The monetary system is at a turning point. The question is no longer if, but how soon countries will roll out a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). This book discusses the recomposition of the money supply from the present bank money regime to a monetary system determined by CBDC. As the book sets out, the future of money is going to be digital and sovereign. Nonetheless, the relationship between the various types of money is competitive rather than being the peaceful coexistence that was officially envisaged. CBDC competes with the incumbent bank money as well as with private cryptocurrencies that are challenging both central-bank money as well as bank money. For technological and political reasons, bank money will not be able to emulate the superior properties of sovereign digital tokens. Uncovered and unwarranted cryptocurrencies, too, will not stand the competition in the long run. The shifts in the monetary system are changing the role of central banks in the interplay of monetary, fiscal and private-creditary functions and open up improved options for monetary policy. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and policymakers in monetary and financial economics, and digital currencies.

In the era of globalization and liberalization, the world is enjoying high growth as well as suffering from the ill-effects of unequal distribution of its economic outcomes. The activities of anti-government demonstrations in China and across the world via the Occupy Wall Street Movement highlight that inequality has become an international phenomenon. It is apparent in both poor countries under authoritarianism and rich countries governed by a democratic regime. Thus, inequality has become not only a hurdle to development but also a threat to social and political stability. The spread of the Jasmine Revolution across parts of North Africa and the Arab Spring are illustrative of what can happen under certain circumstances. This book confirms the inconsistencies between high growth and increasing inequality via a series of case studies across 11 countries, numerous regions, and OECD members. Many of the case studies draw upon original household surveys. Our findings indicate the seriousness of income inequality, explore factors that have caused the inequality and analyze their economic and social consequences. The book raises, and deals with, three key questions: (1) Can high growth reduce inequality gradually? (2) Can government intervention be effective in equalizing income distribution? (3) Is the income disparity an engine for, or an obstacle of, high growth? Contents:Globalization, Liberalization, Growth and Income Inequality:Growth and Inequality in ChinaGrowth and Inequality in Hong KongGrowth and Inequality in the United StatesGrowth and Inequality in IndiaGrowth and Inequality in GermanyGrowth and Inequality in KoreaGrowth and Inequality in the UKGrowth and Inequality in IndonesiaGrowth and Inequality in ThailandGrowth and Inequality in SingaporeGrowth and Inequality in JapanFactor and Policy Analysis on Income Inequality:Informal Employment and Income DisparityEducational Disparity and Income DisparityHousing Inequality and Underlying Factors in Urban ChinaAgriculture Profitability and Income DisparityLabor Migration and Income InequalityIncome Inequality, Labor Migration and the Lewis Tuning PointTrade-offs and Complementarities Between Growth and Inequality in OECD Countries Readership: Researchers, students, government officers and general readers interested in income distribution studies. Keywords:Income Distribution;Globalization and Liberation;Unequal Distribution;Income Disparity;Emerging EconomiesKey Features:Income disparity is a hot topic in the 21st century. This book reflects the latest developments of economic growth and income disparity with case studies of 11 countries. It reveals how serious is the inequality, where inequality comes from and how to deal with these issuesThe book contains basic theories and analysis and methodologies for the subject of income distribution which helps readers to have a better understanding about growth and inequality and learn how to analyze the issuesThe empirical researchers conducted in the book are based on original household surveys and the latest public data. It displays a real picture of the countries with reliable dataThe authors are leading experts of the field and are from countries like China, India, Korea, Japan, the UK, the USA and Germany. They elaborate on the economic growth and income disparity in depth. Meanwhile, the emerging economies like China and India are main targets in the bookReviews: “Is rapid economic growth compatible with acceptably low income inequality? Is inequality good or bad for growth? Is growth good or bad for inequality? This book presents eleven country studies and several chapters on specific relationships between growth and inequality. It therefore provides a wealth of information that will help to answer these questions of great and growing importance in today's world.“ Professor John Knight The University of Oxford “China's economic growth and structural change in the reform era and its acceleration in the early twenty first century are reshaping the global economy. Perceptions of whether the fruits of growth have been distributed equitably will determine whether growth retains its priority. This interesting and important book sheds new light on these big questions. Some of the new insights are surprising.“ Professor Ross Garnaut Vice-Chancellor's Fellow “This book shows that income disparity is a result of economic and social development and that increasing inequality may lead to social and political instability. This, in turn, is likely to affect the economic development process. This is particularly the case in China where increasing income disparity is pushing the country to the tipping point that may affect China's modernization process.“ Professor Li Shi Beijing Normal University “This book provides a useful assessment of growth and inequality in a rapidly changing world. Several chapters focus on the growing concerns with rising inequality, the cause and effect of such inequality, and its relation to overall growth and poverty reduction. This book will assist the international development community in understanding inequality in today's world as well as providing a useful pedagogical tool for policy makers and other researchers.“ Shaohua Chen Senior Statistician The Development Economics Research Group of the World Bank

At War with Women reveals how post-9/11 politics of gender and development have transformed US military power. In the mid-2000s, the US military used development as a weapon as it revived counterinsurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan. The military assembled all-female teams to reach households and wage war through development projects in the battle for "hearts and minds." Despite women technically being banned from ground combat units, the all-female teams were drawn into combat nonetheless. Based on ethnographic fieldwork observing military trainings, this book challenges liberal feminist narratives that justified the Afghanistan War in the name of women's rights and celebrated women's integration into combat as a victory for gender equality. Jennifer Greenburg critically interrogates a new imperial feminism and its central role in securing US hegemony. Women's incorporation into combat through emotional labor has reinforced gender stereotypes, with counterinsurgency framing female soldiers as global ambassadors for women's rights. This book provides an analysis of US imperialism that keeps the present in tension with the past, clarifying where colonial ideologies of race, gender, and sexuality have resurfaced and how they are changing today.

Communication research is evolving and changing in a world of online journals, open-access, and new ways of obtaining data and conducting experiments via the Internet. Although there are generic encyclopedias describing basic social science research methodologies in general, until now there has been no comprehensive A-to-Z reference work exploring methods specific to communication and media studies. Our entries, authored by key figures in the field, focus on special considerations when applied specifically to communication research, accompanied by engaging examples from the literature of communication, journalism, and media studies. Entries cover every step of the research process, from the creative development of research topics and questions to literature reviews, selection of best methods (whether quantitative, qualitative, or mixed) for analyzing research results and publishing research findings, whether in traditional media or via new media outlets. In addition to expected entries covering the basics of theories and methods traditionally used in communication research, other entries discuss important trends influencing the future of that research, including contemporary practical issues students will face in communication professions, the influences of globalization on research, use of new recording technologies in fieldwork, and the challenges and opportunities related to studying online multi-media environments. Email, texting, cellphone video, and blogging are shown not only as topics of research but also as means of collecting and analyzing data. Still other entries delve into considerations of accountability, copyright, confidentiality, data ownership and security, privacy, and other aspects of conducting an ethical research program. Features: 652 signed entries are contained in an authoritative work spanning four volumes available in choice of electronic or print formats. Although organized A-to-Z, front matter includes a Reader’s Guide grouping entries thematically to help students interested in a specific aspect of communication research to more easily locate directly related entries. Back matter includes a Chronology of the development of the field of communication research; a Resource Guide to classic books, journals, and associations; a Glossary introducing the terminology of the field; and a detailed Index. Entries conclude with References/Further Readings and Cross-References to related entries to guide students further in their research journeys. The Index, Reader’s Guide themes, and Cross-References combine to provide robust search-and-browse in the e-version.
