyses of four countries located in four different regions with dissimilar national features – Bangladesh, Bolivia, Hungary, and Turkey, and demonstrates that political developments in these countries have followed a similar, specific pattern resulting in various shades of autocracy. Theoretically enriched and empirically grounded, this exceptionally timely book makes significant contribution to the democratic backsliding literature while offering insights on how to forestall an autocratic era. Ali Riaz is a Distinguished Professor of political science at Illinois State University, USA, a Non-resident Senior Fellow of Atlantic Council, and the President of the American Institute of Bangladesh Studies. Riaz previously taught at universities in Bangladesh, England, and South Carolina, USA, worked as a Broadcast Journalist at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in London, and served as a Visiting Researcher at the Varieties of Democracy Institute (V-Dem) at Gothenburg University in Sweden and as a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars at Washington D.C.

    Abstract: This book brings together leading scholars and practitioners from around the globe to examine the current roles of, and future trends in, local government structures and mechanisms in 16 different federal and federal-type countries. In doing so, this volume explores pressing topics such as the institutions of local government, constitutional recognition, local government competencies, financial management, intergovernmental relations, political culture, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the role of local government in federal systems. Contributors to this volume provide a timely and comprehensive account of the integral role local governments play in federal countries and offer illuminating perspectives on how these roles may change as individual federal systems evolve. These individual analyses are contextualized in a comparative perspective in order to gain a holistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities of various local government dynamics in different regions around the world. Chapter 16 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com. Nico Steytler is a professor emeritus at the Dullah Omar Institute of Constitutional Law, Governance and Human Rights of the University of the Western Cape, South Africa.

    Abstract: "Defence procurement has bedeviled governments in Canada, and indeed around the world, for decades. Jeffrey Collins provides an important contribution to finding a better way forward. A must-read for current and aspiring leaders." - Michael Wernick, Clerk of the Privy Council (2016-2019), Jarislowsky Chair in Public Sector Management, University of Ottawa and author of Governing Canada. "If everyone in the business reads this book, Canada saves billions buying kit and it's instantly the most valuable book ever published." - Dr. Ian Brodie, Professor of Political Science, University of Calgary, Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Stephen Harper (2006-2008) and author of At the Centre of Government. "This well-research and authoritative book takes a commonly misunderstood and often maligned process, sheds light on its many challenges, and offers some potentially pragmatic solutions. It is a “should read” for anyone interested in this important topic; and, a “must read” for government officials, elected representatives and media pundits alike.” - Mark Norman, Vice-Admiral, Royal Canadian Navy (Ret’d) This book challenges the perceived underlying causes and culprits of the ongoing challenges in Canadian defence procurement, arguing that although headlines often put the blame on the political leadership, the defence procurement bureaucracy, ongoing pressures in the defence industry and continuous demands placed on Canada though its alliances also carry a large part of the responsibility. Focusing on four main case studies: the Fixed Wing Search and Rescue Plane, the Joint Support Ships, the Medium Support Vehicle System and the Halifax Class Modernization, the author offers a comparative analysis of how these ongoing procurement efforts were dealt with by different administrations, from Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin to Stephen Harper. Jeffrey F. Collins is Adjunct Professor at the University of Prince Edward Island.

    Abstract: Why are we willing to believe that technology can bring about war… but not peace? PeaceTech: Digital Transformation to End War is the world's first book dealing with the use of technological innovation to support peace and transition processes. Through an interwoven narrative of personal stories that capture the complexity of real-time peace negotiation, Bell maps the fast-paced developments of PeaceTech, and the ethical and practical challenges involved. Bell locates PeaceTech within the wider digital revolution that is also transforming the conduct of war. She lays bare the ‘double disruption’ of peace processes, through digital transformation, and through changing conflict patterns that make processes more difficult to mount. Against this backdrop – can digital peacebuilding be a force for good? Or do the risks outweigh the benefits? PeaceTech provides a 12-Step Manifesto laying out the types of practice and commitment needed for successful use of digital tools to support peace processes. This open access book will be invaluable primer for business tech entrepreneurs, peacebuilders, the tech community, and students of international relations, informatics, comparative politics, ethics and law; and indeed for those simply curious about peace process innovation in the contemporary world. Christine Bell is Professor of Constitutional Law. Assistant Principal (Global Justice), and Executive Director of the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform (PeaceRep), based at the School of Law, at the University of Edinburgh. A long-time expert and practitioner in the field of peace processes and constitution-making, she manages digital and PeaceTech innovation.

    Abstract: Based on a deliberative democracy, this book uses a hermeneutic-critical methodology to study bibliographical sources and practical issues in order to analyse the possibilities, limits and consequences of the digital transformation of democracy. Drawing on a two-way democracy, the aim of this book is intended as an aid for thinking through viable alternatives to the current state of democracy with regard to its ethical foundations and the moral knowledge implicit in or assumed by the way we perceive and understand democracy. It is intended to stimulate reflection and discussion on the basis that, by addressing what we understand as democracy, we can inevitably influence the reality known as democracy. Democracy’s evident regression in today’s world makes this all too apparent: it has become a hostage to all kinds of autocracies and technopopulisms, which are supported to a greater or lesser extent by the current algorithmic revolution.

    Abstract: GLOBAL ISSUES Series Editors: Jim Whitman · Paolo D. Farah This comparative law book aims at formulating a new analytical approach to constitutional comparisons, assuming as a starting point the different legal perspectives implied in the (Sunni) Islamic outlook on the juridical phenomena and the Western concept of law, with particular reference to constitutionalism. The volume adopts a wider and comprehensive viewpoint, comparing the different ways in which the Islamic sharī ʿa and Western legal categories interact, regardless of substantive contents of specific provisions, thus avoiding conceptual biases that can sometime affect present literature on the matter. The book explores the various dynamics subtended to the interactions between sharī ʿa and Western constitutionalism, providing a new classification to the different contemporary models. The philosophical and legal comparisons are analyzed in a dynamic way, based on a wide range of contemporary constitutional systems, virtually encompassing all the States in which Sunni Islam plays a major cultural role, and taking also into consideration non-State actors and non-recognized actors. Federico Lorenzo Ramaioli, PhD, is an Italian diplomat and lawyer,presently serving as Deputy Head of the Mission of the Italian Embassy to Doha, Qatar. He is Senior Research Associate at gLAWcal.

    Abstract: This open access book provides an overview of urban digital platforms such as Airbnb and Deliveroo, which, along with Amazon, Google, Facebook and other IT companies, constitute by now the infrastructures for other businesses to operate on and for our social life to go on. These platforms serve as standards-based techno-economic systems that simultaneously capture cooperation through remote coordination and organize labor via algorithm management. Based on a three-years research project, this contributed volume outlines a general theory of platform capitalism that conceives these platforms not only as technical devices, but as generative engines that operate at the interface of several aspects, such as digitalization of forms of social cooperation; algorithm-based management of labor and participation; and private and vertical appropriation of profits. These elements are somehow iconic of the capitalist evolution of the last decades, and they open up a reflection on new forms of “primitive accumulation” (in particular regarding data), on the mechanisms used to capture and extract social surplus value, and on the logistic-financial dimensions of capital. Finally, in light of the transformations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors examine how platforms can evolve into hegemonic organizational structures. Assuming we are all already living in the age of the platform, this book takes a multifaceted approach—combining sociology with urban studies, and political sciences with economics—to grasp the challenges our societies face in terms of ensuring fair economic growth, adequate social protections, and labor rights. It will appeal to anyone interested in digital platforms and how they are changing the organization of labor, urban spaces, and forms of governance.

    Abstract: "This insightful book offers a comprehensive exploration of governance structures in microfinance institutions, shedding light on their impact on outreach and sustainability in Bangladesh. Dr. Uddin's thorough analysis, supported by global perspectives and evidence-based recommendations, makes it an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners in the fields of economics, corporate governance, and microfinance administration" -- Professor Dr. M Kabir Hassan, Department of Economics and Finance in the University of New Orleans, USA This book identifies the effect of governance structure components on outreach and sustainability of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Bangladesh. It is designed to study and understand these structures with reference to the changing forms and functions of MFI administration, in theory and practice, with experiences from selected countries. It helps readers understand corporate governance across the globe with recent developments in this sector. It provides evidence from Bangladesh on what aspects need to be strengthened and identifies the importance of considering differences in institutional values, culture, and environment while pointing to the risk of applying normative assertions of governance structure. The book suggests that a regulatory and supervisory framework should be introduced in Bangladesh to enhance the governance structure of MFIs. It advocates that the sector requires a robust regulatory environment to improve its governance and administrative frameworks and expand the microfinance sector's outreach and sustainability opportunities. It will benefit researchers and students of economics, corporate governance, accountability, transparency, finance, business administration, microfinance institutions, and applied fields, as well as microfinance practitioners, administrators, and policymakers. Md. Nazim Uddin is a Post-doctoral research fellow at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and a research fellow at Ankara University, Turkey. He completed PhD in business administration (finance) from IIUM. Dr. Uddin is the author of several books, many book chapters and peer-reviewed articles.

Mit praktischen Anleitungen und erhellenden Fallstudien bietet das Buch eine einzigartige Reise der persönlichen Entdeckung, die den Leser auf einen Weg zu mehr innerem Frieden führt." - Gareth Owen OBE, Humanitärer Direktor, Save the Children UK International, London "Diejenigen, die mit Menschen arbeiten, lehren und dieses Thema studieren, müssen dieses Buch lesen!" - Graciela Tonon, Professorin für Lebensqualität und Forschungsmethodik, Universidad de Palermo, Argentinien. Buenos Aires, Argentinien "Dieses Buch ist ein Geschenk, denn es erinnert uns daran, dass wir durch unser Sein unsere Umgebung modellieren können, indem wir in anderen Respekt für das kollektive Wohl hervorrufen!" - Marielle Sander, UNFPA-Repräsentantin, Port Moresby, Papua-Neuguinea Das Buch bietet Perspektiven für und von Menschen die die Welt verändern. Basierend auf dem POZE-Paradigma, wonach die individuelle Existenz eine Komposition aus zweimal 4 Dimensionen ist, veranschaulichen die vorliegenden Perspektiven das ständige Wechselspiel, von Wandel und Wirkung. Das Leben ist ein Kaleidoskop das sich organisch entwickelt. Diese Perspektive macht die Aussage "Wir können die Welt verändern" zu einem pragmatischen Unterfangen - das mit dem Bestreben des Einzelnen, sich zu verändern und Veränderung zu leben, beginnt. POZE und dieses Buch inspirieren die Leserinnen und Leser ihr bestes Selbst zu entfalten. Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt.

Research Challenges for Enabling Social-ecological Tipping Points Toward Regional Sustainability Transformations.
    Abstract: This open access book provides the first comprehensive review of the state of the art of social tipping points applied to energy systems from a social interdisciplinary perspective. It does so by presenting a novel theory of systemic and transformative change, linking it to empirical cases assisted with relevant assessment methodologies, including modeling. The authors unveil the narratives and visions, the transformative capacities as well as deliberate strategies and collective actions that at one point in time have been able - or were prevented - to tip a given social-ecological system towards low-carbon, sustainable trajectories in diverse high-intensive carbon regions around the world. This volume shows that self-reinforcing learning feedbacks connecting transformative solutions and strategies across scales and domains can be induced by targeted policy interventions both in local and regional contexts. It further indicates how changes in behavioral patterns, supported by good governance of disruptive technologies, carbon (dis)investment and finance processes as well as new forms of civic engagement, can create the necessary transformative enabling conditions for the emergence of positive tipping points towards low-carbon sustainable futures. The book is a must-read for students, researchers, and scholars, as well as policy-makers and practitioners interested in a better understanding of sustainability, climate, and energy issues and in assessing the potential impacts and effectiveness of strategic interventions aimed at accelerating just sustainable decarbonization processes.

    Abstract: This book offers a comprehensive overview of current debates on the influence of the Olympic Games on cities, urban policies and the governance of global cities, making a valuable contribution to the fields of Olympic studies and urban studies. Historically, Western cities such as Paris, London, and later Los Angeles, have been the primary hosts of the summer Games. However, the link that existed between the world metropolises of the last century and the Games has deeply changed. Growing concerns about the Games' costs and environmental impact have prompted a shift in the expectations of candidate cities and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This evolution favours more modest bids, and a resurgence of global cities and historical Olympic host cities within the Olympic landscape. This book is an essential resource for researchers in Olympic studies, urban studies, and all those involved in the planning of these events. Alexandre Faure is Associate Researcher at the France-Japan Foundation of the EHESS. His research focuses on the study and analysis of the influence of the Olympic Games on cities, as well as on the link between global cities and the Olympic Games. .

