The fixed income and foreign exchange (FX) markets have never been
as challenging to operate in as they are today. The post-crash
combination of reduced liquidity, higher operating costs, low
interest rates, flat yield curves and increased regulation means
that market makers and investors alike need to work harder to
generate value and remain in full understanding of the markets.
Random Walks in Fixed Income and Foreign Exchange brings together
the best of detailed and original practitioner-orientated market
research on many specialist areas of the bond and FX markets.
Written by the highly regarded FX and bonds research desk at
Commerzbank, the book offers varied and in-depth insight into
specific topics of vital important to dealers and investors,
including the cross-currency basis and hedging, the yield curve,
and overseas issuance conversion factors which will give investors
a genuine edge in generating value. Written in accessible text, it
is a must-read for all those interested in bonds and FX.
This book examines the ways in which the views of the public
inhabit the counter-terrorism policy space, with a focus on the UK
case. Drawing insights from Critical Terrorism Studies, Critical
Security Studies and studies of public opinion, the book develops
an argument that the relationship between public opinion is
complex, iterative and mutually instantiating. Rather than public
opinion and counter-terrorism policy existing in a simple,
uni-directional causal relationship, the book argues that whilst
counter-terrorism policy actors are informed by public opinion, in
important ways they also construct that very opinion. This argument
is made through an empirical analysis of UK counter-terrorism
policy. Drawing on primary research interviews with key
counter-terrorism policy actors, and security professionals, as
well as original analysis of parliamentary debates, the book
demonstrates that rather than UK counter- terrorism politics being
closed and elite-driven, there exists a complex, dialectical
relationship between public opinion and both the making and the
implementing of counter-terrorism policy. This book will be of much
interest to students of critical terrorism studies,
counter-terrorism, security studies, British politics and
communication studies.

This volume examines the rationale, effectiveness and consequences
of counter terrorism practices from a range of perspectives and
cases. The book critically interrogates contemporary
counter-terrorism powers from military campaigns and repression
through to the prosecution of terrorist suspects, counter-terrorism
policing, counter-radicalisation programmes, and the proscription
of terrorist organisations. Drawing on a range of timely and
important case studies from around the world including the UK, Sri
Lanka, Spain, Canada, Australia and the USA, its chapters explore
the impacts of counter-terrorism on individuals, communities, and
political processes. The book focuses on three questions of vital
importance to any assessment of counter-terrorism. First, what do
counter-terrorism strategies seek to achieve? Second, what are the
consequences of different counter-terrorism campaigns, and how are
these measured? And, third, how and why do changes to
counter-terrorism occur? This volume will be of much interest to
students of counter-terrorism, critical terrorism studies,
criminology, security studies and IR in general.
Disruptions in supply chains and consumption patterns triggered by
the pandemic together with stimulus packages and the energy crisis
have catapulted inflation rates to levels last seen in the 1970s.
For inflation markets, it’s hard to understate this sudden and
enormous change in fortunes. Understanding the future evolution of
consumer prices has become crucial for investors across all asset
classes as central banks tailor their policy responses with a view
to anchoring inflation expectations. Inflation-Linked Bonds and
Derivatives condenses more than 15 years of dedicated coverage of
inflation markets. It provides investors, issuers and policy makers
with all the relevant tools to navigate inflation markets, starting
with the nuts and bolts of consumer price indices, forwards, carry
and trading strategies, to advanced topics like seasonality
adjustments and the use of inflation options. With its many
illustrative graphs and tabulated data, this exceptional book will
benefit traders, corporate treasury departments, fixed income
investors, insurance companies and pension funds executives.

This book explores how different publics make sense of and evaluate
anti-terrorism powers within the UK, and the implications of this
for citizenship and security. Drawing on primary empirical
research, the book argues that whilst white individuals are not
unconcerned about the effects of anti-terrorism, ethnic minority
citizens (including, but not only those identifying as Muslim)
believe that anti-terrorism powers have impacted negatively on
their citizenship and security. This book thus offers the first
systematic engagement with 'vernacular' or 'everyday'
understandings of anti-terrorism policy, citizenship and security.
It argues that while transformations in anti-terrorism frameworks
impact on public experiences of security and citizenship, they do
not do so in a uniform, homogeneous, or predictable manner. At the
same time, public understandings and expectations of security and
citizenship themselves shape how developments in anti-terrorism
frameworks are discussed. -- .
