This book provides a comprehensive investigation of the messy and
crisis-ridden relationship between the operations of capitalist
finance, global capital flows, and state power in emerging markets.
The politics, drivers of emergence, and diversity of these myriad
forms of state power are explored in light of the positionality of
emerging markets within the network of space and power relations
that characterises contemporary global finance. The book develops a
multi-disciplinary perspective and combines insights from Marxist
political economy, post-Keynesian economics, economic geography,
and postcolonial and feminist International Political Economy.
Alami comprehensively reviews the theories, histories, and
geographies of cross-border finance management, and develops a
conceptual framework which allows unpacking the complex
entanglement of constraint and opportunities, of growing
integration and tight discipline, that cross-border finance
represents for emerging markets. Extensive fieldwork research
provides an in-depth comparative critical interrogation of the
policies and regulations deployed in Brazil and South Africa. This
volume will be especially useful to those researching and working
in the areas of international political economy, contemporary
geographies of money and finance, and critical development studies.
It should also prove of interest to policy makers, practitioners,
and activists concerned with the relation between finance and
development in emerging markets and beyond.

The essential guide that allows both sides to be heard Rabbi
Professor Dan Cohn-Sherbok presents the Israeli perspective, while
Dr Dawoud El-Alami presents the Palestinian perspective Updated to
cover the most recent events, including the US recognition of
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the May 2021 fighting in
Gaza, this bestselling introduction explores the history,
motivations and people behind the Palestine-Israel conflict - and
assesses the prospects for peace after almost eighty years.
This book examines energy security as one of nontraditional issues
that are strategic for Indonesia's foreign policy. It argues that
energy has not been considered as a strategic commodity in the
foreign policy to support the effectiveness of Indonesia's
diplomacy at the regional and international levels. International
and outward looking perspectives have not been much visible both in
the policy and political realities. Since foreign policy is a
reflection of domestic politics under the influence of
international developments, this study focuses its analysis on the
domestic and international aspects of the energy security issues.

DARS is now a well-established conference that gathers every two
years the main researchers in Distributed Robotics systems. Even if
the field is growing, it has been maintained a one-track conference
in order to enforce effective exchanges between the main
researchers in the field. It now a well-established tradition to
publish the main contributions as a book from Springer. There are
already 5 books entitled "Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems" 1
to 5.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th European
Conference on Planning, ECP'97, held in Toulouse, France, in
September 1997. The 35 revised full papers presented were carefully
reviewed and selected from 90 submissions. The range of topics
covered spans all aspects of current artificial intelligence
planning, from theoretical and foundational matters to actual
planning of systems and applications in a variety of areas.
A stunning collection of works from the groundbreaking grantLOVE
philanthropic art projectWhat is love? In LOVE: A Visual History of
the grantLOVE Project, artist Alexandra Grant explores that
question in this stunning, multifaceted volume. This comprehensive
history of the grantLOVE philanthropic art project is an archive of
LOVE works and a visual meditation on what "love" is, as conceived
by Grant and the numerous contributors showcased here. It is a
retrospective of more than 11 years of LOVE-related works and an
invitation to participate in and reflect on the confluence of
philanthropy and the arts, seeking to build community around the
role of love and empathy in contemporary art and culture.
Christians, Muslims and Jews all stem from one man, Abraham, and
yet relations between them are so often strained. Three men of
faith - one Jew, one Muslim and one Christian - debate the
differences between them. The result is a compelling discussion:
What do their faiths teach on the big issues of life? What can be
done to make for better relationships in the future? What can be
done on the big global areas of conflict and tension? How can they
get along? For hundreds of years, many of the biggest global
conflicts have been fuelled by religious hatred and prejudice. It
is evident, in the early part of the 21st century that not much has
changed. Whether it is fundamentalist Muslims waging jihad in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, or the perpetual low scale hostilities
between Israel and the Palestinians, to the man in the street,
religion seems to make people more likely to fight each other, not
less. Why is this? Why Can't They Get Along? is a powerful and much
needed account. Current, passionate and compelling it is essential
reading.

also includes 10 RoboCup Champions Papers. In addition to
presenting the proceedings of the RoboCup 2021 Symposium, the book
highlights the approaches of champion teams from the competitions.
Due to the complex research challenges set by the RoboCup
initiative, the RoboCup International Symposium offers a unique
perspective for exploring scientific and engineering principles
underlying advanced robotic and AI systems.
The available literature on energy storage technologies in general,
and mechanical energy storage in particular, is lacking in terms of
both quantity and quality. This edited volume focuses on novel (yet
uncomplicated) ideas that are currently part of the Energy Storage
curriculum at the University of Sharjah, UAE. These techniques have
been extensively researched and their prototypes are central to the
undergraduate Energy Storage Lab that is associated with the
course. Although ideally suited for wind energy storage, the
techniques described are also suitable for renewable energy storage
in general, and offer high two-way efficiency ratings.