    Abstract: "Dies ist eine sehr reichhaltige Monografie, die auf einer beeindruckenden Feldforschung in China basiert und die ausgezeichnete qualitative und ethnografische Forschungsfähigkeiten, Forschungsintegrität und kulturelle Wahrnehmungsfähigkeit in der Analyse demonstriert. Dieses Buch wird einen großen Beitrag zur Literatur über Politiktransfer und -mobilität sowie über Stadtpolitik im zeitgenössischen China leisten, da es ein umfassendes Verständnis der konkreten Praktiken des Transfers und des Lernens 'vom Ausland' bietet." Claire Colomb, Professorin für Urbanistik und Planung am University College London, Großbritannien. Dieses Buch untersucht das Konzept der behutsamen Stadterneuerung, ein Konzept der Stadterneuerung, das in den 1980er Jahren in Berlin entstand und Anfang der 2000er Jahre für Yangzhou, eine chinesische Stadt in der wohlhabenden Provinz Jiangsu, vorgeschlagen wurde. Das Buch geht der Frage nach, ob Wissen und Ideen, die in einem bestimmten Umfeld entstanden sind, auf einen anderen Ort übertragen werden können, der Tausende von Kilometern vom Ursprungsort entfernt ist, und ob sie die Möglichkeit haben, die Politik und die Praktiken der Zielstadt zu verändern. Das Buch zeigt, dass ausländische Ideen ehrgeizige Reformen der Politik einer einzelnen Stadt inspirieren können, dass es aber auch zahlreiche Herausforderungen für das politische Lernen und die Verwurzelung neuer Ideen in der lokalen Praxis gibt. Um diese Herausforderungen zu erforschen, wird in diesem Buch eine Analyse der Mikrodynamik des Politiktransfers entwickelt, die zeigt, dass es mehrere Hierarchien gibt, denen eine chinesische Stadt unterworfen sein kann und die zeitweise "Fenster für politisches Lernen" öffnen oder schließen. Giulia C. Romano ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Ostasienwissenschaften der Universität Duisburg-Essen, Deutschland. Ihr Forschungsschwerpunkt liegt auf der Verbreitung politischer Maßnahmen im Bereich der städtischen Verwaltung und sie hat an der Sciences Po - Paris Politikwissenschaften studiert. Ihr letztes Buch (zusammen mit Jean-François Di Meglio) ist China's Energy Security: A Multidimensional Perspective (2016). Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt.

    Abstract: This Brief provides a primer on collaborative governance and its essential principles. Drawing on examples from the U.S. at the local government level, chapters accentuate the growing utilization of bottom-up approaches in addressing complex societal concerns, with a particular emphasis on public health issues such as HIV/AIDS and the COVID 19 pandemic. The Brief approaches the topic with the following questions in mind: (1) Does collaborative governance provide a viable alternative to complex public problem solving compared to the traditional top-down bureaucratic approach?; (2) Is cross-sector stakeholders’ involvement in collaborative governance a viable pathway forward in the administration of peoples’ affairs?; (3) Can societal well-being be better promoted with non-mandated collaborative governance?; (4) Would the representation and participation of target populations in policy decision making and/or implementation generate constructive and sustainable solutions for societal benefits? ; and (5) Is collaborative governance the future of public management/administration? Providing much needed insights for theory, policy, and praxis, this volume will be of interest to academics and students of public affairs, public management, governance, public health, public policy, and disaster and emergency management, as well as practitioners and policy makers in related fields.

    Abstract: This book provides an account of the transformation of Chinese stakeholders' engagement in Internet governance, from normative contestation to integration, and from isolation to an industrial leadership role. The book concludes that Chinese stakeholders are not seeking to fragment the Internet but are rather integrating in the existing global Internet governance mechanisms while adopting strong regulation domestically. This counters a widespread media (and academic) narrative on China as the promoter of an alternative Internet and/or an alternative model of Internet governance. These conclusions are reached through a mix of qualitative methods, including interviews with people involved first-hand in Internet governance, such as technologists engaged in the making of Internet and mobile connectivity standards. Riccardo Nanni is Researcher in Data Governance at Fondazione Bruno Kessler's Digital Commons Lab. He obtained a Ph.D. in International Relations (June 2022) from the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Bologna (Italy). His Ph.D. thesis discussed the influence of Chinese public and private stakeholders in Internet governance, particularly the making and distribution of Internet and mobile connectivity standards.

Taking Space Seriously in the Study of Local Government Amalgamations -- 7. Conclusion .
    Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of municipal amalgamation reforms in Europe. Adopting the analytical and methodological tools of comparative historical analysis, it examines how the history of local government systems has conditioned the adoption of municipal amalgamation reforms across time and space. Beginning with Sweden’s early amalgamation reforms during the late 1940s and early 1950s, it assesses how the evolution of the Welfare State, decentralization, urbanization, and economic growth have all impacted amalgamation reforms in ten other European countries. The book challenges the prevailing theory that amalgamations are implemented by rational design to improve the efficiency and capacity of local governments. Instead, it argues that state sovereignty, regime changes, centralization of authority and diffusion effects are more likely causes of the adoption of municipal amalgamation reforms. It will appeal to all those interested in public administration, public policy, European politics, and local governance studies. António F. Tavares is Associate Professor at the School of Economics and Management, University of Minho, Portugal. He is also Adjunct Associate Professor at the United Nations University Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance, Portugal.

    Abstract: This open access book explores the relevance of the concept of technology assessment (TA) on an international and global level. Technologies play a key role in addressing global challenges such as climate change, population aging, digitization, and health. At the same time, their use increases the need for coordinated action and governance at the global level in the field of science, technology and innovation (STI). Featuring case studies on STI fields such as energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and health technology, as well as TA activities at the national and international levels, this book reflects on the challenges and opportunities of global technology governance. It also provides an in-depth discussion of current governmental STI cultures and systems, societal expectations, and the policy priorities needed to achieve coordinated and effective STI intervention in policymaking and public debate at the global level. Lastly, the book promotes the establishment of a forum for a truly global dialogue of TA practitioners, fostering the articulation of their needs, knowledge and perspectives.

    Abstract: “This book is very timely. It sheds light on a better Metro Manila within the context of local governance, decentralization and equitable development. Metro Manila’s experience is an excellent study of how institutions continue to evolve given the challenges of metropolitanization and rapid urbanization. This book is a must read for public administration and governance scholars and practitioners who want to understand metropolitan governance not only in the Philippines but in Asia as well.” — Alex Brillantes, Jr., Professor, National College of Public Administration and Governance, University of the Philippines Diliman “As the editors convincingly assert, the framework of decentralized local governance in the Philippines is at a crossroads. Urban governance presents particularly daunting challenges, and nowhere more so than in the megalopolis of Metro Manila. In this landmark volume, authors present innovative and timely reform proposals across a range of policy realms. The volume offers a critical first step toward “a better Metro Manila” as it provides policy guidance toward the goal of more responsible local governance and more equitable development outcomes.” — Paul D. Hutchcroft, Professor of Political Science and Social Change, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, The Australian National University This book contributes to efforts in furthering the democratization and development processes in the Philippines by examining the decentralization efforts in Metro Manila. It explores existing as well as proposed development models for governance with focus on the effective and efficient delivery of social services, bringing forth growth with equity through development efforts, and addressing national-local concerns to promote political and socio economic stability in the country. In doing so, the book examines the strong and weak governance points in the National Capital Region of the Philippines, and identifies areas for reform. Teresa S.

    Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive overview of how the course, content and outcome of policy making is affected by big data. It scrutinises the notion that big and open data makes policymaking a more rational process, in which policy makers are able to predict, assess and evaluate societal problems. It also examines how policy makers deal with big data, the problems and limitations they face, and how big data shapes policymaking on the ground. The book considers big data from various perspectives, not just the political, but also the technological, legal, institutional and ethical dimensions. The potential of big data use in the public sector is also assessed, as well as the risks and dangers this might pose. Through several extended case studies, it demonstrates the dynamics of big data and public policy. Offering a holistic approach to the study of big data, this book will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and data science, as well as those interested in governance and politics. Rebecca Moody is Assistant Professor of Public Administration at Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Her research focuses on the relationship between technology and public policy. Victor Bekkers is Professor of Public Administration at Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

    Abstract: This book explores the theoretical origins, historical foundation, political meaning, and legal development of western constitutionalism, as well as the structure and transformation of constitutional law in the Western World. Introducing the historical background of western constitutional traditions, it links this rich, conceptual framework with the legal arrangements of states’ constitutions and the current trends of the internationalization of constitutional law. Serving as a comprehensive introduction to constitutional studies, this book provides detailed information on the design of legal systems, while addressing the main critical, theoretical issues raised by constitutionalism in western democracies and in the global landscape. This new, third edition covers a broader scope, reflecting recent political and legal transformations, and is enriched in terms of didactic instruments for university students.

It investigates five cases on China’s IP engagement in geographical indications, the disclosure obligation, IP and standardisation, and its bilateral and multilateral IP engagement. It takes a regulation-oriented approach to examine substate and non-state actors involved in China’s global IP engagement, identifies principles that have guided or constrained its engagement, and discusses strategies actors have used in managing the principles. Its focus on engagement directs attention to processes instead of outcomes, which enables a more nuanced understanding of the role that China plays in global IP governance than the dichotomic categorisation of China either as a global IP rule-taker or rule-maker. This book identifies two groups of strategies that China has used in its global IP engagement: forum and agenda-related strategies and principle-related strategies. The first group concerns questions of where and how China has advanced its IP agenda, including multi-forum engagement, dissembling, and more cohesive responsive engagement. The second group consists of strategies to achieve a certain principle or manage contesting principles, including modelling and balancing. It shows that China’s deployment of engagement strategies makes its IP system similar to those of the EU and the US. Its balancing strategy has led to constructed inconsistency of its IP positions across forums. This book argues that China still has some way to go to influence global IP agenda-setting in a way matching its status as the second largest economy.

    Abstract: US Environmental Policy in Action provides a comprehensive look at the creation, implementation, and evaluation of environmental policy, which is of particular importance in our current era of congressional gridlock, partisanship and polarization, and escalating debates about federal/state relations. With a continued focus on the front lines of environmental policy, Rinfret and Pautz take into account the major changes in the practice of US environmental policy during the Trump and Biden administrations. Providing real-life examples of how environmental policy works rather than solely discussing how congressional action produces environmental laws, this third edition of US Environmental Policy in Action offers a practical approach to understanding contemporary American environmental policy. Sara R. Rinfret is Professor of Public Administration and Policy and Master of Public Administration Program Director at Northern Arizona University, USA. Michelle C. Pautz is Professor of Political Science and Associate Dean for Curriculum and Academic Student Success at the University of Dayton, USA. .

    Abstract: Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Arctic Governance: Actors, Processes, and Structures -- Chapter 3. Arctic Frontiers and Arctic Circle Assembly -- Chapter 4. Actors in the Arctic Conference Sphere -- Chapter 5. Conferences as Agenda Setting Arenas -- Chapter 6. Conferences within the Arctic Governance Architecture -- Chapter 7. Conclusions: Governance by Conference.
    Abstract: This book examines the functions of conferences within Arctic governance, as a third dimension between sovereign states and formalized cooperative arrangements. It analyzes conferences against the background of three main empirical topics. Firstly, the functions of conferences for different actor groups, both Arctic rights holders and emerging non-Arctic state actors claiming stakeholder status. From this, the book also analyzes how conferences contribute to altering the actor composition of Arctic governance as a whole. Secondly, conferences as agenda setting arenas – whether conference activities can contribute to influencing the broader agenda in the region, and conferences as arenas for agenda setting – whether participants can bring with them topics that are picked up and brought into other processes. Thirdly, the book considers the space for conferences within broader governance architectures, as links between units in the regime complex. The book further presents an in-depth case study of the two largest conferences on Arctic issues: the Arctic Frontiers and Arctic Circle Assembly. It illustrates the diverse functions conferences can have for elements within a broader governance system, beyond serving as meeting places and networking arenas. Therefore, it is a must-read for researchers, students, and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of Arctic governance in particular, and International Relations in general.

    Abstract: Introduction -- Political Legitimacy Under Epistemic Constraints -- An Epistemic Reading of the Ideal of Co-Authorship -- Justification Under Nonideal Circumstances: Reflective Agreement and Relational Liberalism -- The Ideal of Public Justification Revisited -- Compromises for a Pluralistic World -- A Case Study: Extending Marriage Rights to Same-Sex Couples -- Conclusion.
    Abstract: This book investigates the unresolved issue of democratic legitimacy in contexts of pervasive disagreement and contributes to this debate by defending a relational version of political liberalism that rests on the ideal of co-authorship. According to this proposal, democratic legitimacy depends upon establishing appropriate interactions among citizens who ought to ascribe to one another the status of putative practical and epistemic authorities. To support this relational reading of political liberalism, the book proposes a revised account of the civic virtue of reasonableness along with an investigation of the epistemic-specific dimension of political equality. By engaging with political epistemology and social theory, this book explores ways to address inherent tensions within the liberal paradigm, using the following strategies of addressing these tensions: first, it defends a twofold model of legitimacy that distinguishes the goals, methodologies, and justificatory tasks of both ideal and nonideal phases of the two-level justificatory framework; second, it contends that democratic legitimacy requires an engaged and contextual critical appraisal of the injustices that characterize our daily social lives, illustrating how structural forms of injustice represent a profound betrayal of the liberal ideal of democratic legitimacy.

