'Modern society is shaped in ways that were scarcely thought of a
few years ago - and debates on regulation and governance have much
work to do if they are to come to grips with new modes and sources
of influence such as the new media and transnational engagements.
This book makes an incisive contribution to the re-configuring of
those debates and will appeal to all who look for an invigorated
understanding of regulation, governance and social change.' -
Robert Baldwin, London School of Economics and Political Science,
UK Society, Regulation and Governance critically appraises the
issue of intentional social change through the lens of regulation
and governance studies. A twofold understanding of regulation and
governance underpins the conceptual and empirical engagement
throughout the book. On the one hand, regulation and governance are
understood to be innovatively minded. On the other hand the book
argues that, at their respective cores, regulation and governance
are continuously concerned with how intentional social change can
be fostered and what results can be yielded in terms of shaping
society. This book brings together sociologists, political
scientists, legal scholars and historians to produce an
interdisciplinary critical evaluation of alleged 'new modes' of
social change, specifically: risk, publics and participation. It
makes three key contributions by: offering a consolidation and
re-appraisal of a debate that has become increasingly vague with
its academic and political proliferation identifying a uniting
conceptual-analytical core between regulation and governance which
explains the adaptability and innovation-mindedness of processes of
'shaping society' re-focusing on the 'essence' of regulation and
governance approaches - intentional modes of social change.
Society, Regulation and Governance will give significant insight
into the potential and limits of new methods of social change,
suiting a wide range of social science and legal academics due to
its collaborative nature. Contributors include: A.-L. Beaussier, A.
Bora, E. Carmel, M. Huber, D. Kuchenbuch, M. Moelders, P. Munte, R.

We are entering a golden age of alternative investments.
Alternative asset classes including private equity, hedge funds,
catastrophe reinsurance, real assets, non-traditional credit,
alternative risk premia, digital assets, collectibles, and other
novel assets are now available to investors and their advisors in a
way that they never have been before. The pursuit of
diversification is not as straightforward as it once was - and the
classic 60/40 portfolio may no longer be sufficient in helping
investors achieve their most important financial goals. With the
ever-present need for sustainable income and risk management,
alternative assets are poised to play a more prominent role in
investor portfolios. Phil Huber is the Chief Investment Officer for
a multi-billion dollar wealth management firm and acts as your
guide on a journey through the past, present, and future of
alternative investments. In this groundbreaking tour de force, he
provides detailed coverage across the spectrum of alternative
assets: their risk and return characteristics, methods to gain
exposure, and how to fit everything into a balanced portfolio. The
three parts of The Allocator's Edge address: 1. Why the future may
present challenges for traditional portfolios; why the adoption of
alternatives has remained elusive for many allocators; and why the
case for alternatives is more compelling than ever thanks to
financial evolution and innovation. 2. A comprehensive survey of
the asset classes and strategies that comprise the vast universe of
alternative investments. 3. How to build durable and resilient
portfolios that harness alternative assets; and how to sharpen the
client communication skills needed to establish proper expectations
and make the unfamiliar familiar. The Allocator's Edge is written
with the practitioner in mind, providing financial advisors,
institutional allocators, and other professional investors the
confidence and courage needed to effectively understand, implement,
and translate alternatives for their clients. Alternative
investments are the allocator's edge for the portfolios of tomorrow
- and this is the essential guide for advisors and investors
looking to seize the opportunity.

This book is the first survey of a new field in architecture
theory: script writing. Architecture as Script Writing explores the
intersection of architecture, film, and text using the example of
the working method of scriptwriter, Rem Koolhaas, and the Office
for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). This book argues that Koolhaas
formulates his approach to architecture on the basis of the
“written sketch†or script, and questions its transformations
into built environment in the oeuvre of OMA. Divided into two
parts, the first part is a theoretical outline that explores the
notion of scriptwriting in film. It provides in-depth insights into
the definition and historical evolution of the script—as a
blueprint, Hollywood script, avant-garde script, storyboard, the
relation to auteur theory, and the difference between the script
and scenario. It surveys the first original script for the Exodus,
of the Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture. The second part offers
a unique perspective on the urban development of West Berlin, in
which Koolhaas created a metropolitan script, or blueprint, that
spans the period 1971 to 1989, from his first visit, to Berlin to
the fall of the Berlin Wall. This book will be of interest to
researchers and students of architectural theory, urban history and
film studies.

Bettina is the first monograph to showcase the work of the
previously unsung artist Bettina Grossman, whose wildly
interdisciplinary practice spanned photography, sculpture, textile,
cinema, drawing, and more. An eccentric personality fully dedicated
to her art, Bettina lived in the famous Chelsea Hotel from 1968
until her death in late 2021. In her tiny studio, she produced and
accumulated a considerable body of work, much of which has remained
unseen and unpublished until now. Her interests ranged from
geometric and abstract studies, drawn from observations of people
on the street, to pieces that transformed language into graphic,
abstract "verbal forms." Incorporating strategies of chance and the
abstraction of everyday form through repetition and seriality,
Bettina pushed the photographic medium to and beyond its limits. As
Robert Blackburn, artist and founder of the Printmaking Workshop,
astutely observed of Bettina's work: "The photography, film,
sculpture are as one, for the photographic medium is employed not
only for documentation but as an endless source of inspiration from
which other disciplines emerge-and merge." Bettina was the winner
of the Luma Rencontres Dummy Book Award Arles 2020 and is
copublished by Aperture and Editions Xavier Barral.
This volume explores how religious and spiritual actors engage for
environmental protection and fight against climate change. Climate
change and sustainability are increasingly prominent topics among
religious and spiritual groups. Different faith traditions have
developed "green" theologies, launched environmental protection
projects and issued public statements on climate change. Against
this background, academic scholarship has raised optimistic claims
about the strong potentials of religions to address environmental
challenges. Taking a critical stance with regard to these claims,
the chapters in this volume show that religious environmentalism is
an embattled terrain. Tensions are an inherent part of religious
environmentalism. These do not necessarily manifest themselves in
open clashes between different parties but in different actions,
views, theologies, ambivalences, misunderstandings, and sometimes
mistrust. Keeping below the surface, these tensions can create
effective barriers for religious environmentalism. The chapters
examine how tensions are manifested and dealt with through a range
of empirical case studies in various world regions. Covering
different religious and spiritual traditions, they reflect on
intradenominational, interdenominational, interreligious, and
religious-societal tensions. Thereby, this volume sheds new light
on the problems that religions face when they seek to take an
active role in today's societal challenges.
