Subnational Politics and National Power
One Year of Lessons from Under the Blue Beret
Edited by A. Carl LeVan, American University,
Washington DC, USA, Joseph Olayinka Fashagba,
Federal University, Lokoja, Nigeria, Edward R.
McMahon, University of Vermont, USA
"This stimulating analysis of subnational politics
across key states in sub-Saharan Africa provides an
empirically nuanced and in-depth account of the
policies and practices of devolution. The institutional
focus takes seriously the congruence between
national and subnational; formal and informal; party
structure, fiscal federalism, judicial independence
and the electoral system. Wrestling with challenging
issues such as ethnic competition, the resource
curse, and continued executive dominance, the
authors place subnational governance in context to assess democratic
development, representation, accountability and governance."– Rachel Beatty
Riedl, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Northwestern University, USA
Africa is changing and it is easy to overlook how decentralization,
democratization, and new forms of illiberalism have transformed federalism,
political parties, and local politics. Chapters on Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and South
Africa help fill an important gap in comparative institutional research about state
and local politics in Africa.

Constructing Threats and Containing Bodies in Somalia
Brittany Gilmer, Old Dominion University, USA
"Brittany Gilmer offers readers a fascinating, front
row seat to the institutional response to piracy.
Her ethnography is a detailed and innovative
examination of how piracy has become securitized.
Understood through Gilmer's critical lens, the front
line workers of development themselves become
the lucrative subjects of securitization as they
compete for funding and become ‘piratized’ in the
process." - Alison Mountz, Wilfrid Laurier University,
Canada
This book examines the increasing role of development
organizations in securitization processes and argues
that the new security-development counter piracy
framework is (re)shaping political geographies of piracy by promoting disciplinary
strategies aimed at the prevention and containment of gendered and racialized
actions and bodies in Somalia.
Contents: Introduction * 1. Setting the Stage: Studies, Geographies, and Approaches * 2. State
of Crisis: Rooting Piracy in Security and Development * 3. Pirate Mania: Global Discourse,

integrating the four major cash assistance programs
into one coherent whole." - William R. Keech,

Religio-Political Narratives in the United States
Jeff Taylor, Dordt College, USA, Chad Israelson,
Rochester Community and Technical College, USA
"After reading this book I had the feeling that Jeff
Taylor and Chad Israelson understand Dylan better
than Dylan understands Dylan. They made me
aware that I had made Bob Dylan in my own political
image, and that he is much more complex than that.
This book gets two thumbs up from me." – Tony
Campolo, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Eastern
University, USA; and author of It's Friday But Sunday's
Comin' and Red Letter Christians
This work illuminates, identifies, and characterizes the
influences and expressions of Bob Dylan's Political
World throughout his life and career. An approach
nearly as unique as the singer himself, the authors attempt to remove Dylan from
the typical Left/Right paradigm and place him into a broader and deeper context.

Allan Sheahen, Self-employed
"This book is a great idea - brilliantly stated. Some
may think it's ultra-liberal, as they did when I
proposed a similar idea in 1972. I see it as true
conservatism - the right of income for all Americans
sufficient for food, shelter, and basic necessities.
Or, what Jefferson referred to as life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness." - U.S. Senator George
McGovern, 1972 Democratic Party Presidential

AMERICAN POLITICS
An American Dilemma
Privacy in a Cyber Age
International Law, Capital Punishment, and Federalism
Policy and Practice
Mary Welek Atwell, Radford University, USA
"An original and creative examination of how
America's 'machinery of death' is not only out of
step with international norms, but international
law as well. This book is a necessary addition to the
library of any scholar who wants to understand the
full legal ramifications of state-sanctioned death."
- Todd C. Peppers, Henry H. & Trudye H. Fowler
Chair, Associate Professor of Public Affairs, Roanoke
College, USA
An American Dilemma examines the application of the
death penalty in the United States as it conflicts with
obligations under the 1963 Vienna Convention on
Consular Relations.
Amitai Etzioni, George Washington University, USA
"Amitai Etzioni starts his analysis of privacy in the
age of big data with an unquestionable truth: the
ease with which personal data can be collected,
stored, and analyzed will transform our right to
privacy. This volume is a valiant effort to define
privacy in a way that starts with that truth. While I
could hardly disagree more with his conclusions, the
book is nonetheless a bracing and original look at a
field that has been dominated by crypto-Luddites
and adolescent fantasists." - Stewart Baker, a
partner of Steptoe & Johnson LLP, USA; former first
Assistant Secretary of Department of Homeland
Security, USA, and the author of Skating on Stilts
(2010)

This book lays out the foundation of a privacy doctrine suitable to the cyber age.
It limits the volume, sensitivity, and secondary analysis that can be carried out. In
studying these matters, the book examines the privacy issues raised by the NSA,
publication of state secrets, and DNA usage.

Frames of Memory after 9/11
Culture, Criticism, Politics, and Law
Lucy Bond, University of Westminster, UK
"Lucy Bond has produced a compelling analysis of
the post-9/11 literary and legal cultures that draw
upon and stretch the limits of the conventions of
memory studies (and above all trauma studies) in
place at the time of the event. Her book will appeal
to those seeking a clear and comprehensive overview
of the topic, as well as to readers already invested
in the detailed study of the effects of 9/11, to whom
she offers many new insights." - David Simpson, UC
Davis, USA
This book examines the commemoration of 9/11
in American memorial culture. It argues that the
emergence of counter-memories of September 11 has
been compromised by the dominance of certain narrative paradigms – or, frames
of memory – that have mediated the representation of the attacks across cultural,
critical, political, and juridical discourses.

Power, Information Technology, and
International Relations Theory
The Power and Politics of US Foreign Policy and the Internet
Daniel R. McCarthy, London School of Economics and
Political Science, UK
"A brilliant exercise in the crossroads of international
relations and science and technology studies.
McCarthy deftly analyses the Internet's rhetoric of
structure as a product and instrument of US foreign
policy. Cooly interdisciplinary, McCarthy's study
is socially relevant and intellectually rigorous."
- Professor Monroe Price, Annenberg School,
University of Pennsylvania, USA
This book examines the internet as a form of power in
global politics. Focusing on the United States' internet
foreign policy, McCarthy combines analyses of global
material culture and international relation theory, to
reconsider how technology is understood as a form of social power.

AMERICAN POLITICS
The Worldview of Redemptive Violence
in the US
Masculinity, Media, and the American
Presidency
Wayne Lavender, Independent Scholar, USA
Meredith Conroy, California State University, San
Bernardino, USA
"This book is the first to theorize and analyze the
role of masculine and feminine candidate framing in
presidential elections. Conroy's meticulous empirical
work reveals that gendered framing is a significant
factor in who wins the White House, even when
both of the candidates are male. She takes the field
in a refreshing new direction that better explains
the dynamics of presidential politics." - Caroline
Heldman, Associate Professor of Politics, Occidental
College, USA
Through US military history, Lavender directly
confronts the dominant US viewpoint of redemptive
violence, the concept that a nation can use its military
to improve the human condition. Alternatives
are presented in order to encourage the current
recessive worldview that supports conflict resolution,
cooperation, collaboration and peaceful efforts.