    Abstract: In this well-written book and valuable contribution to improving PPPs, Joshua Steinfeld provides insightful theoretical, conceptual, and practical approaches for Public-Private Stewardship practices for achieving improved VFM and PPP outcomes.” — Rene Rendon, Associate Professor, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, USA “Joshua Steinfeld has masterfully discussed and assimilated longstanding Defense and Federal acquisition tenets into and practical processes and actual examples for successful public and private sector partnerships.” —Jeff Brunner, Senior Acquisition Advisor to the Chairman, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff (Retired), Washington, DC, USA “As governments and firms partner on large complex projects, Dr. Steinfeld provides a compelling case of the need to align public values with business interests to ensure a successful outcome. Dr. Steinfeld’s tour through recent U.S. Department of Defense procurement provides an illustrative context for these increasingly common partnerships.” —Trevor Brown, Dean, John Glenn College of Public Affairs, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA This book introduces public-private stewardship (PPS) as a theory and concept to achieve value-for-money (VFM) in public-private partnerships (PPPs). PPS incorporates the public stewardship tenets of fiduciary responsibility and advancing public interest factoring in private sector elements. Value propositions can be derived from shared values of transparency, accountability, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, innovation, and security that support decision making for inter-organizational mission, strategy, operations, and objectives. PPS practices ensue as the public-private steward utilizes competencies in procurement and contracting. Seven portraits of PPS to achieve VFM are illustrated by Department of Navy and Department of Defense examples. Joshua M. Steinfeld is Assistant Professor of Public Service, Director of the Graduate Certificate in Public Procurement & Contract Management, and Director of the Graduate Certificate in Public Sector Leadership at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA.

    Abstract: In diesem Buch wird argumentiert, dass Demokratien, die aus friedlichen Protesten hervorgegangen sind, länger bestehen, ein höheres Maß an demokratischer Qualität erreichen und mit größerer Wahrscheinlichkeit mindestens zwei friedliche Machtwechsel erleben als Demokratien, die aus gewaltsamem Widerstand oder einer Liberalisierung von oben hervorgegangen sind. Anhand von Fallstudien zur demokratischen Konsolidierung in Afrika und Lateinamerika kommt das Buch zu dem Ergebnis, dass gewaltfreier Widerstand einen integrativeren Übergangsprozess schafft, der langfristig widerstandsfähiger gegen den Zusammenbruch der Demokratie ist. Die Übersetzung aus dem mit Englischen wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz (anhand einer maschinellen Übersetzung durch einen Service von DeepL.com) angefertigt. Da die anschließende Überprüfung hauptsächlich im Hinblick auf inhaltliche Gesichtspunkte erfolgte, kann sich der Text des Buches stilistisch von einer konventionellen Übersetzung unterscheiden. Springer Nature arbeitet bei der Publikation von Büchern kontinuierlich mit innovativen Technologien, um die Arbeit der Autoren zu unterstützen.

    Abstract: “A welcome focus on public policy and policy challenges from an extraordinarily diverse set of authors… It is rare to find such substantive breadth in a single volume.” —Catherine Boone, Professor, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK "Contributions from a variety of very accomplished researchers, primarily based in the region, tackle a series of important policy issues using a much-needed political lens.” —Anne Mette Kjær, Professor, Aarhus University, Denmark “This book is perhaps the most comprehensive coverage of politics and public policy in a single African region.” —Philip O. Nying’uro, Associate Professor, University of Nairobi, Kenya “This book is as insightful as it is needed… An important contribution on Eastern Africa with implications well beyond the region.” —Nic Cheeseman, Professor, University of Birmingham, UK This book analyses major themes in twenty-first-century east African politics. Predominantly authored by researchers and academics from the region, it examines recent political developments, public policy and governance across east and southern African countries. The book advocates for a regionally-focused comparative approach across Africa, arguing that it provides a greater level of analysis than a complete continental study. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, it covers numerous topics relating to politics, public policy, state and nation-building in Africa. Filling an important void in current literature, the book will appeal to academics, practitioners, politicians and students of politics, public policy and governance.

    Abstract: This book addresses the multiple dimensions of the limited reach, or breakdown, of central authority in border regions of Arab states, and their implications for state sovereignty and modes of governance. These include the emergence of illicit networks of exchange, the rise of new nonstate actors in border regions, including paramilitary or jihadi groups, and the transformation of border areas into areas of regional conflict. Collectively, the essays in this volume address such processes, which have been observable in conflict-stricken countries such as Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, and in fragile political or economic contexts, like the ones in Lebanon, Tunisia, and Algeria, as well as in relatively stable Emirates such as Kuwait. The contributions also shed light on how border peripheries in the Arab world have impacted the center of political and economic power in their states. Maha Yahya is Director of the Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center, Beirut, Lebanon, where her work focuses broadly on political violence and identity politics, pluralism, development and social justice, the challenges of citizenship, and the political and socio-economic implications of the migration/refugee crisis.

    Abstract: “A robust, well-theorised, and incisive critique that exposes the inattention of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the histories, legacies, voices, aspirations, and authority of Indigenous peoples. A timely contribution to contemporary debates on nationhood, sovereignty, Indigenous recognition, and social justice.” ---Professor Tanya Fitzgerald, The University of Western Australia, Australia “Asserting that Indigenous self-determination is ‘colonialism’s antithesis’, O’Sullivan navigates the interconnected relationships between culture, self-determination, and sustainable development, affirming that continued policy failure in indigenous affairs is not inevitable.” ---Dr Jessa Rogers, Queensland University of Technology, Australia "A leader in indigenous political theory, O'Sullivan produces a series of arguments that wrench the UN's Sustainable Development Goals from their non-indigenous biases, in order to preserve the hope that they might serve the whole of humanity. A formidable work of indigenous political theory from one of this emerging discipline's foremost scholars." ---Dr Lindsey MacDonald, University of Canterbury, New Zealand This is the first scholarly book to examine the UN Sustainable Development Goals from an indigenous perspective. It refers to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and domestic instruments such as New Zealand’s Tiriti o Waitangi to suggest how the goals could be revised to support self-determination as a more far-reaching and ambitious project than the goals currently imagine. The book draws on Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand experiences to analyse the goals’ policy relevance to wealthy states and indigenous rights in established liberal democracies. Dominic O’Sullivan is Professor of Political Science at Charles Sturt University, Adjunct Professor at the Auckland University of Technology and Academic Associate at the University of Auckland. He is from the Te Rarawa and Ngati Kahu iwi of New Zealand, and this is his ninth book. The most recent, Sharing the Sovereign: Indigenous Peoples, Recognition, Treaties and the State was published by Palgrave in 2021.

    Abstract: This book discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on international relations theories. As a phenomenon, AI is everywhere in the real world and growing. Through its transformative nature, it is simultaneously simplifying and complicating processes. Importantly, it also overlooks and 'misunderstands'. Globally, leaders, diplomats and policymakers have had to familiarise themselves and grapple with concepts such as algorithms, automation, machine learning, and neural networks. These and other features of modern AI are redefining our world, and with it, the long-held assumptions of IR held by the scholars for their theoretical accounts of our universe. The book takes a historic, contemporary and long-term approach to explain and anticipate AI’s impact on IR – and vice versa – through a systematic treatment of nine theoretical paradigms and schools of thought including realism, liberalism, feminism, postcolonial theory and green theory. This book draws on original datasets, innovative empirical case studies and in-depth engagement with the core claims of the traditional and critical theoretical lenses to reignite debates on the nature and patterns of power, ethics, conflict, and systems among states and non-state actors. Bhaso Ndzendze is Senior Lecturer and Head of Department: Politics and International Relations at the University of Johannesburg where he lectures a postgraduate course on technology dynamics in international relations. His recent books include The Political Economy of Sino-South African Trade and Regional Competition (Palgrave Macmillan) and Artificial Intelligence and International Relations with Professor Tshilidzi Marwala. He is also editor-in-chief of the journal Digital Policy Studies. Tshilidzi Marwala is the Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

    Abstract: This open access book presents the state-of-the-art environmental governance research and practices in Indonesia. It offers a wide scope, covering different sectors (e.g., forestry, mining) and geographical landscapes (e.g., inland and coastal areas). This book engages with existing theories and frameworks, including Earth System Governance, Adaptive and Interactive Governance, among others to trigger a debate regarding the operationalization of such concepts, which are mostly developed for the Global North context. It is also our ambition to incorporate more empirical knowledge from local contexts to indicate research gaps and future directions for environmental governance research agenda to be more diverse, inclusive, and facilitate the incorporation of inter-and transdisciplinary knowledge. This book will be useful for researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers who are interested in the field of environmental governance, especially in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the countries with the fastest-growing economies in Asia. Indonesia is rich in natural resources but also suffers from overexploitation and environmental threats exacerbated by climate and human pressures. Along with the growing global ambitions for achieving sustainable development and capacity to adapt to current and future threats, including climate change impacts and disaster risk, Indonesia's commitments to balance development while safeguarding a good environmental status are also increasing. The challenge is on how to govern complex and systemic natural, social and governance systems while adhering to the principle of equity and justice? As it will require more than traditional hierarchical modes of governance and current regulatory instruments (i.e., law and regulations).

Summary and Conclusions.
    Abstract: This book presents solutions to problems that are total and based on thinking about how and why humans have organized themselves. It discusses how to avoid the now well-documented Holocene Extinction, propelled by climate change, wars, resource depletion, desertification, degrading knowledge quality, famine, and deterioration of societies overall. It explains why we cannot respond effectively with hedonistic, incompetent, corrupt, and anarchistic "liberal democracy" and why neither personality cult regimes can suffice. The book offers a model of an organic social structure embodying a collective consciousness of communitarianism and Platonic-style ethos. Putting an emphasis on the re-establishment of Classical Greek virtue, it offers solutions to resolve identity politics, alienation, and meritocracy. While doing so, the author opposes the "everyone is equal" ideology to govern the section of policymakers, instead circumscribing "rights" in terms of responsibilities, prioritizing education and training to carry forth the ethos of valuing truth above materialism, and developing Durkheim's social brain via a new discipline, "sociointelligence". The book goes on to explain how underpinning these elements is a comprehensive elucidation of often misunderstood words like "liberty", "freedom", "authoritarianism", and "democracy". All of these areas are arranged and combined in uniquely describing the organic society the author deems necessary to avoid human extinction. As a result, the book presents a “new organicity”, where the emerging transhumanism seeks to transcend hydrocarbon-based life with humanly-constructed life. This book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of political science, philosophy, and the social sciences interested in a better understanding of complexity, democratic theory, Holocene Extinction, organic thinking, and meritocratic societies.

    Abstract: This book is explicitly modernist at a time when many scholars have either forgotten the emancipatory promise of the Enlightenment or railed against it in the name of postmodernism. The book, broadly, adopts a hybrid epistemology that utilises the critical insights of Geisteswissenschaften Tradition (Weberian ‘Ideal-Type Analysis’) and the Habermas (1988) notions of the ‘public sphere’ and deliberative/dialogic democracy (‘ideal speech’) to advance a general proposition of democratic renewal by way of cyberdemocracy. Curiously, as democracy spreads across the world in the age of globalisation, it has also been accompanied by increased discontent with democratic systems. To that end, this book is not overly concerned with saving democracy beyond the liberal representative model, rather the focus is on how modern representative democracy has failed and how cyberdemocracy might function as a more effective model that truly represents the people by broadening participation and reflexive deliberation. Harem Karem has recently obtained his Ph.D. in the United Kingdom. He is currently the executive director of a national NGO that focuses on research, training, and media. Formerly, Harem worked as a journalist covering the Middle East and worked as a researcher with a particular focus on democracy and elections. .

    Abstract: In this book, Eurasia will be discussed in the context of the Greater Eurasian Partnership proposed by Russia, the “eastward” transformations spurred by Neo-Eurasianism and the Greater Eurasian Partnership, and cooperation with China through the BRI, while related countries of Atlanticism was used to described the U.S., Europe, and their allies. The Greater Eurasian Partnership proposed by Russia is an initiative with specific diplomatic considerations, economic development strategies, and geopolitical implications. The initiative represents an attempt by Russia to shift foreign policy thinking, which has traditionally focused on alignment with the U.S. and the West. The Greater Eurasian Partnership contains both short-term strategies to cope with Western pressure and long-term strategic goals for building a new international and regional order. What this portends for the future of Sino-Russian relations is of interest to geopoliticians, economists and journalists. Professor Edmund Li Sheng received his M.A. and Ph.D. (political economy) from Universitaet Freiburg, Germany, after graduating with his BA from Peking University. He is currently a university distinguished professor at the Shandong University. His research has focused mainly on political economy and public policy. He has published over 100 research papers in peer-reviewed academic journals, among which 45 were published in journals listed in the Social Sciences Citation Index. He has already published three books with Palgrave: “Political Economy of Macao since 1999: The Dilemma of Success”, “Love and Trade War: China and the U.S. in Historical Context”, “The Belt and Road Initiative in South-South Cooperation: The Impact on World Trade and Geopolitics”. .

