Credit is essential in the modern world and creates wealth,
provided it is used wisely. The Global Credit Crisis during
2008/2009 has shown that sound understanding of underlying credit
risk is crucial. If credit freezes, almost every activity in the
economy is affected. The best way to utilize credit and get results
is to understand credit risk. Advanced Credit Risk Analysis and
Management helps the reader to understand the various nuances of
credit risk. It discusses various techniques to measure, analyze
and manage credit risk for both lenders and borrowers. The book
begins by defining what credit is and its advantages and
disadvantages, the causes of credit risk, a brief historical
overview of credit risk analysis and the strategic importance of
credit risk in institutions that rely on claims or debtors. The
book then details various techniques to study the entity level
credit risks, including portfolio level credit risks. Authored by a
credit expert with two decades of experience in corporate finance
and corporate credit risk, the book discusses the macroeconomic,
industry and financial analysis for the study of credit risk. It
covers credit risk grading and explains concepts including PD, EAD
and LGD. It also highlights the distinction with equity risks and
touches on credit risk pricing and the importance of credit risk in
Basel Accords I, II and III. The two most common credit risks,
project finance credit risk and working capital credit risk, are
covered in detail with illustrations. The role of diversification
and credit derivatives in credit portfolio management is
considered. It also reflects on how the credit crisis develops in
an economy by referring to the bubble formation. The book links
with the 2008/2009 credit crisis and carries out an interesting
discussion on how the credit crisis may have been avoided by
following the fundamentals or principles of credit risk analysis
and management. The book is essential for both lenders and
borrowers. Containing case studies adapted from real life examples
and exercises, this important text is practical, topical and
challenging. It is useful for a wide spectrum of academics and
practitioners in credit risk and anyone interested in commercial
and corporate credit and related products.
Standard narratives of Native American history view the nineteenth
century in terms of steadily declining Indigenous sovereignty, from
removal of southeastern tribes to the 1887 General Allotment Act.
In Crooked Paths to Allotment, C. Joseph Genetin-Pilawa complicates
these narratives, focusing on political moments when viable
alternatives to federal assimilation policies arose. In these
moments, Native American reformers and their white allies
challenged coercive practices and offered visions for policies that
might have allowed Indigenous nations to adapt at their own pace
and on their own terms. Examining the contests over Indian policy
from Reconstruction through the Gilded Age, Genetin-Pilawa reveals
the contingent state of American settler colonialism.
Genetin-Pilawa focuses on reformers and activists, including
Tonawanda Seneca Ely S. Parker and Council Fire editor Thomas A.
Bland, whose contributions to Indian policy debates have heretofore
been underappreciated. He reveals how these men and their allies
opposed such policies as forced land allotment, the elimination of
traditional cultural practices, mandatory boarding school education
for Indian youth, and compulsory participation in the market
economy. Although the mainstream supporters of assimilation
successfully repressed these efforts, the ideas and policy
frameworks they espoused established a tradition of dissent against
disruptive colonial governance.
