This comprehensive Handbook provides an insight into the main concepts and academic debates on taxation from a political science perspective. Providing a background to current debates on green taxation, taxation and inequality, taxation and gender, tax evasion and avoidance, and tax compliance, it offers potential avenues for future research.
This book explains why insecurity has become such a ubiquitous feature of life in the 21st century and why policymakers, strategic analysts and many scholars are failing to recognise or address its underlying causes.
Irgendetwas geht an Lukas Schule nicht mit richtigen Dingen zu. Und das zu einem denkbar ungünstigen Zeitpunkt. Nicht nur, dass seine kleine Schwester Linda ihm noch mehr auf die Nerven geht als sonst, seit beide die gleiche Schule besuchen. Lukas kämpft um die Stelle des Stellvertretenden Chefredakteurs der Schulzeitung und es scheint beinahe aussichtslos. Merkwürdige Maschinen, die im Abstellraum der Schule stehen, Mitschüler, die Katzenfutter essen, sein Mathelehrer Herr Stretmanni ist auch nicht mehr derselbe... Und was ist eigentlich mit seiner Katze Eezbeez los? Bald findet sich Lukas in einer Welt aus Rache, einer neuen Technologie und an Orten wieder, die es eigentlich gar nicht gibt. Dabei muss er zu ungewöhnlichen Mitteln greifen, einige Regeln brechen und lernt neue Seiten seiner Freunde und seiner Schwester kennen.

Combating Fiscal Fraud and Empowering Regulators analyzes the impact of new international tax regulations on the scope and scale of tax evasion, tax avoidance, and money laundering. These are analyzed through an ecosystem framework in which, similar to a natural ecosystem, new tax regulations appear as heavy shocks to the tax ecosystem, to which the 'species' such as countries, corporations, and tax experts will react by looking for new loopholes and niches of survival...
As the European Union moved in the 1990s to a unified market and stronger common institutions, most observers assumed that the changes would reduce corruption. Aspects of the stronger EU promised to preclude—or at least reduce—malfeasance: regulatory harmonization, freer trade, and privatization of publicly owned enterprises. Market efficiencies would render corrupt practices more visible and less common. In The Best System Money Can Buy, Carolyn M. Warner systematically and often entertainingly gives the lie to these assumptions and provides a framework for understanding the persistence of corruption in the Western states of the EU. In compelling case studies, she shows that under certa...

Sophie wird durch einen Unfall mit der Zeitmaschine ihres Großvaters 200 Jahre zurück in die Vergangenheit versetzt. Durch eine Verwechslung und mehrere Zufälle wird sie, mehr oder weniger freiwillig, zur Kaiserin der damaligen Reiche ausgerufen. So muss sie den Platz der vor kurzem spurlos verschwundenen und ermordeten Kaiserin einnehmen und wird zur neuen Zielscheibe des Ordens des schwarzen Greifs. Welcher im Schatten ihrer neuen Heimat nach uneingeschränkter Macht dürstet und nichts scheint ihn aufhalten zu können...
Just Security in an Undergoverned World examines how humankind can manage global problems to achieve both security and justice in an age of antithesis. Global connectivity is increasing, visibly and invisibly-in trade, finance, culture, and information-helping to spur economic growth, technological advance, and greater understanding and freedom, but global disconnects are growing as well. Ubiquitous electronics rely on high-value minerals scraped from the earth by miners kept poor by corruption and war. People abandon burning states for the often indifferent welcome of wealthier lands whose people, in turn, draw into themselves. Humanity's very success, underwritten in large part by lighting...
"The Global Financial Crisis and the following period of 'secular stagnation' have raised questions about the state of modern economics and macroeconomics in particular. This has had repercussions for social sciences that deal with economic issues. In particular in the fields of International Political Economy (IPE) and Comparative Political Economy (CPE) there is rising interest in non-mainstream macroeconomic theories (Blyth and Matthijs 2017, Baccaro and Pontussen 2016). In CPE there is a recognition that the field has in the past decades increasingly shifted to institutional and microeconomic questions and disregarded Keynesian considerations of macroeconomic instability and problems of fallacies of composition (Schwartz and Tranoy 2019). The purpose of this chapter is to give an overview of post-Keynesian economics (PKE) as a non-mainstream macroeconomic theory"--