    Abstract: The Fate of Political Scientists in Europe not only draws a comprehensive picture of today’s political science and of its scholars, but also reflects in a refreshing and challenging way on what it should be. - Kris Deschouwer, Emeritus Professor, Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Belgium. Giliberto Capano and Luca Verzichelli take us into a fascinating intellectual journey that sheds light on how European scholars conceive of the profession and what attitudes and values animate their research activities. - Manuela Moschella, Associate professor in Political Science, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy. Every so often academic disciplines should take stock of where they have come from, what they are, and what they want to be. This thorough study of European political science is an excellent example of such a stock-taking. - B. Guy Peters, Maurice Falk Professor of American Government, University of Pittsburgh, USA. This open access book offers a systematic survey of the attitudes and values of European political scientists. It builds a structural interpretation based on empirical data, as well as offering reflections on the future structure of the discipline. In the middle of a delicate phase of changes marked by the effects of pandemic and the war in Ukraine, we need to pay attention to the factors that are affecting not only the ‘objects’ of Political Science as a discipline but also its interactions with the world around it. First, this book asks to what extent the work of European political scientists is impacted by the current change. Second, their attitudes and predisposition about the future goals of the discipline are analysed. In the final chapter, the authors seek to understand to what extent a diffuse but still not completely institutionalized academic discipline will be able to produce a comprehensive impact around the European society, in order to be more visible and effective in policy making and policy processes. Giliberto Capano is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at the University of Bologna, Italy. Luca Verzichelli is Professor of Political Science at the University of Siena, Italy.

    Abstract: "Chakrabarti and Dhar creatively and originally combine Marx, Freud, and post-colonialism by rethinking (advancing) each through the lens of the other. They extend and transform earlier such efforts achieving important new insights in and for the now global Marxian tradition." ---Richard D. Wolff, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; Co-founder, Democracy at work This book brings together Marxian philosophy and Lacanian psychoanalysis to argue that the hegemonic form of global capital is founded on the foreclosure of class and world of the third. The authors counterpose the world of the third to the mainstream notion of the third world, seen as a lacking other in desperate need of aid and development. Thus, for them, the hegemonic form of global capital is engendered through the foregrounding of the poor, victim third world and the foreclosure of the non-capitalist world of the third. Building on what they characterize as an ab-original reading of Marxian historical materialism and the Lacanian real, the authors seek to conceptualize a counter-hegemonic revolutionary subject as a basis for postcapitalist alternatives to the hegemonic form of global capital. Anjan Chakrabarti is Professor of Economics at the University of Calcutta, India. Anup Dhar is former Professor of Philosophy at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University, India.

    Abstract: This book provides an overview of the inception, development and achievements of British socialist and workers theatre – a feat which has not been attempted before. It explores the connections between politics and culture (specifically theatre) and between political theory and cultural (theatrical) expression. The book is organized chronologically and uncovers much in labour and theatre history which is in danger of being lost. It can also be seen as a way into different moments in its subject’s story (e.g. post-Ibsen naturalism; agitprop theatre; ‘fringe’ theatre of the 1970s) and the relationship of such forms to specific political events and ideas at specific points in history. Robert Leach taught at Birmingham and Edinburgh Universities and was also a freelance theatre director. He has published more than a dozen books on theatre subjects, including Theatre Workshop: Joan Littlewood and the Making of Modern British Theatre and An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance both of which were shortlisted for Theatre Book of the Year.

    Abstract: “Free the piggies!” —The New York Press “Reed has captured the state of the farm today.” —The Fort Myers News-Press “A dizzying feat of writing and scholarship.” —Lynne Tillman “One plays this terrifying guessing game of animal a clef: which animal am I? Which animal is my neighbor?” —Jonathan Ames This book is the first and definitive reassessment of George Orwell, twenty-first century, written by an author at the nexus of Orwell's controversial literary, political and historical legacies. In The Never End, rabble-rouser, dogged investigator, and consummate literary stylist John Reed collects two decades of subject-Orwell findings published in Pank, Guernica, Literary Hub, The Brooklyn Rail, The Rumpus, The New York Press, The Believer, Harper’s Magazine and The Paris Review. Reed’s treatment of Orwell is corrective and peerlessly contemporary; he views Orwell in a twenty-first century global context, considering Orwell’s collaboration with Cold War intelligence operations—US and UK—with unfaltering objectivity. It’s hard to imagine that Orwell—in our own moment of global doublethink—wouldn’t have wanted his devotion to contrariety applied to the literary legacy he left behind. Animal Farm, based on a previously unknown Russian short story? Animal Farm, deployed by the CIA, MI6 and the Congress for Cultural Freedom? Orwell, turning over blacklists in a McCarthy-esque act of betrayal? The Cold War? Does it last forever? Russia, the “Axis of Evil,” and now China? But. Orwell. Course syllabi. Literary laurels. Snitch. Why do we keep coming back? For the wrong reasons? Or because we know Old Benjamin would want us to know the truth? John Reed, associate professor and the current director of the MFA in Creative Writing at The New School University, is the author of numerous works, including Snowball's Chance, the unauthorized companion to Animal Farm. He’s contributed to, among other venues: Slate, The Paris Review, The Times Literary Supplement, The Wall Street Journal, Vice, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and Harper’s Magazine. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University.

    Abstract: This volume brings together a diverse set of scholars to address the long theoretical, conceptual and political debate on the interpretation of “actually existing” socialism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. While the major paradigms – totalitarianism, neo-totalitarianism, revisionism, post-revisionism, modernization, and the world-system analysis – are well known in the Western (English-language) literature, the concept of state socialism, which has strong theoretical roots in Hungary (going back to the works of György Lukács and István Mészáros) received less international attention. This book contributes to a productive discussion about viable alternatives to capitalism by introducing and theoretically elaborating on the concept and practice of state socialism, highlighting the historical significance of Hungary’s experiment with the “new economic mechanism” of 1968. It generates a common point of reference for various generations of anti-systemic thinkers, scholars, and activists to move beyond Cold War simplifications and ideological divides, and contributes to the discussion about anti-capitalist alternatives, which are relevant today for the global left.

    Abstract: This book is a guide to non-academic careers for quantitative social scientists. Written by social science PhDs working in large corporations, non-profits, tech startups, and alt-academic positions in higher education, this book consists of more than a dozen chapters on various topics on finding rewarding careers outside the academy. Chapters are organized in three parts. Part I provides an introduction to the types of jobs available to social science PhDs, where those jobs can be found, and what the work looks like in those positions. Part II creates a guide for social science PhDs on how to set themselves up for such careers, including navigating the academic world of graduate school while contemplating non-academic options, and selling their academic experience in a non-academic setting. Part III offers perspectives on timelines for making non-academic career decisions, lifestyle differences between academia and non-academic jobs, and additional resources for those considering a non-academic route. Providing valuable insight on non-academic careers from those who have successfully made the transition, this volume will be an asset to graduate students, advisors, and recent PhDs, in quantitative social science. .

    Abstract: This open access book examines data governance and its implications for policymaking in Africa. Bringing together economists, lawyers, statisticians, and technology experts, it assesses gaps in both the availability and use of existing data across the continent, and argues that data creation, management and governance need to improve if private and public sectors are to reap the benefits of big data and digital technologies. It also considers lessons from across the globe to assess principles, norms and practices that can guide the development of data governance in Africa. The book will appeal to scholars and students of data governance, technology and public policy, as well as practitioners and policy makers.

    Abstract: “This welcomed and important book immensely enriches the literatures on peace studies, Global IR, and Latin American contributions to international society. It focuses upon seven Latin American Nobel Peace recipients ranging from Carlos Saavedra Lamas (1936) to Juan Manuel Santos (2016), and their impact on ideas and practices of peace in Latin America and beyond, including issue-areas such as mediation and diplomacy, human rights, nuclear disarmament, indigenous rights, peacekeeping, reconciliation, and ending civil wars.” — Prof. Arie M. Kacowicz, Chaim Weizmann Chair in International Relations, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel “From the social activism of Rigoberta Menchú to the global initiatives of UN Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, this book explores the connection between the power of ideas and the actions of peace leaders to build a better world. The authors’ analyses serve as a reminder to academics and diplomats of the importance of taking small and large steps to manage and transform conflict and create institutions with a human focus.” — Ambassador Claudia Fuentes Julio, Permanent Representative of Chile to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Geneva, Switzerland This book analyzes the contributions of seven Latin American peace actors to reconciliation and conflict resolution: Carlos Saavedra Lamas, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Alfonso García Robles, Óscar Arias Sánchez, Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Juan Manuel Santos, and Javier Pérez de Cuéllar. Working within an eclectic conceptual approach to systematize the difusion of their ideas, the chapters build upon three fundamentals of mainstream constructivism: a) change across time and space in each peace actor’s lifetime; b) socialization through changing norms, rules, and language; and c) processes of interaction in which they chose strategies and built networks. In their respective historical times, their views and ideas transcended the confines of Latin America to influence global political thought and produce change that favored peace.

Andrea Oelsner is Associate Professor and Director of the Political Science and IR Programs at the University of San Andrés, Argentina.

    Abstract: The volume approaches the relations between China and the Catholic Church in a quite comprehensive and unprejudiced way. Its approach is new since it clarifies the root of the persistent antagonism of both the imperial and republican Chinese Authorities toward the Catholic Church: no matter how the Catholic approach has been, they kept their Sino-centric attitude. It also points out the lack of a truly objective and complete understanding of China by the Western society, including Catholic missionaries: from a blind admiration to a negative evaluation, determined by contingent circumstances and motivations. It tries to clarify myths and stereotyped understandings, that have been created during the historical process, including the role of the Jesuits and in particular of Fr. Matteo Ricci. It also pays particular attention to the role of the Vatican in the recent religious policy of Chinese Government. The reading of the book could be enlightening especially for academics, university students and Christian clergy interested in the history of Catholic Missions in China.

    Abstract: This book considers diverse philosophical topics unified by the identification of false moves commonly found in modern philosophy, mainstream Anglo-American philosophy, and social theory. The authors expose the sources of fundamental problems that recur in philosophy—basic problems with what the authors call factoring philosophy. Factoring philosophy fails to attend to the phenomenological task of determining when what is distinguishable is separable and when not. Consequently, factoring philosophy makes phenomenological mistakes, false moves, when it treats as separable what is only distinguishable. Analytic philosophy is prone to false moves when it fails to recognize that phenomenology is the necessary complement to analysis. There is nothing wrong with analysis—we might as well give up thinking as give up analysis—and nothing is wrong with the values prized by analytic philosophy. As Hegel observed, “philosophizing requires, above all, that each thought should be grasped in its full precision and that nothing should remain vague and indeterminate.” Ultimately, this book contends that false moves prevail in philosophical analysis and social theory when they neglect their phenomenological foundations.

    Abstract: This book develops Marcuse’s critique of advanced industrial society and deploys it as a lens to critically analyze contemporary neoliberalism and its structural failures. In the chapters, Marcuse scholars explore three related topics: First, Marcuse’s theory as it applies to the relationship between neoliberalism and authoritarianism, including both the historical relationship between the two and the modern re-emergence of authoritarianism and nationalism in neoliberal states today. Second, a re-examination of the relationship between neoliberal subjectivity and technological rationality that seeks to understand the stabilizing forces of neoliberal society and the way these forces register at the level of thought. Third and finally, Marcuse’s conception of socialism in conversation with contemporary neoliberal rationality, and ways in which alternatives to the status quo remain possible. Together, this volume contributes to recent discussions of neoliberalism and contribute to the development of Marcuse scholarship.

    Abstract: This book explores the state of play on the Korean peninsula, where old conflicts remain latent. Regarding security on the Korean Peninsula, however, this book challenges the belief that the internal affairs of states should be discounted and posits that to have a fuller perspective of comprehensive peacebuilding on the Korean Peninsula, all aspects of the security spectrum should be considered from the perspective of both challenges to building peace and opportunities for doing so. In particular, the internal governance functioning of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) regime will be considered, as well as the intersection between regime security, economic development and distributive justice, and South Korean perceptional, ideational, and bottom-up approaches to peace on the Korean Peninsula. Hence, this book will be of interest to scholars of the region, journalists and peace-makers.

