"Citizenship has become one of the most important political ideas of out time. It is an idea that at once recognises the individual's entitlement to rights and the collective responsibilities on which stable governance rests. In this overview of the subject Keith Faulks explores citizenship's historical and conceptual origins, its contemporary dilemmas and its emancipatory potential for the future."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Shaping the Future of Global Leadership

Finding a Peaceful Solution

Leaders have come and gone, but few can be considered exemplary. War, destruction, and political corruption run rampant in the world. A wake-up call is needed to tackle the increasing polarization among nations from various unresolved conflicts. Leaders with sound morals and character must rise. In Shaping the Future of Global Leadership, author Dr. Salar A. Khan explores how to develop the mindset of a leader and train and select these people to create a more peaceful and just world. He reviews failures of the current leadership system and presents ideas for creating a new, independent global leadership organization (IGLO) that will generate standards for best practices and accountability for any wrongdoing among leaders. Khan demonstrates how this organization creates a system by which global leaders must undergo a thorough mental evaluation, personality and values development, and basic knowledge before engaging in the election process. In addition, he proposes a screening tool identifying global leaders with the highest chance of functioning well in making high-level decisions that impact the course of nations. Shaping the Future of Global Leadership demonstrates that by identifying and training the right leaders, we can work together to make the world a better place to live, one in which society is more harmonized and regulated.

Leaders must have cultural and geopolitical awareness to lead and understand other viewpoints and avoid conflicts that could lead to war. Leadership initiatives define ... I worry about the next generation. I don't want them to look at ...

La rivoluzione digitale nel sistema bancario: strategie e casi di successo nel mondo

Il problema cruciale delle odierne banche commerciali è che non catturano efficacemente i ricavi attraverso i dispositivi mobili, il web, i tablet e altri canali, come fanno invece quasi tutti gli altri settori. Se vogliono sopravvivere, le banche devono aggiornarsi radicalmente. A quelle che si sentono incerte sul futuro e a quelle impegnate a cambiare, questo libro fornisce una mappa per orientarsi, per riprogettare servizi e procedure, per costruire nuove dinamiche di relazione con il cliente sulla base delle tecnologie odierne. Come tenere il passo della domanda dei clienti nel momento in cui utilizzano tecnologia mobile e tablet? Quali servizi nuovi offrire? Come proteggere le banche dagli attacchi informatici? Sono necessarie nuove, diverse filiali? Che tipo di personale assumere in una banca digitale? Il volume include non solo una estesa panoramica sulla rivoluzione digitale nel sistema bancario, ma anche un'analisi approfondita delle attività di banche emergenti come Barclays nel Regno Unito e mBank in Polonia, di nuove start-up come Metro Bank, di modelli di rottura come FIDOR Bank in Germania e un'introduzione agli ultimi modelli di finanza, come Zopa e Bitcoin. «Skinner è noto nel settore per le sue acute osservazioni su come la tecnologia sta cambiando il modello di business nel settore bancario. È una lettura imperdibile per chiunque sia interessato al futuro dei servizi finanziari». Kenneth Cline direttore esecutivo di "BAI Banking Strategies" «Le banche sono impreparate, incapaci e lente. Se non sono in grado di gestire le informazioni – il nucleo del denaro – allora forse dovrebbero uscire dai giochi. Una lettura davvero illuminante per chiunque creda che le banche potrebbero tornare al vecchio sistema dopo la crisi finanziaria». Michael Mainelli professore emerito del Gresham College di Londra «Skinner è forse il primo autore a prendere il polso del settore dei servizi finanziari non solo dal punto di vista europeo o americano, ma da una prospettiva davvero globale. Emmanuel Daniel fondatore e direttore editoriale di "The Asian Banker" «Chris Skinner ha dato un contributo importantissimo al dibattito sul passaggio alle banche digitali. Raccomando caldamente questa lettura. Brett King, autore di Bank 2.0 e fondatore di Moven «Chris Skinner è un grande esperto, un commentatore e un blogger di tecnologia nella finanza. In questo libro riunisce le sue opinioni su come cambierà l'erogazione di servizi finanziari quando le banche realizzeranno il proprio 'futuro digitale'. Forte di tre decenni di esperienza nello sviluppo della tecnologia bancaria, ci fornisce una guida preziosa e illustrata con una serie di interessanti case study, grazie alla quale potremo orientarci fra i cambiamenti che ci aspettano in questo vitale settore in rapido movimento.

