Political theory
Faith in Politics
Religion and Liberal Democracy
Bryan T. McGraw
Wheaton College, Illinois
Religion is often thought to be
a serious threat to democracies’
legitimacy, stability and freedom. Faith
in Politics argues that religion can be
democratically constructive and that
arguments offered to the contrary
are unpersuasive and dependent on
questionable empirical claims.
‘Bryan McGraw provides an insightful,
compelling treatment of the place
of religion in liberal democracy.
His empirical and philosophical
case prompts readers to rethink
existing understandings of tolerance,
deliberation, and legitimacy in
religiously plural democracies.’

The Ironic Defense
of Socrates
Plato’s Apology
David M. Leibowitz
Kenyon College, Ohio
This book offers a controversial new
interpretation of Plato’s Apology of
Socrates. David Leibowitz arrives at
unconventional conclusions about
Socrates’ teaching on virtue, politics, and
the gods; the significance of his famous
turn from natural philosophy to political
philosophy; and the purpose of his
insolent ‘defense speech’.

Genocide
A Normative Account
Larry May
Vanderbilt University, Tennessee
Genocide arises out of the worst of
horrors. Legally, however, the unique
character of genocide is reduced to
a technical requirement, that the
perpetrator’s act manifest an intention
to destroy a protected group. Larry May
offers the first philosophical exploration
of the crime of genocide in international
criminal law.

Terrorism and the
Ethics of War
Stephen Nathanson
Northeastern University, Boston
Stephen Nathanson argues that
we cannot have morally credible
views about terrorism if we neglect
broader issues about the ethics of
war. Challenging the realist view that
morality does not apply to war, he
provides an analysis of what makes
terrorism morally wrong, and a rule-
Political theory 1
utilitarian defense of noncombatant
immunity.
‘In this carefully argued work, Stephen
Nathanson has brought together two
areas, terrorism and the ethics of
war, too often treated separately. The
result is new moral clarity and insight
in both areas, especially regarding
the moral treatment due to civilians
by purveyors of military violence.
This work is particularly valuable for
those seeking a moral understanding
of terrorism and an appreciation of
what they must do to make their
condemnation of terrorism morally
credible.’

Political
Representation
Edited by Ian Shapiro
Yale University, Connecticut
Susan C. Stokes
Yale University, Connecticut
Elisabeth Jean Wood
Yale University, Connecticut
and Alexander S. Kirshner
Yale University, Connecticut
Political representation lies at the core of
modern politics. This volume combines
cutting-edge research on different
aspects of political representation, from
forms of representation before the
development of modern democracy to
the effect of televised electoral debates
on individuals’ political opinions.
‘Crossing boundaries of history,
political thought, analytical reason,
and empirical inquiry, a superb group
of scholars powerfully illuminates
the place of individual and group
representation within modern
democracies. Anyone interested in
such fundamental subjects as elections
and legislatures, mass opinion and
elite leadership, or public deliberation
and private interest, should attend
this rich harvest.’

Semi-Citizenship in
Democratic Politics
Elizabeth F. Cohen
Syracuse University, New York
This book introduces the concept of
semi-citizenship into debates about
individuals who hold some but not all
elements of full democratic citizenship.
Cohen uses theoretical analysis,
historical examples, and contemporary
cases of semi-citizenship to illustrate
how divergent normative and
governmental doctrines of citizenship
make semi-citizenship inevitable in
democratic politics.
‘Tackling the complex realm of ‘in
between’ status positions, Semi-
Citizenship in Democratic Politics
provides an original and compelling
framework for understanding different
types of partial citizenship. Cohen
provides much-needed clarity to
normative debates in political theory
over inclusion and exclusion and her
rigorous analysis is sure to be of great
use to empirically-oriented social
scientists.’

Emergency
Powers in Asia
Exploring the Limits of Legality
Edited by Victor V. Ramraj
National University of Singapore
and Arun K. Thiruvengadam
National University of Singapore
This collection of essays explores law’s
ability to constrain the invocation and
use of emergency powers in times
of crisis. It examines the nature and
viability of constitutionalism in Asia and
raises fundamental questions about
the modern state, questions that invite
legal, political, sociological and historical
analysis.
‘While emergency powers are most
frequently resorted to in Asia, there
is little systematic or comprehensive
study of this phenomenon. Emergency
powers can be a threat to liberal
constitutionalism; it may also be
a measure to restore stability and
constitutional order. It may be an
instrument of suppression, and yet
in some circumstances, it may also
serve to galvanize public support
against authoritarian regimes.
The role of emergency powers in
liberal constitutional democracies,
through which emergency powers
are conventionally analyzed, is very
different from that in developing
countries, particularly in the transition
from colonial rule to independence, or
from political turbulence to relative
tranquility. Can emergency powers
be contained by the constitution,
and more fundamentally, can
constitutionalism be sustained and
evolved alongside real, exaggerated

or perceived emergency situations
with a relatively fragile judiciary in
many Asian states? This book provides
a fresh perspective in understanding
emergency powers by putting them
squarely in the post-colonial and
post-conflict social, legal, political
and comparative context in Asia,
thereby enabling an intellectual
and theoretical engagement of the
contemporary debates on this complex
yet fascinating subject.’

Machiavelli and Political Theory
Under the English Republic
Paul A. Rahe
Hillsdale College, Michigan
This volume examines the political
thinking of three men – John Milton,
Marchamont Nedham, and James
Harrington – who championed the
abortive republican experiment in
England between 1649 and 1660 and
that of Thomas Hobbes, who lent his
support after initial opposition.
‘This is a truly revelatory new
interpretation of the thinkers who
laid the foundations of Anglo-
American republicanism. Deeply
learned and vivaciously written, the
work brims with provocative and
penetrating insights, highlighting a
capaciously synoptic historical vision.
A masterwork of a master historian of

Christopher Wolfe

Natural Law Liberalism argues that

liberalism tends to put traditional
morality and religion off-limits in
political discourse and to unreasonably
exalt individual autonomy, but nothing
in the liberal tradition demands this.

The Cosmopolitan
Imagination
The Renewal of Critical Social
Theory
Gerard Delanty
University of Sussex
A comprehensive assessment of the
idea of cosmopolitanism in social
and political thought which links
cosmopolitan theory with critical
social theory. Gerard Delanty aims
to distinguish cosmopolitanism
from related concepts such as
transnationalism and globalization,
and claims that cosmopolitan analysis
must take into account non-western
expressions of cosmopolitanism.
‘The revival of critical theory needs
a cosmopolitan vision and Gerard
Delanty has achieved this with an

Democracy and
Moral Conflict
Robert B. Talisse
Vanderbilt University, Tennessee
How should citizens react when
confronted with a democratic result that
they regard as intolerable? Should they
revolt, or instead pursue democratic
means of social change? In this book,
Robert Talisse argues that each of us
has reasons to uphold democracy that
are rooted in our most fundamental
epistemic commitments.
‘Talisse sees profound moral and
religious conflict in our political life
that threatens democracy, and makes
impossible effective defenses by
appeal to shared values. He advances
an important alternative: our common
commitment to sound beliefs should
lead us all to endorse democratic
politics. This is a fine work of public
philosophy in the tradition of J. S. Mill
and John Dewey.’

States of Emergency in
Liberal Democracies
Nomi Claire Lazar
University of Chicago
In an emergency, statesmen concentrate
power and suspend citizens’ rights.
This book shows that these emergency
powers reflect a plurality of norms and
of modes of power that are continuous
between normalcy and emergency.
Recognizing this shows how liberal-
democratic values can remain in force,
even in times of urgency.
‘There are few problems more
important in the present
constitutional universe than that those
surrounding the notion of ‘emergency
powers’. Nomi Lazar has written an
outstanding book, with particularly
helpful analyses both of the Roman
dictatorship and of the thought of
the most important theorist of the
consequences of emergencies, Carl
Schmitt. It deserves wide readership
and discussion.’

The Politics of Persons
Individual Autonomy and Socio-
historical Selves
John Christman
Pennsylvania State University
This book offers a model of individual
autonomy which takes into account
the socially constructed nature of
persons and their complex cultural
and social identities, and provides a
foundation for principles of justice for
complex democracies marked by radical
difference among citizens.
‘The Politics of Persons is a rich
and provocative work that makes
a significant contribution both to
autonomy theory and to political
philosophy. Lively and erudite, it is
a landmark work that is the most
comprehensive treatment to date of
how these two fields can, and should,
interrelate. It should thus be read
by all interested in either political
philosophy or autonomy theory, and
is absolutely essential reading for
anyone interested in both.’

Political Judgement
Essays for John Dunn
Edited by Richard Bourke
Queen Mary, University of London
and Raymond Geuss
University of Cambridge
The attempt to understand political
judgement reflects a struggle to define
the relationship between political
process and political norms. This book
by leading scholars restores the subject
to the very centre of political theory,
reconsidering classic debates whilst
offering original treatments of key
figures in the history of political thought.
‘This wide array of distinguished
contributions reflects the ample scope
of John Dunn’s work. It also illustrates
one of the themes that Dunn has
insistently pressed: the understanding
of politics cannot and should not be
unified. This is a book for all those
interested in the intelligence of
politics beyond doctrinal boundaries.’

After the Holocaust
The Book of Job, Primo Levi, and
the Path to Affliction
C. Fred Alford
University of Maryland, College Park
The Holocaust marks a decisive moment
in modern suffering in which it becomes
almost impossible to find meaning
or redemption in the experience. In
this study, C. Fred Alford offers a new
and thoughtful examination of the
experience of suffering.
‘Alford shows how carefully attending
to our post-Holocaust predicament
enables us to appreciate and share
our humanity in ways that resist
perverse forces intent on degrading
and destroying human existence.
Recognizing our finitude and fallibility
while holding humankind accountable,
Alford’s flashes of insight are scarcely
comforting, but they provide much-
needed guidance that can bring us to
our senses.’

Race, Empire, and
the Idea of Human
Development
Thomas McCarthy
Yale University, Connecticut
An exciting new study of ideologies
of racism and imperialism that
accompanied the rise of the West.
Thomas McCarthy analyzes hierarchical
conceptions of human development that
have underwritten European-American
hegemony, and proposes a critical theory
of development to counter contemporary
neoracism and neoimperialism.
‘With a first systematic account of
racisms and penetrating criticisms of
developmental schemes, this brilliant

John Rawls
An Introduction
Percy B. Lehning
Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam
An introduction to the American political
philosopher, John Rawls, outlining
why he is generally acknowledged as
one of the most influential political
philosophers of the twentieth century.
Percy B. Lehning explains how Rawls’
ideas on justice have influenced the
theory of government and play a role in
public political debates.
‘John Rawls was the pre-eminent
social theorist of the 20th century, but
while he drew powerful critics from
Robert Paul Wolff and Robert Nozick
to Brian Barry, it is only now with
Percy Lehning’s new book that we
have a definitive and comprehensive
account of the theory of justice as
it evolved over fifty years. Lehning
has given students and scholars alike
the indispensable introduction Rawls
deserves.’

The Sins of the
Nation and the
Ritual of Apologies
Danielle Celermajer
University of Sydney
In the last years of the twentieth
century, political leaders the world over
began to apologize for wrongs in their
nations’ pasts. This book argues that
these apologies mark a new stage in
our recognition of the importance of
collective responsibility.
‘An extraordinary inquiry into what
political apologies are, why today
they are valued and valuable, and
how they may be reconciled with
liberal democratic norms. Drawing
on an impressive range of historical
and contemporary sources, Sins of
the Nation shows how contemporary
politics and political theory can
benefit from the wisdom of some of
our major religious traditions. It is
destined to be a landmark work on
the subject.’

Schopenhauer
A Biography
David E. Cartwright
University of Wisconsin, Whitewater
In his quest to solve ‘the ever-disquieting
riddle of existence,’ Schopenhauer
explored almost every dimension of
human existence, developing a darkly
compelling worldview that found deep
resonance in contemporary literature,
music, philosophy, and psychology. This
is the first comprehensive biography of
Schopenhauer written in English. Placing
him in his historical and philosophical
contexts, David E. Cartwright tells the
story of Schopenhauer’s life to convey
the full range of his philosophy. He
Political theory / History of ideas 7
offers a fully documented portrait in
which he explores Schopenhauer’s
fractured family life, his early formative
influences, his critical loyalty to Kant, his
personal interactions with Fichte and
Goethe, his ambivalent relationship with
Schelling, his contempt for Hegel, his
struggle to make his philosophy known,
and his reaction to his late-arriving
fame.

David L. Marshall examines the entirety

He demonstrates Vico’s significance as

Hobbes on Resistance
Defying the Leviathan
Susanne Sreedhar
Boston University
This book defends an interpretation
of Hobbes’s political philosophy that
focuses on his justification for political
disobedience and demonstrates the
existence of a Hobbesian theory of
resistance. It will appeal to all who
are interested in the nature and limits
of political authority and the modern
origins of these issues.
‘This is an excellent book on centrally
important – but often neglected –
aspects of Hobbes’ political and moral
theories. It is powerfully argued and
lucidly expressed. Written with verve
and humor, it is great fun to read, and
deserves a wide audience.’

Friedrich Nietzsche
A Philosophical Biography
Julian Young
Wake Forest University, North Carolina
In this beautifully written account, Julian
Young provides the most comprehensive
biography available today of the life and
philosophy of the nineteenth-century
German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
Young deals with the many puzzles
created by the conjunction of Nietzsche’s
personal history and his work: why the
son of a Lutheran pastor developed
into the self-styled ‘Antichrist’; why
this archetypical Prussian came to
loath Bismarck’s Prussia; and why
this enemy of feminism preferred the
company of feminist women. Setting
Nietzsche’s thought in the context of his
times – the rise of Prussian militarism,
anti-Semitism, Darwinian science, the
‘Youth’ and emancipationist movements,
as well as the ‘death of God’ – Young
emphasises the decisive influence
of Plato and of Richard Wagner on
Nietzsche’s attempted reform of Western
culture.

