Global Challenges of Climate Change, Vol.2 Risk Assessment, Political and Social Dimension of the Green Energy Transition - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Nowadays we observe the rise of average global temperature. There are many initiatives to combat this process, including Kyoto Protocol and Paris agreement. The general remedy against this process is decarbonization and use of renewable energy. At the moment, above 80% of used energy is produced from fossil fuels, but there are plans to cut down this share significantly in the next decades, not only in EU, but also across the globe. When we want to argue about the consequences of this process for FSU countries (now EAEU), we need to take into account both heterogeneity of physical climate change across the globe and the risks linked to international trade. The major territory of EAEU countries is occupied by Russian Federation, and its risks will be assessed separately. The next group is Central Asian countries, which is compact geographically comparing to Russia. First, we need to study the predicted risks for those countries caused by global warming. There are several processes associated with it: (a) change of average temperature and climate, (b) transition to renewable energies as a way to combat the process.
New Challenges for Macroeconomic Policies Economic Growth, Sustainable Development, Fiscal and Monetary Policies - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: P REFACE Macroeconomists’ efforts to investigate a series of new phenomena have been considerable over the past decade. Theories and methods hitherto considered to be the backbone of reasoning are gradually being called into question, because they do not provide answers to new puzzles. Why don’t current Phillips curves take into account financial inflation, that is, changes in the financial asset prices? Why should a central bank worry about controlling the real sector inflation when it is low? How should governments behave to reduce income and wealth inequalities? Why do macroeconomists continue to consider climate changes and countries’ health situation as exogenous to economies? Has industrial capitalism come of age? Why have natural interest rates been falling for at least two decades? What about helicopter money? Is it not an appropriate way to settle public debts? Isn’t it dangerous for governments to continue accumulating debt as they do today? Who will repay the debt? Are we going to reduce public debts as we did after the Second World War by using financial repression policies?
Political Economy of Gender and Development in Africa Mapping Gaps, Conflicts and Representation - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This volume on ‘Political Economy of Gender and Development in Africa; Mapping Gaps, Conflicts and Representation’ is driven by issues rather than abstract theories on gender and development. The book offers clear dis- cussions of central issues of conflict, representation, accessibility and avail- ability of resources to materialise gender justice and ensure rights of women in different spheres of private and public lives. The book helps us to think and understand different issues and challenges of gender and development in Africa. The aim of this book is to focus on threads con- necting with the present needs of women to a possible future emancipa- tion of women from the institutions, structures and processes that perpetuate poverty and accelerate different forms of uneven development. The ideals and practices of both gendered development and patriarchal policy processes as contested domains, where capitalism, patriarchy, class, race and other state power structures are undermining women’s empow- erment within existing political, economic, social, cultural and religious systems.
The Political Economy of Reforms and the Remaking of the Proletarian Class in China, 1980s–2010s - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: CHAPTER 1 Introduction On 1 July 2021, Xi Jinping stated in his speech at the conference of cele- bration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that the Reform and Opening Up and socialist modernisation is one of the greatest achievements of the CCP.1 In the speech, he said the People’s Republic of China (PRC) “achieved the implementation from the highly centralised planned economic system to the dynamic system of a socialist market economy” (shixian le cong gaodu jizhong de jihua jingji tizhi dao chongman huoli de shehui zhuyi shichang jingji tizhi). Raised up in 1978, the Reform and Opening Up (gaige kaifang ) has lasted for 44 years now, as has the state’s reform of the economic system. As Xi mentioned in his speech, due to the reform of the economic system, China has become the second-largest economy in the world
Geography of Happiness A Spatial Analysis of Subjective Well-Being - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Recent advances in spatial analysis have led to a growing interest in applying geocomputation methods to complex issues (Du et al., 2020), often defined over large datasets framing socioeconomic variables (Ekbia et al., 2015) and the natural environment (Bryan et al., 2011). Much of this work has been carried out to optimize decision-making and lead to a better quality of life, economic growth and social stability (Higgins et al., 2014; Rosu et al., 2015; Ahlfeldt et al., 2020). Thanks to the advances of computational power, spatial analysis has reached a new stage, where nonlinear modelling approaches combined with stochastic modelling allow for a better understanding of the geographical environment (Silva et al., 2020) and there- fore foster more accurate decision-making (Carver, 2019). This decision-making has focused predominantly on sustainable development, leading to better life quality, where spatial information on the natural environment has brought a key role, partic- ularly in ecology, to understand the present and offer a more sustainable future. From an anthropocentric perspective, wellbeing is the relation of humankind’s social, economic, and environmental stability, maximizing the opportunities for sustainable development while leading to better life quality. This holistic approach of wellbeing closely rem
China, Latin America, and the Global Economy Economic, Historical, and National Issues - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: CHAPTER 1 Introduction Alessandro Golombiewski Teixeira and Aaron Schneider China has sought to occupy a more prominent global position without upsetting existing international relationships. This has been especially true in Latin America, where the US continues to dominate regional relations as a result of geographic proximity and historical engagement, among other reasons. Still, China is already the top trading partner or among the top trading partners for every country in the region, espe- cially as Chinese growth outpaced the West in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, and China has continued to act as the motor for the international economy after the onset of the 2019 pandemic. Increas- ingly, Chinese capital rivals Western-dominated multilateral, bilateral, and private lenders and investors in the region. To make sense of Chinese “going out” and the response from Latin America, the current projec
