Traditionally, the subject of adolescent development has been explored using a stage based approach, often with an emphasis on the potential risks and problems of adolescence. Taking a different approach, in this book the authors draw upon a wealth of research to examine the period of development from adolescence to adulthood from a dynamic systems perspective; investigating multi-facetted, multi-variable explanations surrounding the transitions and consequent transformations that occur in young peoples' lives, as they change from teenagers to young adults.The book considers the social institutions, interactions, contexts and relationships that influence each other, and young people, during developmental transitions.Topics covered include:dynamic systems theory in developmental and social psychology adolescents in social contextscompliments, lies and other social skills school, university and labour market transition adolescent health in a lifespan contextfamily dynamics.Development from Adolescence to Early Adulthood will be key reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the field of developmental psychology, as well as clinicians and policy makers working with young people.

Trade finance is of great importance in the commercial world, for both students (undergraduate and postgraduate) and practitioners. The choice of countries in export trade is often perception-based: trade with government departments or public institutions is seen as much safer than with private entities and the choice of countries is often based on that perception of risk.

This book:

• addresses issues and topics which are relevant to all jurisdictions in the world
• explains the various types of trade finance, how they may be raised and the legal issues pertaining to them

Value for those wanting to understand the legal issues of sources of trade finance in both the developed and developing countries, this book will interest students studying the interaction between law and commerce.