A History of Russian
Philosophy 1830–1930
Faith, Reason, and the Defense
of Human Dignity
Edited by G. M. Hamburg
Claremont McKenna College, California
and Randall A. Poole
College of St. Scholastica, Minnesota
The great age of Russian philosophy
spans the century between 1830 and
1930 – from the famous Slavophile-
Westernizer controversy of the 1830s
and 1840s, through the ‘Silver Age’ of
Russian culture at the beginning of the
twentieth century, to the formation of
a Russian ‘philosophical emigration’
in the wake of the Russian Revolution.
This volume is a major new history and
interpretation of Russian philosophy in
this period. Eighteen chapters (plus a
substantial introduction and afterword)
figures, schools, and controversies, while
simultaneously pursuing a common
central theme: the development of
a distinctive Russian tradition of
philosophical humanism focused on
the defence of human dignity. As
this volume shows, the century-long
debate over the meaning and grounds
of human dignity, freedom, and the
just society involved thinkers of all
backgrounds and positions, transcending
easy classification as ‘religious’ or
‘secular’. The debate still resonates
strongly today.

A History of
Russian Thought
Edited by William Leatherbarrow
University of Sheffield
and Derek Offord
University of Bristol
The history of ideas has played a central
role in Russia’s political and social
history. Understanding its intellectual
tradition and the way the intelligentsia
have shaped the nation is crucial to
understanding the Russia of today.
This new history examines important
intellectual and cultural currents
(the Enlightenment, nationalism,
nihilism, and religious revival) and
key themes (conceptions of the West

and East, the common people, and
attitudes to capitalism and natural
science) in Russian intellectual history.
Concentrating on the Golden Age of
Russian thought in the mid nineteenth
century, the contributors also look back
to its eighteenth-century origins in the
flowering of culture following the reign
of Peter the Great, and forward to the
continuing vitality of Russia’s classical
intellectual tradition in the Soviet and
post-Soviet eras. With brief biographical
details of over fifty key thinkers and
an extensive bibliography, this book
provides a fresh, comprehensive
overview of Russian intellectual history.

Milton in Context
Edited by Stephen B. Dobranski
Georgia State University
Few early modern poets engaged more
fully with their historical circumstances
than John Milton. A pamphleteer,
government employee, and writer
of occasional verse, Milton did not
retreat from public life even after his
political hopes were dashed by the
Restoration. This volume investigates
the various ways in which Milton’s
works and experiences emerged from
the culture and events of his time. In a
series of concise, engaging essays, an
international group of scholars examines
both the social conditions of Milton’s
life and the broader intellectual currents
that shaped his writings and reputation.
A uniquely wide range of topics is
covered: from biography to translations,
from astronomy to philosophy, and
from the English Church to the civil
wars. Milton in Context is an accessible
reference work that both students and
scholars will turn to again and again to
enrich their understanding of Milton’s
writings and his world.

Post-Zionism,
Post-Holocaust
Three Essays on Denial,
Forgetting, and the
Delegitimation of Israel
Elhanan Yakira
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Translated by Michael Swirsky
This book contains three independent
essays, available in English for the
first time, as well as a post-scriptum
written for the English edition. Yakira
examines three responses to Zionism,
arguing that their common theme is
the uses and abuses of the Holocaust
as an ideological arm in the anti-Zionist
campaigns.
‘A book that has immense learning
and moral and political passion in
equal measure. Professor Yakira takes
us deep into that consuming debate
between Zionists and post-Zionists.
Luminous intellectual history. His
study of Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in
Jerusalem, and its legacy, is a brilliant
piece of criticism. A timely and
courageous book.’

Exclusionary Empire
English Liberty Overseas,
1600–1900
Edited by Jack P. Greene
The Johns Hopkins University
Consisting of an introduction and ten
chapters written by noted experts,
Exclusionary Empire examines the
transfer of English traditions of liberty
and the rule of law overseas from 1600
to 1900. The essays examine the ways in
which the polities incorporated English
traditions and the extent to which
these traditions were confined to the
independent male segments of society.
‘Britain’s empire was the first since
antiquity expressly dedicated to the
encouragement of liberty. Exclusionary
Empire comprehensively maps
the contrasting, varied, and often
paradoxical results of Britons’ efforts
to export and foster their freedoms
around the world. This impressive
array of authoritative essays provides
a new history of the British Empire
seen through its liberal institutions
and a novel account of liberty’s
complex imperial

Rationality in
Economics
Constructivist and Ecological
Forms
Vernon L. Smith
Chapman University, California
This book constitutes an empirical
behavioral challenge to traditional
economic and game theory. Using
constructivist and ecological approaches,
Vernon L. Smith, a 2002 Nobel Laureate
in Economic Science, provides a new
perspective based on experimental
science that considers the work of F. A.
Hayek and the classical liberal tradition.
‘The journey that brought Vernon
Smith to his Nobel Prize is not over.
It obviously brought us constructive
tools, in the form of controlled
experimental methods that allow
economists to see the lay of the
behavioral land more clearly than
before. But this magisterial review
of the whole journey, including
precursors, reminds us that the
scope of economics has always
been much wider than the straw
man that behaviorists like to attack.
Properly understood, experimental
methods force all economists to
think of constructivist and ecological
understanding behavior, rather than as
fundamentally inconsistent views of
behavior. The journey, then, has really
just begun.’

Philosophy
Edited by Robert Pasnau
University of Colorado, Boulder
The Cambridge History of Medieval
Philosophy comprises over fifty specially

philosophy of this period. Starting in the
late eighth century, with the renewal
of learning some centuries after the

is the continuous coverage of Islamic,
Jewish, and Christian material. There are
useful biographies of the philosophers,
and a comprehensive bibliography.

and the Nazi Past
A. Dirk Moses
University of Sydney
This book examines West German
intellectual debates about the Nazi
past by explaining why they were
so relentlessly polarized. Germans
argued about the viability of their very
nationality: was it stigmatized, stained,
or polluted by crimes of the Third Reich?
Or was it really like any other nation?
The book examines how German
intellectuals either defended national

traditions or condemned them and
instead advocated alternative traditions.
‘All research on the intellectual history
of the Federal Republic will find
trustworthy orientation in this book.’

Shakespeare and
Early Modern
Political Thought
Edited by David Armitage
Harvard University, Massachusetts
Conal Condren
University of New South Wales, Sydney
and Andrew Fitzmaurice
University of Sydney
This volume is the first historically
informed collection of essays focusing
on Shakespeare’s engagement with the
political thinking of his time. Covering
the full range of Shakespeare’s work,
a distinguished team of contributors
provides a coherent and challenging
portrait of Shakespeare’s engagement
with the questions of early modern
political thought.
‘This volume is one of the most
important new studies of Shakespeare
to have appeared this century. It
takes the discussion of Shakespeare
and early modern political thought
to a hitherto unseen level of
sophistication. For the first time, we
are offered a serious and sustained
reading of Shakespeare in the light
of the ‘Cambridge school’ of work
on the language of political theory
that is associated above all with
Quentin Skinner, who provides
a magisterial afterword. What is
remarkable about the collection is the
way in which its contributors come
from diverse perspectives – here
we have distinguished philosophers
and historians of ideas as well as
the distinctive voice of Stephen
Greenblatt – and yet they create
a strikingly unified image of a
Shakespeare who is at once a deep
political thinker, a consummate master
of rhetoric and a wily refusenik when
it comes to orthodox positions. With
great originality, the contributors
show that even a work as apparently
slight as The Merry Wives of Windsor
has a powerful political dimension.
This is a book that deserves a
prominent place on the bookshelf of
anyone interested in Shakespeare –
more than that, of anyone interested
in the interplay between literature
and the history of political thought.’

Adam Smith and the
Character of Virtue
Marquette University, Wisconsin
Hanley revisits the moral and political
philosophy of Adam Smith to recover his
understanding of morality in a market
age. Focusing on Smith’s analysis of the
psychological and social ills endemic
to commercial society, Hanley argues
he sought to combat corruption by
cultivating the virtues of prudence,
magnanimity and beneficence.
‘Ryan Patrick Hanley’s excellent
Adam Smith and the Character
of Virtue succeeds in bringing a
fresh perspective to the study of
Smith’s works. It offers a brilliant
reinterpretation of Smith’s moral
philosophy that not only unifies
Smith’s work but offers larger lessons
for us today. In an increasingly

Orientalism and Islam
European Thinkers on Oriental
Despotism in the Middle East
and India
Michael Curtis
Rutgers University, New Jersey
This book reveals the complex positive
and negative interaction between
Europe and the Orient, arguing that the
European concept of Oriental despotism
was based not on arbitrary prejudicial
observation, but rather on perceptions of
real processes and behavior in Eastern
systems of government.
‘Michael Curtis has written a
discerning, authoritative book of
intellectual history. He takes us back
to the greats – Burke and Mill and
Marx and Tocqueville and Weber – and
throws a floodlight on the present.
He has read widely and thoughtfully.
From his pages, and from the company
of those intellectual giants, we return
with a new understanding of the
civilizational conflicts that mark our
contemporary world. This is a book of
deep scholarship and learning, but it is
written with ease and grace. A book of
political theory, and of history as well.
An essential book, for it retrieves for
us a big piece of Western intellectual
history and thought.’

Edited by Miriam Eliav-Feldon

University of Haifa, Israel
Is it possible to speak of western
racism before the eighteenth century?
Leading historians argue that racism
can be traced back to the attitudes
of the ancient Greeks towards their
Persian enemies and that it was
adopted, adjusted and re-formulated by
Europeans right through until the dawn
of the Enlightenment.

An unrivalled overview of social theory
and its development. Two of the
world’s leading sociologists provide
an excellent background to the most
important social theorists and theories
in contemporary sociological thought,
with crisp summaries of the main books,
arguments and controversies in the
English, French and German literature.
‘Social Theory does a remarkable job
of making a complex and sometimes
difficult subject matter into a clear
and continuously interesting book.
Without claiming a false neutrality
Joas and Knöbl combine exposition
and criticism in a way that is
consistently fair even to positions
that are farthest from their own. This
should be an indispensable book for
at least a generation.’

Scientist
Jon Elster
Collège de France
The book proposes a new interpretation
of Alexis de Tocqueville that views
him first and foremost as a social
scientist rather than a political theorist.
Consistently going beyond exegetical
commentary, he argues that Tocqueville
is eminently worth reading today for his
substantive and methodological insights.
‘Elster’s jeweler’s eye has seen into
the hidden intricacies and profundities
of Tocqueville the political
psychologist and comparative social
historian. A sumptuous, stringent and

and the Spirit of
Republican Self-
Government
Colleen A. Sheehan
Villanova University, Pennsylvania
In the first study that combines an
in-depth examination of Madison’s
National Gazette essays of 1791–92
with a study of The Federalist, Colleen
Sheehan traces the evolution of
Madison’s conception of the politics
of communication and public opinion
throughout the Founding period,
demonstrating how ‘the sovereign
public’ would form and rule in America.
‘Colleen Sheehan’s Madison is driven
by an overarching concern: What
would it take for this American
population to become – and remain –
a self-governing people? More was at
stake than survival and prosperity. For
Madison the new national community
could flourish only if the people
had good reasons for respecting
themselves. Sheehan’s engaging
account of America’s beginnings
enlarges our understanding of the
hopes and fears, successes and
failures, not only of a notable man but
of a generation of founders.’

Auguste Comte
An Intellectual Biography
Volume 2
Mary Pickering
San José State University, California
This volume explores the life and works
of Auguste Comte from 1842 to 1852,
when he transformed his positive
philosophy into a religious and political
movement. Mary Pickering assesses
Comte’s intellectual development in its
historical context, his correspondence
with John Stuart Mill and other
luminaries, and his relationship with his
muse, Clotilde de Vaux.
‘Mary Pickering has now completed
what has to be regarded as one of
the great biographies of a major
nineteenth-century French thinker.
What is most obviously impressive
about this work is its thoroughness,
its mastery of the details of Comte’s
life and thought. It is clearly the result
of a prodigious effort of research.
Hardly less impressive are the depth,
the coherence, and the originality of
the picture of Auguste Comte that
emerges from this biography.’

Proclus: Commentary
on Plato’s Timaeus
Volume 4: Book 3
Part 2: Proclus on the World Soul
Monash University, Victoria
In the present volume Proclus describes
the ‘creation’ of the soul that animates
the entire universe. This is not a literal
creation, for Proclus argues that Plato
means only to convey the eternal
dependence of the World Soul upon
higher causes. In his exegesis of Plato’s
text, Proclus addresses a range of issues
in Pythagorean harmonic theory, as well
as questions about the way in which the
World Soul knows both forms and the
visible reality that comprises its body.
This part of Proclus’ Commentary is
particularly responsive to the interpretive
tradition that precedes it. As a result,
this volume is especially significant for
the study of the Platonic tradition from
the earliest commentators onwards.

Performance Politics
and the British Voter
Harold D. Clarke
University of Texas, Dallas
David Sanders
University of Essex
Marianne C. Stewart
University of Texas, Dallas
and Paul F. Whiteley
University of Essex
What matters most to voters when they
choose their leaders? This book suggests
that performance politics is at the heart
of modern democracy. Since voters and
parties often share the same positions
on key issues, political competition and
electoral choices focus on who can do
the best job.
‘Choice based models of political
behaviour take centre stage in this
book where the analysis of the 2005
election is embedded into a rich
discussion of political attitudes and
preferences of the British public. The
authors develop, test and demonstrate
how ‘valence politics’ theory
significantly contributes to explaining
turnout, party choice and civic
involvement in the UK and abroad.
The reader will enjoy a masterly blend
of analytical theorising and rigorous
advanced modelling sheds light on
controversial issues. A rewarding read
for scholars of UK and comparative
political behaviour.’