Presidential Faith and Foreign Policy
9781137456441
Jimmy Carter the Disciple and Ronald Reagan the Alchemist
William Steding, Southern Methodist University, USA
"Steding argues that Carter and Reagan's 'cognetic
narratives,' shaped by their religious faith and values,
can help explain some of their most important
foreign-policy decisions. The research is impressive
and the argument novel. It will certainly provoke
debate among historians, but Presidential Faith and
Foreign Policy more than holds its own." — Andrew
Preston, Cambridge University, UK
This book explores the relationship between the
religious beliefs of presidents and their foreign
policymaking. Through the application of a new
methodological approach that provides a cognetic
narrative of each president, this study reveals the
significance of religion’s impact on U.S. foreign policy.

Professional Pathways to the Presidency
Theresa Marchant-Shapiro, Southern Connecticut
State University, USA
"Theresa Marchant-Shapiro provides an exceptional
analysis of a previously underexamined matter:
how previous professional experience relates to
presidential greatness. A must read for all scholars
of the American presidency." - Mark D. Brewer,
Professor of Political Science, University of Maine,
USA
Presidential hopefuls frequently claim they are
qualified because their job experience is the same
as a great president. However they ignore the failed
presidents who shared the same pathway. This
book evaluates all the presidents systematically to
determine how prior professional experience influences presidential performance.

AMERICAN POLITICS
Origins and Evolution of the
US Rebalance toward Asia
Evolution and Ethics
A Critique of Sociobiology
Diplomatic, Military, and Economic Dimensions
Franklin Roy Bennett, City University of New York, USA
Does evolution inform the ancient debate regarding
the roles that reason and instinct play in how we decide
what to do? Evolution and Ethics offers an insightful
analysis of four epistemological types of sociobiology
which appear in the extant literature, and includes a
preliminary analysis of Darwinism itself.
Edited by Hugo Meijer, Kings College London, UK;
Sciences Po/CERI, France
"The American 'rebalance' towards Asia is much
talked about but frequently poorly understood.
Happily, this excellent new book will serve as an
antidote to this, providing a detailed, sophisticated
and highly readable account both of the rebalance
itself and its wider implications." - Anand Menon
This book provides a multifaceted analysis of the
so-called US 'rebalance' (or 'pivot') toward Asia by
focusing on the diplomatic, military, and economic
dimensions of the American policy shift in the Asia
Pacific region.

America in the Shadow of Empires
9781137440365
David Coates, Wake Forest University, USA
The focus of the book is the cost of empire, particularly
the cost in the American case – the internal burden
of American global leadership. The book builds
an argument about the propensity of external
responsibilities to undermine the internal strength,
raising the question of the link between weakening and
the global spread of American power.
The Post-Liberal Imagination
Political Scenes from the American Cultural Landscape
Bruce Baum, University of British Columbia, Canada
"Here comes the boom! That's what happens when
Bruce Baum brings political theory to popular
culture. He deftly analyzes the un-utterable subtext
of today's cinema, TV and more, to highlight
how they participate in the death of the social,
the erasure of structural causes of our current
inequitable society and misguided valorization of
individual ability and effort as the prime forces why
class, race and gender disparities exist. Going to
the movies has never been so politically edifying!
The Post-Liberal Imagination: Political Scenes from the
American Cultural Landscape is an important work of
political scholarship." - Sanford Schram, Professor of
Political Science and Public Policy, Hunter College, CUNY, USA
In The Post-Liberal Imagination, Bruce Baum approaches American liberalism 'in a
critical spirit' by examining the relationship between popular culture and politics.
The book analyzes movies, television, and popular music to rethink the liberal
views of democracy, equality, racism, dissent, and animal rights in the BushObama era.

US Military Bases and Anti-Military Organizing
An Ethnography of an Air Force Base in Ecuador
Erin Fitz-Henry, University of Melbourne, Australia
Michelle D. Deardorff, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, USA, James G.
Dahl, University of Illinois, Urbana-Chapaign, USA
US military presence in twenty-first century in Latin
America has recently been characterised by rapidly
intensifying militarization alongside under-supported
anti-military activism. This book redirects recent
debates about twenty-first century social mobilization
by taking seriously those who actively resist the social
movements in their midst.
Deardorff and Dahl examine how the US courts have addressed pregnancy
discrimination under federal statutory law. The historical, comparative, and
federal and state legal contexts are analyzed in the competing conceptions of
pregnancy and employment, exploring implications for gender equality and the
treatment of pregnancy in employment.

"Drawing on a great many interviews with decision
makers, the author makes one of the most
persuasive cases to date for how public opinion - and
anticipated public opinion - has constrained military
interventions by American presidents." - Robert Y.

Based on interviews with political decision-makers

has limited influence on military interventions, by
including the level of commitment in the study of the
decision-making process.

In American Exceptionalism Revisited, he brings his
finely tuned global perspective to the American case,
which is far too often viewed in isolation. This clearly
written and thoughtful book is a must read for

The Soldier Vote
Counter-Recruitment and the Campaign to
Demilitarize Public Schools
Scott Harding, University of Connecticut, USA, Seth
Kershner, Northwestern Connecticut Community
College, USA
"This book brilliantly dissects not only the
militarization of schools in the United States
but also offers a systemic approach to forms
of counter-recruitment. Not content to simply
condemn military recruitment of students, the
book offers parents and others a ray of hope in
developing a language, strategies, and policies that
can end this pernicious militarizing of schools and
the recruitment of young people into America's
ever expanding war machine. A must-read book
for fighting back against militarized pedagogies
and strategies of repression." - Henry Giroux, McMaster University, Canada,
author of The Violence of Organized Forgetting (2013)
The United States is one of the only developed countries to allow a military
presence in public schools, including an active role for military recruiters. This
militarization of educational space has spawned a little-noticed grassroots
resistance. This book provides the first account of the small, but sophisticated,
counter-recruitment movement.

AMERICAN POLITICS
The New Class in Post-Industrial Society
John McAdams, Marquette University, USA
Colorblindness, Post-raciality, and Whiteness
in the United States
The traditional class analysis of politics in industrial
societies described a conflict that pitted the welloff business class against the working class in a
"democratic class struggle." This book holds that
economic development has produced a New Class
which rivals the business class in the politics of postindustrial societies.
Sherrow O. Pinder, California State University, Chico,
USA
This book problematizes the ways in which the
discourses of colorblindness and post-raciality are
articulated in the age of Obama. Pinder debunks the
myth that race does not matter and reconsiders the
presumptive hegemony of whiteness through the
dialectics of visibility and invisibility of race.

Strawser examines several possible ethical
justifications for the killing of Osama bin Laden and
finds nearly all of them wanting. One, however, he
argues is sound: that bin Laden was liable to be killed as
a necessary and proportionate act of defensive harm on
behalf of innocent people.

Principled Judicial Restraint
David Fitzgerald, University College Cork, Ireland,
David Ryan, University College Cork, Ireland
"Until the archives are finally open some date in the
distant future, this book will be our primary guide
to Obama's entangled foreign policy dilemmas.
This is a subtle and deeply-probing examination of
the concepts that underlie American assumptions
about the Middle East landscape as a proving ground
for the American dream - the final chapter in in the
post-World War II era. What comes through so
powerfully, instead, is despite Barack Obama's desire
to rebuild the American nation, a new Iraq syndrome
will have replaced the Vietnam syndrome." - Lloyd
Gardner, Rutgers University, USA
A Case Against Activism
Jerold Waltman, Baylor University, USA

Edited by Takashi Inoguchi, University of Niigata

This volume examines Japanese and Korean politics

why the two countries do not cooperate bilaterally

closeness and a number of common features that are
central to both countries' domestic politics and foreign
policies.
The topic of China's rise and what it really means for
the global and regional order is the subject of intense
debate. In this volume, top scholars address China's
power today, compare China's power with that of the
USA, and forecast China's power in 2025.

