Conscious that trust deficit is a principal concern in East Asia,
the book attempts to suggest ways to enhance confidence in certain
key areas such as disputes in East and South China Seas, maritime
CBMs, impact of economic interdependence on security, and issues

This book brings together articles by international political
economists on Keynesian economics and its legacy. The book begins
with Don Patinkin's assessment of Keynes' early life and focuses
attention on Keynes' contribution to monetary economics. Among the
many controversies surrounding "The general theory", Axel
Leijonhufvud takes the view that the Keynesian revolution began and
stayed on the wrong track.;Leland Yeager refutes the idea that
Keynesian economics was responsible for the general prosperity in
the indusrialized world immediately after the Second World War.
Although Karl Brunner is not fundamentally against Keynes'
methodological approach, he is critical of his reliance on fiscal
rather than monetary policy. Whereas Terence Hutchison defends
Keynes, both against his critics but also against Keynesians, and
argues that Keynes would not have shared their interpretation of
his work on fundamental grounds. Patrick Minford traces the roots
of neoclassical economics, based on the concept of rational
expectations, back to "the general theory". In the final chapter,
Stephen Littlechild offers an alternative to Keynesian economics by
focusing attention on the Austrian school.
This book is the first to take an in-depth examination of
marginalisation and events. Marginalisation has been the subject of
academic research for some time now. For example, marginalisation
and exclusion have been identified as problematic in fields as
diverse as geography, public health, education and media studies.
However, little research has been carried out within the field of
event studies. Using of a range of different theoretical and
methodological approaches from a variety of disciplines, the volume
applies a critical approach to events as they relate to
marginalisation that seeks to address the 'how' and 'why', and to
provide a holistic picture of their place and influence in the
lives of marginalised individuals and communities. International
through authorship and examples, it encompasses case studies from
around the world, including South Africa, the United Kingdom,
Italy, Afghanistan, the United States, Brazil, Portugal, Australia
and New Zealand. This is essential reading for students and
researchers in the fields of critical event studies, anthropology,
cultural studies, tourism, sociology and management.