Beyond
Environmental Law
Policy Proposals for a Better
Environmental Future
Edited by David M. Driesen
Syracuse University, New York
and Alyson C. Flournoy
University of Florida
This book offers two major proposals
for environmental law reform. The first
proposal would require preservation of a
defined environmental legacy for future
generations. The second proposal would
use of new clean technology. The book
thus lays the groundwork for a third
generation of environmental law to
succeed the protective but fragmented
first generation and the second
generation, which sought to temper
environmental protection through use
of cost-benefit analysis and efficient
market mechanisms.

‘This book mines some scholarly

has struck gold. He challenges the
conventional academic wisdom that
varying levels of turnout in elections
and, in particular, the ‘problem’ of low
voter turnout isn’t much of a problem
at all. This conventional wisdom,
he argues, misses a very important
arena where turnout ought to matter:
local elections. The differences
between voters and non-voters not
in preferences but in their racial and
economic makeups should matter
most at the local level, in part because
the racial makeup of the electorate
in most cities is more heterogeneous
than the country as a whole, and also
because turnout is typically lower
in local elections. In fact, as Hajnal
demonstrates clearly, local electorates
are skewed in favor of the white, the
well-educated, and the wealthy.’

Church, State, and
Original Intent
Donald L. Drakeman
Princeton University, New Jersey
Shows how the justices of the United
States Supreme Court have used
constitutional history, portraying the
framers’ actions in a light favoring
their own views about how church and
state should be separated. Drakeman
examines church-state constitutional
controversies from the founding era to
the present, arguing that the framers
originally intended the establishment
clause only as a prohibition against a
single national church.
Drakeman has contributed a real gem.
His Church, State, and Original Intent
is expertly researched. Drakeman
has found some new and intriguing
clues to the original understanding of
the Religion Clauses. He also offers
fresh and persuasive interpretations
of familiar evidence. And the book
is a great read; Drakeman is a gifted
story-teller.’

Direct Democracy
and the Courts
Kenneth P. Miller
Claremont McKenna College, California
This book analyzes the conflict between
two rising powers – direct democracy
and the courts. The resulting conflict
between the people and the courts
threatens to produce a popular backlash
against judges and raises profound
questions about the proper scope of
popular sovereignty and judicial power
in a constitutional system.
‘Miller’s Direct Democracy and the
Courts is a probing, well-researched,
instructive, and much-needed
assessment of the new politics pitting
direct democracy initiative activists
against the often countervailing forces
of state and federal courts.’

Authoritarianism
and Polarization in
American Politics
Marc J. Hetherington
Vanderbilt University, Tennessee
and Jonathan D. Weiler
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
A scholarly controversy has raged
over whether ordinary Americans are
polarized. This book argues that they
are because the left and right are
increasingly divided by an overarching
worldview that guides people’s view of
right and wrong. This divide is rooted
in authoritarianism, causing especially
contentious political conflict.
‘Hetherington and Weiler’s
Authoritarianism and Polarization in
American Politics breaks new ground
in the debate about the nature of
polarization in the American public
and in so doing reinvigorates the
study of authoritarianism. This is an
important and compelling work that
will be of interest to all students of
American politics.’

Voter Registration Reforms and
their Effects
Michael J. Hanmer
University of Maryland, College Park
Hanmer’s research, which considers
the social and political context of voter
registration laws, demonstrates that
the effect of registration laws is not
as profound as either reformers would
hope or previous studies suggest,
especially when reform is a response to
federal legislation.
‘There is much to recommend this
book. Michael Hanmer has made
a significant substantive and
methodological contribution to the
study of voting systems and electoral
reform. Incorporating both substantive
and methodological insights, he has
carefully crafted a strong argument
for considering the endogeneity of
electoral reform’s impact and how
the forces that determine adoption of
these reforms influence its impact on
voter registration and turnout.’

God and the Founders
Madison, Washington, and

Vincent Phillip Muñoz
University of Notre Dame, Indiana
God and the Founders explains the
church-state political philosophies of
James Madison, George Washington,
and Thomas Jefferson. It answers the
question, ‘What would the Founders
do?’ for the most pressing church-state
issues, including prayer in public schools,
government support of religion, and
legal burdens on individuals’ religious
consciences.
‘Vincent Philip Muñoz begins this
fine book by pointing to a notorious
scandal – that there is no evident
logic to the opinions handed down
over the last sixty years by the U. S.
Supreme Court regarding church and
state and that over time the confusion
sown by the court has grown more
seriousness. This state of affairs he
traces to the fact that the Justices
opinions on this matter and get them
wrong. To encourage greater clarity
and thoughtfulness in their judicial
deliberations, he demonstrates that

Party Position Change
in American Politics
Coalition Management
David Karol
University of California, Berkeley
David Karol views parties as coalitions
of groups with intense preferences on
particular issues managed by politicians.
He explains important variations in party
position change: the speed of shifts, the
stability of new positions, and the extent
to which change occurs via adaptation
by incumbents.
‘We often think of the long-term
stability in the positions that the
parties take on major issues. Changes,
when they come, are supposed to
be associated with major events,
perhaps realignments. And yet, as
Karol shows, there is more change
than that. Not only that, but, as he
shows, there are three different paths,
with different dynamics and speeds
of adjustment, the latter largely due
to the role of ‘interest coalitions’.
Karol demonstrates his claims through
careful study of a number of particular
issues, showing, inter alia, that what
we think of as left and as right, as
Democrat and Republican is a function
of parties, leaders, and interests, all
of which change over time. And, in
this, we learn not only much about
American politics but about the limits
of our scholarly understandings and
the theories that lie behind them.’

Health Care for Us All
Getting More for Our Investment
Earl L. Grinols
Baylor University, Texas
and James W. Henderson
Baylor University, Texas
Health Care for Us All challenges
the common belief that health care
problems in the United States are
difficult and possibly insoluble. It
examines what Americans want from
health care spending and applies an
efficiency filter to identify a virtually
unique framework that will meet their
needs.
‘Two Baylor economists apply
economic principles, rather than
political considerations, to health
care reform and conclude that we
can achieve universal coverage, lower
costs, and satisfied consumers and
patients. Their important contribution
to the debate is showing that the key
to reforming our health care system
isn’t expanding government control,
which has largely caused most of the
current problems, but getting the
economic incentives right.’

Louis D. Brandeis
and the Making
of Regulated
Competition,
1900–1932
Gerald Berk
University of Oregon
This book provides an innovative
interpretation of industrialization and
statebuilding in the U.S. by tracing the
development of regulated competition.
Conceptualized by Brandeis and
implemented by trade associations and
the Federal Trade Commission, regulated
competition checked economic power by
channelling competition from predation

into improvement in products and
production processes.
‘Berk’s nuanced study of Brandeis is
about the rejection of preordained
categories and rigid formulas, by
extraordinary policymakers and
also by social scientists who seek
to understand them. Ultimately, it
is about the limitless possibility
of politics to reorder familiar
arrangements of state and economy in
the interests of a differently-conceived
world. Its publication could hardly be
more timely.’

Out of Sight
The Mystery of National

A Government Out of Sight revises our
understanding of the ways in which
Americans turned to the national

perspective on American political
development in the twentieth century,
shedding light on government programs
and subsidies that even today remain
‘out of sight.’
‘Brian Balogh recasts our
understanding of the role of
government in the United States. His
ambitious and elegant interpretation
changes the plot line of American
ungoverned freedom and iconoclastic
reformers with a deeper story, cutting
against some of the most enduring
myths of American history.’

Intelligence for an
Age of Terror
Gregory F. Treverton
RAND Corporation, Santa Monica
During the Cold War, U.S. intelligence
terrorism was secondary. Now the
priorities are reversed. And the challenge
is enormous. States had an address, and
they were hierarchical and bureaucratic.
This book emphasizes how much the
analysis of terrorism has changed over
the past two decades.
‘Intelligence for an Age of
Terror provides the realistic and
comprehensive template necessary
programs. Gregory Treverton has
relied on his long experience with the
intelligence community and his wide
and careful reading to produce what I
believe to be the most valuable book
on intelligence reform today. It will
be widely read within the community,
as it deserves to be. I hope it will be
equally relied on as we undertake
the difficult task of reconceptualizing
the daunting challenge of providing
understanding to leadership.’

‘Kathleen Frydl’s history of the G.I.
Bill illuminates both the legislation
itself and the way Congress operated

her study of the political history of

The Market Revolution
in America
Liberty, Ambition, and the
Eclipse of the Common Good
John Lauritz Larson
Purdue University, Indiana
Explores the lure of market capitalism
and the beginnings of industrialization
in the United States. Lawson’s research
combines an appreciation for enterprise
and innovation with recognition
of negative and unanticipated
consequences of the transition to
capitalism and relates economic
change to American freedom and self-
determination, links that remain relevant
today.
‘Synthesizing nearly fifty years of
scholarship on the market revolution,
John Larson succinctly and eloquently
argues that events in the first half
of the nineteenth century made the
United States into the capitalist and

liberal nation it is today. There is no
better brief summary of the market
revolution thesis than this book.’

Judicial Power
and Strategic
Communication
in Mexico
Jeffrey K. Staton
Emory University, Atlanta
Jeffrey K. Staton argues that
constitutional courts develop public
relations strategies to increase the
transparency of judicial behavior and
promote judicial legitimacy. Set in the
context of Mexico, he develops and tests
a positive political theory of institutions
that illuminates the connections
between democratization and the rule
of law.
Staton advances our understanding
of how courts are able to use
information to proactively shape their
strategic environment. As the first
major study of court-media relations
in new democracies, this is a major
contribution to the literatures on
comparative judicial politics and the
role of law in democratization.’

The Media and
the Far Right in
Western Europe
Playing the Nationalist Card
Antonis A. Ellinas
College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts
Examines the interplay of party and
media behavior to explain one of the
most important phenomena in Western
Europe: the rise of far-right parties.
To account for the divergent electoral
fortunes of these parties, it examines
how political parties and the media have
dealt with public concerns over national
identity.
‘Antonis Ellinas transcends
conventional accounts of the Far
Right’s success and failure in this
lucidly written book. Many scholars
have suggested that the media
shapes the development of these
parties, but Ellinas shows exactly why
and how it does. His argument that
mainstream parties, by first playing
and later retracting the nationalist
card, contributed to the success of
the Far Right is novel, persuasive,
and disturbing. And by taking a
temporal perspective, Ellinas moves
beyond the snapshot approaches that
have dominated the subfield. This
book – both rigorous and sensitive
to historical context – will not only
reshape our understanding of Far
Right parties. By linking the Far Right
phenomenon to broader issues in
party politics, political communication,
and nationalism and immigration,
Ellinas demonstrates its relevance to
students of comparative politics more
generally.’

The Military Transition
Democratic Reform of the Armed
Forces
Narcis Serra
CIBOB Foundation, Barcelona
Translated by Peter Bush
The reform of the armed forces is crucial
to the success of the transition to
democracy in any country. Narcís Serra,
a former Spanish Minister of Defence,
explains the steps necessary to reduce
the powers of the armed forces during
the process of democratic transition.
‘This meticulously researched volume
explains how the relationship between
the armed forces and politicians
can change from authoritarian
scientist but, as one of the longest-
serving defense ministers in a major
European state, someone who was
responsible for formulating and
implementing defense reform. Serra’s
lucid arguments and insights about
military politics in various political
and geographic contexts attest to his
broad intellectual vistas that extend
far beyond Spain and Europe. In short,
this is a terrific book that anyone
interested in democratization and
military affairs would read with much
profit.’

The Politics of
Electoral Reform
Changing the Rules of
Democracy
Alan Renwick
University of Reading
Elections lie at the heart of democracy,
and this book seeks to understand
how electoral systems are chosen. Alan
Renwick rejects the simple view that
electoral systems always reflect the
interests of the politicians in power, and
shows how voters and electoral activists
can have real power over reform.
‘Renwick’s creative application of
rational-choice inspired theoretical
frameworks to electoral system choice
is both innovative and enlightening.
Theoretically-informed qualitative
analysis of this sort is rare, and this
volume provides a much-needed
complement to the many quantitative
studies of electoral system design.’

Explaining
Institutional Change
Ambiguity, Agency, and Power
Edited by James Mahoney
Northwestern University, Illinois
and Kathleen Thelen
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
This book contributes to emerging
debates in political science and
sociology on institutional change. The
introductory essay proposes a new
framework for analyzing incremental
change, and subsequent chapters
provide empirical case studies from the
United States, Africa, Latin America, and
Asia.
‘Explaining Institutional Change is,
simply put, the best guide available
to the incremental processes of
institutional change that characterize
so much of social and political
life. Mahoney and Thelen have not
only assembled an impressive and
illuminating collection of essays
showing how and why institutional
change plays out as it does in a range
of important domains (including a
reflection on the field by Peter Hall
that would make the book worth
having even if it were the only
chapter). With their own powerful
synthesis of theories of incremental
institutional change, they also break
important new ground in institutional
analysis.’

relations what Elinor Ostrom has
done for common pool resource
management: helping us understand
how externalities can be overcome
through bottom-up, local solutions.
These remedies often surpass centrally
provided solutions because they are
designed to fit local needs, traditions,

chapters fill out the theory well and
offer excellent examples of the variety

Collective Preference
and Choice
Shmuel Nitzan
Bar-Ilan University, Israel
Using a series of exercises and
examples, this book looks at classical
aggregation problems that arise in
three closely related areas: social
choice theory, voting theory, and group
decision-making under uncertainty. It
explains these problems with reference
to a number of important contributions
to the study of collective decision-
making.
‘This is a first rate book, covering
basic social choice theory (Arrow, Sen,
Condorcet, Borda, etc.), as well as
group choice when individuals seek
the same objective but disagree on
how to bring it about – an area in
ideal for newcomers to the field, but
it will also be a valuable resource for
graduate students. For every page of
with solutions.’

