Discover the keys to personal financial management with the
practical introduction in Garman/Fox's market-leading PERSONAL
FINANCE, 14th EDITION. The step-by-step approach gives you a set of
actionable items on how to save and invest, manage financial risk,
plan for taxes, decrease credit card debt and reduce financial
stress throughout your lifetime. Financial planning sounds easy but
has proven difficult for far too many. Throughout the book you will
find many "notes from our future selves", which are based on
decades of research in personal finance where the authors have come
to understand the cognitive and implicit biases that influence our
financial decisions. All too often, these biases distract people
from a more direct path to financial goals. Many math-based
examples allow you to get your hands on the ideas behind trading
present consumption for that planned in the future. With the latest
updates and learning tools, this edition prepares you for personal
financial success.
There is a growing realization among international relations
scholars and practitioners that religion is a critical factor in
global politics. The Iranian Revolution, the September 11 attacks,
the ethno-religious conflicts such as the ones in the former
Yugoslavia and Sri Lanka are among the many reasons for this
increased focus on religion in international affairs. The rise of
religious political parties across the world ranging from the
Christian Democrats in Europe to Bharatiya Janata Party in India
similarly illustrated religion's heightened international profile.
Despite all this attention, it is challenging to situate religion
within a discipline which has been dominantly secular from its
inception. Only a few existent works have ventured to integrate
religion into core international relations theories such as
Classical Realism, Neorealism, Neoliberalism, Constructivism and
the English school. This work is the first systematic attempt to
comparatively assess the place of religion in the aforementioned
theoretical strands of international relations with contemporary
examples from around the world. Written in an accessible and
systematic fashion, this book will be an important addition to the
fields of both religion and international relations. Nukhet A.

This comprehensive volume examines the nature, causes, and
consequences of state religion policy in 183 countries between 1990
and 2014. Each contribution uses round 3 of the Religion and State
dataset which includes information on 117 distinct state religion
policies. Secular and religious forces in society and government
compete in order to influence state religion policy in a vibrant
religious economy. While governments are more involved in religion
in 2014 than they were in 1990, most states both added and dropped
religion policies during this period. This is important because
these policies impact on a number of important political, social,
and economic phenomena. In this collection the authors examine the
impact of state religion policies on interstate militarized
disputes, violent domestic conflict, terrorism, and voting for
political parties. They also examine some of the factors that
influence state religion policy, including the attitudes of
citizens toward religion and religious minorities, free and open
elections, and having an independent judiciary. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the journal Religion,
State & Society.
This new book tackles two crucial questions: First, how does
religion in its various forms and manifestations influence world
politics? Second, how will adding religion to the discourse on
international relations modify our theoretical understanding? Each
of these leading authors addresses different aspects of these
questions in different contexts providing a diverse and
multifaceted view of the topic. Susanna Pearce and Tanja Ellingsen
examine the religious causes of conflict on the macro-level.
Several of the contributors focus on specific conflicts. The Gaurav
Ghose and Patrick James examine the Kashmir conflict from the
Pakistani perspective and Carolyn James and Ozgur. Ozdamar examine
it from the Indian perspective. Similarly Hillel Frisch examines
the Palestinian-ISraeli conflict from the Palestinian perspective
and Jonathan Rynhold examines it from the Israeli perspective.
Finally, two of the authors examine other important issues. Stuart
Cohen examines the evolution of the religious view of war in the
Jewish tradition and Yehudit Auerbach examines whether can play a
role in conflict resolution and reconciliation. These assessments
deliver fascinating conclusions. This book was previously published
as a Special Issue of Terrorism and Violence.

This fully revised edition offers a comprehensive overview of the
many theories of religion and politics and provides students with
an accessible, in-depth guide to the subject's most significant
debates, issues, and methodologies. It begins by asking the basic
questions of how social scientists see religion and why religion
remains relevant to politics in the modern era. Fox examines the
influence of religious identity, beliefs, institutions and
legitimacy on politics, and surveys important approaches and issues
found in the literature on religion and politics. Four new chapters
on religious policy around the world, political secularism, and
religious freedom and human rights have been added to fully revised
content covering religious identity, rational choice approaches to
religious politics worldviews, beliefs, doctrines, ideologies,
institutions and political mobilization, fundamentalism,
secularization, and religion and conflict. This work will be
essential reading for all students of religion and politics,
comparative politics, international relations, and security
studies.
First published in 1990. The distribution of rural power in
developing countries both shapes and is shaped by national
politics. Focusing on Latin America and the Philippines, this
volume addresses the question of why rural democratisation has
proven to be so difficult across a wide range of national
experiences.

