"The primary aim of this book to understand, from an unbiased point of view, the ground-breaking paradigms and policies that have powered China's remarkable rise: from an agricultural society to an industrial powerhouse and a leading nation in a span of merely forty years from 1979 to 2019. The book covers the rise of China up to 2019 and is divided into five parts. The first part takes a strategic view of China's rise, the second part provides a quantitative assessment of China's rise using macroeconomic indicators; the third part provides a historical background of modern China, starting from the unification of China in 221 BC to the rise to power of the Communist Party of China, leading to the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The fourth part analyses China's governance as well as its economic system and lastly, part five summarizes China's rise and the paradigms that powered this rise."

"The economic crisis of 2008 has shown that the capital markets need new theoretical and mathematical concepts to describe and price financial instruments. Focusing almost exclusively on interest rates and coupon bonds, this book does not employ stochastic calculus - the bedrock of the present day mathematical finance - for any of the derivations. Instead, it analyzes interest rates and coupon bonds using quantum finance. The Heath-Jarrow-Morton and the Libor Market Model are generalized by realizing the forward and Libor interest rates as an imperfectly correlated quantum field. Theoretical models have been calibrated and tested using bond and interest rates market data. Building on the principles formulated in the author's previous book (Quantum Finance, Cambridge University Press, 2004) this ground-breaking book brings together a diverse collection of theoretical and mathematical interest rate models. It will interest physicists and mathematicians researching in finance, and professionals working in the finance industry"--Provided by publisher

Vor dem Hintergrund einer von ausländischen Beobachtern gezogenen verheerenden Bilanz der Entwicklung Afghanistans unter Karsei fragt der Verfasser nach den Möglichkeiten der Regierung Karsei, den vielfältigen Problemen des Landes gerecht zu werden. Behandelt werden die Struktur des afghanischen Staatshaushalts, an dem Innen- und Verteidigungsministerium zu fast 50% partizipieren, die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung des Drogenanbaus, der Einsatz internationaler Truppenverbände, die Arbeit der 2005 etablierten Versöhnungskommission für eine innerafghanische Konsensbildung sowie die Bedeutung der Religion. Von der Bevölkerung werden die enge Zusammenarbeit der Regierung mit den USA und die Besatzungspolitik der USA mit Ablehnung gesehen. (ICE2)

AbstractThe main aim of this study is to undertake an evaluation of the initial wave of stand‐alone social reports issued by the major market players in the UK using AA1000 as an evaluative tool, or benchmark, in order to ascertain the extent to which they conform to the provisions of AA1000, in particular the core principles of accountability and inclusivity. Applying the lens of the stakeholder model the paper examines to what extent contemporary SEAAR practices in the UK are likely to promote stakeholder accountability, or whether they are simply exercises in stakeholder management.