Piracy and the State
The Politics of Intellectual
Property Rights in China
Martin Dimitrov
Dartmouth College, New Hampshire
Dimitrov demonstrates that the Chinese
state can be simultaneously weak and
strong in its capacity to enforce its
IPR laws. Offering the first systematic
analysis of all IPR enforcement avenues
in China, the book reveals significant
variation in the degree of rationalized
enforcement across different IPR
subtypes.
‘Piracy and the State is an
extraordinary book. Based on
unprecedented empirical work, this
richly learned volume breaks vital
new ground in our understanding of
intellectual property protection in
China. In so doing, it offers real insight
into the nature of the Chinese state in
general and into the ways in which
respect for legal institutions does
(and does not) develop. Martin
Dimitrov deserves much praise for this
impressive work.’

The Guest Worker
Question in Postwar
Germany
Rita Chin
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
This book provides the first English-
language history of the postwar labor
migration to West Germany. Drawing on
a wide range of sources, it shows how
the West German public struggled to
come to terms with millions of foreign
guest workers, especially Muslim Turks,
who arrived as temporary laborers but
quickly became permanent residents.
‘Rita Chin’s book makes a significant
contribution to the literature on the
labor migration and postwar German
history. It provides a fruitful model for
interdisciplinary scholarship on the
guest worker question and migration
more generally.’

developing world.
‘The revision of a doctoral

Economic Crises and
the Breakdown of
Authoritarian Regimes
Indonesia and Malaysia in
Comparative Perspective
Thomas B. Pepinsky
Cornell University, New York
Why do some authoritarian regimes
topple during financial crises, while
others steer through financial crises
relatively unscathed? In this book,
Thomas B. Pepinsky uses the experiences
of Indonesia and Malaysia and the
analytical tools of open economy
macroeconomics to answer this
question.
‘This is an outstanding piece
of scholarship, with innovative
theorizing, a creative use of
multiple methods, and a careful and
nuanced analysis of various country
experiences. Pepinsky’s book tackles
the elephant in the room in the crisis
transitions literature – why do some
crises lead to regime change while
most others do not? The recognition
that during crises adjustment policy
and regime survival are two battles
being fought simultaneously is an
important insight. Adjustment is
inherently political and Pepinsky’s
approach marries the economic
exigencies of a crisis with the political
realities leaders face, and explores
when these two things are (or are not)
compatible.’

environmental policies to mitigate
human impact on the environment.
The authors argue that the future
of environmental policies lies in
coordinated systems that simultaneously

Reputation and
Civil War
Why Separatist Conflicts Are So
Violent
Barbara F. Walter
University of California, San Diego
Why do self-determination disputes
between governments and ethnic
minorities often end in war? Barbara
Walter argues it is because governments
want to build tough reputations.
Through a wide array of evidence,
she demonstrates the importance of
reputation building for governments
in multiethnic countries and how
governments consciously invest in it.
‘… Walter shows that much of the
answer lies in whether a state is faced
with multiple potential challenges and
therefore has to defend its reputation
for holding firm. Rarely has such
an important puzzle been so well
explained.’

The Politics of Exile
in Latin America
Mario Sznajder
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
and Luis Roniger
Wake Forest University, North Carolina
The Politics of Exile in Latin America
addresses exile as a mechanism of
institutional exclusion. It is the first
systematic analysis of exile on a
continental and transnational basis
over a long-term perspective. The
project integrates theoretical hindsight
and empirical findings, analyzing the
importance of exile as a contemporary
phenomenon.
‘The Politics of Exile in Latin America
offers a wide-ranging and integrative
comparative study of political
translocation that has taken place
from the early nineteenth century
during the period of independence
to the 1960s and 1970s when the
continent was gripped by a series
of authoritarian dictatorships that
forced millions abroad. Sweeping in
scope yet detailed in its examination
of different periods in the history
of political exile, the authors offer
continuities and changes that occurred
as dissidents and outsiders were
forced to leave their countries. This
comprehensive and qualitative study
examines Latin America, including
Brazil, and the Caribbean as a whole
and offers historians, social scientists,
and the interested reader the most
insightful and inclusive overview of
this subject to date.’

Building Party
Systems in Developing
Democracies
Allen Hicken
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
This book addresses the question of why
a party system with a modest number
of nationally oriented political parties
emerges in some democracies but not
others. Analyzing the cases of Thailand
and the Philippines, Hicken argues that
aggregation incentives are a product of
the payoff to being a large party and the
probability if capturing that payoff.
‘Building Party Systems in Developing
Democracies is a welcome addition
to the growing literature on
democratization. While most scholars
are content to focus on electoral
rules, Hicken argues that this only
tells half of the story by giving pride
of place to political parties. This
book is theoretically sophisticated,
analytically rigorous and empirically
rich. It will certainly take its place
on the bookshelves of scholars and
practitioners alike.’

Elite Conflict and Inflation
Victor C. Shih

China are managed by members of the
Communist Party, yet economists do
not have a framework with which to
analyze the links between banking and

to analyze how elite politics impact both
monetary and banking policies.
‘Victor Shih has produced a deep
and rich analysis that links the
complexity of Chinese elite politics
to the monetary policies that have
defined China’s economic reforms. …
Factions and Finance in China is an
excellent addition to this literature,
representing deep and careful
research about Chinese politics and

for students of Chinese politics as well
as those interested in the complex
relationship between political and

Learning, Policy
Making, and
Market Reforms
Covadonga Meseguer
Center for Research and Teaching in Economics
(CIDE), Mexico City
This is the first study that tests the
impact of policy learning on economic
policy choices across time and space.
It supports the popular explanation
that, on average, governments around
the world adopted privatization and
trade liberalization, and sustained open
capital accounts, as a result of learning
from others.
‘Learning, Policy Making, and
Market Reforms is a benchmark
study of the influence of ideas on
policy changes. Why do politicians
undertake risky economic reforms?
In times of hardship and uncertainty,
do they simply emulate what other
governments do? Are they influenced
by the nature of the regime, the
ideology of the governments, the
proximity of elections, the social
and political costs of reforms? Or
are politicians rational learners,
searching for information, either
from their own past or from other
countries, about which policies work,
accordingly updating their initial
beliefs? The book tests a theoretically
sophisticated model of learning
with massive quantitative evidence
on the changes in the strategies of
economic development, programs of
privatization, IMF agreements, and
liberalization of capital accounts
that took place in the 1980s and
1990s, in both developing and
developed countries. The result is
an exceptionally insightful analysis
that will be an essential reference
for students of political economy and
comparative politics.’

Textbook
Public Finance and
Public Policy
Responsibilities and Limitations
of Government
Second edition
Arye L. Hillman
Bar-Ilan University, Israel
This second edition retains the first
edition’s themes of investigation of
responsibilities and limitations of
government. The purpose of the book
is to provide an accessible introduction
to the use of public finance and public
policy to improve on market outcomes.
‘Public choice, as an economic theory
of politics, emerged in the mid-
twentieth century because of gaps in
the research agenda of public finance.
Somewhat surprisingly, however,
modern public choice and public
finance research programs were never
fully integrated. This book admirably
meets this objective. It offers a
sophisticated and comprehensive
treatment of questions involving
when and why politics arises, how
politics can be predicted to work in
practice, and how limits can be placed
on political excesses. A well-informed,
well-written treatise useful for several
levels of readership.’

The Legitimacy Puzzle
in Latin America
Political Support and Democracy
in Eight Nations
John A. Booth
University of North Texas
and Mitchell A. Seligson
Vanderbilt University, Tennessee
Political scientists have worried about
the declining support of citizens for their
regimes (legitimacy) but have failed to
link it empirically to democratic stability.
This book addresses the ‘legitimacy
puzzle’, using exhaustive empirical
analysis of high-quality survey data from
eight Latin American nations.
fundamental question of the popular
legitimacy of democratic governments
in Latin America – and what shapes
these attitudes. Using a rich new wave
of cross-national surveys, Booth and
Seligson make a major contribution
to understanding the political
cultures of Latin American nations
in both theoretical and empirical
terms. It will become a landmark for
understanding the political attitudes
of Latin American publics, and the
consequences of legitimacy attitudes
on political behavior.’

The Political Uses of
Expert Knowledge
Immigration Policy and Social
Research
Christina Boswell
University of Edinburgh
Christina Boswell challenges the view
that politicians commission expert
research to improve government policy.
She suggests that policymakers are just
as likely to value expert knowledge
for other reasons: as a way of lending
authority to their decisions, or to signal
their capacity to make well-founded
decisions.
‘This book stands by itself in solving
the puzzle of why governmental
agencies and departments invest
in research if they don’t use it? I
am particularly taken by Boswell’s
ability to bring fresh evidence and an
original organizational-institutionalist
framework in the fields of policy
analysis and knowledge utilization.
By doing so, she goes several steps
beyond the Weberian and Foucaldian
accounts that currently dominate the
scene.’

The Politics of Welfare
State Reform in
Modernization in Hard Times
Silja Häusermann
Universität Zürich
This book proposes a new theoretical
and methodological approach to the
study of welfare state change through
an analysis of pension reforms in
continental Europe. It shows that

governments were able to construct
support for pension reform by
taking advantage of an increasingly
multidimensional policy space to create
political coalitions.
‘This outstanding book both
challenges and advances existing
theories of policy processes in
industrial democracies. Through
the very important case of welfare
policy, Häusermann shows that policy
change does occur (thus the challenge
to the immobility view), and that
social structural shifts drive policy
change (thus the challenge to the
primacy of institutions view). She
does this with rigorous methodology
and data to show how governments
can lead in forming strategies of
political exchange and coalition
building, grounding the importance of
leadership and choice in the context of
social influences over time. This result
is a model of political analysis that
reaches beyond the specific country
and issue area to a general analysis
of political processes. To be read by
everyone!’

Political Branding
in Cities
The Decline of Machine Politics
in Bogota, Naples, and Chicago
Eleonora Pasotti
University of California, Santa Cruz
Pasotti examines how cities suffering for
decades from poor government made
a transition to brand politics to break a
cycle of inertia and usher in reform. The
theory of brand politics shows mayors
emulating marketing mavericks; citizens
support mayors’ brands because they
Comparative politics 33
seek to become carriers of the same
values.
‘In Political Branding in Cities,
Eleonora Pasotti gracefully lifts the
veil of standard social scientific
analysis, and exposes the profound
shifts occurring in municipal politics
across different regions of the world.
From Bogotá to Chicago and Naples,
fiscal retrenchment, direct elections,
and low party discipline have led
to the decline of patronage politics.
With notable analytical aplomb,
Pasotti also traces the increasing
salience of political brands, and
lays out the logic of branding. She
masterfully demonstrates how
branding redefines the relationship
between urban political leaders and
citizenries; and more broadly, how
branding reconfigures the dynamics
that connect the formation of
civic identities, the mobilization of
public opinion, voter behavior, and
institutional change. Serious students
of public affairs stand to profit greatly

Presidential
Impeachment and
the New Political
Instability in
Latin America
Aníbal Pérez-Liñán
University of Pittsburgh
For two decades, students of
presidentialism have argued that
extreme executive-legislative conflict
ignites military interventions. However,
in recent years many Latin American
presidents have been removed from
office without democratic breakdowns.
This book addresses the emerging
paradox of unstable governments in the
midst of stable democracies.
‘… Pérez-Liñan’s Presidential
Impeachment is an exceptional piece
of political science scholarship …
very well written, the arguments are
persuasive and the empirical analysis
is superb. This book should be used
in any upper-level undergraduate
course and graduate seminar on Latin
American politics and institutions.
… a very valuable contribution to
our understanding of the current
performance of democratic regimes in
Latin America.’

Orit Kedar
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
This book proposes an institutionally

are concerned with policy, and
therefore their vote reflects post-

government), which dilutes their vote.
This simple but overlooked principle
allows Kedar to explain a broad array
of seemingly unrelated electoral
regularities.

Political Competition,
Partisanship, and
Policy Making in
Latin American
Public Utilities
Maria Victoria Murillo
Columbia University, New York
Murillo’s analysis of the Latin American
electricity and telecommunications
sectors shows that different degrees of
electoral competition and the partisan
composition of the government were
crucial in resolving policymakers’ tension
between the interests of voters and
the economic incentives generated by
private corporations.
‘This is a splendid, shrewd book on
the political economy of policy reform
and policy making in Latin America.
Focusing on the regulation of two key
economic sectors, telecommunications
and electricity, Murillo shows that,
even at the height of the liberalization
and privatization waves of the last
decades, electoral competition
and the partisan composition of
governments crucially mattered to
explain how politics and distributional
considerations shape the economy.
This is a very welcome rebuttal of
the convergence and globalization
literatures and a must-read book for
any political economist.’

Fiscal Governance
in Europe
Mark Hallerberg
Hertie School of Governance, Berlin and Emory
University, Atlanta
Rolf Rainer Strauch
European Central Bank, Frankfurt
and Jürgen von Hagen
Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn
This book presents a theoretical
framework to discuss how governments
coordinate budgeting decisions. Based
on original research on European Union
countries from 1985 to 2004, the
authors argue that the effectiveness of a
given form of fiscal governance depends
crucially upon the underlying political
system.
‘Over the past several years,
Mark Hallerberg, Rolf Strauch and
Jürgen von Hagen have made path
breaking contributions on the way
fiscal institutions shape budgetary
behaviour and on the interplay
between fiscal policy and politics in
Europe. This book is the summa of
such intellectual journey. It brings
together and updates their theoretical
and empirical research and provides
new insights on fiscal governance in
the European Union. As the financial
crisis shakes the foundations of
policy making in Europe and beyond,
this book will help understand why
countries’ budgetary policies will
react in different ways and how
fiscal institutions may evolve as a
response to new economic and policy
challenges.’

