This book analyzes recent developments and likely future paths for
trade and financial integration in East Asia. It suggests a more
coherent, balanced way forward for regional economic integration
and analyses implications for institution building in East Asia.
East Asia has achieved a high degree of intra-regional trade,
investment and GDP correlation, through an expanding web of free
trade agreements and production networks. However, financially,
most regional economies are linked more closely to North America
and Europe than to each other. As trade integration has
accelerated, financial and monetary integration has not kept pace.
East Asian Economic Integration analyzes potential reasons and
remedies for this phenomenon through a multidisciplinary framework
of law, politics and economics. This comprehensive book will appeal
to researchers and students in political science, international
relations, trade law, international finance law, and regional
studies generally. It will also be of great interest to regional
policy makers. Contributors include: H. Gao, P. Lejot, C.L. Lim, B.
Mercurio, M. Mushkat, R. Mushkat, J. Nakagawa, C.-Y. Park, I. Sohn,
L. Toohey, N. Vu, T.H. Yen
China has become such an important element of the global economy
that its influence cannot be ignored in almost any field of
endeavour. The phenomenal impact of FDI in China and its (largely
trade-related) consequences has been well documented and now there
is a significant literature on the phenomenon of outward investment
from China too. This book is an in depth study of the international
business relationships of China covering both inward and outward
foreign direct investment, its impact and related theoretical and
policy issues. This volume of highly renowned author Peter
Buckley's collected papers from 2005-8 continues his interest in
the theory of international business (Section I) and policies
towards foreign direct investment (FDI) (Section IV) but has a
major concentration on China, both as regards outward foreign
direct investment (OFDI) from China (Section II) and FDI in China
(Section III).

This book focuses on the study of international business and more
specifically the question of whether the international business
research agenda is running out of steam. After laying down this
challenge, Buckley presents three theoretical developments, which
point to ways forward for the agenda. He includes empirical
evidence on the strategy of the multinational enterprise and on
foreign direct investment and the world economy.

This book explores 4 key issues in the world economy: the changing
context of international business, the continuing pace of economic
integration, international joint ventures and knowledge management.
More specifically the book explores how each of the issues affects
the strategies of multinational enterprises (MNEs). The book takes
into account the moral basis of global capitalism, made all the
more important after the events of 11 September 2001. Peter Buckley
is a world renowned expert in the field of international Business.

The book takes into account the moral basis of global capitalism, made all the more important after the events of September 11th, 2001.
This seminal book has revolutionised the field of international
business. Presenting the core theory of the multinational
enterprise based on the internalisation of imperfect markets and
the minimisation of location costs, The Future of Multinational
Enterprise has inspired both theoretical and empirical research on
the global economy. In addition it has influenced company strategy
and economic policy at local, national, regional and international
levels. Its insights into company strategy and global policy remain
compelling.
The papers in this volume cover three major areas of International
Business: Developments in Theory, The Foreign Market Servicing
Strategies of Multinational Firms and Asia-Pacific Issues. The
theory section examines the internationalisation process, the role
of management in international business theory, approaches to
Japanese foreign direct investment and the contrast between the
approach taken to international business by internalisation
theorists and that of international strategic management. The
choices between exporting, foreign licensing of technology and
direct investment abroad are examined in Part II. The foreign
market servicing decisions are examined both at the level of the
firm and in aggregate at the level of an economy (the UK). The
impact of these decisions on competitiveness is evaluated and the
role of international joint ventures is examined for the case of
the UK. The final section examines current issues in the
Asia-Pacific economies. The impact of the Single European Market on
Pacific Futures and Government-Business relations (Japan versus UK)
are the focus of attention and the taxation implications of joint
ventures in China are examined in detail.

In this comprehensive, accessible work, Ross P. Buckley, Douglas W.
Arner, and Dirk A. Zetzsche offer an ideal reference for anyone
seeking to understand the technological transformation of finance
and the role of regulation: the world of FinTech. They consider
FinTech technologies including artificial intelligence, blockchain,
BigData, cloud computing, cryptocurrencies, central bank digital
currencies, and distributed ledger technology, and provide a unique
perspective on FinTech as an interactive system involving finance,
technology, law, and regulation. Starting with an evolutionary
perspective, the authors then consider the major technologies
transforming finance, arguing for approaches to balance the risks
and challenges of innovation. They address the central role of
infrastructure in digital financial transformation, highlighting
lessons from China, India, and the EU, as well as the impact of
pandemics and other sustainability crises, while considering the
risks generated by FinTech. They conclude by offering
forward-looking regulatory strategies to address the challenges
facing our world today.

A distillation column is both multivariable and nonlinear - and it
consumes immense quantities of energy. Yet, despite the desigh
challenges it presents, it is still the most popular unit operation
for refining in industrial plants today. Much has been published on
the subject of distillation column design, but much remains to be
explained. That is why this book is unique. In a departure from the
more traditional empirical and theoretical approaches, it
introduced the reader to the practical realm, by presenting
quantitative design techniques that have been demonstrated to be
useful and valid over the course of hundreds of actual
applications.
The book is divided into three main parts. Part I, an
introduction, presents an industrial perspective of control
objectives. It discusses briefly the relationship between column
design features and column controllability. It thus provides a
short refresher course for chemical engineers and background for
those trained in other branches of engineering. Part II, Concepts
and Configurations, discusses column overhead and base
arrangements, typical control schemes, and some hardware
considerations. Part III is dedicated to quantitative design.
Mathematical models are presented for pressure and differential
pressure controls, liquid level control, and composition control of
binary distillation.
Emphasis on topics of primary interest to the control
engineer
Essentially nonmathematical treatment
Ideal for those involved in troubleshooting existing columns as
well to design engineers

The current global financial system may not withstand the next
global financial crisis. In order to promote the resilience and
stability of our global financial system against future shocks and
crises, a fundamental reconceptualisation of financial regulation
is necessary. This reconceptualisation must begin with a deep
understanding of how today's financial markets, regulatory
initiatives and laws operate and interact at the global level. This
book undertakes a comprehensive analysis of such diverse areas as
regulation of financial stability, modes of supply of financial
services, market infrastructure, fractional reserve banking, modes
of production of global regulatory standards and the pressing need
to reform financial sector ethics and culture. Based on this
analysis, Reconceptualising Global Finance and its Regulation
proposes realistic reform initiatives, which will be of primary
interest to regulatory and banking legal practitioners, policy
makers, scholars, research students and think tanks.

Debt-for-development exchanges are an important financing tool for
development. They make debt relief more politically and practically
attractive to donor countries, and serve the development of
recipient countries through the cancellation of external debt and
the funding of important development projects. This book commences
by chronicling the emergence of debt-for-development exchanges from
their forebears, debt-equity exchanges, and analyzes why debt for
development suffers from very few of the problems that plagued debt
equity. The book analyzes the different types of
debt-for-development exchanges and the different ways they have
been used by all donor nations that have made use of them. The book
then explores a range of critical perspectives on exchanges and
concludes by considering a wide range of new and innovative uses
for the funds generated by exchanges.