Managing Democracy in the Digital Age

Internet Regulation, Social Media Use, and Online Civic Engagement

In light of the increased utilization of information technologies, such as social media and the ‘Internet of Things,’ this book investigates how this digital transformation process creates new challenges and opportunities for political participation, political election campaigns and political regulation of the Internet. Within the context of Western democracies and China, the contributors analyze these challenges and opportunities from three perspectives: the regulatory state, the political use of social media, and through the lens of the public sphere. The first part of the book discusses key challenges for Internet regulation, such as data protection and censorship, while the second addresses the use of social media in political communication and political elections. In turn, the third and last part highlights various opportunities offered by digital media for online civic engagement and protest in the public sphere. Drawing on different academic fields, including political science, communication science, and journalism studies, the contributors raise a number of innovative research questions and provide fascinating theoretical and empirical insights into the topic of digital transformation.

Human rights challenges in the digital age

Judicial perspectives

The digital space is a powerful enabler for more inclusive democratic discourse, participation and policy-making. At the same time, digitisation comes with new challenges. The abundance of data in the online space and powerful algorithm-based technologies pose serious risks to privacy, as well as to other interrelated human rights. The trans-border nature of the Internet itself presents significant legislative and judicial challenges for existing legal and institutional frameworks. This book follows on from the June 2019 seminar paying tribute to the outstanding contribution of Lawrence Early, Jurisconsult of the European Court of Human Rights, as he was about to retire. The seminar brought together members of the judiciary and prominent legal practitioners and academics, as well as representatives of European institutions and non-governmental organisations. Speakers from different legal systems and jurisdictions exchanged views on the ways to address the complexity that protection of human rights online presents for the judiciary. The seminar focused on three major subjects: judicial protection of freedom of expression and the right to privacy in the digital environment; the concept of jurisdiction in the World Wide Web; and the implications of Big Data. Given the breadth and significance of the issues arising in this complex, technical and fast-evolving area, the publication of these keynote contributions will undoubtedly inform further reflection on these matters by judges, legislators, experts and, perhaps most importantly, the general public.

BUNGA RAMPAI

INOVASI BERKELANJUTAN: KEPEMIMPINAN, KEBIJAKAN, SISTEM, EKONOMI, LINGKUNGAN DAN PEMERINTAHAN

Inovasi merupakan hal yang menarik untuk didiskusikan dalam berbagai sektor pembangunan dewasa ini. Berbagai model dan kegiatan diupayakan menggunakan inovasi untuk meningkatkan akselerasi output yang ditargetkan. Upaya ini pula dilakukan oleh semua stakeholder terkait dan berbagai aspek yang bersinggungan dengan inovasi. Bunga rampai ini merupakan salah satu pengkayaan sumber referensi tentang inovasi daerah yang bisa dijadikan sebagai alternatif rujukan literasi. Kepemimpinan dan Inovasi dalam Pemerintahan Daerah merupakan pembuka atau Bab I yang idenya berasal dari pemikiran Arif Barata Sakti yang memberikan gambaran membahas aspek kepemimpinan daerah (kabupaten/kota), inovasi, produktivitas dan daya saing daerah dengan Kota Magelang sebagai lokasi kajian. Pada Bab II, Peran Inovasi Legislatif dalam Mengembangkan Daerah dan Kebijakan Publik oleh Sukamsi yang menganalisis peran inovasi dan legislatif dalam mendorong percepatan pembangunan dalam koridor kebijakan publik. Andjar Prasetyo kemudian melengkapi dengan kajian Peran Inovasi Masyarakat dan Anggaran Inovasi Terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi yang disajikan dalam bab 3, membahas dampak inovasi terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Kota Magelang. Pada Bab 4 dengan menganalisa Kolaborasi Kebijakan Publik dan Perkembangan Inovasi Lingkungan Berbasis Masyarakat (Automatic environment control system) oleh Mohamad Zaenal Arifin, melengkapi inovasi lingkungan secara riil yang telah dilaksanakan di Kota Magelang. Pada Bab 5, Dewi Gartika menyajikan pembahasan tentang Sistem Inovasi Daerah (SIDa) Provinsi Jawa Barat, Kinerja Dan Strategi Penguatan, yang memperkaya rujukan inovasi daerah dalam buku ini. Bab 6 dibahas lebih jelas oleh Sukamsi tentang Sistem Inovasi Daerah Kabupaten Magelang dan Transisi menuju Keberlanjutan, dengan fokus kajian pada SIDa Kabupaten Magelang.

