Free Download Computational Global Macro: Game Theory, Machines Learning And Causal Inference
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9811293953 | 186 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB
Computational Global Macro offers investors a new paradigm for the analysis of geopolitical risk. By drawing on game theory, reinforcement learning, and causal inference, the book provides investors with a novel framework for analyzing the political and economic interactions between global actors. In doing so it presents a counterpoint to the often informal and speculative approach to geopolitical analysis that is prevalent in the research produced by investment firms. The book will thus serve as a valuable reference for investment professionals, students, and academics seeking to apply sophisticated quantitative tools to the development of their macro views.

Free Download Eduardo Tasis Moratinos, "A Transdisciplinary Study of Global Mobilities: Identities on the Move"
English | ISBN: 3031745388 | 2024 | 299 pages | EPUB, PDF | 10 MB + 7 MB
Identities on the Move interrogates the categories given and adopted by people on the move through a transdisciplinary and global approach that includes social and political sciences and the arts. It brings together experiences of displacement from a variety of cultural and national backgrounds, including Brazilians, Chinese, Koreans, South Italians, Africans, Muslims, Arabophobe migrants, Iranians, Pakistanis, Bosnians, Latin Americans and Eastern Europeans. It looks at their identity-negotiating processes in different geographies across the globe, namely Japan, UK, Palestine, Italy, Australia, Europe and North America. This multi-geographical and multi-disciplinary approach allows us to decentralise previous narratives of migration by reformulating them against coloniality and invisibility and presenting them within a richer and changing contemporary map of dynamic identities. The global scale of the case studies included in this volume also allows for a wider exploration of thematic concepts within the (trans)formation of displaced identities, such as assimilation versus alienation, memory and trauma, stigmatisation, enculturation, acculturation and deculturation. In a nutshell, this volume highlights current complexities of identity formation in a global scene that is moving away from homogenous nations by presenting a multi-layered and multi-spatial notion of belonging.

English | August 31, 2018 | ISBN: 1784717169 | True EPUB/PDF | 232 pages | 0.5/1.7 MB
Science has become a central political concern with massive increases in public investment, but resources are embedded in a complex web of expectations that vary between countries and regions. This book outlines an insightful understanding of science policy as both concerning the governance of science itself through priority-setting, funding, organization and articulation with polity, society and economy, and its extra-organizational connections in terms of higher education, innovation and national policy concerns.

Free Download Christopher E. Taylor, "The Global Legend of Prester John "
English | ISBN: 100950200X | 2025 | 75 pages | PDF | 5 MB
The Global Legend of Prester John delves into the enduring fascination with Prester John, an unreachable, collectively-imagined Christian priest-king who figured prominently in Europe’s entrance into an interconnected global world. This Element draws on "The International Prester John Project," an archive of Prester John narratives, from papal epistles to missionary diaries to Marvel comics, all of which respond to the Christian heterotopia promised in the twelfth-century Letter of Prester John. During the medieval and early modern periods, the desire to legitimize the letter’s contents influenced military tactics and papal policy while serving as a cultural touchstone for medieval maps, travel narratives, and romance tales. By providing an overview of distinct narrative paths the legend took along with an analysis of the themes of malleability and elasticity within and across these paths, this Element addresses how belief in Prester John persisted for six centuries despite a lack of evidence.

Free Download Global Harmony and the Rule of Law: Proceedings of the 24th World Congress of the International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy, Beijing, 2009, Volume I By Thomas Bustamante
2012 | 133 Pages | ISBN: 3515100814 | PDF | 1 MB
The volume comprises a selection of papers delivered at the 24th IVR World Congress. All papers address the challenge of the construction of a Global Ethics in the context of fragmented and pluralist societies, in which the idea of an Ethical Space seems to be an unachievable project, but also an indispensable device for cooperation between individuals, communities and states. The idea of a Global Ethics is to be constructed from within different traditions and environments with a mutual understanding and exchange of opinions. In this volume, we combine the ideas of Harmony (typical of the traditional Chinese legal philosophy) and of the Rule of Law (as it is understood in Western societies) to new ideals. By acknowledging the potential that these ideals have on a global scale, the papers of the first section, Ethical Dimensions of the Rule of Law address some of the key ethical problems in today’s world. In a second section, some of the leading legal philosophers in China propose a way to incorporate the values of Harmony and of the Rule of Law into the Chinese Law and Society.