    Abstract: “If you want to understand how we might move from political passivity to unlock decolonial and revolutionary action at a European scale, this is a book for you”. —Niccolò Milanese, European Alternatives “Combining innovative democratic theory with empirically rich narratives, Oleart has found an ingenious way of contrasting the depoliticized nature of the EU’s ‘citizen turn’ with fully politicized transnational social movements. A real tour de force and a must-read for all those interested in the question of how to democratize the EU.” —Vivien A. Schmidt, Boston University, USA “Through the original and powerful concept of the ‘decolonial multitude’, Oleart provides an empirically grounded critique of the ‘citizen turn’ in European politics.” —Jan Orbie, Ghent University, Belgium How does the dominant understanding(s) of the demo(i)cratic subject in the EU, and of democracy more broadly, shape the EU’s democratic innovations on ‘citizen participation’? What are the politically and normatively preferable alternatives, both in terms of the conceptualisation of the democratic subject in the EU and in the ensuing political practices? The book addresses these questions combining a political theory with a political sociology perspective, contrasting the Democracy Without Politics approach of the EU in the context of the Conference on the Future of Europe and its institutional follow-up with that of ongoing transnational activist processes. In doing so, it develops an agonistic alternative to ‘the people(s)’ as the political imaginary of democracy in the EU, which is based on the idea of the ‘decolonial multitude’. Thus, the book puts forward a diagnosis of current debates on EU democratic legitimacy as well as proposing an alternative. Alvaro Oleart is a researcher at the Department of Political Science and the Institute for European Studies of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. He is the author of Framing TTIP in the European Public Spheres: Towards an Empowering Dissensus for EU integration (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021), also published in the Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology series. .

    Abstract: This book chronologically analyzes fourteen key US Presidents, from Washington to Biden, to highlight how religion has informed or influenced their politics and policies. For years, leading scholars have largely neglected religion in presidential studies. Yet, religion has played a significant role in a number of critical presidencies in US history. This volume reveals the deep religious side to such presidents as Truman, Eisenhower, and Reagan, among others, and the impact that faith had on their administrations. Now in its fourth edition, this work includes analysis of Joe Biden as the second Catholic president in United States history and provides a timely update to a key text in the study of religion and the presidency. Mark J. Rozell is the Founding Dean of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, USA, where he holds the Ruth D. and John T. Hazel Faculty Chair in Public Policy. He is the author of numerous books and articles on the intersection of religion and politics and he serves as the editor of the Palgrave Series on Religion, Politics, and Public Policy. Gleaves Whitney has been the executive director of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, USA, since September 2020. Previously he was the Director of the Hauenstein Center for the Study of the Presidency at Grand Valley State University. He has authored or edited 17 books.

    Abstract: This comparative philosophy of law book aims at formulating a new analytical approach to the Islamic legal tradition based on ‘juridical categories’, a concept that facilitates comprehension and understanding of juridical phenomena. Building upon legal comparativism and legal pluralism, this project intends to avoid bias caused by universalizing Western categories when analyzing foreign juridical notions, which inevitably results in the miscomprehension of non-Western ideas and institutions. Unlike existing literature, this project will not focus on substantive comparisons between normative contents, but on the ‘juridical perspectives’ that helped to shape the Islamic and Western legal orders. The book focuses on the most relevant juridical questions regarding the Islamic and Western legal perspectives, such as the different visions regarding juridical spatiality, the role of human reason and the relationship between law, man and the divinity. While contributing to legal philosophy, this work intends also to develop and define a new interdisciplinary approach, aiming to provide a starting point for novel analyses in research fields such as legal comparativism, legal pluralism, and constitutional law. Finally, by formulating a new interdisciplinary approach, it will provide a foundational discussion of a continuously evolving subject that will never be exhaustively explored. As such, it aims at broadening scholarly reflections on the relationship between the West and Islam, eventually placing these concepts within a suitably comprehensive and contextualized framework.

    Abstract: This book discusses whether democracy and republicanism are identical, complementary, or contradicting ideas. The rediscovery of classic republicanism a few decades ago made it clear how profoundly modern notions of democracy had been shaped by the republican tradition. But defining these two concepts remains difficult, and the views diverge widely. The overarching aim of this book is to discuss the extent to which democracy and republicanism are identical, complementary or mutually contradicting ideals / ideas. Pursuing this open approach to the subject means calling into question a widely used formula according to which modern democracy is composed of liberal principles such as individualism, the rule of law and human rights, on the one hand, and of republican principles such as focusing on the common good and popular sovereignty, on the other. This book will appeal to students, researches, and scholars of political science interested in a better understanding of political theory and political history. The editors Dr. Skadi Siiri Krause, Research Associate at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, is known for her work on the political history of ideas in France. Dr. Dirk Jörke, Professor of Political Theory at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, focuses on contemporary interpretations of the concept of democracy. .

    Abstract: This open access book discusses the impact of protracted peace processes on identities in conflict. It is concerned with how lingering peace processes affect, in the long-term, patterns of othering in protracted conflicts, and how this relates with enduring violence. Taking Israel and Palestine as a case study, the book traces different representations of success and failure of the protracted peace process, as well as its associated policies, narratives, norms and practices, to analyze its impact on identity and its contribution to the maintenance and/or transformation of the cultural component of violence. On the one hand, drawing from an interdisciplinary approach comprising International Relations (IR), History and Social Psychology, this book proposes an analytical framework for assessing the specificities of the construction of identities in protracted conflicts. It identifies dehumanization and practices of reconciliation in ongoing conflicts – what is called peace-less reconciliation – as the main elements influencing processes of othering and violence in this kind of conflicts. On the other hand, the book offers an empirical historical analysis on how the protracted peace process has impacted identity building and representations made of the ‘other’ in the case of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since the end of the 19th century to the present day. Joana Ricarte is a Researcher at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies (CEIS20) at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Her academic background is profoundly interdisciplinary, including research experience in several fields of social sciences and humanities, with emphasis on identity and conflict studies. She holds a PhD in International Politics and Conflict Resolution and a MA in International Relations with specialisation in Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Coimbra. She graduated in History from the University of Brasília, Brazil.

    Abstract: “Public-Nonprofit Collaboration and Policy in Homeless Services offers invaluable insights into the nature and workings of homelessness networks across the United States. The authors build their chapters from extensive literature sources in several academic disciplines. The chapters on the challenges on collaboratively leading networks, cross-sector medical services, and measuring effectiveness provide particularly important and useful contributions to knowledge for scholars and practitioners.” —J. Steven Ott, PhD. Professor Emeritus, University of Utah, USA “This book provides a novel and timely examination of multi-sector collaboration in addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness. Both students and practicing professionals will benefit from the authors’ critical analysis of relevant theories and practices for designing, governing, and managing collaborative solutions. The book’s coverage of health services for homeless populations is an especially valuable resource for the social, medical, and public health fields.” —Glen P. Mays, PhD. Professor, University of Colorado Denver, USA This book offers a comprehensive understanding of public-nonprofit collaboration in a homeless policy field and management strategies to lead and assess cross-sector arrangements. The book demonstrates how the federal policy intention is realized through the local homeless service networks, known as Continuums of Care (CoCs) programs. It leverages unique, original, and national data and applies collaborative governance theory to develop a systematic understanding of public service networks and leadership, health care services for those experiencing homelessness, and measuring impact of collaborative activities.

    Abstract: This book offers a reassessment politics against the predominating economicist approach to historical materialism within contemporary Marxism. Boito draws on the structural interpretation of Marxism inspired by Althusser’s works of the mid-1960s and, especially, by Poulantzas’ Political Power and Social Classes. The volume aims to demonstrate the role of the political dimension (together with the economy) and, to a further extent, to contribute to renew contemporary Marxist political theory. The chapters cover topics such as: the nature of political power; the structure and functions of the state; the role of politics in historical change; political crises; and the political formation of the working class. The book highlights the role of political structures and practices in the reproduction of economic and social relations and also in the process of historical change. The aim of the book is to contribute to the renewal of Marxist thought, breaking with the economicist conception that dominated it throughout the last century, and finally meeting the demands of the socialist struggle in the 21st century. Armando Boito is Professor of Political Science at the State University of Campinas, Brazil. He is editor of the Brazilian journal Crítica Marxista. Among other books, he has published Reform and Political Crisis in Brazil: Class Conflicts in Workers' Party Governments and the Rise of Bolsonaro Neo-fascism (2021). .

    Abstract: This textbook introduces readers to basic scientific principles of climate change. Based on extensive empirical evidence, it explains weather events that indicate climate change’s evolution and presents important topics connected to climate change, such as political controversies, climate policy, as well as Native American perspectives. Finally, it presents attempted solutions, including policy recommendations and technological proposals for necessary changes in our world. Providing a well-written and easy-to-follow overview of knowledge of science-based geophysical facts, including thermodynamics, the book puts a strong emphasis on why expeditious action on global warming is urgent. The book also explains why smart greenhouse-gas reduction strategies will ignite economic growth, generate new domestic jobs, protect public health, and strengthen energy security. Not assuming a scientific background on the part of the reader, Global Warming and the Climate Crisis: Science, Spirit, and Solutions offers an ideal supplemental reading in many types of courses in Earth sciences, climate policy, climate change sciences, as well as politics of climate change, from high school through undergraduate. General readers also will benefit from its treatment of this very important and timely issue.

    Abstract: This volume provides a methodological toolbox for conducting policy research. Recognizing that policy research spans various academic disciplines, each of which takes a different view on causality, the volume introduces a methodologically pluralistic approach to policy studies. Each chapter clarifies the research question that each technique can answer, the research design and data treatment that each technique requires for its results to be sound, the validity domain of its results, and the actual deployment of the technique through a replicable example. Techniques covered include quasi-experimental designs, approaches to account for selection bias and observed imbalances, directed acyclic graphs and structural equation models, Qualitative Comparative Analysis, Bayesian case study and process tracing, and Agent-Based Modelling. By working through the volume, readers will understand how to learn from different techniques, apply them consciously, and triangulate them to make better sense of findings. This volume is intended for advanced academic courses, as well as scholars and practitioners in policy-related fields, such as political science, economics, sociology, and public administration. This is an open access book.

    Abstract: The book considers the relationship between governance and participation, and the ways participation has been understood, framed and applied in the context of synthetic biology (SB) governance approaches. Based on fundamental questions about the scope, purpose, and responsibilities assigned to public participation activities, the authors conducted an literature review of policy reports and articles on SB governance. Against this basis the authors identify key characteristics of synthetic biology, such as the complex interplay of research, engineering and IT expertise in the field, as well as the challenges these characteristics pose in designing governance frameworks. Drawing on insights from the literature on governance and public participation in political science and public policy, the authors contest calls for “earlier” and “more” participation on the basis that such calls fail to consider the necessary structural adjustments and resources needed for such endeavors.

    Abstract: Chapter 1: Algorithmic Government -- Chapter 2: Edge Computing -- Chapter 3: EdgeAI -- Chapter 4: EdgeAI Cases for Algorithmic Government -- Chapter 5: Design Challenges & Future Scope.
    Abstract: The book provides various EdgeAI concepts related to its architecture, key performance indicators, and enabling technologies after introducing algorithmic government, large-scale decision-making, and computing issues in the cloud and fog. With advancements in technology, artificial intelligence has permeated our personal lives and the fields of economy, socio-culture, and politics. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into decision-making for public services is changing how governments operate worldwide. This book discusses how algorithms help the government in various ways, including virtual assistants for busy civil servants, automated public services, and algorithmic decision-making processes. In such cases, the implementation of algorithms will occur on a massive scale and possibly affect the lives of entire communities. The cloud-centric architecture of artificial intelligence brings out challenges of latency, overhead communication, and significant privacy risks. Due to the sheer volume of data generated by IoT devices, the data analysis must be performed at the forefront of the network. This introduces the need for edge computing in algorithmic government. EdgeAI, the confluence of edge computing and AI, is the primary focus of this book. It also discusses how one can incorporate these concepts in algorithmic government through conceptual framework and decision points. Finally, the research work emphasizes some design challenges in edge computing from applications viewpoint. This book will be helpful for data engineers, data scientists, cloud engineers, data management experts, public policymakers, administrators, research scholars and academicians.

    Abstract: “Drawing on sophisticated Marxist categories of analysis, Australia’s premier scholar of urban studies shows how complex flows of capital impact intricate processes of class formation and fragmentation. Berry’s brilliant insights into contemporary urban power dynamics demonstrate the relevance of classical sociological perspectives for our globalizing world. Highly recommended!” — Manfred B. Steger, Professor of Sociology at The University of Hawai’i-Manoa, author of Globalization: A Very Short Introduction 6th Ed. (2020) “The use value of theory shines brilliantly in Mike Berry’s realist reading of Marx’s materialist dialectics. Amid world-wide wails and finger-pointing over the price of housing, this eminently readable tome by an exceptionally well-regarded housing analyst accurately casts the home in structural terms as a vehicle of the advance of capital.” — Anitra Nelson, Honorary Principal Fellow, the Informal Urbanism Research Hub (InfUr-), University of Melbourne, Australia and author of Beyond Money (2022) This book provides the first coherent Marxist analysis of the central importance of housing in the social reproduction of capitalism as a whole. Rather than consigning housing to the sidelines, Berry argues that the circulation of capital and revenues though housing and the built environment helps explain how the capital-labour relation constrains housing outcomes while also being reproduced on an extended scale. He shows how housing is provided by the intervention of building, property and interest-bearing capital fractions; how the land question can be explained by a theory of urban land rent, drawing on Marx's categories of differential and monopoly rent; how housing is vital to the extended reproduction of labour power, while also creating a semi-separate sphere of 'home' in which gender and demographic factors overlay and accentuate social class position. The modes, impact and drivers of state intervention in housing provision are seen to modify the patterns and pace of capital circulation through housing and the urban built environment with implications for shifts in class fragmentation and power relations. Mike Berry is Emeritus Professor of Urban Studies and Public Policy in the Centre for Urban Research at RMIT University, Australia.

