In the last few years, anarchism has been rediscovered as a
transnational, cosmopolitan and multifaceted movement. Its
traditions, often hastily dismissed, are increasingly revealing
insights which inspire present-day scholarship in geography. This
book provides a historical geography of anarchism, analysing the
places and spatiality of historical anarchist movements, key
thinkers, and the present scientific challenges of the geographical
anarchist traditions. This volume offers rich and detailed insights
into the lesser-known worlds of anarchist geographies with
contributions from international leading experts. It also explores
the historical geographies of anarchism by examining their
expressions in a series of distinct geographical contexts and their
development over time. Contributions examine the changes that the
anarchist movement(s) sought to bring out in their space and time,
and the way this spirit continues to animate the anarchist
geographies of our own, perhaps often in unpredictable ways. There
is also an examination of contemporary expressions of anarchist
geographical thought in the fields of social movements,
environmental struggles, post-statist geographies, indigenous
thinking and situated cosmopolitanisms. This is valuable reading
for students and researchers interested in historical geography,
political geography, social movements and anarchism.
This book provides a historical account of anarchist geographies in
the UK and the implications for current practice. It looks at the
works of Frenchman Elisee Reclus (1830-1905) and Russian Pyotr
Kropotkin (1842-1921) which were cultivated during their exile in
Britain and Ireland. Anarchist geographies have recently gained
considerable interest across scholarly disciplines. Many aspects of
the international anarchist tradition remain little-known and
English-speaking scholarship remains mostly impenetrable to
authors. Inspired by approaches in historiography and mobilities,
this book links print culture and Reclus and Kropotkin's spheres in
Britain and Ireland. The author draws on primary sources,
biographical links and political circles to establish the early
networks of anarchist geographies. Their social, cultural and
geographical context played a decisive role in the formation and
dissemination of anarchist ideas on geographies of social
inequalities, anti-colonialism, anti-racism, feminism, civil
liberties, animal rights and 'humane' or humanistic approaches to
socialism. This book will be relevant to anarchist geographers and
is recommended supplementary reading for individuals studying
historical geography, history, geopolitics and anti-colonialism.

Consumer credit information systems are the tools used by the
majority of lenders to manage credit risk, with lenders accessing
credit reference databases managed by third party providers to
evaluate a consumer's credit application. So far, the subject of
consumer credit reporting has been left to the predominant
attention of the economic and business management scholarship and
little or no consideration has been paid by lawyers. This book aims
to rectify this by examining the legal framework and compliance in
the European Community (EC) of such consumer information sharing
arrangements which have become increasingly integrated in the
credit granting practices of the Member States. The book looks at
the laws which surround and affect consumer credit reporting,
including bank secrecy obligations. Consumer credit reporting and
its relationship to human rights is also explored, as every
individual is in the EC is entitled to informational privacy. The
book asks questions such as to what extent should the privacy of
consumers be balanced against the aims and functions of consumer
credit reporting, and how do the financial information sharing
arrangements comply with the positive law, particularly the
European data protection legislation?

The legitimacy or illegitimacy of information exchanges between
competitors remains a topical debate with regard to EU competition
law and policy. This book reexamines the issue in the retail
financial services sector, focusing on the peculiar problems that
it poses for EU market integration, consumer policy and protection
and the intersection with fundamental rights. It analyzes and
reflects on the relevant case law and guidelines offered by the
corresponding European authorities, providing a critique of the
current approach and advancing the proposition that information
markets themselves need attention, in addition to the markets that
they serve. The book also advances new perspectives on cases in
which consumers' personal information is involved in the exchange,
recognizing the inevitable interaction between EU competition law,
the interests and protection of consumers and personal data
protection. It suggests that the status quo under competition law
is unsatisfactorily short sighted and that the EU should take a
holistic approach (including information markets) to the analysis
of competition law, reflecting consumer protection and fundamental
rights aspects in the assessment.
Combining intellectual history, geography and political science,
this book addresses the relations between geography and the
federalist tendencies of key individuals during the
nineteenth-century Italian Risorgimento. The book investigates the
development of transnational federalist attitudes amongst a
political network of intellectuals, and hones in on several
understudied figures who played important roles in the Italian
radical movements for national and social liberation. Notably, this
includes political geographers who mobilised geographical metaphors
to foster change and reorganise territories. The author
demonstrates how federalism, anarchism and republicanism were all
connected and led not only to autonomy in Italy, but more locally
within its regions and municipalities, and more broadly across
Europe over the 'Long Risorgimento' period. Contributing to current
debates on federalism and anti-colonialism, this book will appeal
to historical geographers, political scientists and those
researching the history of federalism, republicanism and anarchism
in Europe.
International scholarship is increasingly aware that the
'geographical tradition' is a contentious and contested field:
while critical reflections on the imperial past of the discipline
are still ongoing, new tendencies including de-colonial studies and
geographies of internationalism are focusing on the progressive
aspects of plural geographical traditions. This volume contains
selected papers presented at two Symposia of the Commission on the
History of Geography of the International Geographical Union within
the 25th International Congress of History of Science and
Technology which took place in Rio de Janeiro in July 2017. The
papers address processes of 'decolonising' and 'internationalising'
science in the 19th and 20th century, with a special emphasis on
geography. Internationalization, circulation and dissemination of
geographical concepts and ideas are in the focus. The volume
includes case studies on Latin America, tropical regions as well as
Europe and Japan. There is also an emphasis on the history of
international congresses and organizations and on the international
circulation of knowledge.
Personal debt remains an important factor in many economic models
because it encourages people to use debt to finance consumption.
Whether this model is sustainable for individuals or the countries
in which they reside is an ongoing question of great complexity and
many social and economic implications, not only for the burdened
individuals and their countries, but also for the EU as a whole. In
Personal Debt in Europe, Federico Ferretti and Daniela Vandone
examine the 'dark side' of personal debt, or over-indebtedness, in
social and economic terms, and legal terms. They employ
cross-country consumer-level data to present the latest empirical
studies on the problem, analyse these findings to better understand
its nature and causes, and discuss the merits of proposed
insolvency legislation and harmonisation initiatives in the EU.
