ISBN : 9781138098459.
320 SIN 145789
This book examines a wide range of issues that are
expected to play a dominant role in shaping the 21st
century. Delineating key concerns in geopolitics,
democracy and peace, it studies the functions and
influences of educational institutions, progressive
religious and social groups, communities, international
institutions such as the United Nations, and forums
promoting inter-faith dialogue. The author underscores
how the century may be forged by a pluralist ethos:
multiple and diverse nation-states, centers of power,
faiths, cultures, economies, and languages. He stresses
the need to nurture moral strength and enlightened
leadership for a life of compassion, peace and holistic
development.

Building state capability : evidence, analysis, action /
Matt Andrews, Lant Pritchett, and Michael Woolcock.-- New

Includes bibliographical references and index.
ISBN : 9780198747482.
338.90091724 AND 145772
This book addresses the weaknesses and gaps. It starts by
providing evidence of the capability shortfalls that
currently exist in many countries, showing that many
governments lack basic capacities even after decades of
reforms and capacity building efforts. The book then
analyses this evidence, identifying capability traps that
hold many governments back - particularly related to
isomorphic mimicry and premature load bearing.These
applications will help readers devise policies and
reforms that have more impact than those of the past.

Development after statism : industrial firms and the
political economy of South Asia / Adnan Naseemullah.--
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017.
xx,329pages , 23 cm.
(South Asia in the social sciences).
ISBN : 9781107158634.
338.954 NAS 145774
Adnan Naseemullah discusses industrial development in a
new era of drastically constricted state capacity, from
the perspective of the manufacturing firm. India-s
manufacturing economy has been growing after state
promotion has receded. How, then, does Indian
manufacturing develop in this context? Naseemullah argues
that Indian firms must create production structures
themselves, investing in networks of capital and labor
without signals from above. Depending on manufacturers-
backgrounds, these relationships are based either on
formal rules or through personal ties, creating a
patchwork of institutions that crosscut region and
sector. As a result, many firms have been able to regain
some certainty for investment, but at the cost of
national coherence and the possibility of broader
transformation.

Macroeconomic paradigms and economic policy : from the
great depression to the great recession / Nicola
Acocella, Giovanni Di Bartolomeo and Andrew H Hallett.--
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2016.
xiv, 339 p,illustrations , 24cm.
ISBN : 9781107542099.
339.5 ACO 145775
The recent financial crisis has demonstrated the dangers
of ignoring the factors that led to previous crises, and
the effectiveness of the policies designed to deal with
them. Over time, these macroeconomic policies have
evolved, oscillating between state intervention and a
free market approach. Following a story that runs from
the pre-Great Depression era up until the Financial
Crisis of 2007-11, this book reveals an intimate
connection between new macroeconomic ideas and policies
and the events in the real economy that inspired them. It
does this in an accessible, easy-to-follow style, first
by focusing on the developments of economic theories and
policies, and then by concentrating on the design of
domestic and international institutions and economic
governance.

This book explores a powerful alternative framework for
risk in design and management of human systems. Anti-
Fragile organisations, like biological systems, being
more than robust actually improve their resilience
through being stressed. In the book, Professor Bendell
explains how its application in development and
management of organisations, services and products,
allows us to identify the characteristics that will not
only mitigate against the realisation of hazards, but
enable growth in protection, strength and anti-fragility.

Today’s economies - the development of welfare and
sustainability - cannot be solved with innovations in
individual service offerings only, and that innovations
of service systems are increasingly needed. It
illustrates the achievements of two research traditions,
one based on the general innovation theory and the other
based on the service marketing theory.