    Abstract: This book takes the transnational history of southern Africa’s liberation struggles in an innovative direction. It provides one of the first targeted studies of the manner in which the wider process of African decolonisation shaped the political struggle for control of Southern Rhodesia (colonial Zimbabwe). It offers an in-depth survey of the repercussions of pan-African developments on national-level political thought amidst one of the most seminal moments of the continent’s history. The book draws on over a year of fieldwork in southern Africa as well as archival collections in the USA and UK to explore the seismic re-alignments that occurred in the white settler dominated territory in southern Africa as self-determination became a widely accepted international principle virtually overnight. In particular, it focuses on the impact of decolonisation struggles and/or independence in Ghana, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Malawi on Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle. In so doing, it also offers new context on the roots of contemporary repression in Zimbabwe.

    Abstract: “Professor Moseley’s deep knowledge of Marx’s texts is on full display in this work. Critics and defenders should agree: this book is an immensely important contribution to the debate that deserves a wide audience.” —Tony Smith, Professor Emeritus in Philosophy, Iowa State University, USA “Fred Moseley´s book is a timely and indispensable contribution to Marx studies. Moseley makes a strong case for a production-centered understanding of value as a historically-specific social form, with emphasis on the quantitative issue of the magnitude of value.” —Guido Starosta, Professor of History of Economic Thought, National University of Quilmes, Argentina “Fred Moseley’s book shows that, for Marx, exchange follows and is determined by production rather than vice versa as Heinrich’s value-form interpretation maintains. This logic is a necessary prerequisite for Marx’s theory of exploitation and the concomitant task of overthrowing capitalism.” —Stavros Mavroudeas, Professor of Political Economy, Panteion University, Greece Chapter 1 is the most important chapter in Capital, as well as the most difficult and the most controversial. An influential interpretation of Chapter 1 in recent decades has been the so-called “value-form interpretation” of Marx’s theory in general and Chapter 1 in particular. The most important proponent of the value-form interpretation today, both in Germany and in the English-speaking world, is Michael Heinrich, and Heinrich’s work has emphasized the first chapter. Heinrich’s latest book in English is a detailed commentary of the first seven chapters of Volume 1 of Capital. The publication of an English translation of Heinrich’s book is an important event in Marxian scholarship and it is important to critically engage with this important book in order to advance our understanding of this critical foundational chapter. This book emphasizes the quantitative issue of whether the magnitude of value and socially necessary labour-time are determined in production or also depend on exchange and demand, which has been the main issue in the controversy over the value-form interpretation. Fred Moseley is Emeritus Professor of Economics at Mount Holyoke College, USA, and author of Money and Totality (2017).

Hegel, Engels and the ”People without History” -- 5. Revolutionary Morality and Russian Experiences: Marx, Bakunin, Dostoevsky- 6. Marx, Nikolai Ziber and Primitive Economy -- 7. Marx and Finland – Finland and Marx.
    Abstract: This book discusses Marx’s relations with Russia, which have always been ambivalent. In his youth, and indeed a good way into the 1860s, Marx might even be called a “Russophob.” Around 1870, however, his views on Russia undergo a change; he becomes acquainted with a new kind of Russian radical and revolutionary movement and begins to study Russian. It becomes clear that Marx begins to feel that Russia is some kind of a “touchstone” for his theories. Offering a new and original interpretation of Marx’s theoretical development, Marx’s Russian Moment analyzes the following themes: Marx’s concept of ideology (as developed in the German Ideology) and its fortunes in Russia; Marx’s encounter with Bakunin and Russian nihilism; Marx’s and Engels’s studies of primitive societies; Engels’s views of the developmental perspectives of small Slavic nations; and Marx’s views on Finland, the Russian Grand Duchy. Considering these topics as “case studies,” Oittinen argues that Marx’s encounter with Russia substantially influenced Marx’s (and Engels’s) views not just on current political and economic matters but also on a philosophical and methodological level. Vesa Oittinen is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Russian Studies at the University of Helsinki, Finland. .

    Abstract: Kapitel 1: Gesamtkontext der Pandemie und Entwicklung -- Kapitel 2: Gemeinsame Grundsätze der Pandemiebekämpfung -- Kapitel 3: Betroffene Dimensionen -- Kapitel 4: Politiken: Solidarität versus Eigeninteresse -- Kapitel 5: Schlussfolgerung.
    Abstract: Dieses Buch betrachtet die COVID-19-Pandemie und ihre wahrscheinlichen Folgen durch ein vierdimensionales Prisma - Bestrebungen, Emotionen, Gedanken und Empfindungen, um menschliches Verhalten zu verstehen. Diese Perspektive eröffnet Möglichkeiten, die aktuelle Krise in eine Chance für positive Veränderungen zu verwandeln; denn die systematische Beeinflussung der verschiedenen Komponenten unseres Seins, individuell und kollektiv, beginnt mit dem Verständnis ihrer Natur und ihrer Interaktion. Über die Beeinflussung hinaus kann dieses Zusammenspiel zwischen den Dimensionen optimiert werden; dies ist der Zweck des im Buch vorgestellten K-Kernes (Komplettierung, Kompassion, Kreativität, Kooperation) [ENG - C-Core (Completion, Compassion, Creativity, Cooperation)] Darüber hinaus werden die vier Determinanten betrachtet, die Institutionen formen: Prioritäten, Personen), Positionen, Programme - das P-Puzzle. Dieses Buch verbindet Theorie und konkrete Vorschläge sowohl für politische Entscheidungsträger, die für die Gestaltung der kollektiven Landschaft verantwortlich sind, als auch für Einzelpersonen, die sich an ein neues "Normal" anpassen und es gestalten müssen. COVID-19 erinnert daran, dass die Menschen auf der ganzen Welt im Grunde genommen gleich sind. Ob die Pandemie langfristig das Beste oder das Schlimmste in den Menschen zum Vorschein bringen wird, hängt von den individuellen und kollektiven Entscheidungen ab, unser bestes individuelles und kollektives Selbst zu fördern. COVID-19 kann entweder die Lebensqualität durch ein neues Maß an Solidarität erhöhen oder die Gesellschaft auf das bloße Überleben reduzieren. Cornelia C. Walther, PhD verbindet Praxis und Forschung. Nach zwei Jahrzehnten mit den Vereinten Nationen in humanitären Krisen in Westafrika, Asien, und Lateinamerika ist sie derzeit als Senior Fellow an der University of Pennsylvania. In den letzten Jahren hat sie bei Springer fünf Bücher zum POZE-Paradigma veröffentlicht, die sich auf Organisationsoptimierung, systemische Krisenbewältigung, aspirierende Algorithmen und inspirierende Führung beziehen. Sie arbeitet als Forscherin, Dozentin und Coach mit den Vereinten Nationen und verschiedenen Universitäten in Europa und Latein Amerika zusammen. Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt.

    Abstract: “This highly innovative and wide-ranging collection 'reloads' Rousseau as a resource for current social and political theory, covering both well-known topics and less familiar ones.” —William Outhwaite, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Newcastle, UK “This scintillating volume on Rousseau—with its internationally divergent and original chapters—confronts the realities of the neo-liberal counterrevolution and the ways in which its understanding of ‘freedom’ constitute a danger for a good life of all and the survival of the planet.” —Heinz Sünker, Rudolf Carnap Senior Professor, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Germany “We are living through a crisis of democracy, during which it is necessary not to go back to Rousseau but to go forward to Rousseau and to explore the ways in which his thought can illuminate our contemporary dilemmas. The interdisciplinary focus and breadth of this stimulating collection will be of great help in this endeavour.” —Andy Kilmister, Senior Lecturer of Economics, Oxford Brookes University, UK This book demonstrates that Rousseau offers a distinctive critical voice which is worthy of listening to. Rousseau is shown to target not merely social ‘injustices’, but the very dynamics central to the ‘form of life’ itself. As such we are able to contemplate, and engage in, a more foundational form of social critique. We contend that by returning to Rousseau, both as a theorist in his own right, and as an interlocutor with the contemporary literature within radical political and social philosophy, we can see both the circumscribed nature of contemporary discussion, and the true importance of Rousseau’s thought. In summary, Rousseau remains a figure of vital importance across disciplines and it is high time for an edited volume which connects insights centring his thought and impact today. Denis Bosseau is a doctoral candidate at the University of Sussex, Brighton, UK. Owen Brown is an independent scholar based in Oxford, UK. Neal Harris is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Oxford Brookes University, UK. Ployjai Pintobtang is a Lecturer in the department of Government, University of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

    Abstract: "Mazzone has focused our attention on an important and underappreciated topic; the way hypocrisy suppresses the complaints of the oppressed and poses a particular threat not just to our politics but to democracies as a whole. The topic could hardly be more urgent." -- Ekow N. Yankah, Thomas M. Cooley Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, USA Unconfessed by definition, hypocrisy is one of the most used and abused polemical categories, even today, to denounce the "masked cynicism" of certain social actors, especially when they hold public office. But has hypocrisy always been just that? Should we really always be wary of it and challenge its every manifestation? What forms of hypocrisy can we distinguish? What kind of relationship exists between hypocrisy and the lack of self-critical attitude of those who are used to challenge the conduct of others? And above all: what relationship exists between this common vice, democratic politics and the institutional reproduction of different forms of oppression and domination? These are just some of the questions that inspire this philosophical journey back into the history of one of the most chameleonic concepts of Western culture. In Mazzone’s conception, democratic hypocrisy includes argumentative strategies used by institutional actors to refuse any kind of responsibility when their decisions, actions or roles are called into question by the protests of citizens in a democratic context. He reveals the relationship that exists between such “apologetic narratives” and the institutional reproduction of different forms of oppression and domination. Ultimately, the book urges civic vigilance against underhand wannabe authoritarians, who – as a group – are evolving to find new ways to trick people into opposing democracy. Leonard Mazzone is Research Associate in Social and Political Philosophy at the Department of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Florence, Italy.

    Abstract: This book evaluates the legislative effectiveness of Nigeria’s National Assembly under the Fourth Republic. The assessment covers five Assemblies (4th–8th) and focuses specifically on lawmaking, cost of running the National Assembly, and the budget making process. It empirically assesses the effectiveness of the Nigerian national legislature beyond previous emotional and sentimental evaluations of the institution. It has developed a model ‘Institutional Legislative Effectiveness Score’ used in assessing the institutional performance of the National Assembly from two perspectives: first, by comparing the performances of the two chambers in the same Assembly; and second, by comparing the performances of the institution across Assemblies. Aside lawmaking, the book also covers the major topical issues that characterized public evaluation of the institution. These include: size of the institution, budgeting process, cost of funding the institution, and the debate on the appropriate way in reforming the National Assembly. Adebola Rafiu BAKARE is a lecturer and currently Head of the Department of Political Science, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria.

    Abstract: “This is an extremely valuable and rare contribution to debates about effective governance structures. It provides a well-balanced though critical assessment of arguments about the qualities of different governance arrangements that properly engages all sides and perspectives.” – Mark Pennington, Professor of Political Economy and Public Policy, King's College London, UK “Dan Greenwood’s Effective Governance and the Political Economy of Coordination brings together a variety of perspectives in political science and political economy in order to develop a novel approach to thinking about problems of governance. His emphasis on openness, discovery, and learning is an important and welcome reminder of how governance systems can be improved when we don’t shy away from the challenges associated with using policy to solve complex problems.” – Jayme Lemke, Senior Research Fellow, Mercatus Centre, George Mason University, USA This book provides a conceptual and methodological approach for researchers evaluating governance and policy in the face of complexity, and demonstrates the application of this approach across different governance and policy contexts. It fills a significant gap in the literature on governance, and proposes a theoretical focus on coordination to enable the assessment of multi-tier, cross-sector governance institutions and policy. It also introduces a range of applications for the proposed approach, including two case studies of governance and policy for the built environment and health services. The book introduces, analyses and draws from a range of perspectives in political economy, political science, policy analysis and evaluation. It also engages with longstanding debates in political economy about states and markets, which are largely overlooked by political science analyses of coordination challenges in governance. The book will appeal to scholars and students of governance, public policy and political science. Dan Greenwood is Reader in Politics at the Centre for the Study of Democracy, University of Westminster, UK. His research focuses on policy analysis, governance evaluation and political economy.