Ideology, Legitimacy and Party Cohesion
Jinghan Zeng, De Montfort University, UK
Drawing together articles from the new online journal
The Asan Forum, commissioned from leading experts in
the USA, Japan, and South Korea, this book reconsiders
what we thought we knew about the three legs of this
alliance triangle.
Why did the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) not
follow the failure of the communist regimes in Eastern
Europe and the Soviet Union? This book examines this
question by studying two crucial strategies that the
CCP feels it needs to implement in order to remain in
power: ideological reform and the institutionalization
of leadership succession.

The Road to Collaborative Governance
in China
Edited by Yijia Jing, Fudan University, China
"An important, unique, and detailed look at China's
profound transformation through collaborative
governance, a policy that might have been called
'public-private partnerships' or even 'privatization'
in other settings. Professor Yijia Jing, a rising star in
China's famed Fudan University, brings together
Chinese scholars (plus two Westerners in China) to
present an impressively wide array of examples of
collaborative governance including e-government,
construction of national highways, local government
services, and care of the elderly. Jing's powerful
introduction is an insightful analysis of the
State's deepening engagement with the private
and nonprofit sectors of society." - E. S. Savas,
Presidential Professor, Baruch College, City University of New York, USA
Faced with unprecedented socioeconomic changes, China has increasingly
embraced collaborative governance (CG), the sharing of power and discretion
between and within public, private, and nonprofit sectors for public purposes. This
book analyzes new areas of CG development such as environmental protection,
disaster response, and infrastructure.

Hong Kong’s Indigenous Democracy
Origins, Evolution and Contentions
Sonny Lo, Department of Social Sciences, Hong Kong
Institute of Education
"Sonny Lo's book on Hong Kong is timely and breaks
new ground in its examination of the challenges of
political change in a society that since 1997 has been
pushing for more democracy from China. This study
of Hong Kong also offers keen insight into China's
approach to political change and protest." – Bob
Beatty, author of Democracy, Asian Values, and Hong
Kong
This book examines the Red Love vogue that swept
across the Asia-Pacific in the 1920s and 1930s as part
of a worldwide interest in socialism and follows its
trails throughout the twentieth century. Encouraging
both political and sexual liberation, Red Love was
a transnational movement demonstrating the
revolutionary potential of love and desire.

Mark McLelland, University of Wollongong, Australia
"With tenacity, diligence, and care, Mark McLelland
has dug deep into a mountain of late 1940s' Japanese
popular print sources to create a tantalizing new
look into Occupied Japan. His story is grounded in
fascinating details about Japan's postwar 'sexual
revolution' that he weaves into a broader tale of how
democracy developed under foreign occupation.
Entertaining but never sensationalistic, Love, Sex, and
Democracy in Japan during the American Occupation
is required reading for those who wish to better
understand the time." - Mark D. West, Nippon Life
Professor of Law and the 17th Dean of the University
of Michigan Law School, USA
This is the first book in English to examine, through material in the popular

and male-female relations in the wake of Japan's defeat and occupation by Allied
forces at the end of the Second World War.

Electing and Ejecting Party
Leaders in Britain
Thomas Quinn, University of Essex, UK
"This is an important and timely study of what
has been a neglected topic in the literature. Public
evaluations of party leaders play a really important
role in influencing voting behaviour in Britain, and
so it is important to understand why and how the
parties select their leaders. This book makes a really
interesting contribution to understanding that
process." - Paul Whiteley, Professor of Government,
University of Essex, UKand Co-director of the British
Election Study
Edited by Simon Griffiths, Goldsmiths, University of
London, UK, Kevin Hickson, University of Liverpool, UK
"It is a worthy attempt...to link the conventional
empirical study of partisan politics with deeper
issues of political theory." Financial Times
British Party Politics and Ideology after New Labour
brings together academics and politicians to debate
the intellectual roots of the ideas that currently drive
the main UK political parties. With major players
responding to the arguments raised in each chapter,
the book will be a must-read for anyone interested in or
teaching British politics.

"This work is far from being just another assessment

The Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats
each allow their members to participate in the

The Contested Identities of Ulster Protestants

Mulvenna, School of Politics, International Studies and
Philosophy, Queen’s University Belfast, UK
"Confident societies tend not to obsess about
identity. But Northern Ireland does. The identity
which is most debated at present is that of northern
Protestants. Contested Identities is a timely and
thought-provoking series of essays exploring the
various manifestations of that identity. As such it
will immeasurably assist our understanding of a
community which often feels misunderstood and
marginalised." – Professor Marianne Elliott, Institute

The Rise of Muslim Consciousness
Nasar Meer, University of Strathclyde, UK
"Widely researched and lucidly organized and
written, this book is a timely contribution to the
study of Muslim engagement with education, media,
and political activism in the United Kingdom. It
focuses on current developments at the same time
that it draws on legal and parliamentary history
and on the theoretical insights of sociologists such
as W.E.D. Du Bois. Nasar Meer advances innovative
paradigms for anchoring Muslim identity in the
dynamic religious life of twenty-first century
Britain." - Professor Nabil Matar, University of
Minnesota, USA
In this updated new paperback, Meer further develops a
novel sociological and political understanding of Muslim identities in Britain. Using
case studies of Muslim mobilizations over issues of education, discrimination
legislation and media representation, it also considers the local impact of global
concerns such as terrorism and radicalism.

Using archival sources and interviews with key

concessions on electoral reform.

The Gove Legacy
Making British Law
Education in Britain after the Coalition
Committees in Action
Louise Thompson, School of Politics, University of
Surrey, UK
'A fascinating insight into the engine room of
parliament, this is a superbly researched study,
showing that committees exert considerable
influence on legislation. It is an indispensable
antidote to all the doom-mongers who say that
parliament doesn't matter.' — Philip Cowley,
Professor of Parliamentary Government, University
of Nottingham, UK
This study offers an analysis of the UK's current
economic policy options and a plan for improving
life for ordinary citizens via a sensible and realistic
understanding of governments' limited ability to
manage economic performance. It provides a manifesto
which political parties could immediately adopt to make life better for all.
Laws are essential to the lives of all British citizens and
crucial to the survival of British Governments. This book
follows the work of House of Commons bill committees
as they scrutinise legislation and reveals the hidden
depths of law making in the British Parliament.
Contents: PART I: INTRODUCTION * PART II: THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF BILL
COMMITTEES * PART III: THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF BILL COMMITTEES * PART
IV: MEASURING COMMITTEE IMPACT * PART V: THE OTHER SIDE OF COMMITTEE WORK *

Edited by Mike Finn, Liverpool Hope University, UK
"This excellent collection tells us a great deal about
government policy-making generally, as well as
the specific educational legacy of Michael Gove
and the Coalition Government. As someone who
was directly involved in one set of reforms, I was
intrigued by how much I had forgotten, or never
known, about the detail of policy-making and
implementation. But I was also deeply impressed by
the way in which the authors, from very different
perspectives, leave one with a much clearer
understanding of how education policy has evolved
in England; of major underlying shifts, many of which
started well before 2010; and of how much, or little,
future governments are likely to change direction. Highly recommended!" Professor Alison Wolf CBE, Sir Roy Griffiths Professor of Public Management,
King's College London, author of Does Education Matter?
Michael Gove was, unquestionably, a pivotal figure in British educational reform during
his time as the coalition's Secretary of State for Education. This team of experts, drawn
from academia, think-tanks and trade unions, offer an unrivalled early assessment of
the impact of Gove, and his reforms, on the British educational landscape.

