From the Privileged to the Professionals
This book is concerned with the early years of the Football Association Challenge Cup – more commonly known as the FA Cup – examining events from its inception in 1871–2 to the beginning of the Football League in 1888–9. The work is underpinned by the figurational sociology of Norbert Elias, employing his ideas around the European 'civilising process', power and lengthening chains of human interdependency. Most of all, the majority of the text has been compiled using primary source material, such as newspaper reports and the minutes of the Football Association, which encourages original and unique additions to the body of knowledge. There exist no comparable offerings on the time per...

Fostering the Development of Greenfield Mining-Related Transport Infrastructure Through Project Financing
The new PPIAF-IFC technical guidebook, Fostering the Development of Greenfield Mining-Related Transport Infrastructure, focuses on Greenfield transport infrastructure (rail and port) used to support mining operations through public-private partnership schemes. The publication covers financing issues and provides recommendation for governments and private-sector participants, specifically in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa and similar regions.
The Political Economy of China’s Infrastructure Development in Africa
This book sheds light on structural drivers that led to the Chinese omnipresence in African infrastructure markets and offers a strategic-relational approach to the study of African agency in Sino-African infrastructure encounters. Case studies cover the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA), Zambia’s road sector as well as Tanzania’s Bagamoyo port and Standard Gauge Railway. It is shown that African (state) agency in the infrastructure sector is contingent upon dynamic state-society relations and distinct political-economic contexts and constraints. The book problematises contradictions related to infrastructure debt, the emergence of Sino-African public-private partnerships and the intensifying geopolitics-cum-geoeconomics of infrastructure across Africa.
Infrastructure Development and Public–Private Partnership
This is the first book that analyzes public–private partnership (PPP) infrastructure development in developing countries by focusing on recent developments in the Philippines. Infrastructure is extremely important for economic development and poverty reduction. However, given the infrastructure gap and pressures on public expenditure, there is a growing expectation that PPP will fill this gap globally. Over the years, PPP as a mechanism for financing and procuring infrastructure has been the basis of an active and provocative debate in the Philippines, which is known to have inadequate infrastructure—twice in the 2010s, when a significant policy shift on the financing source of public in...
Build
"Calling for a reimagining of how the United States manages its infrastructure, Build takes readers on a revealing tour behind the scenes of the successes and debacles of key projects-from roads, bridges, and ports to water systems and airports-to show what works, why we've failed in recent decades to invest in infrastructure, and why the private sector can help the United States once again lead in infrastructure development. In a series of colorful, rarely told cases, economist and infrastructure investor Sadek Wahba walks the reader through the little-known processes-including the ins-and-outs of infrastructure management, ownership and regulation-that define American infrastructure. He ex...
