'Douglas Robertson has produced an exploring and comprehensive analysis of how operational risks that threaten financial institutions can be identified earlier and can be managed efficiently within a practical and realistic framework. This is an original book which is well-written for a popular as well as a professional readership.' Roland L. Gillet, Professor of Finance, Management School of La Sorbonne, University of Paris

'Managing Operational Risk is an accessible, non-technical introduction to the topic with many examples. A unique feature of this text is the discussion of statistical quality control and structured process improvement initiatives, like DMAIC. I recommend this book to corporate and private company managers who are looking for a readable and comprehensive introduction to operational risks management.' Professor Ron Kenett, Co-Author of Modern Industrial Statistics and Operational Risk Management, University of Turin, Italy and the KPA Group, Israel

"The amorphous nature of operational risk makes its measurement and management a particular challenge. This book provides a much-needed concrete approach to implementing operational risk oversight and mitigation techniques. Robertson shows how application of these common-sense auditing methodologies could have prevented the excesses in the mortgage market that led to the global financial crisis of 2007-2009." Professor Linda Allen, William F. Aldinger Chair in Banking and Finance, Zicklin School of Business, Baruch College, City University of New York

'Douglas Robertson's work introduces the reader to many angles of operational risk management in an accessible and yet comprehensive manner. It does an excellent job at illustrating how the recent credit crisis was rooted in operational risk. This book should act as an invaluable reference for practitioners, regulators, and academics who wish to gain useful insights about operational risk and modern approaches to its measurement, monitoring, and control.' Anna Chernobai, M.J. Whitman School of Management, Syracuse University

Practical Strategies to Identify and Mitigate Operational Risk Within Financial Institutions

Managing Operational Risk

"This book takes up what has been left by previous scholarship and makes original contributions to the current debate on the subject. . .Bridging case study and theory building and integrating diverse international relations theories, Power, Interest, and Identity in Military Alliances is an outstanding example of historical institutionalism applied to the field of international relations. The book is a welcome scholarly work, both for those who wish to learn about the U.S.-Korea security alliance and for those who engage in theoretical debates in international politics." - Youngshik D. Bong, The Journal of Asian Studies"The theoretical sophistication of this book sets a new standard for all students of military alliances in general and of the US-Korea alliance in specific. Based on meticulous empirical research Suh's nuanced analysis develops a compelling case forthe political significance of alliances. Beyond the balance of power, alliance politics trigger processes that construct the identities of allies and adversaries. Suh's elegant analysis explains how and why. This important book is required reading for all scholars interested in national security and international relations theory." - Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University "How does North Korea, a castaway from the wreckage of communism, with a ruined economy and a Lilliputian military budget in comparison to both the United States and South Korea, justify the persistence of the US-South Korean alliance? In this thoughtful and courageous book, J.J. Suh explains how habits of the mind and long-standing institutions lock us in, where "worst-case scenarios" often substitute for analyses of the enemy that remains as imagined as it is real. This is one of the most sophisticated and original accounts of the security dilemma in East Asia and it will make an important contribution to the way we think about military alliances in general." - Meredith Woo, Professor of Political Science, University of Michigan

"Andy Green, John Preston and Jan Germen Janmaat have provided a wonderful example of a theoretically and empirically informed social science approach to the study of education policy in this time of globalization." - Bob Lingard, British Journal of Sociology of Education

"This is a worthwhile and provocative volume, one that sets a high standard for future comparative research on education and social cohesion, and for mixed method research in education more generally." - Karen Mundy, British Journal of the Sociology of Education

"This book offers a highly competent corrective example to pseudo-social economism, on the one hand, and critical culturalism in education, on the other." - Philip Wexler, British Journal of the Sociology of Education

"The most relevant outcome of this study for educational policy and praxis is that Green and colleagues argue in a very convincing manner for the significance of the debate on 'education systems' for a German reader this is especially interesting because, even in the aftermath of the catastrophic PISA results for Germany, the huge majority of the members of the political class, and even educationalists, still dare to say that school structure does not count in their defence of the existing German three-tiered system." Heinz Sünker, British Journal of Educational Sociology

"an important book with substantial policy implications for a globalizing world." - Anthony Dworkin, International Sociology