Climate Change in Central Asia Decarbonization, Energy Transition and Climate Policy - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This chapter provides a broad introduction to the impact of climate change in Central Asia, a region that has been experiencing a greater rise in temperatures than other parts of the world. The chapter shows how climate change represents a significant threat to Central Asia, exacerbating existing economic and environmental challenges and fueling regional tensions over resource management. Inefficient water resource management at the national level and limited regional collaboration on the management of water resources, coupled with state capacities that remain insuffi- cient to tackle climate change impacts, compound water-related tensions between the countries in the region. The chapter also shows how decarbonisation efforts in Central Asia are still in their early stages, with coal remaining a primary source of energy. Although the Central Asian countries have announced decarbonisation targets and adopted green economy strategies and programmes to reduce green- house gas emissions, a large-scale clean energy transition remains unlikely in the short term. The chapter concludes by identifying a lack of scholarship on climate change in Central Asia, which limits the development of a coherent approach to climate change mitigation and adaptation and evidence-based decision-making in the region. The chapter argues that a more coordinated approach to tackling climate change across the region is needed, requiring closer collaboration and more effective joint management of natural resources by the five Central Asian states. Finally, the chapter presents the chapters in the rest of the book
Digital Transformation of the Financial Industry Approaches and Applications - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Preface This book is aimed to be a collection of state-of-the-art research findings in digital transformations across the financial industry from the Central and East European markets. Digitalization is fundamentally changing financial services in the last few decades and tends to reshape the landscape of financial industry in an unprecedented manner. This book seeks to extend the concurrent body of knowledge on digital transformation in the financial industry by encompassing significant conceptual contributions, innovations in methods and techniques and by delineating the main applications of digital transformation in the CEE region. Although the books elaborating digital transformation in finance can be found in the market, these books dominantly focus on developed market. The aim of this book is to progress one-step forward—to focus on practice in developing and transitional/post- transitional countries. When any technology disrupts an industry, trailblazers are usually from the highly developed countries. Diffusion of tech-related disruption is, however, only rarely linear and uninterrupted. Thusly, we were highly motivated to collect the evidence on the development of fintech from the CEE countries. This book can serve to all important fintech stakeholders—students, academic community (with both technical and social science background), and practitioners (decision-makers and policy holders in various organizations of the financial sys- tems). As for the students, typical users are master or doctoral level of education with major subjects covering business, finance, accounting, economics, management science, and other fields in social science and/or engineering. As for the academic community, the book might be interesting for lecturers and scholars from CEE countries. Finally, the book is aimed at practitioners—economic analysts, informa- tion technology developers and information system experts, small investors, insti- tutional investors, as well as regulators of the financial system and national finance
The Colombian Economy and Its Regional Structural Challenges A Linkages Approach - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Preface I have been teaching a Ph.D. course on “Applied General Equilibrium Models” at the University of São Paulo, Department of Economics, since 1999. Over the last editions of the course, the material was built around specific countries or regions, selected to be the object of modeling practices undertaken by the students. This praxis turned out to be very rewarding for the students since they were motivated to apply different techniques to study concrete problems in a common economic system. Throughout this process, they had the opportunity to collaborate among themselves and interact with scholars from the study regions, often generating scholarly publications. We had already worked with countries such as Brazil, Chile, Greece, and Paraguay, and with different regional contexts, especially within Brazil. Colombia had always been a top candidate to receive our attention. Our previous engagement with colleagues from the Centro de Estudios Económicos Regionales (CEER), a research center specialized in Regional and Urban Economics at the Banco de la República— the Colombian Central Bank—provided a unique opportunity to develop a special edition of the course on the country. During a visit to Cartagena in 2019, Jaime Bonet and I finally agreed to use Colombia as the case study in the forthcoming edition of the course. We designed the Colombian edition in innovative and challenging ways, raising the bar for the expected outcomes, including a workshop to be hosted in Cartagena in 20201 and the publication of a volume including the contributions by different authors forming a cohesive unit. We built the activities upon solid co
The Relational Governance of Artificial Intelligence Forms and Interactions - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: he book “The Relational Governance of Artificial Intelligence—Forms and Inter- actions” by Sabine Wiesmüller deals both with the theoretical prerequisites and prac- tical possibilities of the governance of “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) in the interplay of social, entrepreneurial, and ethical decision-making logics. In particular, Sabine Wiesmüller’s book aims to contribute to the discussion of a theme that all societies are confronted with today and for which solutions are being sought, namely the complex interactions and network effects of the technological, economic and social aspects of AI. The book focuses on a genuinely interdisciplinary analysis: The overlap and rela- tionalisation between economic, system-theoretical, and ethical language games. Only through such a relationalisation—and this is one of the basic assumptions of the author—can the challenges of the rapidly developing technical and economic possi- bilities, risks, and challenges of artificial intelligence in the economy and society be understood and productively dealt with. The aim of the analysis is therefore twofold: On the one hand, it provides a theo- retical literature reconstruction of the polyvalent forms of governance of AI. On the other hand, it also addresses the practical possibilities for an intersectoral imple- mentation of relational governance of AI. The latter means that the governance of AI must enable and promote the cooperation of the multiple stakeholders involved, especially their interests, resources and decision-making logics. It is therefore about the relational governance of economic and social transactions that relationalise tech- nical logic, economic value creation and ethical demands such as self-interest, trust, integrity and stakeholder legitimacy. In this way, the adaptive approach to uncertainty and process dynamics becomes possiblآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