    Abstract: “Grotz and Schroeder’s book is an encompassing analysis of the German political system. In an unprecedented effort, it provides extensive information grounded in democratic theory, and provides a detailed account of multi-level governance in the largest EU member state. I whole-heartedly recommend it to students and scholars alike.” —Arend Lijphart, University of California, San Diego, USA “A comprehensive, theoretical informed guide to German politics. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the origins, performance, and challenges facing one of the world’s most important democracies.” —Daniel Ziblatt, Harvard University, USA, and WZB Berlin, Germany and co-author How Democracies Die “Far from being merely a factual guidebook to the German political system – though it also does that job as thoroughly as anyone could want – this is a thoughtful and theoretically driven account of how contemporary German democracy works, and the challenges it faces. Many readers will already have some knowledge of individual parts of this complex system, but to understand it fully one needs to know how all those parts interact – or occasionally fail to do so. To achieve this, one needs look no further than Grotz and Schroeder.” —Colin Crouch, University of Warwick, UK, and External Scientific Member, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne, Germany This book offers a systematic, theory-based, and empirically grounded introduction to the political system of Germany. Compared to other textbooks on government and politics in Germany, it has two particular benefits. First, it analyzes the individual dimensions of the German political system from a uniform theoretical perspective based on the well-known distinction between majoritarian and consensus democracy. Second, it particularly explains how political decision-making in the multi-level system takes place, including the local, state, federal as well as EU levels. This way, the book provides a comprehensive, detailed, and clear picture of how German democracy is organized and how it works. Florian Grotz is Professor of Comparative Government at the Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg, Germany. Wolfgang Schroeder is Professor of the Political System of Germany at the University of Kassel and Fellow at the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB), Germany.

    Abstract: This book proposes a new interpretation of Claude Lefort’s thought focusing on his phenomenological method. Although all scholars recognize the influence of Merleau-Ponty, so far no one has demonstrated the fundamental coherence between Merleau-Ponty’s theory and the main concepts proposed by Lefort; in particular between the concept of institution and the definitions of social and democracy. If Merleau-Ponty uses the idea of institution to think beyond the division between subject and object, to think together continuity and difference, permanence and change, this same concept allows Lefort to understand society as both conflict and unity. From this starting point, this study will attempt to clarify Lefort’s concept of the political and his interpretations of modernity, humanism, and the work of Niccolò Machiavelli. These very concepts will show the difference from structuralism, Michel Foucault’s contemporary theory and theories of immanence. At the same time this study highlights an internal tension in Lefort’s own thinking: between autonomy and experience, institution and insurgence. Mattia Di Pierro is a Post-Doc researcher at the Philosophy Department of the University of Milan, Italy. His research mainly concerns contemporary political thought, theories of democracy and of modernity. He is the author of L’esperienza del mondo: Claude Lefort e la fenomenologia del politico (ETS 2020) and numerous articles on history of political thought and political philosophy.

    Abstract: This book extends the approach that Murray and Schuler develop in their companion volume, False Moves in Philosophy and Social Theory: Losing Public Purpose. The chapters form a connected inquiry into consequences of capital, a far-reaching social form, through a critique of political economy and the mindset it shares with much modern philosophy and social theory. The authors call this bifurcating mentality factoring philosophy. Factoring philosophy mistakes the distinguishable for the separable. It splits the subjective and objective, form and content, and it takes the object of social theory to be an impossible economy-in-general, stripped of constitutive social forms. The critique of factoring philosophy structures the collection, which makes a wide-ranging contribution to the research field of the critique of political economy as critical social theory. Ultimately, this book solidifies Murray and Schuler’s impact on the study of political economy, political philosophy, modern philosophy, Hegel, Marx, and critical theory. Patrick Murray is John C. Kenefick Faculty Chair in the Humanities and professor of philosophy at Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska. He is author of Marx’s Theory of Scientific Knowledge and The Mismeasure of Wealth and editor of Reflections on Commercial Life. His research interests center on capitalism and modern philosophy. Jeanne Schuler is professor of philosophy at Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska. She has published in the history of philosophy and critical theory, including articles on Hume, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Arendt, Iris Murdoch, and Habermas. She is working on a series of articles on Hegel and modern philosophy. .

    Abstract: This book examines the modes by which the grand theories of International Relations can be restructured at the level of meta-theory. It emphasizes the inability of grand theories to make sense of international relations in postcolonial societies and argues to engage in such restructuring in the domain of ontology. This is done by making a historical sociological defence toward adopting mid-level theories in IR. It is a critique of the meta-theoretical foundations of Kenneth Waltz's grand theory of neorealism, by pivoting itself upon the framework of postcolonial ontology. Dwelling upon Mohammed Ayoob’s mid-level theory of subaltern realism, it argues for undertaking the task of restructuring International Relations at the level of meta-theory, largely in the sphere of ontology. It explains how the thrust of grand theories such as neorealism, on ontological singularity can be circumvented. Owing to this, International Relations can experience a meta-theoretical transformation that may manifest in the broader engagement of the discipline itself, with the very conception of ontological multiplicity. Sanjeev Kumar H.M. is currently Professor of International Relations and Global Politics at the Department of Political Science, University of Delhi, India. .

    Abstract: This volume is an inquiry into the history of political philosophy by way of the general theme of education. Each contributor addresses the relationship between a particular political philosopher’s broad teaching on the best political order and that political philosopher’s teaching about education. The unifying contention of the work is that each political philosopher considered in the volume promotes a certain kind of political regime and therefore a particular mode of education essential to that regime. Each chapter, written by a separate contributor, is distinguished from the others primarily by the political philosopher being considered. The book has a chapter dedicated to each of the following political philosophers: Plato, Xenophon, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Bacon, Locke, Rousseau, Tocqueville, and Nietzsche. The volume provides a survey of educational models by some of the greatest thinkers of the West, while continually demonstrating that the two themes of politics and education are inseparable. Ian Dagg is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Dallas and Baylor University, USA. He received a doctoral degree from the University of Dallas in Philosophic Studies in Politics. He has published “Natural Religion in Montesquieu’s Persian Letters and The Spirit of the Laws” as well as a Review Essay of On the Happiness of the Philosophic Life by Heinrich Meier translated by Robert Berman in Interpretation: A Journal of Political Philosophy. His dissertation is Bad Beginnings, Failed Attempts to Control Convention, and Political Concessions: An Analysis of Plato’s Laws.

    Abstract: This volume, which is rooted in biogeophysical studies, addresses conceptions of political action in the Anthropocene and the tension between a desire to accomplish the Promethean project of modernity and a post-Promethean approach. This work explores the idea of an anthropological mutation of political consolidation from a “post-Promethean togetherness”, to creating the capacity to act together. The political thinking of the human condition developed by Hannah Arendt is important here as a resource for thinking about humanity in terms of human adventure. This has three dimensions: hubris, the world and coexistence referring respectively to the logic of profit of the homo oeconomicus, the logic of responsibility of the homo collectivus and the logic of the hospitality of the homo religatus. The intellectual and political attitude outlined in this book is an extension of critical theory: the work also puts forward a critique of what poses a problem in our relationship to the world and suggests how to overcome it, the ultimate goal being social transformation. The author propose an uprising and an anthropological consolidation of politics based on the revitalization that is brought about by the sharing of a conviviality both between humans and with what is non-human. The identification of conviviality as an educational paradigm to survive the Anthropocene gives us the much needed reason for hope despite this heritage of the Anthropocene. In addition to Arendtian thinking, this critical theory for the Anthropocene draws on the political thinking of several contemporary authors including Maurice Bellet, Hartmut Rosa, Andreas Weber, Dominique Bourg, and Christian Arnsperger. This volume is of interest to researchers in the Anthropocene.

    Abstract: This book investigates the determinants of policy design choices in an area of public policy embracing multiple sectors of public responsibilities: Research and Innovation (R&I). Drawing on case studies from France and Italy, it assesses how governments design research and innovation policy strategies. It also examines how policymakers and stakeholders translate their interests into different design strategies, and the impact of varying political orientations and institutional setups on shaping choices for alternative policy instruments. Lastly, the book considers how the interactions between policy makers and policy takers influence policy design choices. It will appeal to scholars and students of comparative public policy, public administration, emerging technologies, and governance. Claudia Acciai is a researcher at the Department of Sociology, Copenhagen University, Denmark. Her research interests include comparative public policy analysis, public administration, innovation studies, and science of science.

    Abstract: This book critically examines the relationship between the United Nations Organization and the small states of the Pacific islands. It provides an in-depth coverage of the United Nations, coupled with how Pacific Small Island Developing States interact. It covers three themes, the first one being the position of the UN on the Pacific Islands, which examines the role of the many UN organs, agencies and programs in strengthening individual countries and the region as a whole. It examines the manner in which the UN’s activities have benefited Pacific nations, territories and peoples. The second theme deals with the Pacific states in the UN, and examines the participation of Pacific nations and territories in the UN’s various organs, agencies, and programmes. It analyses the contribution they have made to the effectiveness of the organization, as distinct from the benefits they have sought to gain from it. The third and last theme deals with small states in global public policy, taking a broader look at how small states are faring within the UN system in the age of global discourse on shared public goods/public policy concerns.

    Abstract: "An innovative book that sheds new light on the government of disasters through a fine and empirically sound case study that reminds us of the central role of states in defining the contours of security and in extending the domain of crisis. A brilliant book that is particularly recommended reading in times of crisis." —Sandrine Revet, Senior Researcher, Sciences Po-CERI, France “… a provocative and illuminating study of how efforts to construct a policy domain of disaster management laid the groundwork for the modern South African state. The book shines in its meticulous empirical analysis, showcasing how struggles to define legitimate sources of danger and deserving objects of protection, produced the state’s scientific and bureaucratic institutions and transformed the nation’s history and politics.” —Saptarishi Bandopadhyay, Professor, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, Canada This book examines the history of disaster management in South Africa, showing how experts, professionals and policymakers have crafted and implemented disaster policies from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. It assesses the ways in which states become concerned with disasters, the extent to which disaster management contributes toward state formation, and who and what disaster management protects. It also considers the ways in which the politics of protection continuously shift as political regimes change. In telling the story of how policies surrounding disaster protection have evolved in South Africa, the book demonstrates how the security apparatus that shaped disaster management was re-oriented in the twenty-first century towards development, alongside bureaucratic reforms that aimed to democratize the state. By examining the wider context of the globalization of disaster management, it also highlights the often unrecognised role of experts from Africa, Latin America and Asia in shaping global disaster policies. The book will appeal to scholars and students of disaster governance, public policy, state formation, and African politics. Lydie Cabane is Assistant Professor in Governance of Crises at Leiden University, The Netherlands. Her research interests include public policy, expertise, and the governance of crises. .

    Abstract: “This book provides a framework for analyzing infrastructure policymaking that will guide development scholars for years to come.” —Michael Craw, Faculty Member and Director of the Master of Public Administration program, The Evergreen State College, USA “Bowman’s comparative evaluation of ICTs in East Africa is a must read for anyone interested in the intersection of culture, technology, law, and politics.” —L. Jean Camp, Professor of Informatics and Director of Center for Security and Privacy in Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indiana University Bloomington, USA “Dr. Bowman’s careful fieldwork and analysis unpacks the political economy of ICT implementation in East Africa. She expertly integrates historical, sociological, political, and economic realities that inform ICT policy development and implementation.” —Dorina Bekoe is a research staff member with the Africa program at the Institute for Defense Analyses USA, and author of Voting in Fear: Electoral Violence in Sub-Saharan Africa (2012) This book uses comparative case study methodology and extensive field work to examine and compare outcomes of four East African nations (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda) that implemented formal Information and Communications Technology policies in the 1990s. Based on extensive fieldwork, the book assesses the emergence of a new policy and technological arena from the turn of the millennium to the present. In addition to tracing the implementation and reception of these policies, Bowman considers to what extent the politics of infrastructure in four connected but distinct African nations have resulted in global participation and equitable distribution and access of infrastructure to all citizens, as well as the impact a recent history of war or peace have on the technological outcomes in these communities. The book provides us with invaluable new data on how policy and politics function in emerging democracies, and illuminates long-overlooked opportunities and conditions necessary for the distribution of new and potentially beneficial technologies in other developing countries. Warigia M. Bowman is Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Sustainable Energy and Natural Resources Law Program at the University of Tulsa, USA.

    Abstract: “Eric Li makes the case for the Chinese system with flair and intellectual agility. Some in the West will be angered by his views. They should read him nonetheless.” — Gideon Rachman, Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator for the Financial Times “The biggest story of our time is the return of China, the world’s oldest continuous civilization. Yet, despite its legendary universities, think tanks, and professional pundits, the West has completely misunderstood this story. Eric Li has done both the West and the Rest a huge favour by taking a deep dive into the sources of this great misunderstanding. This book is a must-read for all who are looking for an antidote to the massively distorted depictions of China in the Western media.” — Kishore Mahbubani, a Distinguished Fellow at NUS, author of Has China Won? The return of China as a great power is perhaps the most consequential development for the world in the 21st century. Yet, what the Western world sees in this development is largely through the prism of misinterpreted ideological dichotomy and misguided geopolitical rivalry. This book offers a deep look at the Chinese Communist Party and the nation it leads at conceptual, historic, and operational levels. If Thomas Kuhn’s concept of paradigm shift can be used in the social sciences, then China would represent the most significant anomaly to the dominant liberal exemplar. For students of China and of politics in general, and for the Western political and commercial elites, if they were to read one book about China to grasp the nature and weight of the Chinese phenomenon, Party Life would be it. Eric Li is a venture capitalist and political scientist in Shanghai. He is chairman and managing partner of Chengwei Capital and chairman of Guancha.cn. He is a regular contributor of leading international publications on China and comparative political systems.

