Active Labor Market as an Instrument to Reduce Unemployment
In order to have an impact on the labor market, welfare states must implement active labor market policies (ALMPs). The effectiveness of ALMPs has only been the subject of a few numbers of studies, the majority of which only take into account the short-term effects of ALMPs and use aggregate data. We examine the impact of public spending on female and male unemployment rates by disaggregating data on unemployment for nine OECD countries and focusing on long-term effects of ALMPs, primarily to determine whether there is evidence of causation between the variables. Based on the bootstrap panel Granger causality test, the estimates account for cross-sectional dependence, slope heterogeneity, and structural breaks. Although the causality direction varies by country, our study demonstrates that ALMPs are helpful at lowering unemployment. It's interesting to notice that these policies appear to have the most positive effects for women. Policymakers must provide appropriate support for ALMPs in order to effectively lower unemployment.

Analysis and Evaluation of Public Social Housing
The book explores current characteristics of the urban built environment in view of possible future transformations. A cross-reading analysis of existing public social housing buildings is proposed, based on the investigation of their architectural, structural, and energetic characteristics. The study aims to provide an integrated approach that captures the link between typology, construction, and energy demands, offering a key to understanding the main critical issues and transformation readiness. It focuses on large-scale interventions composing public social housing stocks, realized during the second half of the twentieth century. More than other public interventions, such building stocks clearly lack in meeting current housing needs such as modern apartment architectural layout, energy and structural regulations, and social mix. However, due to their numerical presence, strategical and widespread distribution across urban areas, and transformability, these buildings can bethe target for future strategic regeneration projects. In particular, the book thoroughly investigates the social housing estate constructed in Rome (Italy) after the approval in 1964 of the first urban economic and social housing plan.
Inclusive Development Through Guaranteed Employment
This book examines the inclusive development experiences and impacts of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). It discusses the theoretical assumptions underlying the inclusive development of Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS), and draws conclusions based on robust data and real-world experiences with the MGNREGS - which has attracted global attention as India's most ambitious, rights-based development initiative and most expansive work-based social security measure, the world's largest public works programme, and people-centric approach to development. The book argues that the Scheme holds vast potential, and, in fact, has made significant contribution to the promotion of livelihoods of the poorest of the poor, but that the weak institutions of local-self-governance, entrusted for implementation of the Scheme, are incapable of exploiting them to the full. It ends with a concrete policy suggestion: the inclusive development experiences gathered with theEGS and presented here could offer a source of policy change in many developing Afro-Asian countries whose situations are similar to India's, provided the local conditions in the respective country are taken into consideration when designing the EGS. Its significance as a social security measure has increased in post-COVID loss of jobs and livelihoods of the poor.

Power and Politics in the Global South
In the complex landscape of global affairs, power and politics play a central role in shaping the destinies of nations. As students of comparative politics, it is essential to comprehend the intricate dynamics of power and politics to navigate through the complexities of the global South. This subchapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of power and politics, shedding light on their interplay and impact on societies.To begin with, power can be defined as the ability to influence others and bring about desired outcomes. In the political realm, power is often concentrated in the hands of governing bodies or individuals. However, power can also be distributed across various actors, such as interest groups, social movements, or even ordinary citizens. Understanding the different sources and forms of power is crucial to comprehend how decisions are made and policies are implemented in any society.Politics, on the other hand, refers to the processes through which power is acquired, exercised, and contested. It encompasses the activities and strategies employed by individuals, groups, and institutions to gain and maintain power. Politics goes beyond the formal structures of government; it encompasses the broader social, economic, and cultural contexts that shape power dynamics. By studying politics, students can unravel the mechanisms through which power is wielded and its implications for governance and policy-making.To analyze power and politics in the global South, a comparative approach is essential. Comparing different countries and regions allows us to discern similarities and differences in power structures, political systems, and policy outcomes. Through case studies and empirical evidence, students can explore how historical legacies, socio-economic factors, and cultural dimensions influence power and politics in diverse contexts.Moreover, understanding power and politics in the global South necessitates an examination of power relations between states and the international system. The dynamics of power in the global arena are shaped by geopolitical interests, economic dependencies, and historical imbalances. Students must grasp these power dynamics to comprehend how countries in the global South navigate the complex web of international relations.

The East Asian Negotiator
While many (East) Asians are becoming more confident in their own culture and ways of doing things, at the same time, they are open to the melding of east-west ways. Because of this form of cultural hybridization, it is useful to include the authors' multidisciplinary area studies training which decodes some of the cultural symbols and contextual language used in Asian negotiations. They do so keenly with globalization's impact in mind. Due to globalization, western styles of negotiations have constantly engaged closely with negotiations styles in Asia (including East Asia) and the cross-pollination of ideas between the two have resulted in hybridized negotiations styles in the contemporary setting.Distilled practitioner knowledge will be combined with literature review and theoretical readings to share with readers the intricacies as well as theoretician's conceptualizations of East Asian negotiation styles. The book is written from the sub-discipline of cross-cultural negotiating styles, adopting some sociological/anthropological perspectives, anecdotes and concepts to discuss this subject matter.This volume hopes to fill in the gap between theoretical and applied knowledge through the use of theoretical concepts that readers from the West and other English-language textbook readers are familiar with, while supplementing the concepts with practitioner-oriented case studies drawn from actual experiences. This prevents the publication from becoming a theory-heavy text.

Investments in Pop-Up Stores
This book focuses on two key challenges: the negative impact on property value and higher vacancy risk for pop-up shops. It suggests alternative rental models based on footfall and customer conversion rates and provides a strategic framework for real estate investors to develop and manage pop-up stores. The empirical study emphasizes the importance of data availability, market fundamentals, and the potential of the operator model for managing pop-up retail spaces.The retail real estate market in Switzerland comprises about 13.0% of total commercial areas. The growth of e-commerce, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is causing significant changes in brick-and-mortar retail. Real estate owners are facing higher vacancy rates, shorter rental terms, and lower rental prices. However, e-commerce has limitations that prevent it from fully replacing physical stores. Retailers are now seeking flexible and innovative spaces like pop-up stores. In Switzerland, pop-up stores are mostly used as marketing tools or to fill vacancies, rather than as a sustainable business model, due to their negative impact on property market value.This textbook has been recommended and developed for universitary courses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