The Market and
the Masses in
Latin America
Policy Reform and Consumption
in Liberalizing Economies
Andy Baker
University of Colorado, Boulder
Baker’s study reveals that most Latin
American citizens are enthusiastic about
globalization because it has lowered
services. Citizens’ sharp awareness of
these consumer consequences informs
Baker’s argument that a new political
economy of consumption has replaced
a previously dominant politics of labour
and class in Latin America.
‘This fine study provides a
comprehensive analysis of the way
mass publics in Latin America view
market reforms. Andy Baker shows
that people are inclined to evaluate
trade liberalization quite differently
from privatization, and he argues
persuasively that such judgments
are based not on their assets or their
position in the labor market but on
consumer interests and ‘top-down’
appeals by competing political elites.
This is a book that is very timely in
terms of current issues facing Latin
America. It will be of considerable
interest to Latin American specialists,

to people with more general interests
in the politics of market reform, and
to students of political economy.’

Challenging
Neoliberalism in
Latin America
Eduardo Silva
University of Missouri, St Louis
At the turn of the twentieth century,
the rise of diverse social movements
protesting the free market and
advocating socialization ushered in
governments in Argentina, Bolivia,
Ecuador, and Venezuela. Silva offers the
first comparative account, analyzing the
motive for the protests and the power of
the movements behind them.
‘Waves of social protest against
market liberalization have radically
transformed Latin America’s
political landscape since the 1990s,
but there has been considerable
variation in the levels and patterns
of popular mobilization across cases.
Eduardo Silva explains why in this
pathbreaking analysis of how diverse
social actors mobilize and coordinate
resistance to market society. Silva’s
account makes a major contribution
to the study of social movements in
Latin America, and it sheds new light
on the role of social actors in the
demise of the ‘Washington consensus’
shift to the Left that followed in its
wake.’

Contention and
Responsibility
Sarah A. Soule
Stanford University, California
This book examines anti-corporate
activism in the United States and traces
the shift brought about by deregulation
and the decline in organized labor,
which prompted activists to target
corporations directly. Soule provides a
nuanced understanding of the changing
focal points of activism directed at
corporations.
‘Social movements often target
corporations rather than governments
as a more direct means to achieve
social ends, from economic equality
accountability for negligence. Sarah
Soule’s Contention and Corporate
Social Responsibility examines why
corporations are targeted, what
combination of tactics is used,
and with what effect on corporate
practices and performance. This
engaging book will be of interest to
scholars, activists, and business people
alike.’

Religion, Class
Coalitions, and
Welfare States
Edited by Kees van Kersbergen
Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
and Philip Manow
Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany
This book explains why modern western
welfare states come in three variants:
a liberal-residual regime (Anglo-Saxon
countries); a generous universalist,
redistributive regime (Scandinavia); a
generous, occupationally fragmented
and non-redistributive regime
(continental Europe). The presence or
absence of religious conflicts which led
to the formation of religious parties is a
key factor in these different outcomes.

36 Comparative politics
Secularism and
State Policies
toward Religion
The United States, France, and
Turkey
Ahmet T. Kuru
San Diego State University
Why do secular states pursue different
policies toward religion? This book
examines the impact of ideological
struggles on public policy making.
Specifically, it analyzes why American
state policies are largely tolerant of
religion (‘passive secularism’), whereas
French and Turkish policies generally
prohibit its public visibility (‘assertive
secularism’).
‘Professor Kuru’s authoritative study,
written with remarkable precision,
asks taboo-breaking questions and
provides iconoclastic responses
to them in strict accordance with
the maxim facta non verba. First, it
shatters the deeply internalized myth
that Turkish laïcité is unquestionably
sui generis and thus cannot be
compared with any other case.
Second, it rebuffs the widely accepted
premise that Islam and secularism
are inherently incompatible, and that
assertive secularism would therefore
be the only working model for Muslim
societies. Third, it clearly shows
that in its application of assertive
secularism Turkey has gone far beyond
its historical model, the French laïcité
of the Third Republic. This exemplary
piece of scholarship further offers
invaluable insight into the present-day
tug-of-war over secularism in Turkey.’

Reality Television
and Arab Politics
Contention in Public Life
Marwan M. Kraidy
University of Pennsylvania
Analyzes how reality television stirred
an explosive mix of religion, politics, and
sexuality, fuelling heated polemics over
cultural authenticity, gender relations,
and political participation in the Arab
world. It challenges the notion of a
monolithic ‘Arab Street’ and offers an
original perspective on Arab media.
‘Kraidy demolishes the notion that
Arab television is all about news
programs, and everything else is ‘mere
entertainment’. Reality Television
and Arab Politics leaves no doubt
that entertainment must be taken
seriously. This book is indispensable
for the study and teaching of Arab
media.’

The Internet and
Democratic Citizenship
Theory, Practice and Policy
Stephen Coleman
and Jay G. Blumler
Relations between the public and
political figures are in a period of
flux. New expectations and meanings
of citizenship are being entertained
and acted upon in combination with
an inexorable impoverishment of
mainstream political communication. The
Internet has the potential to improve
public communications and enrich
democracy.
‘The potential for the Internet to
support democracy is substantial,
but as yet unrealized. The authors
– two world-leading scholars of
political communication – provide a
penetrating synthesis of theory and
research to explain the limitation of
contemporary approaches to using
the Internet and related media to
enhance the communicative power
of citizens. Their analysis leads to a
bold prescription for creating a new
civic commons 2.0 that will enable
‘more deliberative democracy’. This is
an excellent scholarly book that will
stimulate and inform public debate
in a vital area of communication
research. It is must reading not only
for students of the iternet, but also
for anyone interested in the vitality of
democratic institutions and processes.’

Media and Political
Engagement
Citizens, Communication and
Democracy
Peter Dahlgren
Lunds Universitet, Sweden
One of the most difficult problems
facing Western democracy today is the
decline in citizens’ political engagement.
This book examines the media’s key
role in shaping the character of civic
engagement and its potential to shape
and enhance political engagement, as
involvement.
‘The vision that civic engagement in a
democracy will lead to a happier and
better quality of life for more people
is an article of faith. With an analysis
that is sobering but also passionate,
Peter Dahlgren offers good reasons
for believing that such a vision
remains desirable and obtainable, and
he shows how contemporary media
technologies and institutions are
central to any meaningful pursuit of
such a vision. But it is human agency
and political will, not machines and
bureaucratic structures, that are
central to this hopeful vision. Media
and Political Engagement is path-
breaking in its demonstration of the
profound nature of media institutions
as political institutions.’

Norms and Hierarchies in
International Society
Ann E. Towns
University of Delaware
Momentous changes over the last
century have advanced women’s status
around the globe. Women were barred
from public affairs a century ago, yet
equality is now pursued by most states.
Ann Towns explains these changes by
providing a novel account of how norms
work in international society.
‘In this outstanding book Ann Towns
provides a definitive account of
generally under-acknowledged
sea changes in the incorporation
of women in the state. Especially
noteworthy is Towns’ compelling
demonstration of the productive
power of international norms. This will
be required reading for constructivists,
critical scholars of hierarchy in
international society, and all
concerned with women and politics/

Analysing America’s advantages in trade,

America benefits from being the world’s
dominant power, arguing it is likely to
maintain its hegemonic position for the
foreseeable future.
‘With insight and verve, Carla
Norrlof makes a strong case for the

represents International Political

The International
Monetary Fund in
the Global Economy
Banks, Bonds, and Bailouts
Mark S. Copelovitch
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Mark Copelovitch demonstrates how the
politics and policies of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) have evolved
in response to fundamental changes
in patterns of financial globalization.
Combining statistical analysis with
detailed case studies, Copelovitch offers
an original explanation of the IMF’s
responses to financial crises over the last
three decades.
‘The International Monetary Fund
(IMF) is one of the world’s most
important economic institutions,
especially in times of crisis. Yet we
lack a full understanding of how
and why it operates as it does, and
in particular of the political forces
that affect it. In The International
Monetary Fund in the Global Economy,
Mark Copelovitch makes the case
that the IMF’s behavior responds

39
to the interests represented by the
major financial powers, as well as to
the goals of the IMF’s professional
staff. Copelovitch presents a series of
clear-headed, theoretically grounded
arguments, then subjects them to
empirical assessment. He analyzes
an original database of 197 IMF
programs over twenty years, and
then provides two extensive country
studies, of IMF relations with Mexico
and Korea in the 1980s and 1990s.
Both the statistical analysis and the
detailed narratives provide compelling
evidence for Copelovitch’s political
economy arguments. The International
Monetary Fund in the Global
Economy is a careful, persuasive
application of the ideas and methods
of modern political economy to a
crucially important topic. It will be
of interest to any serious scholar
or student of international political
economy, international relations, and
international economics.’

Realist Constructivism

international relations that focuses on
the corresponding elements within these
40 International relations, international organisations
two approaches rather than on a small
set of mutually exclusive paradigms.
‘As the first major work to examine
the realist-constructivist nexus in
detail, Realist Constructivism is a
must-read for IR scholars and students.
Barkin’s masterful synthesis of realism
and constructivism delineates fresh
analytical terrain and offers new
insights about international politics.
Comprehensive in both vision and
scope, Realist Constructivism is a
ground-breaking book and a major
contribution to international relations
theory.’

International Law
A New Theory with Practical
Applications
Brian D. Lepard
College of Law, University of Nebraska
This book sets out to articulate a
comprehensive theory of customary
international law that can effectively
resolve the conceptual and practical
enigmas surrounding it. It takes a
multidisciplinary approach and draws
insights from international law, legal
theory, political science, and game
theory. It is anchored in a sophisticated
ethical framework and explores the
interrelationships between customary
international law and ethics.

States, Citizens and
the Privatisation
of Security
Elke Krahmann
University of Bristol
Elke Krahmann examines the changing
roles of the state, the citizen and
the soldier. She focuses on national
differences with regard to the
outsourcing of military services to
private companies, and the specific
consequences of these differences
for the democratic control over the
legitimate use of armed force.
‘Elke Krahmann breaks new ground in
analyzing the privatization of security.
Looking through the lens of the social
contract provides a fresh theoretical
perspective and comparing not just
the United States and Britain but also
Germany offers novel empirics. Her
thoughtful argument should be of
interest to both academic and policy
audiences.’

Indivisible Territory
and the Politics
of Legitimacy
Jerusalem and Northern Ireland
Stacie E. Goddard
Wellesley College, Massachusetts
This book challenges the conventional
wisdom that territorial conflicts in
Jerusalem and Northern Ireland were
inevitable. Stacie Goddard’s research
shows that it was radical political
rhetoric, and not ancient hatreds, that
rendered these territories indivisible,
preventing negotiation and compromise
and leading to violence and war.
‘Stacie Goddard’s book makes
a sophisticated contribution to
the literature on legitimacy in
international politics and takes an
especially significant step forward in
bridging rationalist and constructivist
approaches to international conflict
and cooperation. Goddard deftly
uses network theory to develop
hypotheses about the effects of
legitimation rhetoric on bargaining,
and she provides a pathbreaking
articulation of the causal mechanisms
at work in the process by which
certain territories come to be seen as
indivisible.’

Asymmetric Warfare
in South Asia
The Causes and Consequences of
the Kargil Conflict
Edited by Peter R. Lavoy
National Intelligence Council
The 1999 Kargil conflict between India
and Pakistan was a landmark event not
because of its duration or casualties,
but because it contained a real risk of
nuclear escalation. This unique analysis
includes unprecedented access to Indian,
Pakistani, and U.S. government officials
and military officers actively involved in
the conflict.
‘Unlike most discussions of conflict
between the nuclear-armed nations
of South Asia, this combines
contributions from experts in
both of those countries, as well as
American perspectives. It is especially
comprehensive and balanced and
blends theory and policy analysis in
the best way.’

Carl Schmitt’s
International Thought
Order and Orientation
William Hooker
An unrepentant Nazi, Carl Schmitt is one
of the most divisive figures in twentieth
century political thought. This book
seeks to cut through the controversy to
but warns of the limitations of relying
on Schmitt in the search for answers to
modern problems.
‘Carl Schmitt presciently diagnosed
the demise of the traditional state
system, emergence of new ‘post-
national’ political and legal orders,
41
and some of the most dramatic recent
changes in warfare, and he did so
by fusing idiosyncratic theological
ideas with a deep knowledge of
political and legal theory. William
Hooker’s helpful volume is the first
to zoom in on Schmitt’s contributions
to international political theory.
Although both Schmitt’s enthusiasts
and detractors will disagree with
some of Hooker’s interpretations, his
volume marks an important attempt
to link the ever-controversial Schmitt
to contemporary debates about
international politics.’

David A. Koplow

technology: the pursuit of arms that are
deliberately crafted to be less powerful,
less deadly, and less destructive
than previous systems. By providing
a capacity to intervene deftly yet
effectively, ‘usable’ weaponry will allow
the military to accomplish its missions
under legal obligations, in accordance
to public relations realities, and under

The Israeli Peace
Movement
A Shattered Dream
Tamar S. Hermann
Tel-Aviv University
This book discusses the predicament
of the Israeli peace movement, which
experienced a fatal decline after the
launching of the 1993 peace process.
Hermann argues that the movement
contributed significantly to the
integration of new ideas for possible
solutions to the Middle East conflict in
the mainstream Israeli public discourse.
‘If peace is important to you – or
scares you – Tamar Hermann’s hard-
nosed assessment of the Israeli peace
movement is a must-read. Many
of its policy positions have been
internalized by much of the public,
yet the movement has been impotent
in creating the momentum to bring
about peace. Hermann’s solid analysis
reminds us that being right (correct)
on the left demands hard work and
political skill.’

