4 Stuenkel, Oliver
The BRICS and the future of global order / Oliver

xiv, 213p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9789386243935.

The transformation of the BRIC acronym from an investment
term into a household name of international politics and,
more recently, into a semi-institutionalized political
outfit (called BRICS, with a capital -S-), is one of the
defining developments in international politics in the
past decade. While the concept is now commonly used in
the general public debate and international media, there
has not yet been a comprehensive and scholarly analysis
of the history of the BRICS term.

5 Harhoff, Dietmar (ed)
Revolutionizing innovation : users, communities, and open
innovation / Dietmar Harhoff and Karim R Lakhani.--
Cambridge: The MIT Press, 2016.
xii, 576p.; 23cm.
ISBN : 9780262029773.
338.064 HAR 145039
The last two decades have witnessed an extraordinary
growth of new models of managing and organizing the
innovation process that emphasizes users over producers.
Large parts of the knowledge economy now routinely rely
on users, communities, and open innovation approaches to
solve important technological and organizational
problems. This view of innovation, pioneered by the
economist Eric von Hippel, counters the dominant
paradigm, which cast the profit-seeking incentives of
firms as the main driver of technical change.

6 Bookstaber, Richard
The End of theory : financial crises, the failure of
economics, and the sweep of human interaction / Richard
Bookstaber.-- Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2017
viii, 226p. ; 24cm.
ISBN : 9780691169019.
338.542 BOO 145031
In The End of Theory, Richard Bookstaber, one of the
world-s leading risk managers, discusses why the human
condition and the radical uncertainty of our world
renders the standard economic model--and the theory
behind it--useless for dealing with financial crises.
What model should replace it? None. At least not any
version we-ve been using for the past two hundred years.
Instead, Bookstaber argues for a new approach called
agent based economics, one that takes as a starting point
the fact that we are humans, not the optimizing
automatons that standard economics assumes we are.
Bookstaber-s groundbreaking paradigm promises to do a far
better job at preventing crises and managing those that
break out. As he explains, our varied memories and
imaginations color our economic behavior in unexpected
hues. Agent-based modeling embraces these nuances by
avoiding the mechanistic, unrealistic structure of
our current economic approach.

7 Gerges, Fawaz A
ISIS : a history / Fawaz A Gerges.-- Princeton: Princeton
University Press, 2016.
xiii, 368p. , 22cm.
ISBN : 9780691170008.
363.3250956 GER 145032
In this book, one of the world-s leading authorities on
political Islam and jihadism sheds new light on these
questions as he provides a unique history of the rise and
growth of ISIS. Moving beyond journalistic accounts,
Fawaz Gerges provides an account of the deeper conditions
that fuel ISIS. The book describes how ISIS emerged in
the chaos of Iraq following the 2003 U.S. invasion, how
the group was strengthened by the suppression of the Arab
Spring and by the war in Syria, and how ISIS seized
leadership of the jihadist movement from Al Qaeda.
