 The World of States 2nd Edition English | 2021 | ISBN: 1108832938 | 281 Pages | PDF | 2 MB Without nation-states Covid-19, climate change, international cyberattacks, and other threats would go unchecked. In The World of States, John L. Campbell and John A. Hall challenge the view that nation-states have lost their relevance in the context of globalization and rising nationalism. The book traces how states evolved historically, how contemporary states differ from one another, and the interactions between them. States today confront a host of challenges, but two features make some states more effective than others: institutional arrangement and national identity. The second edition has been updated to discuss why the BRICS countries (with the exception of China) are no longer the rising powers they were once thought to be; the effects of Brexit on the European Union; the legacy of the Trump administration for US politics and hegemony; and how the coronavirus may upset the world of states going forward.
 The Value of Money: Controversial Economic Cultures in Europe: Italy and Germany by Matteo Scotto, thomas Mayer, francesco Papadia, christiane Liermann Traniello, jean-claude Trichet English | March 10th, 2021 | ISBN: 3969664802 | 291 pages | True EPUB | 3.58 MB Thanks to the collaboration with renowned economists and policymakers, the publication compares Italian and German macro-economic cultures and performances. When the Bretton Woods system crumbled and currencies lost their direct link to the dollar and their indirect link to gold, these two countries embarked upon strongly different monetary policies. This divergence was reflected in the evolution of the exchange rates: the value of one D-Mark increased from 170 Italian lira under Bretton Woods to 990 Italian lira at the start of European Monetary Union: an astounding devaluation of about 85 per cent for the lira!

The Synergy Solution: How Companies Win the Mergers and Acquisitions Game English | 2022 | ISBN: 1647820421 | 410 Pages | EPUB | 7 MB Few actions can change the value of a company-and its competitive future-as quickly and dramatically as an acquisition.

Sandrine Sorlin, "The Stylistics of 'You': Second-Person Pronoun and its Pragmatic Effects" English | ISBN: 1108833020 | 2022 | 280 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book takes 'you', the reader, on board an interdisciplinary journey across genre, time and medium with the second-person pronoun. It offers a model of the various pragmatic functions and effects of 'you' according to different variables and linguistic parameters, cutting across a wide range of genres (ads, political slogans, tweets, news presentation, literary genres etc.), and bringing together print and digital texts under the same theoretical banner. Drawing on recent research into intersubjectivity in neuropsychology and socio-cognition, it delves into the relational and ethical processing at work in the reading of a second-person pronoun narrative. When 'you' takes on its more traditional deictic function of address, the author-reader channel can be opened in different ways, which is explored in examples taken from Fielding, Brontë, Orwell, Kincaid, Grimsley, Royle, Adichie, Bartlett, Auster, and even Spacey's 'creepy' 2018 YouTube video, ultimately foregrounding continuities and contrasts in the positioning of the audience.
