Since at least the Great Financial Crisis, authorities around the
world have increasingly relied on macroprudential policy to help
secure financial stability and complement monetary policy as an
integral element of a broader macro-financial stability framework.
In today's interconnected global financial system, policy actions
taken by the major advanced economies can have spillovers on the
rest of the world through their impact on capital flows and
exchange rates, potentially generating vulnerabilities across
borders. Conversely, in emerging market economies, macroprudential
policy as well as foreign exchange intervention and/or capital flow
management policy can help mitigate the corresponding impact. This
can in turn generate spillbacks on advanced economies - spillbacks
that have become more sizeable as the emerging market economies'
heft in the world has grown. Yet little is known about these
interactions.The contents of this book are based on a conference
held on 26-28 May 2021 and jointly hosted by the Monetary Authority
of Singapore (MAS) and the Bank for International Settlements
(BIS). It aims to contribute to existing literature on
macro-financial policymaking by providing an overall conceptual
framework and documenting the latest global trends and country
experiences. In particular, it highlights the role of international
spillovers and spillbacks, paying particular attention to emerging
market economies. This book is essential reading for academics,
graduate students and economic professionals. It can also serve as
a handbook for policymakers at central banks, regulatory
authorities and other government agencies tasked with designing and
implementing macroprudential or more generally macro-financial
stability policies. The book will also be of interest to
researchers at international organisations.

speech and politics.
Romance was the preeminent narrative form through which medieval
Christendom imagined its encounter with the world. But in the early
modern period, religious war and commercial and colonial expansion
radically changed the terms of that encounter. This book traces the
process through which Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, and others
adapted, revised, or resisted romance, mapping a world of
increasingly uncertain allegiances and affiliations. Early modern
romance re-imagined the world, and in the process decisively
rearticulated the relations between "Christendom," "Islam," and
"Europe." By attending to genre, Robinson explores both the
conflicts that formed early modern identities and the power of
literary form to shape the world defined by those conflicts - a
power with effects that reach to our present moment.
This book presents the result of the MART study, an action funded
under the TIDE (Technology Initiative for Disabled and Elderly
People) programme of the EU. TIDE supports research and development
in assistive technology with the aim of contributing to the quality
of life of older people and people with disabilities and
encouraging European industry and markets. The book provides the
first complete assessment of the opportunities presented by the
Information Society for Older People and people with disabilities
in Europe, and of the factors in European telecommunications and in
social developments that are facilitating or inhibiting access to
these. It is being published at a time when these issues are
becoming increasingly considered in EU and national policy, in the
strategies of the telecommunications industry and in the concerns
of representative user organisations. As the MART study finished in
early 1996 and the European situation is changing rapidly, a
chapter has been added by the authors to take account of more
recent developments.
A warrior-monk is chosen for a final test, one that will propel him
into a series of life-threatening situations time and time again.
Along the way, the pacific martial artist develops some curious
friendships with a little gnome thief you love to hate, and a
stubborn old dwarf that has a way with words.At the same time, a
Herculean elf is searching for his roots and for the creature that
slaughtered his friends and family. His perilous quest will
unknowingly unite him with a beautiful half-elven druid and a host
of magical creatures that help guide him along his dangerous
journey. Inevitably, these two parties unite and join forces to
face a common threat - one that will unlock the past for the monk,
and unlock the secrets of the giant elf's origins.
The authors argue that the best strategic approach for a company or
organization is to regard customer loyalty as a continuing response
to changes in society and that this perspective is often neglected
in favour of shorter term considerations. They present a new
approach that builds upon social and economic research to provide
practical guidelines.
This book will cover the fundamental principles of measuring oceans from space, but will contain state-of-the-art developments in data analysis and interpretation and in sensors. Completely new will be material covering advances in oceanography that have grown out of remote sensing, including some of the global applications of the data. The variety of applications of remotely sensed data to ocean science has grown significantly and new areas of science are emerging to exploit the gobal datasets being recovered by satellites, particularly in relation to climate and climate change, basin-scale, air-sea interaction processes (e.g. El Niño) and the modelling, forecasting and prediction of the ocean.

This book explores the relationship between being and time -between
ontology and history- in the context of both Christian theology and
philosophical inquiry. Each chapter tests the limits of this
multifaceted thematic vis-a-vis a wide variety of sources: from
patristics (Maximus the Confessor, Gregory of Nyssa) to philosophy
(Kant, Kierkegaard, Heidegger) to modern theology (Berdyaev,
Ratzinger, Fagerberg, Zizioulas, Yannaras, Loudovikos); from
incarnation to eschatology; and from liturgy and ecclesiology to
political theology. Among other topics, time and eternity,
protology and eschatology, personhood and relation, and ontology
and responsibility within history form core areas of inquiry.
Between Being and Time facilitates an auspicious dialogue between
philosophy and theology and, within the latter, between Catholic
and Orthodox thought. It will be of considerable interest to
scholars of Christian theology and philosophy of religion.
William S. Robinson has for many years written insightfully about
the mind-body problem. In Understanding Phenomenal Consciousness he
focuses on sensory experience (e.g., pain, afterimages) and
perception qualities such as colours, sounds and odours to present
a dualistic view of the mind, called Qualitative Event Realism,
that goes against the dominant materialist views. This theory is
relevant to the development of a science of consciousness which is
now being pursued not only by philosophers but by researchers in
psychology and the brain sciences. This provocative book will
interest students and professionals who work in the philosophy of
mind and will also have cross-disciplinary appeal in cognitive
psychology and the brain sciences.
