Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

FinTech transformations have brought changes to the global financial markets and merit the attention of financial regulators across jurisdictions. This book is one of the first ones of its kind to look at open banking (OB). It examines regulatory approaches to OB by taking a broad view of comparative legal systems and through perspectives of transaction costs public choice and institutional design. The book looks at the legal implications by engaging in a two-tiered comparative analysis: comparing between compulsory and voluntary approaches to OB policies and comparing the legal systems between the West (i. e. the EU and the UK) and an Asian economy (i. e. Taiwan). | Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

Married to Melanesia

Married to Melanesia

‘We were married after three years at opposite ends of the world…. We then too rapidly for comfort made off in a snowstorm for the South Seas…. All this we imprudently did in our late forties. ’ Thus Muriel Jones introduces her account originally published in 1974 of how she came to start her married life in the Solomon Islands ‘whose impact was traumatic perhaps just because we were not in our first youth or innocent of other tropical experience’. ‘St Peter’s College was the only thing at Siota’; there was no store and the only post office on the island ‘was so difficult of access that I never visited it … we ourselves did most of the postal business – quite informally – at our end of the island’. It is not surprising that even high-ranking visitors tended to arrive looking like ship-wrecked sailors. ‘If one was ill enough to see a doctor one was on the whole too ill to be subjected to several hours of sun or rain in an open boat and a probable night en route. ’ There is too the account of the old lady whose family on her death wanted to bury her in a coffin instead of the customary mat. ‘Poor old lady; at the end of all these exertions the coffin with her in it stood in the church for the funeral uneasily supported on two rickety small tables from our sitting room mutely exhorting us to STOW AWAY FROM BOILERS. ’ Muriel Jones tells the unusual story of her five Melanesian years of the impact of Christianity on a pagan people of her husband’s college and its move to another island of the students the islands and their animals and exotic vegetation of the islanders (nine-tenths of whom live in communities ranging from twenty to two hundred people) and of their changing way of life. Her story takes one about as far as it is possible to go from an urban civilisation and in telling it she reveals the resources of her own character. | Married to Melanesia

Western Muslims and Conflicts Abroad Conflict Spillovers to Diasporas

Western Muslims and Conflicts Abroad Conflict Spillovers to Diasporas

This book explains why reactive conflict spillovers (political violence in response to conflicts abroad) occur in some migrant-background communities in the West. Based on survey data statistical datasets more than sixty interviews with Muslim community leaders and activists ethnographic research in London and Detroit and open-source data this book develops a theoretical explanation for how both differences in government policies and features of migrant-background communities interact to influence the nature of foreign-policy focused activism in migrant communities. Utilizing rigorous mixed-methods case study analysis the author comparatively analyses the reactions of the Pakistani community in London and the Arab Muslim community in Detroit to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq during the decade following 9/11. Both communities are politically mobilized and active. However while London has experienced reactive conflict spillover Detroit has remained largely peaceful. The key findings show that with regards to activism in response to foreign policy events Western Muslim communities primarily politically mobilize on the basis of their ethnic divisions. Nevertheless one notable exception is the Arab-Israeli conflict which is viewed through the Islamic lenses; and the common Islamic identity is important in driving mobilization domestically in response to Islamophobia and counterterrorism policies and practices perceived to be discriminatory. Certain organizational arrangements involving minority community leaders law enforcement and government officials help to effectively contain excitable youth who may otherwise engage in deviant behavior. Overall the following factors contribute to the creation of an environment where reactive conflict spillover is more likely to occur: policies allowing immigration of violent radicals poor economic integration without extensive civil society inter-group ties the presence of radical groups and connections with radical networks abroad. | Western Muslims and Conflicts Abroad Conflict Spillovers to Diasporas

Scientific Method How Science Works Fails to Work and Pretends to Work

This book shows how science works fails to work or pretends to work by looking at examples from such diverse fields as physics biomedicine psychology and economics. Social science affects our lives every day through the predictions of experts and the rules and regulations they devise. Sciences like economics sociology and health are subject to more ‘operating limitations’ than classical fields like physics or chemistry or biology. Yet their methods and results must also be judged according to the same scientific standards. Every literate citizen should understand these standards and be able to tell the difference between good science and bad. Scientific Method enables readers to develop a critical informed view of scientific practice by discussing concrete examples of how real scientists have approached the problems of their fields. It is ideal for students and professionals trying to make sense of the role of science in society and of the meaning value and limitations of scientific methodology in the social sciences. | Scientific Method How Science Works Fails to Work and Pretends to Work