BRITISH POLITICS
Time and Action in the Scottish
Independence Referendum
Soft Power and Freedom under the Coalition
State-Corporate Power and the Threat to Democracy
Michael Gardiner, University of Warwick, UK
"There have been diaries and accounts of the
referendum movement but none that give the depth
of analysis that Michael Gardiner brings to the table.
Britain as the Undead state, re-telling the movement
as part of a narrative of British reform - and trying
to capture the idea of self-determination, thereby
cancelling both past and future for Scotland. It's a
captivating insightful analysis of what we've just
lived through. Essential reading." – Mike Small, editor
of Bella Caledonia
This book describes the recent Scottish independence
referendum as the latest incarnation of a contest
between two times – on one hand, an ideally
continuous time beyond determination underpinning financial sovereignty, on the
other the interruptions to this ideal continuity inherent in human action.

"A fascinating exploration – case by case, act by act,
and in both foreign and domestic policy – of how a
shrunken, negative, corporate-friendly definition of
freedom came to dominate Coalition thinking and
dash the hopes of those who hoped that May 2010
might turn out to be a genuinely 'liberal moment'
for the UK." – Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, Queen
Mary University of London, UK
This study of five key policy areas, from welfare reform
to foreign policy, demonstrates that the ConservativeLiberal Democrat coalition failed to fulfil its promise to
reverse the rising power of the State. It exercised more
subtle forms of 'soft power', often in partnership with
the private sector, and to the detriment of ordinary citizens.

In Britain, the resistance to popular determination
allowed by the financial construct of the public has
been so successful that this term, public, must be
re-read as politically paralyzing. The problem, our
problem, is the public – which we are so often told will
bring us together and provide for us – and it is this we
must move beyond.

COMPARATIVE POLITICS
New Directions in Comparative
Capitalisms Research
A Poststructuralist Discourse Theory
of Global Politics
Critical and Global Perspectives
Edited by Matthias Ebenau, IG Metall, Germany, Ian
Bruff, University of Manchester, UK, and Christian
May, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany
"Charting new directions, developing new
perspectives, and bringing new energy to the
field of comparative capitalisms research, this
innovative collection presents a radical challenge to
intellectual path dependency. In the best traditions
of critical and heterodox scholarship, it opens up
and illuminates the horizon—not only with new
analytical formulations but with new politicaleconomic imaginaries as well." – Jamie Peck,
University of British Columbia, Canada
Dirk Nabers, University of Kiel, Germany
The book analyses the notions of crisis and social
change from a radical discourse theoretical perspective.
Crisis is conceptualized as structural dislocation, which
denotes temporally and locally split subjectivities,
and societal change is understood on the basis of a
thoroughly articulated theory of difference.
Contents: Introduction * PART I: * 1 Crisis * 2 Change * PART II
* 3 Reality * 4 Difference * PART III * 5 Hegemony * 6 Discourse

How Politics Makes Us Sick
Neoliberal Epidemics
Ted Schrecker and Clare Bambra, University of
Durham, UK
"It's official: austerity and neoliberalism is bad
for your health. This impeccably researched book
illustrates how the reigning dogma of our time is bad
for people - and spurs us on to find an alternative." –
Owen Jones, Author and Columnist for The Guardian
Antitrust Institutions and Policies
in the Globalising Economy
Eleonora Poli, Instituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), Italy
"This volume is a must read for those interested in
the evolution of international economic institutions,
models of capitalism and diffusion of ideas in the
global economy." - Anastasia Nsevetailova, City
University, UK
Ted Schrecker and Clare Bambra argue that the obesity,
insecurity, austerity and inequality that result from
neoliberal (or 'market fundamentalist') policies are
hazardous to our health, asserting that these neoliberal
epidemics require a political cure.
Eleonora Poli analyses how ideas and material interests
have come to determine the evolution of antitrust
policies in the USA, EU, Japan and BRICS. She argues
that three major economic crises together with market
globalisation have changed governments' perceptions
of market competition, giving rise to a neo-liberal
global phase.

the determinants of support for the use of military
force in a comparative perspective.

Making Citizens
The UN Secretariat’s Influence on the
Evolution of Peacekeeping
Public Rituals and Personal Journeys to Citizenship
Bridget Byrne, University of Manchester, UK
"Drawing on observations of ceremonies in six
countries, as well as interviews with new citizens in
Britain, Byrne offers a rich account that sheds light
on the tensions, dissonances, and convergences
surrounding the significance and experiences of
citizenship. Byrne takes us from the pomp and
circumstance of some large ceremonies or more
modest and less formal ones, to the long, and at times
difficult 'journeys' and experiences of those that she
aptly refers to as 'citizands' (like graduands). She
reveals how a nation's hospitality can be more uneven,
fraught, and tenuous than the ceremonies suggest."
— Anne-Marie Fortier, Lancaster University, UK
In an increasingly mobile world with mounting concerns about the states' control
of borders and migration, passports and citizenship rights matter more than ever.
This book asks what citizenship ceremonies can tell us about how citizenship is
understood through empirical research in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, the
Netherlands and Ireland.
Silke Weinlich, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
Using a unique analytical framework, the UN Secretariat's Influence on the
Evolution of Peacekeeping reveals deep insights in the UN's peacekeeping
decision-making and shows that even international bureaucracies with limited
autonomy can shape international politics.

Identity and Citizenship Models in Turkey and Austria
Meral Ugur Cinar, Department of Political Science and

"In her bold and erudite comparative study, Ugur

Cross-Taiwan Strait Relations in an
Era of Technological Change
Security, Economic and Cultural Dimensions
Edited by Paul Irwin Crookes, School of
Interdisciplinary Area Studies, University of Oxford, UK,
Jan Knoerich, Lau China Institute, King’s College
London, UK
"Cross-strait relations are clearly a multidimensional phenomenon, but prior to this book,
rarely did one volume address the political,
economic and cultural aspects of cross-strait
relations adequately, let alone with the depth found
across the chapters of Cross-Taiwan Strait Relations
in an Era of Technological Change." — Douglas B.
Fuller, Professor, School of Management, Zhejiang
University, China
This book explores how technological change is
influencing the dynamics of relations between mainland China and Taiwan. Using
the latest research, it examines the acceleration of technology-led and how it
shapes three key dimensions of the cross-Strait relationship: the overarching
security context; the economic context; and the cultural context.
This study seeks to explain the impact of historical
narratives on the inclusiveness and pluralism of
citizenship models. Drawing on comparative historical
analysis of two post-imperial core countries, Turkey
and Austria, it explores how narrative forms operate to
support or constrain citizenship models.

The Presidentialization of Political Parties
Organizations, Institutions and Leaders
Edited by Gianluca Passarelli, Department of Political Science, University La Sapienza Rome, Italy
"This book is an important contribution to the study of political parties and the
role of the presidents in contemporary democracies. Based on 11 in-depth country
case studies, it highlights the political dynamics that account for variation in the
presidentialization of political parties in different regime types. While stressing the
importance of institutions, it shows that the presidentialization of political parties

contribution to comparative studies and should be read by both scholars and
students alike." – Robert Elgie, Dublin City University, Ireland
This book explains why the level of party presidentialization varies from one country to another.
It considers the effects of constitutional structures as well as the party's original features, and
argues that the degree of party presidentialization varies as a function of the party's genetics.

