Why Nations Fail:The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty
James A. Robinson and Daron Acemoglu,A provocative bestseller that explains why the world is divided into nations with wildly differing levels of prosperity. Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace.

Legal Tech and the New Sharing Economy
Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci, Nikolaus Forgó, Toshiyuki Kono, Shinto Teramoto, Erik P. M. Vermeulen,The exponential growth of disruptive technology is changing our world. The development of cloud computing, big data, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and other related autonomous systems, such as self-driving vehicles, have triggered the emergence of new products and services. These significant technological breakthroughs have opened the door to new economic models such as the sharing and platform-based economy. As a result, companies are becoming increasingly data- and algorithm-driven, coming to be more like “decentralized platforms”. New transaction or payment methods such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, based on trust-building systems using Blockchain, smart contracts, and other distributed ledger technology, also constitute an essential part of this new economic model.

Comparative Administrative Law: With Special Reference to the Organisation and Legal, Position of the Administrative Authorities in British India
Nagendranath Ghose (Author),Excerpt from Comparative Administrative Law: With Special Reference to the Organisation and Legal, Position of the Administrative Authorities in British India The text of these lectures had been completed before May 1918. Since then, several events of capital importance from the point ofview of students of comparative politics, and of Indian students in particular, have taken place. They are, first, the publication of the Montague Chelmsford Report on Indian Constitutional Reform, references to which will be found in numerous footnotes throughout the book (wide Index, under heading, montague-chelmsford scheme of constitutional reform for India). Secondly, the termination of the War involving (as it has done) (i) the destruction (amongst others) of the German and Prussian govern ments, to a consideration of which a great deal of space had necessarily to be devoted, and which cannot be ignored even now or hereafter in any historic study of comparative politics such as the present lectures profess to be; and (ii) the nearly world-wide upheaval of Labour which the author sincerely hopes will yet, under judicious guidance, suffer itself to be reconciled and regulated. As to the former, the author believes that, as in the case of other historic polities, the constitutional changes in Germany, revolutionary as they now appear to be, will fail imme diately to make any deep impression upon the methods of administra tion - which he expects will remain for many years yet organically one with that which prevailed in the Hohenzollern regime. It may in any case be safely assumed that the new forms of administration which may be expected to arrive in Germany and elsewhere are not likely to take shape within the next decade.

China Today, China Tomorrow: Domestic Politics, Economy, and Society
Joseph Fewsmith (Editor),In this timely book, a group of leading scholars provides a comprehensive assessment of China's polity, economy, and society. Taking the thirtieth anniversary of Beijing's adoption of reform and opening as an occasion to reflect on the course of development over the past three decades, the contributors consider where the country may be going in the future. Just as China has had enormous success in developing its economy, it continues to face equally enormous challenges across a wide variety of issues, including inequality, social protest, energy, the environment, and a resurgence of religion. As a polity, China has tried to build a modern legal system while balancing center-local relations, sustaining a viable ideological framework, and maintaining stable politics at the elite level. At the same time, the current global economic crisis poses a major obstacle to China's model of development. Authoritative, accessible, and current, this book will be an invaluable resource for all readers interested in the fate of a rising global power.
