Cyberspace and Instability
Reconceptualises instability in relation to cyberspaceAssesses the risks of inadvertent escalation in cyberspaceExamines the role of NATO in cyber conflictExplores the infrastructural aspects of stability and the role of resilienceCase studies include US-China relations, the 2016 Presidential Elections, IoT devices and the African Union A wide range of actors have publicly identified cyber stability as a key policy goal but the meaning of stability in the context of cyber policy remains vague and contested.Vague because most policymakers and experts do not define cyber stability when they use the concept.Contested because they propose measures that rely often implicitly on divergent understandings of cyber stability.This volume is a thorough investigation of instability within cyberspace and of cyberspace itself.Its purpose is to reconceptualise stability and instability for cyberspace, highlight their various dimensions and thereby identify relevant policy measures.This book critically examines both 'classic' notions associated with stability for example, whether cyber operations can lead to unwanted escalation as well as topics that have so far not been addressed in the existing cyber literature, such as the application of a decolonial lens to investigate Euro-American conceptualisations of stability in cyberspace.

Macroeconomics: Institutions, Instability, and the Financial System
This authoritative new textbook integrates the modern monetary framework, based on the 3-equation model of the demand side, the supply side and the policy maker, with a model of the financial system.As a result, the authors comprehensively address the limitations of the mainstream macroeconomic model exposed by the financial crisis and the Eurozone crisis. The book guides the reader through the three principal steps required to integrate the financial system within the macroeconomic model. Firstly, the authors examine how the margin of the lending rate over the policy rate is set in the commercial banking sector, how money is created in a modern banking system and how the central bank can take account of the working of the banking system in order to achieve its desired policy outcome. Secondly, the authors explore the characteristics of the financial system that result in vulnerability to a financial crisis, with implications for fiscal balance.The economy depends on the continuity of core banking services and governments cannot afford to let them fail.This means that important banks do not bear the full cost of their lending decisions.As a result, they may have an incentive to take on excessive risk. Thirdly, a simple model is developed of the behaviour of highly-leveraged financial institutions as the basis for a leverage or financial cycle in the economy. In addition, the book extends the 3-equation model to the open economy and uses a simple 2-bloc version of the 3-equation model to introduce global imbalances.The case of a common currency area is handled within the core model - both at the Eurozone level and at the level of member countries.Every chapter emphasises how the different actors in the economy behave and interact: what are they trying to achieve and what limits their ability to put their intentions into practice?This is extended to the modelling of growth, where the role of innovation rents in the Schumpeterian model is highlighted.It is essential that students understand previous periods of growth, stability and crisis in preparing for future shocks.With this in mind, the book enables the reader to interpret long run historical data and to compare institutional detail in different eras and across the world.Consequently, this text not only develops the critical thinking skills required for academic success, but ensures the reader can analyse data, trends, and policy debates with the confidence necessary for a career in economics or finance.As a result, it is essential reading for all those interested in learning more about the current macroeconomic system and the role played by financial institutions. Online Resource Centre:For students:Conduct a range of exercises with the closed and open economy versions of the model using the Excel-based macroeconomic simulator. Develop your understanding with additional technical material available in the accompanying web appendices. For registered lecturers:Access the solutions to end of chapter questions from the book.

Generic Instability and Identity in the Contemporary Novel
Contemporary aesthetics is characterized by generic mixing on the level of both form and content.The barriers between different media and different genres have been broken down in all literary art forms, whether it be theatre, poetry, or the novel.While the publishing industry is increasingly keen to label novels according to genre or sub-genre ("Chick Lit", "Lad Lit", "Gay fiction", "Scottish fiction", "New Historical Fiction", "Crime fiction", "Post-9/11 Fiction"), the novel itself (and novelists) persist in resisting generic categorizations as well as inviting them.Is this a move towards a new artistic liberty or does it simply testify to a confusion of identity?The "aesthetic supermarket" evoked by Lodge in 1992 does indeed seem to sum up the variety of choices open to writers of fiction today and a literary landscape characterized by crossover and hybridization.The familiar dialectic of realism versus experimentation has segued into a middle ground of consensus which is neither radical nor populist, but both at the same time.The techniques of postmodernism have become selling points for novels, and the Postmodern Condition itself seems little more than a narrative posture marketed for an increasingly wide audience.Whether they have recourse to a "repertoire of imposture" (Amis, Self, Winterson), as Richard Bradford would have it (The Novel Now, 2007), in other words "the abandonment of any obligation to explain or justify their excursions from credulity and mimesis", or, like the New Puritans, make use of narrative minimalism in order to foreground their own peculiarities, contemporary novelists consistently draw attention to the fundamental instability of narrative process and genre.The much-feared apocalypse of the novel has failed to take place with the arrival of the new millennium, but generic game-playing and flickering, narrative hesitation and uncertainty continue to pose the question of what constitutes a novel today and to challenge its identity in a world where all culture is increasingly public, increasingly contested and increasingly multifarious.Thanks to theoretical approaches as well as analyses of specific works, this collection of essays aims to examine the concepts of generic instability and cross-fertilization, of narrative postures and impostures, and their constant redefinition of identity, which contaminates the very concept of genre.It demonstrates the diversity of generic practices in the novel today and furnishes us with undeniable evidence of how generic instability is fundamentally constitutive of the contemporary novel's identity.