This book consists of a collection of essays that deal
with glocalization in Europe, including the idea of

Struggling with the Awakening Giant
Dominic Hoeglinger, Senior Research and Teaching
Associate, Department of Political Science, University of
Zurich, Switzerland
"The question of politicizing European integration
is not only an important question for scholars. It is
also a central question in the public debate about
the legitimacy of the European Union. With its novel
theoretical ideas and impressive data, this book is a
must for everyone interested in this question."
— Christoffer Green-Pedersen, Professor of Political
Science, Aarhus University, Denmark
This book offers a comprehensive treatment of the
timely question of the politicization of European
integration. It shows how this issue's complex linkages
with traditional political divides pose a tough challenge to politicians and lead to
bitter framing contests about its actual meaning.

THE EUROPEAN UNION
EUROPEAN ADMINISTRATIVE
GOVERNANCE SERIES
The European Commission, Expert Groups,
and the Policy Process
The Palgrave Handbook of the
European Administrative System
Demystifying Technocratic Governance
Edited by Michael W. Bauer, German University of
Administrative Sciences, Speyer, Jarle Trondal,
Department of Political Science and Management,
University of Adgar, Norway and ARENA Centre for
European Studies, University of Oslo, Norway
"This Handbook reveals the interlocking organizational,
political and multi-level dimensions of the EU's
administrative system. The individual chapters enrich
our understanding of its distinctive institutional and
behavioral aspects; together, they delimit how this
emerging administrative order enhances and limits the
EU's role as an autonomous policymaker." — Chris Ansell,
University of California, Berkeley, USA
Drawing on research from the administrative sciences
and using organizational, institutional and decision-making theories, this volume
examines the emerging bureaucratic framework of the EU and highlights that
analyzing the patterns and dynamics of the EU's administrative capacities is
essential to understand how it shapes European public policy.
Contents: PART I: THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES * PART II; EU’S EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION
* PART III: EU’S PARLIAMENT ADMINISTRATION * PART IV: EU’S ‘INTERGOVERNMENTAL’
ADMINISTRATION * PART V: EU’S COURT ADMINISTRATIVE * PART VI: EU’S SUBORDINATED
ADMINISTRATION * PART VII: VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ADMINISTRATIVE INTERACTION
* PART VIII: CONCLUSIONS AND CHALLENGES
Julia Metz, Advisor at the German Parliament
"This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the
European Commission's expert committees, drawing
on quantitative data as well as on case studies.
The expert group system has so far been seen as
one of the main indicators of the Commission's
predominantly technocratic nature. Metz challenges
this view, showing that expert groups are parts of
a basically political process, thus portraying the
Commission more as a 'normal' political executive
than as a technocratic body."– Professor Morten
Egeberg, Department of Political Science, University
of Oslo, Norway
This book challenges the assumption that policy
makers' work with advisory committees is emblematic of technocratic
governance. Analyzing how and why the European Commission uses expert
groups in the policy process, it shows that experts not only solve technical
problems, but also function as political devices and negotiators in modern
governance.

EU Democracy Promotion and the Arab Spring
Business Lobbying and Trade Governance
Jappe Eckhardt, Simon Fraser University, Canada
"The political economy behind trade policy formulation
becomes increasingly complex in a world featuring the
continued expansion of international supply chains.
By contextualizing a number of recent and high profile

globalization of production and the emergence of
global value chains impacts on trade preferences, lobby
strategies and the political influence of EU firms. It sheds

PALGRAVE STUDIES IN EUROPEAN
POLITICAL SOCIOLOGY
Patterns of Cooperation, Competition and Conflict
Edited by Håkan Johansson, Lund University, Sweden,
Sara Kalm, Lund University, Sweden
"This volume is a fantastically innovative
contribution to the study of EU civil society. The
relational approach covering the theoretical
perspectives of the network, coalition and field
model focuses on cooperation and competition
so decisive for the constitution and performance
of CSOs. The entire book is a 'must read' not only
because of the empirical richness of the individual
contributions but because the common relational
approach provides a comprehensive view of the
structure and dynamics of EU civil society." - Beate

Edited by Stefanie Börner, Friedrich Schiller University
Jena, Germany, Monika Eigmüller, Free University

"The political crisis in Europe is forcing an expanded
vision of the field of EU studies in which the relation
of polity building to underlying social forces is
re-examined. Drawing together a first class set of
authors, this volume establishes new resources for
answering difficult questions about the confused
past, contested present, and possible futures of the
European Union." - Adrian Favell, Sciences Po, France
In order to better understand processes of European
integration, this book offers a new perspective that
compares past experiences of change to current
transitional moments at the European level. It addresses key questions
about European society, EU integration and social change to reveal the social
construction of emergent polities and societies.

THE EUROPEAN UNION
Immigration and Citizenship in an Enlarged
European Union
The Political Dynamics of Intra-EU Mobility
Simon McMahon, Coventry University, UK
''No subject is more divisive then migration policy
in the current political debate in Europe. However,
six years into the global financial crisis, it is not
only migration from third countries, but even
intra-European migration which creates tensions
and controversies. The EU itself does not seem
able to address a fundamental crisis of identity.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of
the politics of immigration and citizenship in the
European Union, going at the origins of the debate
on what it truly means to be a European Citizen.
After introducing the theoretical dimension of the
politics of immigration and citizenship, the book
explores the cases of intra-EU migration in Italy and Spain of focusing on the
case of the Roma. This thorough volume is essential reading for those who
wish to understand the dynamics of intra-EU migration from a deep, cultural
perspective.'' - Professor Leila Simona Talani, Professor of International
Political Economy and Jean Monnet Chair in European Political Economy,
King's College London
A distinctive contribution to the politics of citizenship and immigration in an
expanding European Union, this book explains how and why differences arise in
responses to immigration by examining local, national and transnational dimensions

and Globalisation, University of Roskilde, Denmark, Ian
Manners, Department of Political Science, University of
Copenhagen, Denmark, Karl Löfgren, School of
Government, Victoria University of Wellington, New
Zealand
"Those researching the EU are confronted
with a bewildering menu of epistemologies,
methodologies, research designs, and methods of
data collection and analysis. In this very welcome
volume, seasoned EU scholars unlock these bodies
of knowledge and tailor them to the specific needs
of 'their' sub-fields. The volume is a must read for all
who seek to find more convincing answers to their
research questions. And who does not?" – Markus Haverland, Professor of
Political Science, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Basil Germond, Lancaster University, UK
"Germond's exploration of the maritime dimension
of European security is based on a sophisticated
historical and geo-strategic understanding of the
importance of seapower, and of the security needs
and obligations of the EU. This is an outstanding
contribution to our understanding of the oftenneglected realities of global seapower in the 21st
century." – Anne Deighton, Department of Politics
and International Relations, University of Oxford,
UK
This book discusses the significance of the maritime
domain for European security in general and the
European Union in particular.

