After a period in which positivistic and statistical approaches have been dominant new methods are being explored. Most of these focus on narrative cultural analysis embodiment and interdisciplinarity. Because of its specific object of study psychology of religion has never been without an hermeneutical emphasis. In this field of psychology scholarship these new directions are especially welcomed as they offer perspectives for research which attempts to interpret religion as a human phenomenon.This volume presents hermeneutical psychological studies on religion which rely on both classical and contemporary approaches. Dealing with topics like mysticism religious symbols life stories and mental health contributions to the volume draw on a variety of perspectives. These range from psychoanalysis narrative psychology and feminism to perspectives drawn deep from the wellspring of interdisciplinary collaboration with anthropology and history.</p> Brill hardcover

Hardback. New. The 2008 credit crisis started with the failure of one large bank: Lehman Brothers. Since then the focus of both politicians and regulators has been on stabilising the economy and preventing future financial instability. At this juncture we are at the last stage of future-proofing the financial sector by raising capital requirements and tightening financial regulation. Now the policy agenda needs to concentrate on transforming the banking sector into an engine for growth. Reviving competition in the banking sector after the state interventions of the past years is a key step in this process. This book introduces and explains a relatively new concept in competition measurement: the performance-conduct-structure PCS indicator. The key idea behind this measure is that a firm's efficiency is more highly rewarded in terms of market share and profit the stronger competitive pressure is. The book begins by explaining the financial market's fundamental obstacles to competition presenting a brief survey of the complex relationship between financial stability and competition. The theoretical contributions of Hay and Liu and Boone provide the theoretical underpinning for the PCS indicator while its application to banking and insurance illustrates its empirical qualities. Finally this book presents a systematic comparison between the results of this approach and all existing methods as applied to 46 countries over the same sample period. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the knowns and unknowns of financial sector competition for commercial and central bankers policy-makers supervisors and academics alike. hardcover

Hardback. New. <p> People employed at sites of precarious work such as call centres or retail warehouses often live precarious lives. Drawing on ethnographic research in a London hostel for precarious workers the book explores the political analytical and practical limitations of using traditional methods of trying to make sense of life in these settings. Traditional methods are rooted in practices that emerge from privileged social positions and their enactment is deeply entangled with the processes that create these conditions in the first place. This book responds to this by experimenting with ‘precarious methods’ to enable greater agency to those placed in these precarious situations.</p> hardcover

Hardback. New. This volume brings together nine papers from a conference on international macroeconomics sponsored by the NBER in 1985. International economists as well as graduate students in the fields of global monetary economics finance and macroeconomics will find this an outstanding contribution to current research. It includes two commentaries for each paper written by experts in the field and Frenkel's detailed introduction which serves as a reader's guide to the arguments made the models employed and the issues raised by each contributor. The studies analyze national fiscal policies within the context of the international economic order. Malcolm D. Knight and Paul R. Masson use an empirical model to show that fiscal changes in recent years in the United States West Germany and Japan have caused major disturbances in net savings and investment flows. Linda S. Kole uses a two-country simulation model to examine the effects of a large nation's expansion on exchange rates interest rates and the balance of payments. In other studies Warwick J. McKibbin and Jeffrey D. Sachs discuss the influences of different currency regimes on the international transmission of inflation; Kent P. Kimbrough analyzes the interaction between optimal tax policies and international trade; Sweder van Wijnbergen investigates the interrelation of fiscal policies trade intervention and world interest rates; and Willem H. Buiter uses an analytical model to look at fiscal interdependence and optimal policy design. David Backus Michael Devereux and Douglas Purvis develop a theoretical model to investigate effects of different fiscal policies in an open economy. Alan C. Stockman looks at the influence of policy anticipation in the private sector while Lawrence H. Summers shows the effects of differential tax policy on international competitiveness. hardcover