‘Mobilizing for Human Rights is a
magisterial work of scholarship.
It substantially advances our
understanding of human rights law in

surely spark new ones. It constitutes
an outstanding achievement for

Visions of World
Community
Jens Bartelson
Lunds Universitet, Sweden
A world community has been seen as
a way of overcoming discord between

impose sovereign authority from above.
Jens Bartelson argues that the very
division of mankind into distinct peoples
which makes the idea compelling has
also been the main obstacle to its
successful realization.
‘This imaginative and erudite analysis
of changing relationships between
society, humanity and the cosmos
provides fresh insights into the
tensions between universalistic and
particularistic visions of community
– and a distinctive angle on how they
might yet be resolved.’

Yalta 1945
Europe and America at the
Crossroads
Fraser J. Harbutt
Emory University, Atlanta
This revisionist study of Allied diplomacy
from 1941 to 1946 challenges
Americocentric views of the period and
highlights Europe’s neglected role. Fraser
J. Harbutt, drawing on international
sources, shows that in planning for
the future Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin,
and others self-consciously operated
into 1945, not on ‘East/West’ lines
but within a ‘Europe/America’ political
framework characterized by the
plausible prospect of Anglo-Russian
collaboration and persisting American
detachment. Harbutt then explains the
destabilizing transformation around the
time of the pivotal Yalta conference of
February 1945, when a sudden series of
provocative initiatives, manipulations,
and miscues interacted with events to
produce the breakdown of European
solidarity and the Anglo-Soviet nexus,
an evolving Anglo-American alignment,
and new tensions that led finally to
the Cold War. This fresh perspective,
stressing structural, geopolitical, and
traditional impulses and constraints,
raises important new questions about
the enduringly controversial transition
from World War II to a cold war that no
statesman wanted.
‘The scholarly profession is much in
need of a new substantial scholarly
work on the Yalta conference, its
history and its legacy. Fraser Harbutt
has produced a masterly new account
of European-American relations
during the Second World War. Its easily
readable style is bound to appeal
to scholars as well as the general
public. This book is truly international
history at its best written by one of
the foremost and most knowledgeable
experts in this area.’

Investing in Protection
The Politics of Preferential Trade
Agreements between North and
South
Mark S. Manger
London School of Economics and Political
Science
Since the early 1990s there has been
an explosion of preferential trade
agreements between North and
South. Arguing that this is based on
competition for investment opportunities
rather than free trade, Mark Manger
offers a new perspective on the roles of
International relations, international organisations
the state and corporations in changing
patterns of international trade.
‘Manger skillfully illuminates how
foreign direct investment and
services – two critical dimensions of
globalization greatly neglected in
the political economy literature to
date – have driven the profusion of
preferential trading arrangements.
His detailed case studies persuasively
demonstrate how North-South
preferential arrangements raise new
barriers to cross-regional trade and
investment, sidelining the cause of
further trade liberalization in the
World Trade Organization.’

Why NATO Endures
Wallace J. Thies
Catholic University of America, Washington DC
Why NATO Endures examines military
alliances and their role in international
relations. Wallace J. Thies argues that
NATO marks an important departure
from all pre-1939 alliances, whose
members viewed their alliance partners
with suspicion and rivalry. In contrast,
NATO’s democratic members have
formed a mutually supportive alliance
fostered by a need for one another’s
approval in conducting foreign policy,
which allows NATO to endure.
‘For almost two decades, NATO’s
persistence has confounded continual
predictions of its timely demise.
Now, Wallace Thies tells us why.
In this historically informed and
theoretically insightful book, he shows
why NATO is different from previous
international alliances, why an alliance
of democracies has resilience, and why
NATO is likely to endure. This is one
of the most important books on NATO
since the end of the Cold War.’

Civilising Globalisation
Human Rights and the Global
Economy
David Kinley
University of Sydney
David Kinley provides compelling
arguments for why the wealth created
by economic globalisation must serve
the broad goals of social welfare
and human rights, and outlines the
43
shared responsibilities of states, the
World Bank, the IMF, the WTO and
multinational corporations for making
it happen.
‘Professor Kinley offers a thoughtful
assessment of two indispensable
elements in our society today: global
economic progress and human rights.
He points out that too often human
rights and trade experts have talked
past each other, failing to appreciate
the important linkages between
the two issues. It is undeniable
that a better understanding of the
relationship between the global
economy and human rights will
improve our capacity to both enhance
human rights and make the global
economy work better for all. Professor
Kinley’s book makes an important
contribution to this debate.’

The Search for
Reconciliation
Sino-Japanese and German-
Polish Relations since World War
II
Yinan He
Seton Hall University, New Jersey
Focusing on two case studies from East
Asia and Europe, Yinan He argues that
the key to interstate reconciliation is the
harmonization of national memories.
Conversely, memory divergence resulting
from national mythmaking harms long-
term prospects for reconciliation.
‘Yinan He is a uniquely talented
scholar of Chinese foreign policy.
Her work explores forces that could
make for peace or war, as with
German-Polish reconciliation, and
then applies those key lessons to
the potentially explosive tensions
in China-Japan rivalry. Rather than
seeing China as unique, Professor
He approaches Beijing’s continuing
unwillingness to truly reconcile with
Tokyo from a perspective of general
IR theory. The result is a pioneering
work which blazes new and better
paths in the study of Chinese foreign
policy. Professor He has produced an
excellent, informed and hard-headed
volume which makes important
contributions both to IR theory and
also to prospects for peace in a region
which contains dangerous embers that
could yet burst into fires of war.’

and the quest for security led officials
to equate prosperity and safety with
global engagement. They consequently
developed a ‘security ethos,’ which
ultimately damaged the nation’s
core values and impaired popular
participation in public affairs.
‘In the tradition of William Appleman
Core Values represents a broad
and provocative interpretation of
America’s role abroad since its
founding over three centuries ago.
U.S. leaders, William Walker contends,
abandoned the nation’s core values,
such as republican virtue, in the
pursuit of national security, which in
reality became aggressive expansion
and even empire. Walker offers an
intellectual tour de force that shows
a deep understanding of foreign
relations and the domestic causes and
consequences of U.S. actions abroad.’

The Threat of Force
in International Law
Nikolas Stürchler
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Switzerland
The United Nations Charter prohibits
states to threaten the use of force vis-
à-vis another state, but what conduct is
prohibited is unclear. This book fills this
gap by exploring what forms of military
coercion are permitted by international
law, when such coercion is justified, and
how norm-breakers are dealt with.
‘Nikolas Stürchler deserves not only
the credit for having submitted the
first comprehensive analysis on ‘Art.
2 (4)’s blind spot’, but also for having
approached this subject matter in a
well-balanced, historically informed
and excellently written manner. The
overall objective of his treatise is to
both explore the legal meaning of
the no-threat principle and to draw
conclusions on how it operates in
practice and it shall be stated right at
the outset that Stürchler succeeds in
achieving this aim. … Stürchler’s book
is an excellent piece of academic work
which deserves wide readership, not
only with a view to the detailed and
standard-setting examination of State
practice contained therein.’

Diplomatic Theory of
International Relations
Paul Sharp
University of Minnesota, Duluth
Paul Sharp argues that we can identify
a distinct diplomatic tradition of
international thought derived from
the unique position diplomats occupy
between the groups in which we live.
This tradition sheds new insights on big
questions about international systems
and societies and suggests innovative
ways of handling contemporary
international issues.
‘This is a wise, humane, and
fascinating account of diplomacy as
a philosophy of conduct intended to
enable peaceful relations between
collectivities in a pluralistic world.
Skeptical of grand claims and
human perfectibility, diplomats
seek to accommodate human
differences by preferring live-and-
let-live arrangements to definitive
solutions. Paul Sharp has written a
beautifully crafted book in the grand
tradition of the English School, full of
profound insights into the realities of
international relations, that deserves
to become a modern classic.’

International
Security in Practice
The Politics of NATO-Russia
Diplomacy
Vincent Pouliot
McGill University, Montréal
Analyzes relations between NATO and
Russia since the end of the Cold War to
draw lessons about how former enemies
can move beyond entrenched rivalry
at the diplomatic level. Paying special
attention to security practitioners’
viewpoints, Pouliot shows how
persisting power struggles have limited
progress between the two former
enemies.
‘Every decade, an International
Relations book comes along that
leaves a profound and lasting mark on
the discipline. International Security
in Practice suggests a paradigmatic
new ‘logic of practicality’, a
methodological approach for
empirically studying practices, and
an innovative theory of practice of
security communities. It also shows
lucidly and effectively why NATO and
Russia failed to constitute a security
community after the Cold War, what
was NATO’s role in such failure, and
what can still be practically done
to ‘seduce’ Russia back into the
communitarian mode of pursuing
security. This brilliant book pushes
the boundaries of IR theory forward
– read it!’

Who Governs
the Globe?
Edited by Deborah D. Avant
University of California, Irvine
Martha Finnemore
George Washington University, Washington DC
and Susan K. Sell
George Washington University, Washington DC
Most discussions of global governance
treat it as a structure or process, without
considering who does the governing.
Who Governs the Globe? offers a
theoretical framework for understanding
these non-state governors and applies
this framework to policy arenas
including arms control, human rights,
economic development and global
education.
‘This path-breaking collaborative
work illuminates complex social and
political relationships that constitute
governing authority in a changing
world. New questions provoke deeper
reflection than the term ‘global
governance’ typically stimulates.
Specialists need to read this fine book,
and so do students.’

The Cambridge History
of the Cold War
Volume 1: Origins
Edited by Melvyn P. Leffler
University of Virginia
and Odd Arne Westad
London School of Economics and Political
Science
This volume examines the origins,
causes and early years of the Cold
War. Leading scholars show how the
conflict evolved from the geopolitical,
ideological, economic, and socio-
political environment of the two world
wars and the interwar period as well
as examining how markets, ideas, and
cultural interactions affected political
discourse, diplomatic events, and
strategic thinking. Chapters focus not
only on the USA, the USSR, and Great
Britain, but also on other critical regions
such as Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and
East Asia. They deal not only with the
most influential statesmen of the era but
also address the issues that mattered
most to peoples around the globe:
food, nutrition, and resource allocation;
demography and consumption;
ethnicity, race, and religion; science and
technology; national autonomy, self-
determination, and sovereignty. In so
doing, the book illuminates how people
worldwide shaped the evolution of the
increasingly bipolar conflict, and, in turn,
were ensnared by it.

of the Cold War
Volume 2: Crises and Détente
Edited by Melvyn P. Leffler
University of Virginia
and Odd Arne Westad
London School of Economics and Political
Science
Volume Two of The Cambridge
History of the Cold War examines the
developments that made the Cold War
into a long-lasting international system
during the 1960s and 1970s. Leading
scholars explain how the Cold War
seemed to stabilize after the Cuban
Missile Crisis in 1962 and how this
sense of increased stability developed
into the detente era of the early 1970s.
They also outline how conflicts in the
Third World, as well as the interests and
ideologies of the superpowers, eroded
the detente process. The volume delves
into the social and economic histories of
the conflict, processes of integration and
disintegration, arms races, and the roles
of intelligence, culture, and national
identities. Discussing the newest
findings on US and Soviet foreign
policy, on key crises, on policies in and
outside of Europe, and on alliances and
negotiations, this authoritative volume
will define Cold War studies for years
to come.

The Cambridge History
of the Cold War
Volume 3: Endings
Edited by Melvyn P. Leffler
University of Virginia
and Odd Arne Westad
London School of Economics and Political
Science
This volume examines the evolution
of the Cold War from the Helsinki
Conference of 1975 until the Soviet
collapse in 1991. Leading scholars
analyze the economic, social, cultural,
religious, technological, and geopolitical
factors that shaped the policies that
ended the Cold War, looking at the
personalities and policies of Carter
and Reagan, Brezhnev and Gorbachev,
Thatcher, Kohl, and Deng Xiaoping. They
show how events throughout the world
shaped the evolution of Soviet-American
relations and also explore the legacies
of the super-power confrontation in
a comparative and trans-national
perspective. Penetrating chapters
examine how the Cold War affected and
was affected by the environment, the
global economy, consumer capitalism,
human rights and non-governmental
organizations. The authors also deal
with demographic trends, capital flows,
multilateral institutions, and geopolitical
configurations. This is international
history at its best: emphasizing social,
intellectual, economic and geostrategic
trends without losing focus on
personalities, politics, and human
agency.

The Cambridge History
of the Cold War
Edited by Melvyn P. Leffler
University of Virginia
and Odd Arne Westad
London School of Economics and Political
Science
The Cambridge History of the Cold
War is a comprehensive, international
history of the conflict that dominated
world politics in the twentieth century.
The three-volume series, written by
leading international experts in the field,
elucidates how the Cold War evolved
from the geopolitical, ideological,
economic, and socio-political
environment of the two World Wars and
the interwar era, and explains the global
dynamics of the Cold War international
system. It emphasises how the Cold War
bequeathed conditions, challenges and
conflicts that shape international affairs
today. With discussions of demography
and consumption, women and youth,
science and technology, ethnicity and
race, the volumes encompass the social,
intellectual, and economic history of
the twentieth century, shedding new
light on the evolution of the Cold War.
Through its various geographical and
national angles, the series signifies
a transformation of the field from a
national – primarily American – to a
broader international approach.

