East Asian countries - currently the most dynamic region of the
global economy - have recently pursued trade liberalization through
the adoption of various forms of bilateral and plurilateral Free
Trade Agreements (FTAs). The book explores the key issues and
possible outcomes arising from this departure from the region's
traditional multilateral approach to trade liberalization.
Implications of this new approach for the region as a whole, and
key participating individual economies and blocs of economies, are
emphasized. New East Asian Regionalism includes up-to-date analysis
of the most recent developments in FTAs between countries in East
Asia, as well as those involving countries from outside the region.
Furthermore, the book includes invaluable projections on economic
and welfare outcomes of regional trade agreements, using the very
latest empirical techniques, and data. The book also considers the
implications arising from closer financial integration in the
region. This book will be warmly welcomed by scholars of regional
science, international economics and business, as well as Asian
studies. Policymakers at both the national government and
international organization level will also find this book of great
interest.
Korea has played, and will increasingly play, an important role in
the future development of the South East Asian region, including
the expansion of regional economic cooperation and interregional
trade. Indeed Korea has been a leading proponent of the idea of
ASEAN+3. Clearer understanding of this economy, its major
contemporary policy and reform issues and its future, are of
particular interest from both regional and global perspectives.A
remarkable recovery of the post-crisis Korean economy occurred, but
questions over its sustainability remain. Korea, therefore, stands
at an important economic crossroads. This opportune book draws upon
the knowledge of a wide range of experienced Korean economists and
specialists to cover in detail many specific sectors and policy
areas, ranging from the key reform sectors - financial, corporate,
and public and the labour market, to that of monetary and exchange
rate policies. The role and contribution of the 'new economy' is
also examined along with developments in Korea's trade and foreign
direct investment, free trade agreement policy, inter-Korean
economic relations, and the core ingredients of a 'new' growth and
economic development paradigm. Scholars and researchers of
comparative economics as well as more specifically contemporary
Korean and Asian economic, development and financial studies will
find this book of great interest.
Complex Lie groups have often been used as auxiliaries in the study of real Lie groups in areas such as differential geometry and representation theory. To date, however, no book has fully explored and developed their structural aspects.
The Structure of Complex Lie Groups addresses this need. Self-contained, it begins with general concepts introduced via an almost complex structure on a real Lie group. It then moves to the theory of representative functions of Lie groups- used as a primary tool in subsequent chapters-and discusses the extension problem of representations that is essential for studying the structure of complex Lie groups. This is followed by a discourse on complex analytic groups that carry the structure of affine algebraic groups compatible with their analytic group structure. The author then uses the results of his earlier discussions to determine the observability of subgroups of complex Lie groups.
The differences between complex algebraic groups and complex Lie groups are sometimes subtle and it can be difficult to know which aspects of algebraic group theory apply and which must be modified. The Structure of Complex Lie Groups helps clarify those distinctions. Clearly written and well organized, this unique work presents material not found in other books on Lie groups and serves as an outstanding complement to them.
Recent developments in the world economy, including
deindustrialisation and the digital revolution, have led to an
increasingly individualistic relationship between workers and
employers, which in turn has weakened labour movements and worker
representation. However, this process is not universal, including
in some countries of Asia, where trade unions are closely aligned
with the interests of the dominant political party and the state.
This book considers the many challenges facing trade unions and
worker representation in a wide range of Asian countries. For each
country, full background is given on how trade unions and other
forms of worker representation have arisen. Key questions then
considered include the challenges facing trade unions and worker
representation in each country, the extent to which these are a
result of global or local developments and the actions being taken
by trade unions and worker representative bodies to cope with the
challenges. This book is dedicated to the memory of Professor Keith
Thurley, London School of Economics.

ICISC 2009, the 12th International Conference on Information
Security and Cryptology, was held in Seoul, Korea, during December
2-4, 2009. It was - ganized by the Korea Institute of Information
Security and Cryptology (KIISC) and the Ministry of Public
Administration and Security (MOPAS). The aim of this conference was
to provide a forum for the presentation of new results in research,
development, and applications in the ?eld of information security
and cryptology. It also served as a place for research information
exchange. The conference received 88 submissions from 22 countries,
covering all areas of inf- mation security and cryptology. The
review and selection processes were carried out in two stages by
the Program Committee (PC) comprising 57 prominent - searchers via
online meetings. First, at least three PC members blind-reviewed
each paper, and papers co-authored by the PC members were reviewed
by at least ?ve PC members. Second, individual review reports were
revealed to PC members, and detailed interactive discussion on each
paper followed. Through this process,thePC?nally selected 25papers
from15countries. The acceptance rate was 28. 4%. The authors of
selected papers had a few weeks to prepare for their ?nal versions
based on the comments received from more than 80 ext- nal
reviewers. The conference featured one tutorial and one invited
talk. The tutorial was given by Amit Sahai from the University of
California and the talk was given by Michel Abdalla from Ecole
normale sup erieure.
Chalcogenide: From 3D to 2D and Beyond reviews graphene-like 2D
chalcogenide systems that include topological insulators,
interesting thermoelectric structures, and structures that exhibit
a host of spin phenomena that are unique to 2D and
lower-dimensional geometries. The book describes state-of-the-art
materials in growth and fabrication, magnetic, electronic and
optical characterization, as well as the experimental and
theoretical aspects of this family of materials. Bulk
chalcogenides, chalcogenide films, their heterostructures and
low-dimensional chalcogenide-based quantum structures are
discussed. Particular attention is paid to findings that are
relevant to the continued search for new physical phenomena and new
functionalities. Finally, the book covers the enormous
opportunities that have emerged as it has become possible to
achieve lower-dimensional chalcogenide structures by epitaxial
techniques.
This book disseminates information on paper-based diagnostics
devices and describes novel paper materials, fabrication
techniques, and Basic Paper-based microfluidics/electronics theory.
The section on sample preparation, paper-based electronics/sensors
for developing paper-based point-of-care (POC) systems also
contains detailed descriptions. In the application sections this
book covers sensing technique for DNA/RNA, bacteria/virus and
integration of lateral flow assay. The book provides deep
understanding and knowledge of paper-based diagnostic device
development in terms of concept, materials, fabrication and
applications.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International