The European Union and Peacebuilding
The Cross-Border Dimension
Cathal McCall, School of Politics, International Studies
and Philosophy, Queen’s Unievrsity Belfast, UK
"The European Union and Conflict Transformation
is a most welcome addition to the scholarly study
of Europeanization for it is not only the best book
available on the impact of the European Union on
culture, politics and identity in the borderlands of
Northern Ireland, but it may be the best book today
on the politics of culture in European borderlands.
McCall's compelling analysis of the politics of
border life goes beyond Ireland to illustrate many
of the problems and joys of national and regional
integration that affect so many people across
the continent." - Thomas M. Wilson, Binghamton
University, State University of New York, USA
Edited by Stefan Gänzle, University of Agder, Norway,
Kristine Kern, Leibniz Institute for Regional
Development and Structural Planning, Germany, and
University of Potsdam, Germany

Cross-border cooperation is integral to the peace-building objective of the EU.
Yet, 25 years of such cooperation has often failed to translate into connecting
people across borders. This study assesses the significance of cross-border
cooperation for addressing Europe's conflict wounds and examines its prospects in
an enlarged EU of 28 members.

Deciding on Freedom, Security and Justice
Ariadna Ripoll Servent, Otto-Friedrich-Universität
Bamberg, Germany
"Ripoll Servent has produced a groundbreaking
analysis of the European Parliament as an emerging
actor in the EU's Area of Freedom, Security and
Justice. By linking a very significant new political
actor with empirical investigations in three
distinct case studies, the book makes a substantial
contribution to our understanding of both the
institutional framework and the legislative output
of the EU. It is highly recommended for anyone
interested in European security governance or
European studies more generally" – Christian
Kaunert, Professor of International Politics,
University of Dundee, Scotland
In an EU increasingly worried about the security of its citizens and its territory,
how should the European Parliament make policy decisions in these areas? This
study investigates how the empowerment of the European Parliament has led it
to abandon its defence of civil liberties in order to become a full partner in interinstitutional negotiations

Laura Allison, Public Policy and Global Affairs Programme,
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
"This fascinating book looks at actorness of the
EU from a novel norm diffusion perspective. Its
originality lies in the combination of a focus on
the EU as norm diffuser and a focus on ASEAN as a
norm recipient. Laura Allison clearly demonstrates
that actorness lies in the eye of the beholder and
therefore ASEAN actually contributes to shaping
the EU's actorness. The book also has clear policy
implications as it shows the need for a more
symmetrical relationship between the EU and
ASEAN." – Luk Van Langenhove, United Nations

EU Coordination in International Institutions
Policy and Process in Gx Forums
Peter Debaere, University of Ghent, Belgium
"Debaere provides a compelling and authoritative
account of EU coordination in the empirically
challenging Gx context. This study provides not
only key insights into the variegated coordination
patterns of the EU in G7, G8, and G20 processes,
it also enriches the concept of coordination which
is surprisingly underdeveloped in the literature."
– Katie Verlin Laatikainen, Associate Professor,
Adelphi University, USA
This book examines the European Union (EU)
coordination of the G7, G8 and G20 (Gx). The author
comprehensively maps out the different coordination
processes for each Gx forum and assesses the procedures
used, the actors involved as well as the evolution of the Gx forum over time.

"The editors have brought together, in an admirably
cohesive fashion, a group of well-known scholars
and practitioners, providing fresh and unique
insights into the EU's policy on nuclear proliferation,
and offering a nuanced and effective analysis of
its strengths and limitations. Students and policy
practitioners alike will find this book invaluable
for understanding the EU's role in the prevention
of nuclear proliferation." — Emil J. Kirchner, Jean Monnet Chair in European
Political Integration , Department of Government, University of Essex, UK
Much of the literature on the emerging role of the EU as a non-proliferation actor
has only a minimal engagement with theory. This collection aims to rectify this
by placing the role of the EU in the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons within
an analytical framework inspired by emerging literature on the performance of
international organisations.

The Securitisation of Migration in the EU
Debates Since 9/11
Edited by Gabriella Lazaridis, University of Leicester,
UK, Khursheed Wadia, University of Warwick, UK
Since 9/11 Western states have sought to integrate
'securitisation' measures within migration regimes as
asylum seekers and other migrant categories come to
be seen as agents of social instability or as potential
terrorists. Treating migration as a security threat has
therefore increased insecurity amongst migrant and
ethnic minority populations.
This book analyzes the relations between two
geographical areas with different levels of regional
institutionalization: the European Union and Latin
America. Characterized by low interdependence and
asymmetry, this relationship operates in different levels ranging from EUindividual countries to EU-Latin American summits.

Edited by David Spence, Senior Visiting Fellow, LSE
European Institute, UK, Jozef Bátora, Comenius
University Bratislava, Slovakia
"Diplomacy at all levels is experiencing fundamental
challenges as it responds to changing global,
regional and national environments. As the
contributors to this book clearly demonstrate, the
development of the EEAS after the Lisbon Treaty
provides a significant and fascinating instance of
diplomatic change and adaptation. The careful
blending of academic and practitioner perspectives
will prove invaluable to those concerned with the
transformation of diplomacy generally as well as
the development of the processes and structures
associated with EU foreign policy." - Brian Hocking,
Emeritus Professor of International Relations, Loughborough University, UK
This book questions whether the institutions and practices of the emerging
EU diplomatic system conform to established standards of the state-centric
diplomatic order; or whether practice is paving the way for innovative, even
revolutionary, forms of diplomatic organisation.

Britain and the Crisis of the European Union
David Baker, Retired Professor of British Politics,
Warwick University, UK, Pauline Schnapper, Institut du
Monde Anglophone, University of Sorbonne Nouvelle,
France
"The thirty year civil war in the Conservative Party
over Britain's membership of the EU is reaching a
climax. Baker and Schnapper provide a superb guide
both to the bizarre British debate on Europe, and to
the deepening crisis of the EU itself, showing how
one feeds off the other. This book is essential reading
for understanding the deep-seated problems which
threaten to overwhelm the European project."
– Andrew Gamble, Emeritus Professor of Politics,
Department of Politics and International Studies,

seriously affected the European Union and its impact on the seemingly endless UK
debate over Britain's position within the EU.

International Relations, Czech Republic, Simon
Lightfoot, University of Leeds, UK
"The authors make a clear case for the limited effects
of the imposed development policy-standards
leading to a 'shallow Europeanization'… This study
forms a unique contribution to the field of European
development cooperation studies." — Louk Box,
Honorary Professor of International Cooperation at
Maastricht University, The Netherlands
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the
international development policies of ten Central
and Eastern European countries that joined the EU
between 2004 and 2007. The contributors offer the
first thorough overview of the 'new' EU member states' development cooperation
programmes, placing them in a larger political and societal context.

Schwell, University of Vienna, Austria, Albrecht Sonntag, ESSCA School of
Management, France
Sébastien G. Lazardeux, Department of Political
Science, St. John Fisher College, USA
"This original analysis provides new insights into
the policy process under divided government, or
cohabitation, in France. With a combination of
institutional analysis, formal logic, and important
newly collected empirical evidence, Lazardeux
provides an important cautionary tale about the
functioning of the core institutions of the Fifth
Republic." – Frank R. Baumgartner, University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
The UEFA European football championship was the first European mega-event to
take place in post-socialist Europe. Taking this as a departure point, this volume
focuses on football as a realm of constructing and negotiating identities using rich
ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth media analysis.

Government through Culture and the
Contemporary French Right
Jeremy Ahearne, Centre for Cultural Policy Studies,
University of Warwick, UK
"This is a thought-provoking study of selected policy
themes and symbols given prominence by Presidents
Chirac and Sarkozy in their attempt to shape the
ideational environment of contemporary France.
Ahearne sheds new light on the French right's
capacity to embed its values in the nation's political
culture." – Professor Raymond Kuhn, Professor of
Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK
Culture, understood broadly, lay at the heart of
contrasting right-wing strategies for government
in France during the pivotal decade of 2002-2012.
Looking at issues of secularism, education, televisual
performance, public memory and nation-branding Ahearne analyses how
presidents Chirac and Sarkozy sought to redefine contemporary French identity.

