Economic Uncertainty in the Post-Pandemic Era

The global economy has experienced many challenges in recent times, particularly in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as dwindling demand, supply chain disruptions, declining growth rates, further pandemic waves, and increasing poverty and inequality to name but a few. Four years after the pandemic, economies are still struggling to achieve sustainable economic growth and development. While much has been written about the impact of COVID-19 on various sectors and economies, this is the first book to underscore the post-COVID global uncertainties that are still occurring on the world stage and further, to present the recent challenges such as geo-political tensions, war, economic disturbances, climate change, the energy crisis in Europe, recession in developed economies and its effect on developing and least developed economies. The book starts by setting the grounds for further discussion of the present challenges as well as future implications. In addition to examining the immediate issues which occurred with the onset of the pandemic, it explores these from the perspective of developed, developing, and least developed countries. The wide-ranging topics covered by the book include the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War, China's increasing economic dominance in neighbouring countries, the economic collapse of Sri Lanka and Pakistan, the factors that led to the technology layoffs and the future of global employees and economies. The book goes beyond looking at sector-specific factors and broadly outlines country-specific instabilities, policy choices and the way forward. The book will be of interest to students of macroeconomics, development and international economics, and international relations as well as researchers and policymakers.

Flüchtige Zeit

Miniklone helfen uns dabei, die Liebe unseres Lebens zu finden. Mechanische Kolibris bringen geliebte Menschen zurück. Riesige Seifenblasen lassen es in der Wüste regnen. Ein Vater befindet sich im Kälteschlaf - bis auf einen Tag im Jahr, an dem er sich für ein Familientreffen aufwecken lässt. Eine U-Bahn übernimmt die Kontrolle über ihren Streckenverlauf. Algorithmen lassen Sprachbarrieren verschwinden - und entscheiden, wer in einer Katastrophe gerettet wird und wer nicht.Die Anthologie 'Flüchtige Zeit' versammelt acht prägende Stimmen der zeitgenössischen chinesischen Science-Fiction, die das Verhältnis zwischen Mensch, Umwelt und Technik beleuchten. Die Frage, was bleibt, wenn die Bedingungen menschlicher Existenz grundlegend erschüttert werden, steht dabei im Mittelpunkt. Eine erzählerisch vielfältige Literatur, die sich nicht mit einfachen Antworten zufrieden gibt, sondern die Komplexität unserer Zeit widerspiegelt.In Szene gesetzt wird das vielstimmige Panorama von der Studiengruppe Illustration von Georg Barber (ATAK) und Markus Färber an der Burg Giebichenstein in Halle. Im Nachwort ordnet die Sinologin Jessica Imbach die Erzählungen in ihren gesellschaftlichen und literarischen Kontext ein.Das Buch wir zweifarbig gedruckt, enthält viele Bilder, die die Geschichten begleiten und erscheint mit vier verschiedenen Cover-Motiven. Der Inhalt ist gleich - außen überraschen 'Astronaut', 'Stadt', 'Zeit' oder 'Aqua'.Kapsel - Fantastische Geschichten aus China ist ein Projekt, das seit 2017 Kurzgeschichten aus dem chinesischen Science-Fiction-Kosmos veröffentlicht. Herausgegeben wird die Anthologie 'Flüchtige Zeit' vom Kapsel-Gründer und Literaturwissenschaftler Lukas Dubro und dem Sinologen Felix Meyer zu Venne - in Zusammenarbeit mit dem italienischen Science-Fiction-Verleger Francesco Verso. Kooperationspartner für den Band sind außerdem die Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle und das Konfuzius-Institut an der Universität Heidelberg e.V. Diese Publikation wird mit einer Verlagsprämie des Freistaats Bayern finanziell unterstützt.