Contemporary
Capitalism and
its Crises
Social Structure of Accumulation
Theory for the 21st Century
Edited by Terrence McDonough
National University of Ireland, Galway
Michael Reich
University of California, Berkeley
and David M. Kotz
University of Massachusetts, Amherst
This volume analyses contemporary
capitalism and its crises based on a
theory of capitalist evolution known
as the social structure of accumulation
(SSA) theory. It applies this theory
to explain the severe financial and
economic crisis that broke out in 2008
49
and the kind of changes required to
resolve it.
‘The ‘Great Recession’ of 2007–2009
caught most social scientists by
surprise because they assumed that
modern societies had eliminated deep
economic crises. Fortunately, some
dissenting scholars have continued
to probe the regularities of economic
cycles of booms and busts. This
volume brings together some of the
best of that work at a time when both
scholars and policy makers urgently
need to revise their core beliefs. It
deserves a broad audience.’

Foreign Investments
and Political Regimes
The Oil Sector in Azerbaijan,
Russia, and Norway
Oksan Bayulgen
University of Connecticut
Drawing on three in-depth case
studies of oil-rich countries, Bayulgen
demonstrates that the link between
democratization and FDI is nonlinear:
both authoritarian regimes and
consolidated democracies have political
institutions that can offer attractive,
though different, policies for investors;
hybrid regimes have a much more
difficult time doing so.
‘Oksan Bayulgen has written an
original and provocative study
concerning what makes some
investment environments more
attractive than others for foreign
oil companies. In doing so, she
contests the conventional wisdom
that oil profits make foreign oil
companies impervious to risk and
that foreign investors necessarily
prefer authoritarian regimes. She
argues that foreign investors prefer
investment environments that are
stable and flexible, neither of which is
contingent on regime type. Her focus
on Azerbaijan and Russia makes this
book an important read for students
not only of political economy but also
of the postcommunist world.’

Globalization and
Competition
Why Some Emergent Countries
Succeed while Others Fall Behind
Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira
Getulio Vargas Foundation, Brazil
Globalization and Competition explains
why some middle-income countries,
principally those in Asia, grow fast
while others are not successful.
The author criticizes both old-style
developmentalism and the economics of
the Washington Consensus. He argues
instead for a ‘new developmentalism’
or third approach that builds on a
national development strategy. This
approach differs from the neoliberal
strategy that rich nations propose to
emerging economies principally on
macroeconomic grounds. Developing
countries face a key obstacle to growth,
namely, the tendency to overvaluate
foreign exchange. Instead of neutralizing
it, the policy that rich countries promote
mistakenly seeks growth through
foreign savings, which causes additional
appreciation of the national currency
and often results in financial crises
rather than genuine investment.
‘At last, a ‘new something’ that is
really new. Bresser-Pereira carefully
creates the concept of ‘new
developmentalism’ to show the lines
along which old national policies
are being transformed into vigorous
global efforts to catch up. A scholarly
work that is in tune with the times.’

Democracy and
Economic Openness
in an Interconnected
System
Complex transformations
Quan Li
Texas A & M University
and Rafael Reuveny
Indiana University, Bloomington
In this book, Li and Reuveny challenge
the narrow disciplinary focus that
is prevalent in the social sciences.
They adopt a truly interdisciplinary
social-scientific approach to study a
wide range of issues and interactions
that involve economic globalization,
democratic governance, income
inequality, economic development,
military violence, and environmental
degradation.
‘Democracy and Economic Openness in
an Interconnected System represents a
brilliant attempt to tackle some of the
world’s most fundamental issues with
academic candor, statistical eloquence,
and policy insights, heightening
the awareness of human promises,
limitations, and opportunities as
well as contributing to an ever-
enriching research platform that cuts
across disciplines and fields. It is an
important book to read and share.’

Financial Market
Bubbles and Crashes
Harold L. Vogel
Despite the thousands of articles and
the millions of times that the word
‘bubble’ has been used in the business
press, there still does not appear to
be a cohesive theory or persuasive
empirical approach with which to
study ‘bubble’ and ‘crash’ conditions.
This book presents a plausible and
accessible descriptive theory and
empirical approach to the analysis of
such financial market conditions. It
advances such a framework through
application of standard econometric
methods to its central idea, which is that
side rationed demand. From this basic
idea, an elasticity of variance concept
is developed. It is further shown that a
behavioral risk premium can probably be
measured and related to the standard
equity risk premium models in a way
that is consistent with conventional
theory.
‘This book looks at bubbles more
deeply than any other. Recommended
for anyone who follows finance or is
interested in the roots of the financial
crisis.’

From Asian to Global
Financial Crisis
An Asian Regulator’s View of
Unfettered Finance in the 1990s
and 2000s
Andrew Sheng
This is a unique insider account of the
new world of unfettered finance which
examines how old mindsets, market
fundamentalism, loose monetary policy,
carry trade, lax supervision, greed,
cronyism, and financial engineering
caused both the Asian crisis of the
late 1990s and the global crisis of
2008–2009.
‘In this fascinating study, Andrew
Sheng combines the insights of a well-
trained macroeconomist, a hard-nosed
financial supervisor, and an astute
inside observer of Asian politics and
culture. The result is a broad-ranging,
occasionally idiosyncratic, and always
thought-provoking analysis of the
Asian financial crisis; and a trove of
lessons for thinking about the current
global crisis.’

Labor in the Era
of Globalization
Edited by Clair Brown
University of California, Berkeley
Barry J. Eichengreen
University of California, Berkeley
and Michael Reich
University of California, Berkeley
The last quarter of the twentieth century
was marked by increasing insecurity
for workers in an era of globalization.
In this volume, prominent scholars
from the United States, Europe, and
Japan analyze the causes of the decline
in labor’s global fortunes, including
deregulation, technological change, and
global competition.
‘The essays in this volume drill down
below the surface to provide rich
explanations for three decades of
stagnant wages, rising inequality, and
increasing income insecurity. Without
ignoring the effects of globalization,
immigration, deregulation, and
weakening of employment protection,
the authors introduce important new
analyses that incorporate variously
institutions and cultural norms or
examine less-studied linkages such as
the impact of financial deregulation
on labor markets. This is an important
book with fresh insights into the
causes and consequences of these
developments.’

Economic Origins
of Dictatorship
and Democracy
Daron Acemoglu
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and James A. Robinson
Harvard University, Massachusetts
This book develops a framework
for analyzing the creation and
consolidation of democracy. Different
social groups prefer different political
institutions because of the way they
allocate political power and resources.
Thus democracy is preferred by the
majority of citizens, but opposed by
elites. Dictatorship nevertheless is
not stable when citizens can threaten
social disorder and revolution. In
response, when the costs of repression
are sufficiently high and promises of
concessions are not credible, elites
may be forced to create democracy. By
democratizing, elites credibly transfer
political power to the citizens, ensuring
social stability. Democracy consolidates
when elites do not have strong incentive
to overthrow it. These processes depend
on (1) the strength of civil society, (2)
the structure of political institutions, (3)
the nature of political and economic
crises, (4) the level of economic
inequality, (5) the structure of the
52 Political economy
economy, and (6) the form and extent of
globalization.
‘This path-breaking book is among the
most ambitious, innovative, sweeping,
and rigorous scholarly efforts in
comparative political economy and
political development. It offers a
broad, substantial new account of
the creation and consolidation of
democracy. Why is the franchise
extended? How do elites make reform
believable and avoid expropriation?
Why do revolutions nevertheless
occur? Why do new democracies
sometimes collapse into coups and
repression? When is repression
abandoned? Backed by a unified
analytic model, historical insight,
and extensive statistical analysis, the
authors’ case is compelling.’

Principles of Conflict
Economics
A Primer for Social Scientists
Charles H. Anderton
College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts
and John R. Carter
College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts
Drawing on a half-century of
scholarship, this book presents a primer
on the key themes and principles of
conflict economics. Although much
work in the field is abstract, it is made
accessible to scholars, students, and
policymakers by relying on historical
data, relatively simple graphs, and
intuitive narratives.
‘This is the most intuitive and
comprehensive book on conflict
economics available. The authors
are to be commended for showing
just how much about conflict can
be understood using the basics of
production possibilities, consumer
choice, and game theory at the
principles level. The coverage of
conflict data sets is also novel.
Anderton and Carter set the mark
for establishing conflict economics
alongside more traditional
undergraduate economic field
courses such as labor and industrial
organization.’

The Invisible
Hand of Peace
Capitalism, The War Machine,
and International Relations
Theory
Patrick J. McDonald
University of Texas, Austin
The Invisible Hand of Peace shows that
the domestic institutions associated
with capitalism, namely private property
and competitive market structures, have
promoted peace between states over
the past two centuries. It employs a
wide range of historical and statistical
evidence to illustrate both the broad
applicability of these claims and their
capacity to generate new explanations
of critical historical events.
‘Thoroughly researched, cogently
argued, and clearly written,
McDonald’s The Invisible Hand
of Peace draws out the essential
contribution that capitalism, private
property, and free trade make to the
liberal peace. McDonald insightfully
combines political theory, quantitative
analysis, and case studies in a way
that illuminates both international
history and contemporary policy
debates.’

The Politics of Uneven
Development
Thailand’s Economic Growth in
Comparative Perspective
Richard F. Doner
Emory University, Atlanta
Why do some middle-income countries
diversify their economies but fail to
upgrade? Focusing on institutional
capacities and political pressures, the
book analyzes Thai development in
comparison with both weaker and
stronger competitors, revealing that
the institutional capacities necessary
for economic upgrades are political in
origin.
‘Rick Doner has long argued that
the study of development requires a
close consideration of how industries
evolve. In this important new book
on Thailand, he combines his deep
knowledge of the country with
compelling theoretical arguments
about the institutional determinants
of upgrading and long-run growth.’

Imperfect Union
Representation and Taxation in
Multilevel Governments
Christopher R. Berry
University of Chicago
Special purpose jurisdictions constitute
the most common form of local
government in the United States today.
This book offers the first political theory
of special purpose jurisdictions and
provides extensive empirical analyses of
the politics and finances of these often
overlooked but increasingly influential
governments.
‘In Imperfect Union, Christopher R.
Berry forcefully and adeptly argues
that the Tiebout model of efficiently
competing local government no
longer comports with the structure
of local political institutions. He
demonstrates how the vertical
overlap of local governments creates
a common pool resource problem
wherein governments vie for pieces
of the tax base. Berry’s work raises
important questions about whether
voters can navigate and control the
complex jumble of special-purpose
governments that affect almost
every aspect of their lives. This book
should make political scientists
and economists reconsider the
assumptions that have served as the
basis for much of the research on
local government finance for nearly
half a century and should be required
reading in any course on local
government, fiscal policy, and modern
democracy.’

Ruling Europe
The Politics of the Stability and
Growth Pact
Martin Heipertz
European Investment Bank, Luxembourg
and Amy Verdun
University of Victoria, British Columbia
Foreword by Jean-Claude Juncker
One cannot understand the euro
without understanding the Stability
and Growth Pact. The SGP is central
to Economic and Monetary Union in
Europe since it regulates the fiscal
policies of EU Member States. This
book analyses the fraught history and
politics of the SGP from its origins to the
present.
‘This is a major and timely study
of a central issue area in European
integration that goes to the very heart
of the complex relations between the
EU and its Member States, namely
fiscal policies. The authors make
effective use of European integration
theories to elucidate and explain how
these relations have evolved in the
context of Economic and Monetary
Union. The result is a book that is
essential reading for all students of
European integration and especially
for those working in political
economy.’

Europe as the
Would-be World Power
The EU at Fifty
Giandomenico Majone
European University Institute, Florence
Despite official optimism the EU system
has failed to deliver a satisfactory
growth performance, and discontent
is beginning to grow. Giandomenico
Majone explores the reasons behind
this failure, arguing that only an open
acknowledgement of the obsolescence
of the traditional methods can stem the
rising tide of Euro-scepticism.

Europe since 1980
Ivan T. Berend
University of California, Los Angeles
Ivan Berend tells the dramatic story
of the economic, social, political, and
cultural transformation of Europe
during the transition from the Cold
War to European Union, charting the
overwhelming impact of the collapse
of communism on every aspect of
European life and asking which way
now for Europe?
‘This important book is contemporary
history as it should be written.
Against a triple background of central
European, communist-era and US
experience, Ivan Berend displays and
critically analyses the situation and
prospects of Europe, especially since
the integration of the ex-communist
states. He does so with his unique
combination of information, lucidity,
realism and sweeping historical
perspective. One cannot fail to learn
from, and sometimes to be surprised
by, this coolly comparative diagnosis
of Europe’s problems.’

The Struggle for
Arab Independence
Riad el-Solh and the Makers of
the Modern Middle East
Patrick Seale
The Middle East, as we know it
today, was shaped in the violent and
tumultuous years of the first half of
the 20th century. The roots of many
of the conflicts and crises which afflict
the region today can be traced back
to this period of wars, high drama and
the cavalier re-drawing of maps. Patrick
Seale, a leading historian of the region,
tells the story of the making of the
modern Middle East through the life
of Riad el-Solh, a Lebanese politician
who grew into the outstanding Arab
statesman of his time. Based on British
and French archives, and on numerous
interviews, the book pieces together
the history of the Arab struggle for
independence through the lives of those
most directly involved. It is an invaluable
resource for students and researchers,
and of compelling interest to anyone
who wants to know more about the
Middle East.

The International
Relations of the

F. Gregory Gause, III
University of Vermont
Gregory Gause’s book offers a
comprehensive account of the
international politics in the Persian Gulf
across nearly four decades. It traces
developments from the oil ‘revolution’
through the Iranian revolution, the
Iran-Iraq war and the Gulf war to the
toppling of Saddam Hussein in the
American-led invasion of Iraq.
‘The most authoritative account to
date of the tumultuous events that
marked the transition from British
to American predominance in the
Persian Gulf. Gause’s meticulous
reconstruction of regional political
interactions illuminates and informs,
while gently puncturing a handful of
myths that have sprouted during the
past half century to explain the many
twists and turns of revolution, war
and struggles for power in one of the
most turbulent regions in the world.’