This study departs from traditional interpretations of
cohabitation in French politics, which suggest French
institutions are capable of coping when the President
and Prime Minister originate from different political parties. Instead, it offers the
opposite view that cohabitation leads to partisan conflict and inertia in the policymaking process.

European Social Movements

European Union Foreign Policy
From Effectiveness to Functionality
Another World but with Whom?
Timothy Peace, University of Stirling, UK
"In this rich study, Timothy Peace bridges two fields
of research: social movements and the politics of
religion. His book provides an original analysis of
the successes (and failures) of the participation
of Muslim activists in the protest campaigns of
the Global Justice Movement. Comparing two
classical cases, France and Great Britain, his work
goes beyond existing knowledge of the effects
of citizenship regimes on political participation
by looking at the mechanisms that explain the
different reactions of social movements when faced
with diversity. This is an important contribution to
social movement studies." - Professor Della Porta,
European University Institute, Italy
How do progressive social movements deal with religious pluralism? In this book,
Timothy Peace uses the example of the alter-globalisation movement to explain
why social movement leaders in Britain and France reacted so differently to the
emergence of Muslim activism.

"[The] book presents a sophisticated picture of the contructivist functions that
foreign plays in the advancement of European Integration." - Crisitian Nitoiu,
The Jounral Of Common Market Studies, Volume 49, No. 6, November 2011.
This book aims to change the way we think about the European Union's foreign
policy. Rather than ask whether the EU's foreign policy is effective or not, this
book argues that we should inquire instead into the internal functions EU foreign
policy plays for the European integration process as a whole.

The first major study on the making of new cultures,

This is a rich yet succinct account of an underexplored story: the consequences of
the Great War for the region which ignited it. It offers a fascinating tapestry: the

implications and collective national amnesias. The legacies live on.

Dealing with Risk, Inequality and Precarity in Times of Crisis
Edited by Lorenza Antonucci, University of the West of
Scotland, UK, Myra Hamilton, University of New South
Wales, Austrailia, Steven Roberts, University of Kent,
UK
"This is a very useful and important book. It
properly gets to grips with some of the most critical
challenges facing young people in the light of the
recent economic crisis. Rather than concentrating
only on issues of employment the book takes a
more holistic approach to understanding young lives
and additionally locates this insightful and careful
analysis within a consideration of longer term
trends in youth transitions. A great achievement
and essential reading for anyone interested in youth
transitions in Europe both in the current economic
context and beyond it." - Tracy Shildrick, University of Leeds, UK
This edited collection provides the first in-depth analysis of social policies and the
risks faced by young people. The book explores the effects of both the economic
crisis and austerity policies on the lives of young Europeans, examining both the
precarity of youth transitions, and the function of welfare state policies.

This book explores the background of the eurozone

attempts to discover if the problems could have been
anticipated, and examines how well have the fiscal

the EU does not want to be ruled by crisis any longer, it
must invest in sustainability, political, economic, social

ever-threatening 'crisis' into a chosen and meaningful
transition.

The demonstrations and occupations that emerged
across Europe in 2011-12 struck a chord in public

Europe’s Treasure Ireland
Julien Mercille and Enda Murphy, University College
Dublin, Ireland
"Essential reading for those who might believe that
neoliberalism is just an economic doctrine. This
meticulously researched and engagingly written
book of Ireland's social and economic predicament
conclusively shows that neoliberalization is first
and foremost a class project." – Erik Swyngedouw,
Manchester University, UK
From bank bailouts to austerity, Europe's and Ireland's
response to the economic crisis has been engineered
specifically to shift the burden of paying for the crisis
onto ordinary citizens while investors, financiers,
bankers and the privileged are protected. The authors
expose the class-based nature of Ireland's crisis resolution.

Populist Parties in Europe
Agents of Discontent?
Stijn van Kessel, Department of Politics, History and International Relations,
Loughborough University, UK and Department of Politics, Heinrich Heine
Universität Düsseldorf, Germany
"This book brilliantly bridges the gap between big datasets and detailed case
studies to add significantly to our understanding of populist parties' electoral
successes. The key, it seems, is not just the inadequacies of their mainstream
rivals but also the credibility of the insurgents. This is a great example of the
way comparative methods can say something important not just to academics
but to politicians who operate in the real world." – Tim Bale, Professor of
Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK
Populism is often considered a malign or even dangerous phenomenon in
European politics yet it remains unclear what populism is and who its exponents
are. This study identifies populist parties across 31 European countries and
explains their electoral performance, arguing that they should be treated seriously
but not seen as a threat to democracy.

EUROPEAN POLITICS
The Golden Dawn’s ‘Nationalist Solution’
Explaining the Rise of the Far Right in Greece
Sofia Vasilopoulou, University of York, UK, Daphne
Halikiopoulou, University of Reading, UK
"This book represents the first sustained,
comprehensive study in English of the Golden
Dawn's origins, social base, ideology, and place
within the extended family of ultranationalist and
neo-populist movements in Europe. This book does
for fascism what Jurassic Park did for dinosaurs."
-Roger Griffin, author of The Nature of Fascism and
Modernism and Fascism
This book contextualizes the rise of the Golden Dawn
within the Eurozone crisis. The authors argue that the
movement's success may be explained by the extent to
which it was able to respond to the crisis of the nationstate and democracy in Greece with its 'nationalist solution': the twin fascist
myths of social decadence and national rebirth.

Economic Equality and Direct Democracy
in Ancient Athens
Larry Patriquin, Department of Sociology, Social
Welfare, and Criminal Justice Studies, Nipissing
University, Ontario, Canada
"This book offers a most useful and an original
contribution to the field – the field being the
very broad one of the interrelationship between
'ancient (Greek)' and 'modern' democracy, and the
possible benefits for modern of studying ancient. It
both engages with and takes forward the modern
scholarly discussion, principally by redefining and
refining the nature of 'equality' in the economic as
opposed to the political sphere of ancient Athenian
democracy." - Paul Cartledge, A.G. Leventis Senior
Research Fellow, Clare College, Cambridge, UK
This book argues that ancient democracy did not stop at the door of economic
democracy, and that ancient Athens has much to tell us about the relationship
between political equality and economic equality. Athenian democracy rested on
a foundation of general economic equality, which enabled citizens to challenge
their exclusion from politics.

have done a fine job of assembling high quality
research and developing a coherent analytical
structure that is used throughout the volume."
- Charles Bukowski, Department of International

differently since Yugoslavia dissolved in the early
1990s. This book analyzes the foreign policies of the post-Yugoslav states, thereby
focusing on the main goals, actors, decision-making processes and influences on

Political Elites and Decentralization Reforms in
the Post-Socialist Balkans
9781137384126
Alexander Kleibrink, Senior Fellow, European Research
Centre for Anti-Corruption and State-Building and
Associated Fellow, Free University Berlin, Germany
"This exemplary study shows why decentralization
reforms have different outcomes: Elites condition
their support on whether such reforms offer greater
access to electoral and patronage resources, and
fewer constraints on distributing them. The book
draws on groundbreaking field research revealing
just how parties use decentralization to control
jobs and fill their coffers. It is a hugely important
contribution to the study of comparative politics,
post-communist democratization and Southeastern
Europe."– Milada A. Vachudova, Professor of Political
Science, University of North Carolina, USA
Across the globe, more powers are being devolved to local and regional levels of
government. This book provides an innovative analysis of such decentralisation
in transition states in the Balkans. Using new and rich data, it shows how political
elites use decentralisation strategically to ensure their access to state resources.

