Finance Theory And Asset Pricing
Authors: Milne Frank 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Finance Theory and Asset Pricing provides a concise guide to financial asset pricing theory for economists. Assuming a basic knowledge of graduate microeconomic theory, it explores the fundamental ideas that underlie competitive financial asset pricing models with symmetric information. Using finite dimensional techniques, this book avoids sophisticated mathematics and exploits economic theory to clarify the essential structure of recent research in asset pricing. In particular, it explores arbitrage pricing models with and without diversification, Martingale pricing methods and representative agent pricing models; discusses these ideas in two-date and multi-date models; and provides a range of examples from the literature. This second edition includes a new section dealing with more advanced multi-period models. In particular it considers discrete factor structure models that mimic recent continuous time models of interest rates, money, and nominal rates and exchange rates. Additional sections sketch extensions to real options and transaction costs.
Gender and the Labour Market among Immigrants in Some Italian Areas: The Case of Moroccans, Former Yugoslavians, and Poles
Authors: Strozza Salvatore , Gallo Gerardo , Grillo Francesca 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In recent years, interest in female migration (United Nations 1994, 1995) and in its economic consequences (Makinwa and Afolayan 1995; Vicarelli 1992, 1994b) has increased. This is a new issue, since traditional research on international migrations focused only on male migration (Schoeni 1998; Tapinos 1995), due to lack of data (Lim 1995; Lodigiani 1994; UN Secretariat 1995; Vicarelli 1992; Zlotnick 1995) and because it was assumed that women migrated mainly for family reunification reasons, and it was thought that female migration would not affect economies. Foreign women were not considered as part of the economic system in receiving countries, due to the limited number of immigrant women and the fewer possibilities for their participation in the regular labour market (UN Secretariat 1995).
Fifteenth-Century English Dream Visions
Authors: Boffey Julia 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This anthology provides new editions of five fifteenth-century English poems framed as dreams, and demonstrates the energy with which this influential medieval form was explored by post-Chaucerian writers. Lydgate’s Temple of Glass, a complex love vision, generates a counsel of a wide-ranging kind; The Kingis Quair of James I of Scotland and Love’s Renewal from the English poems of Charles of Orleans manipulate autobiographical detail to philosophical and political ends; the anonymous Assembly of Ladies foregrounds women’s voices; finally, Skelton’s Bowge of Court adapts the love vision to the purposes of a satire on court life. The editions are in lightly modernized spelling and accompanied by glosses, explanatory notes, and textual commentary. Each text has its own introduction and recommendations for further reading, and a general introduction discusses the significance of the dream form, its importance for Middle English writers, and the extraordinary variety of directions in which it was developed by fifteenth-century poets.
Toward Gender Justice
Authors: Stoltenberg John 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
I want to begin by describing certain features of the patriarchal society in which we live, certain features I will call the heterosexual model. In this model, men are the arbiters of human identity. From the time they are boys, men are programmed by the culture to refer exclusively to other men for validation of their self-worth. A man’s comfort and well-being are contingent upon the labor and nurture of women, but his identity—his ‘knowledge of who he is’ —can only be conferred and confirmed by other men.
Holy Virility: The Social Construction of Masculinity
Authors: Reynaud Emmanuel 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Old ideas die hard; in spite of our increasingly precise understanding of the mechanisms of oppression, the division of humanity into men and women is still generally presented as natural. The fact that throughout history ‘nature’ has always been invoked to justify the power of one group over another has not, for most people, cast any doubt over the validity of the division of humankind into sexes. People who assert that the mother’s presence is essential to a child’s development during the first eighteen months, or that childbearing is woman’s greatest fulfillment, are disguising what is cultural by claiming that it is natural. The same attitude is found in people who argue that it was natural for black people to be slaves on the cotton plantations as the pigmentation of their skin protected them from the sun’s rays. When physical characteristics like black people’s skin pigmentation or women’s aptitude for pregnancy are used as arguments to subject the former to cultivating cotton and the latter to rearing children, then it is no longer a question of nature but, quite simply, of oppression.
