No Japanese leader has dominated Japan's recent political landscape more than the late Abe Shinz.. With the this as the basic premise, the main objective of this compiled volume is to examine and assess Japan's foreign and domestic polices during the 2010s, a decade which largely overlaps with Abe's tenure as prime minister. This book is much more than a mere study of Abe's leadership, however, as it ventures far beyond the traditional scope of diplomatic and political history by incorporating a multidisciplinary approach. As such, the contributors comprise not only historians and political scientists, but also sociologists, economists, legal experts, journalists, and practitioners of diplomacy. This diversity in backgrounds makes it possible to examine a much wider range of topics and themes that clearly illuminate the multitude of challenges that Japan faced in the decade as well as how it responded to those challenges, leading to a more thorough understanding of the path that Japan took in the 2010s.

After a prolonged period of zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) by central banks around the world, the period from Q1 2022 to Q2 2023 has seen the largest, fastest, and most widespread increase in interest rates since the 1980s, with 1-year euro yields rising by more than 400 bp. The recent market turmoil has exposed the increased vulnerability of banks, particularly those with significant exposures to long-term, fixed income assets, fueled by shorter-term, less stable funding. This challenging interest rate environment reinforces the strategic importance of asset-liability management (ALM) for banks. Indeed, a bank's survival now depends more than ever on prudent ALM. This book introduces the most common components of interest rate risk management within a bank's asset-liability management framework, including the concepts of economic value of equity (EVE), net interest income (NII), funds transfer pricing (FTP), and the replicating model. In addition to bridging the gap between widely used general interest rate risk management techniques in the fixed income area and what is best practice in European banks, the book also provides an update on recent changes in the regulatory framework for European banks' management of interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB), including new EBA guidelines. It also covers the latest developments in interest rate risk management, such as rapidly changing interest rates and modeling bank customers' behavior.“Risk management is not just a technique, it is an art. The book connects the dots between established theory, current practice, and emerging regulation. The reader becomes both an engineer and an artist of asset liability management.”¿Joachim Wuermeling, former Executive Board Member, Deutsche Bundesbank“This book skillfully combines established ALM principles with today’s regulatory changes. It provides clear, practical insights into managing interest rate risk, making it an essential resource for both experienced professionals and those new to bank risk management.”¿Pascal Vogt, Partner & Director, Boston Consulting Group
