This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access. The increasing capacity of digital networks and computing power, together with the resulting connectivity and availability of “big data”, are impacting financial systems worldwide with rapidly advancing deep-learning algorithms and distributed ledger technologies. They transform the structure and performance of financial markets, the service proposition of financial products, the organization of payment systems, the business models of banks, insurance companies and other financial service providers, as well as the design of money supply regimes and central banking. This book, The Future of Financial Systems in the Digital Age: Perspectives from Europe and Japan,brings together leading scholars, policymakers, and regulators from Japan and Europe, all with a profound and long professional background in the field of finance, to analyze the digital transformation of the financial system. The authors analyze the impact of digitalization on the financial system from different perspectives such as transaction costs and with regard to specific topics like the potential of digital and blockchain-based currency systems, the role of algorithmic trading, obstacles in the use of cashless payments, the challenges of regulatory oversight, and the transformation of banking business models. The collection of chapters offers insights from Japanese and European discourses, approaches, and experiences on a topic otherwise dominated by studies about developments in the USA and China.

How does digitalisation affect adult and further education? The book shows the range of research perspectives and fields of application. Starting from basic theoretical research approaches, specific subject areas as well as application-related projects for the design of media-supported teaching-learning concepts are taken up. The contributions are not limited to technology-centred topics, but show the relevance of educational research for the design of the digital transformation. An interdisciplinary field of research and application is developed that cannot do without well-founded perspectives on adult education. Wie wirkt sich die Digitalisierung auf die Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung aus? Das Buch zeigt die Bandbreite der Forschungsperspektiven und Anwendungsfelder. Ausgehend von grundlagentheoretischen Forschungsansätzen werden spezifische Themenfelder sowie anwendungsbezogene Vorhaben zur Gestaltung mediengestützter Lehr-Lern-Konzepte aufgegriffen. Die Beiträge zeigen dabei die Relevanz bildungswissenschaftlicher Forschung für die Gestaltung der digitalen Transformation. Es werden interdisziplinäre Forschungs- und Anwendungsfelder entworfen, die ohne fundierte erwachsenenpädagogische Perspektiven nicht auskommen.
