City of Walls

Crime, Segregation, and Citizenship in São Paulo

"This is an extraordinary treatment of a difficult problem. . . . Much more than a conventional comparative study, City of Walls is a genuinely transcultural, transnational work—the first of its kind that I have read."—George E. Marcus, author of Ethnography Through Thick & Thin "Caldeira's work is wonderfully ambitious-theoretically bold, ethnographically rich, historically specific. Anyone who cares about the condition and future of cities, of democracy, of human rights should read this book."—Thomas Bender, Director of the Project on Cities and Urban Knowledges "City of Walls is a brilliant analysis of the dynamics of urban fear. The sophistication of Caldeira's arguments should stimulate new discussion of cities and urban life. Its significance goes far beyond the borders of Brazil."—Margaret Crawford, Professor of Urban Planning and Design Theory, Graduate School of Design, Harvard University "Caldeira's insight illuminates the geography of the city as well as the boundaries—or the lack of boundaries—of violence."—Paul Chevigny, author of Edge of the Knife: Police Violence in the Americas "An extraordinary account of violence in the city. . . . Caldeira brings to this task a rare depth of knowledge and understanding."—Saskia Sassen, author of Globalization and Its Discontents "An outstanding contribution to understanding authoritarian continuity under political reform. Caldeira has written a brilliant and bleak analysis on the many challenges and obstacles which government and civil society face in new democracies."—Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, Director of the Center for the Study of Violence, University of São Paulo and Member of the United Nations Sub-Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights

Treasury Operations In Turkey and Contemporary Sovereign Treasury Management

This book has an overall approach to cover treasury operations and aims to provide a comprehensive overview on Turkey's transformation after the 2001 crisis. In the last decade, Turkey showed a strong performance and was shown as the benchmark country in Europe in World Bank’s “Golden Growth: Restoring the luster of European Economic Model” report. This book not only covers the Turkey's treasury management experience, but also asserts that the definition and the scope of the treasury operations have changed. Treasury management now involves treasury guarantees, public private partnership projects, non-guaranteed public liabilities and other contingent liabilities, financial receivables and even risk management. The focus of treasury management should cover all financial assets and liabilities within an integrated balance sheet approach. Each article in this book covers a different aspect of new treasury management and constitutes a sub-title of the headline both in terms of content and its order in the book.