    Abstract: “This collection from a younger generation of scholars brings forward not only the theoretical and analytical richness of the Marxist tradition but also its indispensability for any project of radical social transformation.” — Panagiotis Sotiris, Hellenic Open University, Greece and author of A Philosophy for Communism: Rethinking Althusser (2020) “From the Covid pandemic to global warming to vulnerable supply chains, it has become commonplace to observe the ‘return of the state.’ This volume adds much-needed rigor to such discussions. There is no better moment to revisit and advance Marxist state theory.” —Thea Riofrancos, Associate Professor of Political Science, Providence College, USA “This volume contains a masterfully orchestrated set of arguments and insights for a materialist theory of the state and will undoubtedly serve as a reference point for future debate.” — Marco Goldoni, Senior Lecturer in Legal Theory, Glasgow University, UK This book builds on the recent revival of interest in Marx and Marxism, calling for a renewal and refinement of Marxist state theory. It aims to encourage new debates and critiques that build on—but also update and extend—the rich tradition of Marxist analyses of the capitalist state, including the well-known debates of the 1970s. The chapters present a dynamic and diverse constellation of arguments and perspectives on a range of topics, from general re-appraisals of the capitalist state to investigations of contemporary challenges—including digitalisation, the ecological crisis, the coronavirus pandemic, social reproduction, and critical political economy. What they share is a commitment to an understanding of the specifically capitalist character of the modern state and its significance for any serious discussion of the causes of our current age of global catastrophe and the overcoming of capitalist social relations. Rob Hunter holds a PhD in Politics from Princeton University, USA. He is a member of the Legal Form editorial collective. Rafael Khachaturian is a Lecturer in Critical Writing at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. Eva Nanopoulos is a Senior Lecturer in Law at Queen Mary, University of London UK.

    Abstract: “This is an essential volume for scholars and practitioners interested in open government. It includes an unprecedented range of case studies from across Asia and the Middle East. This book reminds us why open government is so important at a time when transparency and democracy are under pressure around the world.” —Alasdair Roberts, Professor of Public Policy, University of Massachusetts, USA “Open Government and the associated requirement of freedom of information are inextricably linked to good governance. This collection of country case studies spanning those which embrace open government to those with much to learn, offers a fascinating tour de force of Asian countries from diverse historical, political, and cultural backgrounds.” —Colin Knox, Professor of Public Policy, Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan; Emeritus Professor, Ulster University, UK The book examines the state of Open Government in Asia. Drawing on thirteen country case studies and one regional study, it analyses the application of Freedom of Information methods and assesses their implications for democratic governance, particularly transparency, accountability, participation, collaboration, inclusive policymaking and technology. The book also considers the usefulness of open participatory platforms that enable citizens’ ‘right to information’, and help them monitor and scrutinize governmental activities to ensure accountability, integrity and the quality of democracy. Contributors to the volume evaluate Open Government and Freedom of Information arrangements and relevant issues in a particular country and adjudge their performance. The book will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, digital governance and technology. Habib Zafarullah is Adjunct Faculty at the University of New England, Australia, where he served as Chair of Public Policy. He was previously Professor of Public Administration at Dhaka University, Bangladesh. Noore Alam Siddiquee is Professor of Public Policy at Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan. His research interests include ethics and integrity, performance management, and digital governance. .

    Abstract: Chapter 1 introduction -- Part I conceptual and methodological framework -- Chapter 2 the world of wicked problems -- Chapter 3 theorizing the travels of a wicked problem -- Chapter 4 designing the study of a wicked problem -- Part II establishing contexts across time, cultural boundaries, and levels -- Chapter 5 from colonization to today’s empires -- Chapter 6 from first rights for individuals to contested human rights -- Chapter 7 from deviant sexuality to LBTI -- Chapter 8 the EU as complex modern organization -- Chapter 9 human rights for LBTI in EU foreign policy -- Part III dealing with a wicked problem at the micro level -- Chapter 10 dealing with a wicked problem in Brussels -- Chapter 11 dealing with a wicked problem in Kampala -- Chapter 12 conclusions.
    Abstract: Examining the EU's promotion of human rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans+ and intersex (LGBTI) persons in Uganda during the period of 2009 to 2017, this book investigates how a public administration defines and deals with a wicked problem. The empirical puzzle of how the topic of human rights for LGBTI persons, despite its highly contested nature, travelled between Brussels and Kampala, became codified in form of LGBTI Guidelines (2013) and institutionalized within EU foreign policy is addressed as one of translation and sensemaking. The investigation focuses on the process of problem definition in everyday practice by EU staff and EU member states’ staff in Brussels and Kampala. This book therefore provides key insights into how public administrations deal with wicked problems, how contested ideas can become institutionalized and how an idea is translated and made sense of across time, levels and cultural boundaries. The findings are of interest to scholars of wicked problems, sociological new institutionalism and public administration as well as international relations and EU studies, human rights, gender and sexuality studies. Lydia Malmedie has an interdisciplinary background in political science, human rights, media and comparative literature and organizational sociology. Lydia has published on topics such as sexual orientation and gender, nondiscrimination, EU policies, and advocacy in social work. She completed her doctorate as a member of the Research Training Group on Wicked Problems - Contested Administrations: Knowledge, Coordination, Strategy (WIPCAD) at the Department of Economics and Social Sciences of the University of Potsdam, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Prior to academia Lydia worked at Stonewall UK, a human rights organization for LGBT equality. Today, Lydia champions LGBTI issues and rights within the public administration in Berlin, Germany, and is a lecturer in human rights and social work. .

    Abstract: Chapter 1: Reintroducing Ronald Dworkin’s Life and Philosophy -- Chapter 2: Dworkin on Constitutional Democracy -- Chapter 3: Assessing the Legacy of Racism and Identity Politics -- Chapter 4: Birth, Love, Life and Their Value- Chapter 5: Dworkin on Distributional Equality -- Chapter 6: Reading Dworkin Against Post-Liberalism.
    Abstract: This book covers how liberal institutions – constitutional democracy, economic markets, liberal courts, free trade, international human rights – around the world are under assault by the political right and we are witnessing the emergence of post-liberal institutions. These post-liberal institutions are founded on the core conviction that the actions of liberal institutions including the courts and justice system are patently unjust. Liberalism is said to be too nihilistic, too individualistic, too liberal on lifestyles, not committed enough to basic freedoms like free speech, too egalitarian, too cosmopolitan, too elitist to meet society’s needs and advance the common good. This volume makes the case against post-liberal courts and justice by reconnecting to the liberal principles of moral equality and dignified freedom for all. It provides an accessible reintroduction to the work of Ronald Dworkin. Dworkin was one of the most important liberal legal and political thinkers of the past century. The intention of the authors is to show how there is great untapped potential in the work of Ronald Dworkin’s work to guide the thinking of progressive liberals through the great issues of the day and respond to the contemporary criticisms of the political right. The core themes are concretely illustrated by focusing on some of the most controversial issues before the Supreme Court, ranging from election funding to abortion, race-sensitive affirmative action, and barriers to equality of opportunity. Lesley A. Jacobs is Professor & Vice-President of Research & Innovation at Ontario Tech University and Professor at York University, Canada. Matthew McManus is Lecturer in Political Science, University of Michigan, USA.

    Abstract: “This book makes at least two significant contributions to the literature. It enhances our knowledge of how civil servants are prepared for their service, and the opportunities they have to continue to enhance their skills. It also discusses the issue of education and training over a significant time period. The authors and editors are also to be commended for the detailed research, and the coherent presentation of a wealth of information.” — B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh, USA “This superb new collection is a massive step forward in explaining how some societies have built effective strategies for training and supporting those charged with ensuring the widest possible benefit in the implementation of policy and why others are still distorted by privilege, dogma and powerful vested interests. It should be required reading for all those entering public service and for all those charged with recruiting, mentoring and cultivating the common good.” — Ian Cawood, Stirling University, UK This book examines systems and practices of public service education and training in an international context. Focusing especially on Europe, but also with chapters on Australia, the United States and Canada, it provides a comparative analysis of the implementation, functioning and impact of public service training and education from the nineteenth century to the present. In doing so, the book highlights two key influential factors: national political-administrative traditions and administrative tasks imposed by social, political, and economic change. It furthers our knowledge of the role of the state, both as an employer and as the implementer of public policy, and demonstrates how historical analysis can be utilised to inform present debates about public service training, government reform and good governance. This book will appeal to practitioners, as well as all those interested in public administration and its history, governance, public management, bureaucracy, and civil service reform. Toon Kerkhoff is Assistant Professor of Public Administration at Leiden University, The Netherlands. His research interests include administrative and political history, corruption and integrity, public values and ethics, and public sector reform. Denis Moschopoulos is Professor at the Ionian University of Corfu in Greece, where he holds the chair of the institutional and administrative history of the Greek state.

    Abstract: This volume examines the process through which climate change is transforming global governance, as both an increasingly central issue on the international stage and an increasingly structured policy domain with its specific modes of governing, networks of actors, discourses, and knowledge practices. Collectively, the contributions aim to assess how and why climate change is becoming a dominant frame in international politics. In doing so, they also contribute to understanding the dynamics and drivers of climatization. As global warming progresses and efforts to mitigate and adapt intensify, living under a changing climate—or in a ‘new climate regime’ (Latour 2015)—increasingly appears as a central feature of ‘our’ new, and highly unequal, human condition in the Anthropocene. In other words, we firmly believe that climatization is here to stay. It is thus crucial to better understand this process, recognizing its problems and ambiguities, but also examining its transformative potential and identifying the conditions under which such potentials can be harnessed with a view to building a more effective and equitable climate politics. We think that the chapters in this book contribute to this endeavour. Stefan C.

    Abstract: This edited volume discusses digital democracy at the local level in Europe. Contrasting the political discourse surrounding participatory digital democracy with actual experiences of implementation, the book provides a wholistic view of digital democracy across Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. The book is divided into three parts. Chapters in Part I analyze discourses about participatory democracy in Europe. Chapters in Part II provide case studies of digital democracy practices at the local level in the EU. Chapters in Part III discuss the risks and challenges associated with digital democracy. Written by a panel of international, interdisciplinary experts, this volume will be of interest to researchers, students, and practitioners across public administration, political science, economics, management, and sociology.

    Abstract: Introduction -- Introduction to Strategic Trade Analysis -- Fundamental Systems of Strategic Trade Analysis -- Introduction to STA Methodologies -- Scripting an Illicit Strategic Trade Transaction -- Strategic Trade Risk Assessment -- Mirror Statistics -- Market Share Analysis -- Transshipment and Re-Export Analysis -- Machine Learning for Strategic Trade Analysis -- Network Analysis -- Applying Strategic Trade Analysis.
    Abstract: This book addresses ways that governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders can utilize data to uncover illicit trade in materials and equipment that could be used to support chemical, biological, nuclear, and advanced conventional weapons systems. Key concepts of strategic trade are introduced, including examples of strategic goods and their potential uses in weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and weapons systems, the interplay between the Harmonized System and strategic trade control regimes, and the data available for analysis in the field. Innovative, yet practical methodologies to analyze strategic trade cover the use of crime scripts, risk assessment indicators, mirror statistics, market share analysis, and transshipment and re-export analysis. There are also chapters on leading-edge techniques involving machine learning and network analysis that have shown promise in other areas of crime and illicit trade investigations. Each chapter provides step-by-step instructions on applying the technique, numerous case studies and examples, and discussions of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. This volume is designed to provide all types of analysts with practical pathways for understanding, detecting, and disrupting illicit procurement of materials and equipment needed to produce WMDs and advanced weapons.

    Abstract: Chapter 1. An International Scholar with a Dramatic Life -- Chapter 2. My Story: A Journey Through the 20th Century -- Chapter 3. Marek Thee: His Published Work -- On the author -- On the editors -- On the book.
    Abstract: Marek Thee was a Jewish Polish journalist, scholar, and activist. This book tells his life from narrowly escaping death in the Holocaust to exile in Palestine, where he became attached to the Polish consular service. On his return to Poland in 1950, he worked for the Foreign Ministry and later for the Polish Institute for International Affairs. He served as Head of the Polish delegation to the International Control Commission in Indochina in the late 1950s. In 1968 he lost his job and his Polish citizenship in a nationalistic and antisemitic campaign. He was able to move to Norway where he worked for twenty years at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), editing an international quarterly journal, Bulletin of Peace Proposals and doing research on the arms race. In retirement, he continued his research and writing at the Norwegian Human Rights Institute. The book vividly relates the drama of his life in Poland, Palestine, Indochina, and Norway. This is an open access book.