Pada akhir bunga rampai ini, yaitu Bab 8 ditutup oleh Mohamad Zaenal Arifin, yang menggagas inovasi lingkungan yang didukung dengan peraturan daerah yang berlokasi di Kota Magelang, yang terangkum dalam kajian Praktik Inovasi Lingkungan Hidup Di Kota Magelang Dalam Perspektif Peraturan Inovasi Daerah. Dalam setiap kajian didasarkan pada makalah ilmiah yang paling banyak dikutip kerangka kerja inovasi daerah yang didukung dengan sejumlah bukti-bukti empiris yang telah dilakukan oleh daerah yang menjadi lokus kajian. Bunga Rampai ini tidak akan mungkin tanpa bantuan dan kerja sama dari sejumlah besar orang. Secara khusus kami ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada kontributor data di masing-masing dari 5 lokasi yang terlibat dalam kajian. Tanpa bantuan organisasi dan pengetahuan lokal yang tak kenal lelah, tugas penelitian pasti jauh lebih sulit. Terima kasih juga kepada beberapa responden yang memberikan waktu mereka dengan murah hati dalam menyelesaikan survei dan berpartisipasi dalam wawancara. Kontribusi profesional dan pribadi dari seluruh personil baik yang terlibat secara langsung maupun tidak langsung yang telah membuat buku ini menjadi mungkin dipublikasikan.

Homo Deva: Tahap Lanjut Evolusi Umat Manusia untuk Memenangkan Masa Depan

Sejarah baru umat manusia sedang berlangsung, akhir dari budaya Homo sapiens telah tiba, dan era baru muncul dengan segala tantangannya. Kita mungkin tidak menyukainya, namun perubahan akan terus bergulir dan kita tidak bisa hanya diam menunggu. Kita sedang dan harus melalui transisi semacam itu—bergerak ke tantangan dan tekanan yang tak diketahui. Bagaimana umat manusia menghadapi tahap baru itu? Dengan kemampuannya beradaptasi, anggota Homo sapiens berkembang menjadi spesies baru yang lebih kreatif dan inovatif—itulah Homo deva. Era Homo deva akan membawa kita melintasi ambang evolusi utama, ketika orang belajar mengekspresikan integrasi antara kecerdasan dan intuisi yang lebih tinggi. Homo deva akan menjadi inovator umat manusia. Melalui buku ini, Mary Belknap menggambarkan evolusi yang muncul melalui tiga fase transisi alami menuju era kemanusiaan baru—intuisi, inovasi, dan identitas. Ia juga menjelaskan secara ilmiah langkah-langkah alami, yang dapat diamati dalam dua puluh tahun belakangan ini; termasuk peta visual agenda umat manusia menghadapi masa depan. Dengan paparan memukau dan argumen menggugah, ia merangsang dialog lebih dalam antara tradisi sains dan agama
