Management of Political Risks
Political risks are on the rise. The recent past has been characterized by a dominance of geopolitical risks, which have the potential to endanger companies, entire sectors, and even national economies. Furthermore, the expanding regulatory framework, growing national debt, and other factors contribute to the escalation of political risks. The book offers a comprehensive and proven approach to identify and manage such risks. In addition to avoiding and mitigating risks, there is an opportunity to cultivate competitive advantages in navigating these challenges. Throughout the book, three fictional companies—a chemical corporation, an electricity producer, and a commodity trader—accompany the reader and demonstrate how the provided tools can be applied in practical scenarios.
Cohomological and Geometric Approaches to Rationality Problems
Rationality problems link algebra to geometry, and the difficulties involved depend on the transcendence degree of $K$ over $k$, or geometrically, on the dimension of the variety. A major success in 19th century algebraic geometry was a complete solution of the rationality problem in dimensions one and two over algebraically closed ground fields of characteristic zero. Such advances has led to many interdisciplinary applications to algebraic geometry. This comprehensive book consists of surveys of research papers by leading specialists in the field and gives indications for future research in rationality problems. Topics discussed include the rationality of quotient spaces, cohomological invariants of quasi-simple Lie type groups, rationality of the moduli space of curves, and rational points on algebraic varieties. This volume is intended for researchers, mathematicians, and graduate students interested in algebraic geometry, and specifically in rationality problems. Contributors: F. Bogomolov; T. Petrov; Y. Tschinkel; Ch. Böhning; G. Catanese; I. Cheltsov; J. Park; N. Hoffmann; S. J. Hu; M. C. Kang; L. Katzarkov; Y. Prokhorov; A. Pukhlikov
Nonviolent Political Economy
Nonviolent Political Economy offers a set of theoretical solutions and practical guidelines to build an economy of nonviolence which implies a social state of peacefulness, involving minimal violence and minimal destruction of nature. The book provides renewed reflections on heterodox economics, ecological economics, anthropology, Buddhism, Gandhianism, disarmament, and business ethics, as well as innovative initiatives such as Blue Frontiers. It also sets out feasible solutions to rebuild countries that have suffered prolonged conflicts such as Syria, Iraq and Kurdistan. Bringing together authors from around the world, this collection includes new perspectives on the abolition of profit; di...
Das Räderwerk der Freiheit
Immer mehr erweist sich der Staat als unfähig, die Probleme, zu deren Lösung er angeblich angetreten ist, annähernd in den Griff zu bekommen – sei es die Fürsorge für die Armen, die innere und äußere Sicherheit, Bildung, Rechtsprechung oder medizinische Versorgung. Stattdessen greift er immer schwerwiegender in die individuellen Rechte seiner Bürger ein, immer mehr werden sie enteignet, bevormundet und überwacht. Immer mehr Menschen erkennen dies, dennoch setzen die meisten weiterhin auf staatliche Lösungen – denn ganz ohne Staat geht es ja nun mal nicht, oder? David D. Friedman hat in „The Machinery of Freedom“ im Jahre 1973 gezeigt, wie es gehen kann: Immer orientiert an der praktischen Umsetzbarkeit, geht er auch schwierige Fragen wie den Aufbau einer nichtstaatlichen Gerichtsbarkeit und Landesverteidigung an und zeigt überraschende Lösungen auf. Friedmans Klassiker wurde damit zum Kult für die Bewegung der Anarchokapitalisten. Das Buch wurde 2014 für die dritte Auflage von Friedman überarbeitet und ergänzt. Diese aktualisierte Fassung liegt dieser zweiten deutschen Übersetzung zugrunde.

The Gradient Discretisation Method
This monograph presents the Gradient Discretisation Method (GDM), which is a unified convergence analysis framework for numerical methods for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. The results obtained by the GDM cover both stationary and transient models; error estimates are provided for linear (and some non-linear) equations, and convergence is established for a wide range of fully non-linear models (e.g. Leray–Lions equations and degenerate parabolic equations such as the Stefan or Richards models). The GDM applies to a diverse range of methods, both classical (conforming, non-conforming, mixed finite elements, discontinuous Galerkin) and modern (mimetic finite differenc...
Seasteads
Seasteads – artificial settlements on the open sea – represent a near-future chance for multiple societal restarts. Where nation states suffer from ineffectiveness and inefficiency, both politically and economically, and cannot be changed due to path-dependency and rigidity, the open sea is a clean slate. Here, we can test new ways of doing things differently. This book discusses the opportunities and challenges of seasteads. Its focus is on socio-philosophical, political, economic, and legal aspects of founding new small societies of pro-active and productive individuals and groups. An explorative exercise, this book presents paradigmatic ideas and suggestions for partial aspects of seasteads.
Complex fluids
This book presents a comprehensive overview of the modeling of complex fluids, including many common substances, such as toothpaste, hair gel, mayonnaise, liquid foam, cement and blood, which cannot be described by Navier-Stokes equations. It also offers an up-to-date mathematical and numerical analysis of the corresponding equations, as well as several practical numerical algorithms and software solutions for the approximation of the solutions. It discusses industrial (molten plastics, forming process), geophysical (mud flows, volcanic lava, glaciers and snow avalanches), and biological (blood flows, tissues) modeling applications. This book is a valuable resource for undergraduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, mechanical engineering and physics.
