In the era of the metaverse, a big challenge permeates the digital landscape—a challenge that resonates both with creators seeking to thrive in this dynamic space and policymakers attempting to navigate its uncharted territories. Creators, driven by innovation, grapple with a myriad of uncertainties in monetizing their virtual content effectively. Simultaneously, policymakers find themselves at a crossroads, caught between the rapid evolution of the virtual realm and the lack of clear regulatory guidelines. This struggle is exacerbated by the issue of cybersecurity threats that cast a shadow over the metaverse's transformative potential. It is within this context of challenges that Creator's Economy in Metaverse Platforms emerges, poised to tackle the pressing issues at the intersection of creativity, regulation, and the ever-expanding metaverse. Creator's Economy in Metaverse Platforms dissects, analyzes, and offers solutions to the multifaceted challenges prevailing in the metaverse. By addressing fundamental questions about the creator economy, the elusive concept of the metaverse economy, and the indispensable role policymakers play, the book provides a holistic understanding of the landscape. Delving into topics such as stakeholder engagement, digital asset management, and the intricacies of various monetization models, it equips readers with actionable insights. Not content with a reactive approach, the book takes a proactive stance, offering solutions to foster interoperability and create an ecosystem where creators and policymakers can mutually thrive. It envisions not just a book but a catalyst for transformative change in the metaverse.

This book examines the processes, practices and principles of defence planning in small and middle powers. Small and middle powers are recalibrating their force postures in this age of disruption. They are adapting their defence planning and military innovation processes to protect the security of their nations. The purpose of this book is to explore defence planning and military innovation in 11 contemporary case studies of small and middle powers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania. Employing a structured focused comparison framework, it traces patterns in the choices of small and middle powers across the following themes: (1) alliances, dependencies and national ambitions; (2) approaches, processes, methods and techniques; and (3) military innovation strategies and outcomes. Breaking new theoretical ground, it offers a three-pronged typology distinguishing between the strategic defence planner, the transactional defence planners and the complacent defence planner. The book offers a rich array of insights into cases that fall across different geographies, strategic cultures and governance systems. These insights can help guide discussions on how to structure decision-making structures, arrive at ambition levels, formulate priorities, select partners and design defence planning and military innovation processes. This book will be of much interest to students of defence studies, security studies, public policy and international relations, as well as to professionals in defence planning.