Toward a New Sociology of Masculinity
Authors: Carrigan Tim , Connell Bob , Lee John 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the forty pages that precede the excerpt included here, the authors provide a close, thoughtful, and provocative analysis of ‘the upheaval in sexual politics of the last twenty years [that] has mainly been discussed as a change in the social position of women’. Examining the impact of the Women’s Liberation Movement, the Men’s Liberation Movement, and Gay Liberation politics, the authors call into question the conventional understanding of what it is to be a man’ by interrogating the assumptions and assertions of these varied perspectives.
Racial Warriors and Weekend Warriors:The Construction of Masculinity in Mythopoetic and White Supremacist Discourse
Authors: Ferber Abby L 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In both academic and mainstream circles, the idea that masculinity, especially white masculinity, is in crisis is widespread. […] Because men benefit most from traditional definitions and proscriptions of gender, they are less likely to initiate change. Instead, women’s inroads into the workplace, increased political and economic autonomy, and questioning of male domination have historically been perceived as threats to male privilege. Since the 1960s and the second wave of the women’s movement, many males have responded with fear, anger, and feelings of loss. […] Many white males feel under attack by movements for both gender and racial equality.
Vernacular Bodies
Authors: Fissell Mary E 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Making babies was a mysterious process in early modern England. Mary Fissell employs a wealth of popular sources - ballads, jokes, witchcraft pamphlets, prayerbooks, popular medical manuals - to produce the first account of women's reproductive bodies in early-modern cheap print. Since little was certain about the mysteries of reproduction, the topic lent itself to a rich array of theories. The insides of women's reproductive bodies provided a kind of open interpretive space, a place where many different models of reproductive processes might be plausible. These models were profoundly shaped by cultural concerns; they afforded many ways to discuss and make sense of social, political, and economic changes such as the Protestant Reformation and the Civil War. They gave ordinary people ways of thinking about the changing relations between men and women that characterized these larger social shifts. Fissell offers a new way to think about the history of the body by focusing on women's bodies, showing how ideas about conception, pregnancy, and childbirth were also ways of talking about gender relations and thus all relations of power. Where other histories of the body have focused on learned texts and male bodies, Vernacular Bodies looks at the small books and pamphlets that ordinary people read and listened to - and provides new ways to understand how such people experienced political conflicts and social change.
The Law Of Marine Insurance

Presenting a revised structure with the practitioner in mind, this new edition includes a new chapter on interpretation and rectification of insurance contracts.
The Human Right to Water
Authors: Mccaffrey Stephen C 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
No one disputes that humans should have a right to water of sufficient quantity and quality to sustain life. Oddly, however, there is no explicit recognition of such a right in the basic human rights instruments. Pressure on the world ‘s freshwater resources continues to grow and governments are increasingly forced to find ways to increase the efficiency of water supply systems. These phenomena have led to an increasing recognition of a human right to water, most recently by the UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. But the precise contours of the right, and of the corresponding obligations of governments, are still coming into focus.1 This chapter will review the support for a human right to water and explore some of the issues the right raises with regard to current conditions.2
Transparency, Public Participation, and Amicus Curiae in Water Disputes
Authors: Mbengue Makane Moise , Tignino Mara 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Public participation confers a new standing to the rights and duties of individuals in international law.1 It challenges established boundaries and concepts of law by cutting across distinctions and dichotomies, such as national versus in ternational law, private versus public law, and private versus public interests.2 Public participation itself reflects the increased concern of international law with issues once thought to be part of a state ‘s domaine reserve, such as public participation, transparency, legal procedure, public administration, secrecy, and the very notion of democracy itself-that is, issues the regulation of which usually is considered to be one of the essential attributes of state sovereignty.
