Financial Markets (Dis)Integration in a Post-Brexit EU - Dieter Pesendorfer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Financial Markets (Dis)Integration in a Post-Brexit EU - Dieter Pesendorfer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The European Union is creating a Financial Union with a European Banking Union and a Capital Markets Union in reaction to lessons learned from incomplete financial markets integration, the Global Financial Crisis and European Sovereign Debt Crisis. This book critically analyses these projects for a more integrated, resilient and sustainable financial system at a time when the United Kingdom as the member state with the most developed capital markets and the leading global and European financial center, the City of London, is leaving the Union. Neoliberal financial globalization and markets integration policies have led to finance-led capitalism that caused the crises. By building on pre-crises integration ideas, the Union revives and expands the reach of capital markets-based financing and shadow banking. The book discusses the consequences of deeper integration and the future of European financial centers advocating an alternative financial markets integration based on theories explaining finacialization and finance-led capitalism.

Animal Diversity and Biogeography of the Cuatro Cienegas Basin - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Animal Diversity and Biogeography of the Cuatro Cienegas Basin - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This volume investigates the contemporary fauna that inhabit the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin. Divided into 15 chapters, it addresses and describes their diversity, taxonomic and biogeogaphic affinities, and ecological characteristics. The Cuatro Ciénegas Valley is a unique oasis in the south-central region of the State of Coahuila, part of the Sonoran Desert, in Mexico. Several clues, specially derived from the study of the microbiota, suggest a very ancient origin of the valley and its permanence through time. This condition had promoted a high level of endemism and led to unique interactions between the resident species.

The War Against Civilians - Vasja Badalic - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The War Against Civilians - Vasja Badalic - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a critical analysis of how the "war on terror" affected the civilian population in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This "forgotten war," which started in 2001 with the US-led invasion of Afghanistan, has seen more than 212,000 people killed in war-related incidents. Whilst most of the news media shifted their attention to other conflict zones, this war rages on. Badalič has amassed a vast amount of data on the civilian victims of war from both sides of the Durand line, the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He conducted interviews in Peshawar, Quetta, Islamabad, Kabul, Jalalabad, and many other cities and villages from 2008 to 2017. His data is mostly drawn from those extensive conversations held with civilian victims of war, Afghan and Pakistani officials, human-rights activists and members of the insurgency. The book is divided into three parts. The first examines the impact the US-led coalition, Afghan security forces and paramilitary groups had on civilians, with methods of combat such as drone strikes and kill-or-capture missions. The second part focuses on civilian victims of abuses of power by Pakistani security forces, including arbitrary detentions and forced disappearances. In the final part, Badalič explores the impact of unlawful practices used by the armed insurgency - the Afghan Taliban. Overall, the book seeks to tell the story of the civilian victims of the "War on Terror".

Robert Brown and Mungo Park - Joel Schwartz - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Robert Brown and Mungo Park - Joel Schwartz - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Explorer-naturalists Robert Brown and Mungo Park played a pivotal role in the development of natural history and exploration in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This work is a fresh examination of the lives and careers of Brown and Park and their impact on natural history and exploration. Brown and Park were part of a group of intrepid naturalists who brought back some of the flora and fauna they encountered, drawings of what they observed, and most importantly, their ideas. The educated public back home was able to gain an understanding of the diversity in nature. This eventually led to the development of new ways of regarding the natural world and the eventual development of a coherent theory of organic evolution. This book considers these naturalists, Brown, Park, and their contemporaries, from the perspective of the Scottish Enlightenment. Brown''s investigations in natural history created a fertile environment for breakthroughs in taxonomy, cytology, and eventually evolution. Brown''s pioneering work in plant taxonomy allowed biologists to look at the animal and plant kingdoms differently. Park''s adventures stimulated significant discoveries in exploration. Brown and Park''s adventures formed a bridge to such journeys as Charles Darwin''s voyage on H.M.S. Beagle, which led to a revolution in biology and full explication of the theory of evolution.