carefully reviewed and selected from 266 submissions. The
contributions are organized in topical sections on lattices and
quantum cryptography; public key encryption; database privacy; hash
function; symmetric key encryption; zero knowledge proof; universal
composability; foundation; secure computation and secret sharing;
public key signature; and leakage resilient cryptography.
This book advances the understanding of corporate sustainability
and challenges and roles of sustainability accounting in the
Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific region has shown fast
economic growth for several decades which is expected to continue.
In this context, Asia has become the "production engine" of the
global economy. At the same time scientific reports reveal that
some planetary boundaries are crossed, for example relating to
biodiversity and climate change. Companies in the Asia-Pacific
region are therefore increasingly challenged to reduce their
environmental impacts, to document their social contribution and to
contribute to sustainable development. Key approaches to identify
sustainability problems and challenges, to support improvement
processes and to back up sustainability contributions include
accounting and reporting. In contrast to the high relevance of
accounting and reporting for corporate sustainability for the
Asia-Pacific region, academic research has so far been dominated by
Western researchers and pre-dominantly dealt with Western and
Japanese cases and approaches. It is thus time to take account of
Asian perspectives on accounting and reporting for sustainability
in the Asia-Pacific region.

This book provides readers with an integrative overview of the
latest research and developments in the broad field of biomedical
engineering. Each of the chapters offers a timely review written by
leading biomedical engineers and aims at showing how the
convergence of scientific and engineering fields with medicine has
created a new basis for practically solving problems concerning
human health, wellbeing and disease. While some of the latest
frontiers of biomedicine, such as neuroscience and regenerative
medicine, are becoming increasingly dependent on new ideas and
tools from other disciplines, the paradigm shift caused by
technological innovations in the fields of information science,
nanotechnology, and robotics is opening new opportunities in
healthcare, besides dramatically changing the ways we actually
practice science. At the same time, a new generation of engineers,
fluent in many different scientific "languages," is creating
entirely new fields of research that approach the "old" questions
from a new and holistic angle. The book reports on the scientific
revolutions in the field of biomedicine by describing the latest
technologies and findings developed at the interface between
science and engineering. It addresses students, fellows, and
faculty and industry investigators searching for new challenges in
the broad biomedical engineering fields.
This book reviews the research in various fields of oceanography on
the responses of the East Japan Sea to climate change. The
uniqueness of the East Japan Sea comes from the rapid and amplified
response to climate change, which includes long-terms trends of
physical and chemical parameters at a rate that almost doubles or
even higher the global rate. This book aims to provide in an
organized way the results from the previously published knowledge
but also to introduce an updated view of the research recently
carried out. The book is divided into several parts that comprise
the physical, chemical, biological, and geological aspects of the
region and fisheries. This book is made for researchers and
students working on climate variability as well as for the
oceanography community working on world's marginal seas. The
research presented in this work will also benefit to researchers
from other fields such as social scientists and environmentalists,
and also policy makers.
Following consistent and rapid general economic growth, Pacific Rim
countries have grown as a major force in sports. Australia, China,
Japan and Korea populated the top ten medals list at the 2012
London Olympics. Pacific Rim countries are major consumers of
international sports and domestic professional sports have expanded
continuously over time. Nippon Professional Baseball and the Korean
Baseball Organization are the second and third largest baseball
leagues measured by attendance and revenue following Major League
Baseball in the U.S. This book also includes event studies of team
ownership, assessment of human capital markets, analysis of the
relationship between attendance and competitive balance, the
components of fan demand in common the world over, and business
decisions concerning attendance and pricing. There is already
demand for comprehensive study of the sports business in the
Pacific Rim as witnessed by this growth. This book will be of
interest of researchers studying and/or teaching in the fields of
sports economics and sports management as well as a general
audience interested in business governance around the world.
This book connects business sustainability to supply network-based
value creation and enhancement, and tests a number of key
propositions in complex supply networks to identify key challenges.
Examining practical issues such as carbon trading, green product
development, worker safety, child labour and relations with local
communities, Business Value and Sustainability advances the
understanding of sustainability in supply network management. In
presenting a supply management perspective including a tighter
control of the supply base and the development of supplier
capability through collaboration with NGOs, the authors contribute
to both the theoretical advancement and practical development of
this field. The book aims to raise the sustainability standards of
businesses in an increasingly complex and inter- and
intra-connected global supply network.