Health and Inequality, or, Why Justice is Good for Our Health
Authors: Daniels Norman , Kennedy Bruce , Awachi Ichiro K 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We have known for over 150 years that an individual ‘s chances of life and death are patterned according to social class: the more affiuent and better educated people are, the longer and healthier their lives (Villerme 1840; cited in Link et al. 1998). These patterns persist even when there is universal access to health care—a finding quite surprising to those who think financial access to medical services is the primary determinant of health status. In fact, recent cross-national evidence suggests that the greater the degree of socio-economic inequality that exists within a society, the steeper the gradient of health inequality. As a result, middle-income groups in a more unequal society will have worse health than comparable or even poorer groups in a society with greater equality. Of course, we cannot infer causation from correlation, but there are plausible hypotheses about pathways which link social inequalities to health, and, even if more work remains to be done to clarify the exact mechanisms, it is not unreasonable to talk here about the social ‘determinants ‘ of health (Marmot 1999).
The Spirit of ’68
Authors: Horn Gerd-Rainer 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In virtually all corners of the Western world, 1968 witnessed a highly unusual sequence of popular rebellions. In Italy, France, Spain, Vietnam, the United States, West Germany, Czechoslovakia, Mexico, and elsewhere, millions of individuals took matters into their own hands to counter imperialism, capitalism, autocracy, bureaucracy, and all forms of hierarchical thinking. Recent reinterpretations have sought to play down any real challenge to the socio-political status quo in these events, but Gerd-Rainer Horn's book offers a spirited counterblast. 1968, he argues, opened up the possibility that economic and political elites on both sides of the Iron Curtain could be toppled from their position of unnatural superiority to make way for a new society where everyday people could, for the first time, become masters of their own destiny. Furthermore, Horn contends, the moment of crisis and opportunity culminating in 1968 must be seen as part of a larger period of experimentation and revolt. The ten years between 1956 and 1966, characterised above all by the flourishing of iconoclastic cultural rebellions, can be regarded as a preparatory period which set the stage for the non-conformist cum political revolts of the subsequent 'red' decade (1966-1976). Horn's geographic centres of attention are Western Europe, including the first full examination of Mediterranean revolts, and North America. He placed particular emphasis on cultural nonconformity, the student movement, working class rebellions, the changing contours of the Left, and the meaning of participatory democracy. His book will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in this turbulent period and the fundamental changes that were wrought upon societies either side of the Atlantic.
The Two Irelands
Authors: Jackson Alvin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
If the years between 1914 and 1945 were a ‘dark interlude’ for the Irish, then the quality of this occlusion differed from much of the rest of Europe. If the master narrative of European history embodies a story of continental prosperity and expansion, interrupted by the two world wars, then Ireland’s ‘stories’ for the period have been differently shaped. Historicist accounts of Ireland’s struggle for liberation from the British (by, for example, Mary Hayden) stretch from the twelfth century to a triumphant denouement with the nation’s independence in 1921, in the midst of the European eclipse. For those Irish historians writing in the relatively tranquil and prosperous conditions of the early and mid-1960s (such as J. C. Beckett), the constitutional arrangements of 1920– 2 (independence for the majority of the island, devolution within the United Kingdom for the largely Protestant and Unionist North-East) looked like the harbinger, not of a sectarian cataclysm, but rather of one of the most politically settled periods in the island’s history.
Creation, Migration, and Conquest
Authors: Michelet Fabienne L 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Creation, Migration, and Conquest: Imaginary Geography and Sense of Space in Old English Literature explores the Anglo-Saxons' spatial imaginaire; tracing its political, literary, and intellectual backgrounds and analysing how this imaginaire shapes perceptions and representations of geographical space. The book elaborates new interpretative paradigms, drawing on the work of continental scholars and literary critics, and on complementing interdisciplinary scholarship of medieval imaginary spaces and their representations. It gathers evidence from both Old English verse and historico-geographical documents, and focuses on the juncture between traditional scientific learning and the symbolic values attributed to space and orientation. Combining close reading with an original theoretical model, Creation, Migration, and Conquest offers innovative interpretations of celebrated texts and highlights the links between place, identity, and collective identity.
