The project "Dialogues on the appropriate management of substances of concern in the circular economy" aimed to create a common and well-founded understanding of the challenges that arise at the interfaces of chemicals and waste legislation between experts from industries and businesses and the national authorities from both regulatory areas. To this end, three workshops were held with participants from business and the specialised authorities, each of which focused on a selected aspect of the interface. Based on the expert discussions, the authors identified and described approaches for action that contribute to strengthening the circular economy and ensuring effective risk management in the circulation of materials containing hazardous chemicals.

"How do we understand the position of Americans in the expanding global empires of the nineteenth century? They can be found everywhere in the records but are almost invisible in the literature. The China Firm addresses this problem through a study of the men and women involved in the most prominent and important American trading firm in treaty-port China: Augustine Heard & Company. The book follows the Heard brothers throughout their firm's rise and decline to explore the ways Americans participated in the British imperial mission in China. The China Firm argues that through their participation Americans made and were made by colonial society, helping cement social and racial hierarchies as they exploited colonial systems for their own profit and became increasingly invested in the British imperial project, its political affairs, and its commercial networks. Drawing upon a vast range of archival material from Hong Kong, China, Boston, and London, The China Firm's global-microhistorical approach uses the central narrative of Augustine Heard & Co. to disentangle the ties that bound the United States to China and the British empire in the nineteenth century. Through the Heard brothers' story, the book engages with a range of historical scales to unpack the varied contexts that affected the ways Americans interacted with British colonial society, defined their goals, formed and reformed their identities. Similar in many ways to their British neighbors, but also prepossessed of their own national interests, the Heards' story provides an unparalleled example of how Americans gained acceptance into and contributed to the making of global empires. Centered on Hong Kong, The China Firm describes the transimperial lives of these American traders and the complex ways extraimperial communities interacted with British colonialism in China, providing a vital contribution to nineteenth-century global histories of Asia and an alternative narrative of British empire."

"For as long as mankind has existed, people have worked. Needless to say the nature of work has changed tremendously: our distant ancestors were mostly hunters and collectors, but nowadays people work with data, 'goods' or other people, or provide services. What has not changed is that we still spend a substantial part of our lives working. It is therefore not surprising that some people's work is about understanding the nature and conditions of the work of others in an attempt to explain, predict and improve it. These are work psychologists, teachers, trainers and practitioners in work psychology, as well as those who study the phenomenon of work and worker behavior: the researchers"--

"Russo-Ukrainian War: Implications for the Asia Pacific explores the implications of the Russo-Ukrainian war for American and Chinese engagement in the Asia Pacific. It interprets Russia's invasion of Ukraine which began on February 24, 2022 as part of a complex double game where the Kremlin and Washington simultaneously spar, bluffing for high stakes despite catastrophic risks in the name of lofty ideals, while pursuing expedient default agendas. Both sides champion virtuous global orders compatible with their tastes and objectives. Washington seeks to compel Moscow to abide by its rules and vice-versa. The immediate impact of the Russo-Ukrainian War on the Asia Pacific has been to confirm Chinese President Xi Jinping's perception that Washington is committed to low-cost, regime-changing Cold War with China to preserve its status as the world's preeminent superpower. Washington is willing to increase hard power defense spending modestly to tackle the Taiwan and South China Sea issues, but will not compete with China in an arms race, curtail productivity stifling government over-regulation and social spending or curb China's abusive state trading. Emboldened by what Washington considers America's successes in the Russo-Ukrainian proxy war, American President Joe Biden plans to reinforce military spending with attitude management campaigns, moral suasion and coalitions of the willing including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization - efforts to spark Chinese color revolution and regime change. Biden diplomatically calls his policy Cold Peace, but his actions bespeak Cold War. Amid the power contestation among the United States, Russia and China, it is naïve in the contemporary world to suppose that the three major powers can permanently subjugate each other. Wise leadership requires satisficing for the attainable good rather than striving for the delusional best"--