Arabian Boundaries
New Documents
1966–1975
Edited by Richard Schofield
King’s College London
The Arabian Boundaries set is one of
the foundation stones of Cambridge
Archive Editions’ Middle East collection.
The original set, Arabian Boundaries
1853–1960, set out clearly to trace
the creation and subsequent changes
to the boundaries of the Gulf and
peninsula states using primary
documents researched from the British
Government archives. Regular release
of the Government material means
that updates to the status of the
boundaries examined become available
and we have already produced Arabian
Boundaries 1961–1965. A further
10-year period of files has become
55
available. The new material is of
particular interest covering, as it does,
the intense period of diplomatic activity
engendered by the announcement of
the British Government, in 1968, of
Gulf States by 1971. The material will be
arranged boundary by boundary, in the
same order as the previous collection
and will consist of approximately 11000
pages.

Second edition
Fawaz A. Gerges

Fawaz Gerges’ book on al Qaeda and
the jihadist movement has become a
classic in the field since it was published
in 2005. Revisiting The Far Enemy in this
new edition, Gerges shows that not only
have the jihadists split ranks, but those
who previously supported al Qaeda
are condemning its tactics as violent,
unethical, and out of accord with the
true meaning of jihad.

War and Memory
in Lebanon
Sune Haugbolle
University of Copenhagen
From 1975 to 1990, Lebanon endured
one of the most protracted and bloody
civil wars of the twentieth century. Sune
Haugbolle’s timely and often poignant
book chronicles the battle over ideas
that emerged from the wreckage
of that war. Through an analysis of
different cultural productions – media,
art, literature, film, posters, and
architecture – the author shows how
the recollection and reconstruction of
political and sectarian violence that
took place during the war have helped
in Lebanon’s healing process. He also
shows how a willingness to confront the
past influenced the popular uprising in
Lebanon after the assassination of Prime
Minister Rafiq Hariri.
‘With great analytical skill, Haugbolle
presents a fascinating account of
the different ways in which the
Lebanese remember their civil wars
in opposition to an official stance
that, far from seeking truth and
reconciliation, attempts to distort the
memories and even obliterate them
from popular culture.’

compares Pakistan’s national language

revealing very different outcomes. These
large multiethnic states offer insights for
the understanding of culture, identity,

‘Alyssa Ayres has written an important
and compelling account of the impact
and influence of language and culture
on one of the twentieth century’s
most dramatic stories – the creation
of Pakistan as the very first nation
born of a religion. She reveals the
language has played in shaping
nationalism and culture in modern
Pakistan. Dr Ayres is one of our finest

Imperial Alchemy
Nationalism and Political Identity
in Southeast Asia
Anthony Reid
National University of Singapore
Using Southeast Asia as an example,
this book tests contemporary theory
about the relation between modernity,
nationalism, and ethnic identity. The
author develops his own typology to
better fit the formation of political
identities such as the Indonesian, Malay,
Chinese, Acehnese, Batak and Kadazan.
‘Imperial Alchemy is a masterful
historical account of how
homogenizing ideologies and
structures of the modern state
transformed an already diverse set
of identities into the current myriad
forms of nationalist and political
identities. Using his remarkable
depth as one of the most respected
historians of Southeast Asia, Reid
skillfully traces the evolution of
diverse political identities in various
locations of the region, from their
colonial legacies to the modern day,
without sacrificing the richness of
precision and detail. This book is a
major contribution to the study of

A History of Thailand
Second edition
Chris Baker
and Pasuk Phongpaichit
Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand
In A History of Thailand, Chris Baker
and Pasuk Phongpaichit reveal how a
world of mandarin nobles and unfree
labour evolved into a rural society of
smallholder peasants and an urban
society populated mainly by migrants
from southern China. They trace how
new ideas of time and space, and a
traditional polity was transformed into a
new nation-state under a strengthened
monarchy. The authors cover the
contests between urban nationalists,
ambitious generals, communist
rebels, business politicians, and social
movements to control the nation-state
and redefine its purpose. They describe
the dramatic changes wrought by a
booming economy, globalization, and
the evolution of mass society. Finally,
they show how Thailand’s path is still
being contested by those who believe
in change from above and those who
fight for democracy and liberal values.
Drawing on new Thai-language research,
this second edition brings the Thai story
up to date and includes a new section
on the 2006 coup and the restoration of
an elected government in 2008.

Australian
politics
Reclaiming Patriotism
Nation-Building for Australian
Progressives
Tim Soutphommasane
Oxford University
Affronted by the xenophobic nationalists
who stalked the land during the Howard
years, many progressive Australians have
rejected a love of country, forgetting
that there is a patriotism of the liberal
left that at different times has advanced
liberty, egalitarianism, and democratic
citizenship. Tim Soutphommasane, a
first-generation Australian and political
philosopher who has journeyed from
Sydney’s western suburbs to Oxford
University, re-imagines patriotism as
a generous sentiment of democratic
renewal and national belonging. In
accessible prose, he explains why our
political leaders will need to draw upon
the better angels of patriotism if they
hope to inspire citizens for nation-
building, and indeed persuade them
to make sacrifices in the hard times
ahead. As we debate the twenty-first
century challenges of reconciliation
and a republic, citizenship and climate
change, Reclaiming Patriotism proposes
a narrative we have to have.
‘The progressives have been the ones
asking the interesting questions of
Australian identity: our relationship
with Asia, how to make reconciliation
work, how to balance enterprise
with fairness and the case for saving
Australia’s battered degraded
environment. So it’s fitting that Tim
Soutphommasane makes the case
for progressive politics in defining
Australian patriotism. When right-
wingers claim the national story as
their own – white picket fences, Don
Bradman, Gallipoli – we need books
like this to remind us that Australian
citizenship belongs to all of us.’

Politics (general)

Accommodation or Resistance
Edited by Jacques Bertrand

University of Ottowa
As countries in Asia try to create
unified polities, many face challenges
from minority groups within their own
borders seeking independence. This
volume brings together international
experts on countries in all regions of
Asia to debate how differently they have
responded to this problem.
‘This book offers an unrivalled
collection of essays on the (mis)
across Asia, in terms of separatist
challenges and various efforts to
accommodate them through various
forms of autonomy and federalism.
The book is certain to become the
focal point of reference for scholarly
debate on such themes. Each and
every essay in the volume rewards
reading and rereading, and the volume
as a whole is greater than the sum of

light it sheds on problems of
managing multi-nationalism in Asia.’

Matthew N. Beckmann finds modern

Second edition
Andrew Dessler
Texas A & M University
and Edward A. Parson
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
The second edition of this acclaimed
book has been brought completely up
to date to reflect the rapid movement
of events related to climate change. It
provides an integrated treatment of the
science, economics, policy, and politics
of climate change, for the educated non-
specialist, and courses in environmental
policy or climate change.
‘This timely, informative and well-
written book does an excellent job
of explaining, in language accessible
to everyone, the scientific basis for
our current understanding of global
warming and climate change, as
well as societal implications and the
political barriers to sound, rational
policy. Its co-authors are well
in public policy. I recommend it to
anyone who wishes to gain a better
understanding of this complex issue
– what the debate is all about – and
as a core textbook for introductory
courses on the environment, climate
change, or public policy.’

Reason, Religion,
and Democracy
Dennis C. Mueller
Universität Wien, Austria
Emphasizes the difference between
religion and science as means for
understanding causal relationships, but
it focuses more heavily on the challenge
religious extremism poses for liberal
democratic institutions. It discusses
human psychology as well as the salient
characteristics of all religions, and
contrasts religion and science as systems
of thought.
‘Mueller’s new book tackles a very
a very broad, but very fine brush.
The first half of the book provides a
biological explanation for the origin of
both reason and religion and explores
how reason and religion have affected
the development of civilization and
have, in turn, been affected by those
civilizations. The second half of the
book links religion and rationality
to issues in contemporary politics.
It focuses on such issues as the
relationship between education,
religion, and democracy; the effects of
emigration; and constitutional design.
I am impressed by the book and
with the project itself. I found myself
broadly sympathetic with the book’s
arguments and conclusions, and even
where I disagree, the arguments are
interesting and provocative.’

History of Inner Asia
The Chinggisid Age
Edited by Nicola Di Cosmo

Allen J. Frank
and Peter B. Golden
Rutgers University, New Jersey
This volume centres on the history and
legacy of the Mongol World Empire
founded by Chinggis Khan and his
sons, including its impact upon the
modern world. An international team
of scholars examines the political and
cultural history of the Mongol empire,
its Chinggisid successor states, and
the non-Chinggisid dynasties that
came to dominate Inner Asia in its
wake. Geographically, it focuses on the
continental region from East Asia to
Eastern Europe. Beginning in the twelfth
century, the volume moves through
to the establishment of Chinese and
Russian political hegemony in Inner Asia
from the sixteenth to the nineteenth
centuries. Contributors use recent
research and new approaches that
have revitalized Inner Asian studies to
highlight the world-historical importance
of the regimes and states formed during
and after the Mongol conquest. Their
Politics (general) 61
conclusions testify to the importance of
a region whose modern fate has been
overshadowed by Russia and China.

This book presents the latest research on
the critical issue of whether the world
can adapt to climate change. Examining
how humans and ecosystems respond to
role played by culture and governance
in this, it is essential reading for
researchers, policymakers, practitioners,
and graduates.
‘This book is a major contribution to
a subject that has hitherto been far
too little studied and commented
on. ‘Adaptation’ to climate change
sounds a simple idea, but turns out
to be a complex and problematic one.
Everyone involved in the debate about
how to cope with global warming
will profit by studying the diverse
contributions this volume contains.’

gap and describes law and morals as
working together in a way that isn’t
really controversial, just hard. It requires
officials to work for the common good
and in good faith, and to put the people
over party, money, and negligence. Real

Measuring Identity
A Guide for Social Scientists
Edited by Rawi Abdelal
Harvard Business School
Yoshiko M. Herrera
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Alastair Iain Johnston
Harvard University, Massachusetts
and Rose McDermott
University of California, Santa Barbara
Abdelal, Herrera, Johnston, and
McDermott have brought together
leading scholars from a variety of
disciplines to consider the conceptual
and methodological challenges
associated with treating identity as a
variable, offer a synthetic theoretical
framework, and demonstrate the
possibilities offered by various methods
of measurement.
‘With its momentous theoretical,
methodological, and empirical sweep,
this tour de force in constructivist
political science shows how to do
studies that are both context-sensitive
and generalizable across contexts.
Here one learns about measures of
social separation and graded ethnicity;
incongruence analysis of identity
structures in leader statements;
constructivist datasets on ethnicity
and institutions, textual analysis
for identifying dominant identity
discourses within a country – and
much more. A must read for students
of identity in politics and society as
well as for policy analysts who seek
rigorous methods to make sense
of political and social discourses
decisively affecting key domestic and
international issues.’

Terrorism and Torture
An Interdisciplinary Perspective
Edited by Werner G. K. Stritzke
University of Western Australia, Perth
Stephan Lewandowsky

David Denemark
University of Western Australia, Perth
Joseph Clare
University of Western Australia, Perth
and Frank Morgan
University of Western Australia, Perth
Scholars from various disciplines
examine the complex factors
contributing to terrorist acts and state-
sponsored torture, and the potential
linkage between these two behaviours.
They also consider the strategies that
might reduce the threat of terrorist acts
and the perceived necessity to engage in
morally reprehensible – and often illegal
– torture practices.
‘An innovative book exploring some of
the most challenging and penetrating
issues of our day – how we protect
our societies, and the moral and
behavioural boundaries of civilized
actions. Its interdisciplinary nature
makes for great analysis and debate.’

The Making of Polities
Europe, 1300–1500
John Watts
Corpus Christi College, Oxford
A major new survey of political life in
late medieval Europe.
‘This is a work of genuine importance,
excellently constructed and rigorously
thought out, combining accessibility
with great originality. It is a wise,
mature, thought-provoking book.
This book injects new life into the
study of late medieval politics; it
offers a highly stimulating and easily
accessible overview of political
conduct in the late Middle Ages; it
is rich in new ideas and will be a
fundamental point of reference for
future discussion of the politics of the
period.’

Refugee Law and
Socio-Economic Rights
Refuge from Deprivation
Michelle Foster
University of Melbourne
Michelle Foster assesses the ability of
refugee claims based on the violation
of socio-economic rights, arguing
that despite the traditional dichotomy
between ‘economic migrants’ and
‘political refugees’, the Refugee
Convention can include many claims
with a socio-economic element.
‘… complex hermeneutical legal
approach, which is particularly useful
in the context of contemporary
international law in general … offers
strong interpretive means for a better
and more coherent interpretation of
the [Refugee Convention].’

Textbook
The State in Early
Modern France
Second edition
James B. Collins
Georgetown University, Washington DC
This new edition of James Collins’s
acclaimed textbook has been revised
throughout, incorporating the
extensive recent scholarship on the
French state. It examines the recent
debates on ‘absolutism’; presents fresh
interpretations of the Fronde and of
French society in the eighteenth century;
and includes a new chapter on Louis XIV.

‘The reader who savours the full

pleasures of this book will be able
to feel that he or she, at the end of
it all, has a real grasp of both what
happened in the old Bourbon state
and how it functioned, changed and
came apart. One could scarcely ask
more of an introductory work; and one
can only regret that more supposedly
‘introductory’ textbooks do not come
up to Professor Collins’s exacting
standards.’
French History

Contents: Preface to the second edition;

Chronology of events; Genealogy; Glossary;
Historical background: the growth of the
French state to 1627; 1. The crucible,