Insolvency In Private International Law
Authors: Fletcher Ian F 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This supplement to the second edition of Insolvency in Private International Law covers the key developments in case law and legislation in the subject up to October 2006, and is an essential purchase for all who have already bought the main work. It includes the full text of the Cross-Border Insolvency Regulations 2006, along with commentary on the regulations. The supplement also includes the text of Council Regulation 694/2006, amending EC Regulation 1346/2000 on insolvency proceedings, and references to key developments in case law, including Eurofood IFSC Ltd, Daisytek ISA, and Cambridge Gas Transport Corp v Official Committe of Unsecured Creditors of Navigator Holdings plc. The commentary on case developments links back to the relevant paragraph in the main work. The main work deals with the problems generated by those cases of insolvency (either of an individual or of a company) where the presence of contacts with more than one system of law brings into operation the principles and methods of private international law (also known as conflict of laws). Part I of the main work is mainly devoted to an examination of the body of rules and practice that has evolved in England during the course of the past two-and-a-half centuries, and surveys the current state of the law derived from a blend of statutory and case authorities. Contrasting approaches under a selection of foreign systems - principally Australia, Canada, France and the USA - are examined by way of comparison. There are up to date accounts of the circumstances under which insolvency proceedings can be opened in respect of debtors which are not primarily based in England, and of the grounds on which English courts will recognise foreign insolvency proceedings and give assistance to the foreign representative of the debtor's estate. Part II of the main work explores the progress towards the creation of international arrangements to co-ordinate and rationalise the conduct of insolvency proceedings which have cross-border features, particularly where the debtor is capable of being subjected to concurrent proceedings in two or more jurisdictions. Central to the developments described in detail in this Part are the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings, in force throughout the UK since May 2002, and the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, which was due for enactment in the UK. The main work of the second edition and the supplement are also available as a set (ISBN 9780199214952: £160)
Freedom of Religion, Minorities, and The Law
Authors: Knights Samantha 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Over the past fifty years, England has experienced considerable immigration, and as a result, the population has become increasingly religiously and culturally diverse. This plurality has inevitably raised fundamental questions about the individual and group rights and equality and non-discrimination on the one hand, with tolerance and social cohesion on the other. At a practical level the debates range from the issue of wearing religious clothing in schools to demands for the establishment of additional faith schools, through to requests for employment leave to perform religious rites. Underpinning the debate is the issue of how the political and legal system should view diversity, and how it should balance the competing interests of the individual or group against those of state or wider society, employer or educational establishment. The demands of religious groups and individuals have for some time been articulated in the public sphere and in the courts. However, the introduction of greater protection for religious minorities in English Law, including the Human Rights Act 1998, the EC Equality Directives, and the Equality Act 2006 have provided important milestones in this area. This book briefly covers the historical background to issues of religious freedom in England, and analyses the position of religion in the constitution and with regard to the legal framework including the state’s obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights. It then deals in more detail with specific areas of legal practice including education, employment, immigration, and public law, examining key case law and analysing current problems. The book combines detailed analysis with a clear assessment of the practical and procedural issues which practitioners face.
The Human Development Model of Democracy: East Asia in Perspective
Authors: Welzel Christian , Inglehart Ronald 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter describes theory and evidence of a model that considers the emergence, existence, and flourishing of democracies as the institutional reflection of a broader process of human development. At various points, we highlight the applicability of this model to societies in East Asia. Amartya Sen (1999) introduced the term human development. Its basic idea—the enhancement of human agency—was revised by Welzel (2002) in an attempt to give it a more explicit focus on human values and democracy.
Political Trust, Political Performance, and Support for Democracy
Authors: Wang Zhengxu , Russell J. Dalton , Shin Doh Chull 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
While most of our analyses reported in this volume focus on broad value orientations related to democratization and marketization in East Asia, the sentiments are also linked to citizen orientations toward the current political regime and its performance. Political culture theory argues that a regime’s perceived legitimacy is a key factor in promoting political stability, and presumably adherence to the norms of the regime (Almond and Verba 1963; Diamond 1999; Gilley 2006). In new democracies, a high level of political trust facilitates the consolidation process, while a lack of trust may contribute to political instability or a return to authoritarianism. In an authoritarian regime, an accurate measurement of the public’s trust in government provides an indication of how strongly the regime is holding its grip among the public.