"It's our thesis that privacy will be an integral part of the next
wave in the technology revolution and that innovators who are
emphasizing privacy as an integral part of the product life cycle
are on the right track." --The authors of The Privacy Engineer's
ManifestoThe Privacy Engineer's Manifesto: Getting from Policy to
Code to QA to Value is the first book of its kind, offering
industry-proven solutions that go beyond mere theory and adding
lucid perspectives on the challenges and opportunities raised with
the emerging "personal" information economy. The authors, a
uniquely skilled team of longtime industry experts, detail how you
can build privacy into products, processes, applications, and
systems. The book offers insight on translating the guiding light
of OECD Privacy Guidelines, the Fair Information Practice
Principles (FIPPs), Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP)
and Privacy by Design (PbD) into concrete concepts that
organizations, software/hardware engineers, and system
administrators/owners can understand and apply throughout the
product or process life cycle-regardless of development
methodology-from inception to retirement, including data deletion
and destruction. In addition to providing practical methods to
applying privacy engineering methodologies, the authors detail how
to prepare and organize an enterprise or organization to support
and manage products, process, systems, and applications that
require personal information. The authors also address how to think
about and assign value to the personal information assets being
protected. Finally, the team of experts offers thoughts about the
information revolution that has only just begun, and how we can
live in a world of sensors and trillions of data points without
losing our ethics or value(s)...and even have a little fun. The
Privacy Engineer's Manifesto is designed to serve multiple
stakeholders: Anyone who is involved in designing, developing,
deploying and reviewing products, processes, applications, and
systems that process personal information, including
software/hardware engineers, technical program and product
managers, support and sales engineers, system integrators, IT
professionals, lawyers, and information privacy and security
professionals. This book is a must-read for all practitioners in
the personal information economy. Privacy will be an integral part
of the next wave in the technology revolution; innovators who
emphasize privacy as an integral part of the product life cycle are
on the right track. Foreword by Dr. Eric Bonabeau, PhD, Chairman,
Icosystem, Inc. & Dean of Computational Sciences, Minerva
Schools at KGI.
This book is among the most thorough and comprehensive analysis of
the causes of religious discrimination to date, complete with
detailed illustrations and anecdotes. Jonathan Fox examines the
causes of government-based religious discrimination (GRD) against
771 minorities in 183 countries over the course of twenty-five
years, while offering possible reasons for why some minorities are
discriminated against more than others. Fox illustrates the
complexities inherent in the causes of GRD, which can emerge from
secular ideologies, religious monopolies, anti-cult policies,
security concerns and more. Western democracies tend to
discriminate more than Christian-majority countries in the
developing world, whether they are democratic or not. While the
causes of GRD are ubiquitous, they play out in vastly different
ways across world regions and religious traditions. This book
serves as a method for better understanding this particular form of
discrimination, so that we may have the tools to better combat it
and foster compassion across people of different religions and
cultures.
Religious discrimination is the norm in many countries around the
world, and the rate is rising. Nearly every country which
discriminates does so unequally, singling out some religious
minorities for more discrimination than others. Religious tradition
does not explain this complex issue. For example, Muslim majority
states include both the most discriminatory and tolerant states in
the world, as is also the case with Christian majority states.
Religious ideologies, nationalism, regime, culture, security
issues, and political issues are also all part of the answer. In
The Unfree Exercise of Religion Jonathan Fox examines how we
understand concepts like religious discrimination and religious
freedom, and why countries discriminate. He makes a study of
religious discrimination against 597 religious minorities in 177
countries between 1990 and 2008. While 29 types of discrimination
are discussed in this book, the most common include restrictions in
places of worship, proselytizing, and religious education.
