Michael Bommes (1954-2010) was one the most brilliant and original scholars of migration studies in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This posthumously published collection brings together a selection of his most important essays on immigration, transnationalism, irregular migration, and migrant networks. "In Bommes, the academy lost a scholar with penetrating analyses of migration, the welfare state and social systems where the two interact. By completing his last project, Boswell and D'Amato have done scholarship a lasting service. A major contribution to public debate and a tribute to a very great man."--Randall Hansen, University of Toronto, Michael Bommes (19542010) was one the most brilliant and original scholars of migration studies in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

The approach of this book, with its focus on friction as a conceptual tool, advances the peacebuilding research agenda and adds to two ongoing debates in the peacebuilding field; the debate on hybridity, and the debate on local agency and local ownership.This ground breaking new work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations, international relations theory and postcolonial studies., This work brings together critical theorists, artists, and poets using time and temporality as the conceptual framework for investigating a diverse array of experiences and structures of oppression and exploitation in International Relations, focusing on the tensions produced by histories of slavery and colonization, disrupting dominant modes of understanding our present times.This book was originally published as a special issue of "Learning, Media and Technology."A detailed, expert-driven guide to today's major financial point of interest The xVA Challenge: Counterparty Credit Risk, Funding, Collateral, and Capital is a practical guide from one of the leading and most influential credit practitioners, Jon Gregory.The book examines the impact on development of what we call the power-balance legitimisation.More than just a tech industry fad, Bitcoin has threatened to decentralize some of society s most basic institutions.An unusual tale of group invention, Digital Goldcharts the rise of the Bitcoin technology through the eyes of the movement s colorful central characters, including an Argentinian millionaire, a Chinese entrepreneur, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Bitcoin s elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.Several authors examine potential policy and institutional solutions afforded by globalization to the challenges ahead, particularly the role of trade policy.Drawing on case studies from the UK, North America, Europe, the Far East and beyond, the book concludes with a look forward over the next twenty years, offering a powerful forecast for the evolution of the global sports market.It details the key changes-in health and medicine, technology and communication, the global economy, the earth's climate, energy, and business-that every person, company, and government must understand in order to not only adapt accordingly but thrive in the coming decades.The book frames its discussion of the law in practice with a theoretical account of Indigenous claims, rights and remedies and the relationship between legal and political processes of dispute resolution.Key subjects include: the possibility of criminalising reckless risk-taking on the financial markets; the duty of banks to prevent money-laundering and corruption; the growth of the Shadow Banking System; and the manipulation of LIBOR by banks.However, by confining my choices to a hundred years of the South African state, I have chosen firm bookends for the collection.Now in its nineteenth year of operation the Arctic Council, an innovative international organization, is going through a period of new growth and challenges.
