The Growth Paths of State-Society Relations: Power Dynamics, Industrial Policy, and the Pursuit of Inclusive and Sustainable Growth
by Mohamed Ismail SabryInstitutions shape states, society, businesses, and the interactions between them. Understanding how these interactions shape the growth paths of different countries is crucial to monitoring policy outcomes and gauging creditable impact. The Growth Paths of State-Society Relations highlights how different state-society relations have developed, the power relationships that characterize their different forms or modes, and the wider growth paths that are likely to emerge as a result. Combining case studies with empirical and theoretical game analysis, Mohamed Ismail Sabry presents four State-Business-Labor Relations (SBLR) modes for considering the power relationships at play in these interactions. Analyzing four significant case studies featuring Germany, the USA, China, and Russia, Sabry investigates the emergence of these various modes, particularly whether they arise out of institutional settings or special socioeconomic or historical circumstances. Considering variables such as levels of productivity, long-run economic growth, inequality, and sustainability, chapters also discuss how the SBLR modes affect the growth paths of each example country, particularly through policies related to Technology and Industry 4.0, Green transformation, and social welfare. Providing a rationale for institutional change as well as suggestions for power restructuring within a state-society relationship, The Growth Paths of State-Society Relations offers a unique and nuanced analysis of the perpetual interplay between government, business, and society.

Research in Administrative Sciences under COVID-19
by Mónica Lorena Sánchez Limón María Luisa Saavedra GarcíaDue to the COVID-19 pandemic the entire world experienced a health, humanitarian, and economic crisis with no record in the present century, leading to the paralysis of activities by voluntary or mandatory quarantines. There is great uncertainty about how long the crisis will last and how recovery will be achieved, because of this paralysis and the contraction of demand, auguring a slow recovery. Research in Administrative Sciences under COVID-19 examines the context surrounding organizations in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Detailing various aspects related to companies and their competitiveness in the face of the global health crisis, chapters cover topics on intellectual capital, burnout (professional exhaustion), stress and technostress, as well as pandemic effects on the human capital of organizations. Developing upon the issues of Corporate Social Responsibility, E-commerce in times of COVID-19 and Design Thinking as a strategy for the economic reactivation of start-ups in Mexico, this volume is the result of research efforts carried out by 23 outstanding researchers from 12 Mexican and Latin American higher education institutions.

The Development of Open Government Data: Connecting Supply and Demand Through Portals
by Di Wang Deborah Richards Ayse Aysin Bilgin Chuanfu ChenOpen government data (OGD) has developed rapidly in recent years due to various benefits that can be derived through transparency and public access. However, researchers emphasize a lack of use instead of lack of disclosure as a key problem in OGD’s present development. Previous studies have approached this issue either from the supply-side, focusing on data quantity and quality, or from the demand-side, focusing on factors that affect users’ acceptance of OGD, but seldom consider both sides at the same time. This unique study compares the supply and demand sides of OGD and explores possible directions for the future development of OGD portals based on the discovered mismatches between the two. The authors improve OGD utilization by balancing the supply-side and demand-side according to citizens’ demands through OGD portals. Based on the concept of an OGD ecosystem, four connected studies are explored. The first study built an evaluation framework for understanding the development of the OGD supply-side. The second study focuses on a survey conducted to analyze the awareness and utilization of OGD portals by citizens, who are the primary users and major beneficiaries of OGD on the demand-side. A third study compares the supply and demand sides based on Diffusion of Innovation theory. A final study tests the proposed usability criteria for building an OGD portal by carrying out a between-subjects experiment including a virtual agent. Each case study examines a unique aspect of OGD in China, and also offers reflections on future directions for developing OGD. Providing a unique and enhanced theoretical and practical understanding of OGD and its usage, as well as proposing directions for OGD portals’ future development in order to encourage citizens’ OGD utilization, this is a must-read for researchers and policymakers examining the impact and possibilities of OGD.

Globalisation and COVID-19 (Contributions to Conflict Management, Peace Economics and Development #31)
by Manas Chatterji Urs Luterbacher Valérie Fert Bo ChenThe beginnings of globalisation are usually dated to the last third of the twentieth century, alongside the rise of supranational companies, the financial economy and the information technology revolution. However, from the time the Earth was “anthropocized” during the Palaeolithic era, globalisation has not ceased, though it has seen a number of fluctuations, including the era of WWI and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Globalisation and COVID-19 examines how the simultaneous immobilisation of billions created a temporary hold on the mobility which constitutes the very irrigation of globalisation. In this 31st volume of the book series Contributions to Conflict Management, Peace Economics and Development, world-renowned contributors explore the pandemic through the lens of globalisation, analysing its implications for the globalised world and its development over time. Through innovative tools and methodologies of emerging social sciences like Regional Science, Peace Science, and particularly of Management Science which includes artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics, Globalisation and COVID-19 brings together researchers and practitioners to create a transversal and systemic approach necessary to interrogating essential questions of pandemic-era globality.

International Migration, COVID-19, and Environmental Sustainability (Contributions to Conflict Management, Peace Economics and Development #32)
by Manas Chatterji Urs Luterbacher Valérie Fert Bo ChenInternational migration afflicts nearly every corner of the globe, from the Americas, Europe and North Africa, and adjoining countries in South Asia. This migration links the socio-economic statuses of migrants’ home countries and those into which they are migrating. This phenomenon has a profound impact upon ethnic conflict, resource availability, famines and other natural and manmade disasters, as well as financial, political, social and environmental implications for some of the world’s most seemingly unsolvable crises, such as world peace. These vast complexities have been further exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which, as analysed through an environmental and migratory lens, is the focus of this 32nd volume of the book series Contributions to Conflict Management, Peace Economics and Development. With contributions from world-renowned scholars, International Migration, COVID-19, and Environmental Sustainability tackles recent universal subject matter and ties it to key contemporary issues, including globalisation and sustainability, that are related to international migration and its impacts.

Interparliamentary Relations and the Future of Devolution in the UK 1998-2018: Unravelling Threads? (Emerald Points)
by Margaret A. ArnottInterparliamentary Relations and the Future of Devolution in the UK provides a political analysis of interparliamentary relations at a time when devolved legislatures are more evidently asserting their influence. Chapters provide the context necessary to understanding current complexities, considering the future of UK politics in response to critical circumstances such as Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic. Margaret Arnott recognises how Tensions between competing narratives about the future working of devolution in the UK particularly over the future relationship of the devolved nations to the UK, were all too evident in contemporary political narratives. Written at a time of intensified political debates and the increasing questioning of models of democracy, Interparliamentary Relations and the Future of Devolution in the UK addresses a significant gap in academic literature to consider both the collective future of UK governance and that of the individual nations who form it.

Schoolchildren of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Impact and Opportunities
by Robert J. Ceglie Dixie F. Abernathy Amy W. ThornburgThe Covid pandemic is still very current and real, with many countries around the world still grappling with how to move forward. While the generation of “Covid children” will remain always as a unique cohort, there is no doubt that the results and repercussions of this most unusual experience will have implications that are far-reaching and of consequence to us all. In the United States, families and society appear to be gradually returning to some semblance of tradition, but the short and long term impact of what we have just collectively experienced, and specifically, what this experience has meant to our children, is yet to be explored or realized. This timely book explores the many facets for how the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted children in the United States. The authors explore both learning and teaching, and the social and emotional impacts felt by the pandemic. Exploring topics such as online learning, mental health, physical health, family impacts, and with a focus on detailing lessons learned, this volume is vital reading for educators and researchers alike.