"This is a wonderfully illuminating book presenting
a new incisive analysis of the political economy of

understanding the contradictions of neo-liberal
welfare policies." - Fiona Williams, University of
Leeds, UK
This edited volume assesses from a variety of

highlights the impact of these costly policies on the
creation of low quality jobs and on labour market
dualisation, and questions their social and economic outcomes.

Comparative European Politics
Editors: Colin Hay, University of Sheffield, UK, Ben
Rosamond, University of Copenhagen, Denmark,
Martin A. Schain, New York University, USA
Julian Bernauer, Institute of Political Science, University
of Bern, Switzerland
Arising out of a unique editorial partnership linking
political scientists in Europe and North America,
CEP includes the comparative politics and political
economy of the whole of contemporary Europe, the
processes of European integration and enlargement
and the place of Europe and European states within
global political and economic dynamics.
Ethnicity and ethnic parties have often been portrayed
as a threat to political stability. This book challenges
the notion that the organization of politics in
heterogeneous societies should overcome ethnicity.
Rather, descriptive representation of ethnic groups
has potential to increase regime support and reduce
conflict.

Agenda Dynamics in Spain
Political Decision-Making in Switzerland
The Consensus Model under Pressure
Pascal Sciarini, University of Geneva, Switzerland,
Manuel Fischer, EAWAG, Dübendorf, Switzerland,
Denise Traber, University of Zurich, Switzerland
"In this major new book, three Swiss scholars, basing
their analyses on hundreds of interviews and close
examination of well chosen empirical cases of
policymaking processes, show not only how Swiss
democracy has been transformed, but why. It is an
important and timely examination of, among other
things, the impact of the EU on states that are not
even members and the effects of immigrant-focused
political parties not just on immigration policy, but
on the workings of a nation's political institutions
more broadly." – Prof. Frank Baumgartner,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
This in-depth study of the decision-making processes of the early 2000s shows
that the Swiss consensus democracy has changed considerably. Power relations
have transformed, conflict has increased, coalitions have become more unstable
and outputs less predictable. Yet these challenges to consensus politics provide
opportunities for innovation.

"Laura Chaques Bonafont, Anna Palau, and Frank
Baumgartner deploy the vast database of the
Spanish Policy Agenda Project to show how
policymaking attention is a scarce commodity in the
political process and how it affects policy outcomes.
The book challenges current understandings of
European politics by studying attention allocation
along with the more standard factors of political
preferences and governing institutions, and, as
a consequence, offers new insights into Spanish
politics as well as comparative politics more generally. It is a must-read
for students of public policy processes, comparative politics, and Spanish
politics." – Bryan D. Jones, J.J. 'Jake' Pickle Regents' Chair in Congressional
Studies, University of Texas at Austin, USA
Spanish politics has been transformed. Using new techniques, this book looks at
30 years of Spanish political history to understand party competition, the impact
of the EU, media-government relations, aspirations for independence in Catalonia
and the Basque region, and the declining role of religion.

"A thought provoking study particularly for those who maintain that the
EU's democracy promotion in its neighbourhood has failed." – Professor
Tanja Börzel, Jean Monnet Chair and Director of the Center for European
Integration, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
This book presents a novel 'governance model' of democracy promotion. In
detailed case studies of EU cooperation with Moldova, Morocco, and Ukraine,
it examines how the EU promotes democratic governance through functional
cooperation in the fields of competition policy, the environment, and migration.
John Gaffney, Aston University, Birmingham, UK
"Through a detailed analysis of the public
performance of Hollande's first two and a half years
as French President, Gaffney seizes the opportunity
to explore the very peculiarly personalised
dimension of the Fifth Republic presidency. He uses
his depth of knowledge of France's political culture
and history to offer the reader a highly original and
stimulating reflection on the symbolic dimension
of contemporary political leadership." – Florence

The Revival of Islam in the Balkans
Politicization of Religion, the Power of State,
Nation, and Faith
From Identity to Religiosity
Edited by Arolda Elbasani, Robert Schuman Centre for
Advanced Studies, San Domenico di Fiesole, Italy,
Olivier Roy, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced
Studies, European University Institute, Florence
"This volume offers rich empirical insights into the
diverse forms of lived religiosity amongst Balkan
Muslims, convincingly arguing for a paradigm shift
that decouples religion from the ethno-national
grids of identity and focuses instead on the individual
re-imaginations and personalized practices
emerging outside the institutional control of official
government-sponsored orthodoxies inherited from
socialism. This is an exciting contribution to the
field and compulsory reading for those interested in
Balkan Islam and contemporary religious change in the post-socialist world."
– Ger Duijzings, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Regensburg,
Germany
The Case of Former Yugoslavia and its Successor States
This book shifts analytical focus from macro-politicization and securitization of
Islam to Muslims' choices, practices and public expressions of faith. An empirically
rich analysis, the book provides rich cross-country evidence on the emergence of
autonomous faith communities as well as the evolution of Islam in the broader
European context.
(Ab)use of religion as a political means to an end: the achievement of nationalist
political goals, analyzing 'how' through which mechanisms this phenomenon has
been and still is practiced in South-Eastern Europe.

Refugees and the Meaning of Home
Cypriot Narratives of Loss, Longing and Daily Life in London
Helen Taylor, University of East London, UK
Edited by Gorana Ognjenović, University of Oslo,
Norway, Jasna Jozelić, University of Oslo, Norway
"In difficult times it is easy to fall back on traditional
values, like for example religion or nation, especially
if they were repressed. This happened in mid-eighties
in former Yugoslavia when politicians revoked
national and religious differences using them for
political purposes. But they went one step too far.
What followed were tragic wars. In spite of that,
even twenty years after the war and collapse of the
Yugoslav state, religions continue to be politicized.
This is why the book that shows how it happened,
is so important." - Slavenka Drakulić, Writer and
Political Commentator, Eurozine and Guardian,
author of They Would Never Hurt a Fly: War Criminals on Trial in the Hague (2004)

Politicization of Religion, The Power

The Case of Former Yugoslavia and its Successor States
Edited by Gorana Ognjenović, University of Oslo,
Norway, Jasna Jozelić, University of Oslo, Norway
"A sobering, enlightening and eye opening account
on what has happened and may happen again if
we persist in our refusal to see it for what it was. A
topical study of a burning issue. A must read."
- Zygmunt Bauman, Professor Emeritus of Sociology,
The Bauman Institute, University of Leeds, UK,
author of Modernity and Holocaust (1989) and Liquid
Modernity (2008)
This book explores the meaning of home for Cypriot
refugees living in London since their island was torn
apart by war. Taking an innovative approach, it looks
at how spaces, time, social networks and sensory
experiences come together as home is constructed.
It places refugee narratives at its centre to reveal the
agency of those forced to migrate.

France and the Politics of European Economic
and Monetary Union
Valerie Caton, Visiting Fellow, University of Reading,
UK
"Valerie Caton's book is a sure-footed, impressively
researched and very readable guide to the
conception, negotiation and execution of the EU's
most high-risk project to date. Rarely has France's
decisive role in bending economics to politics
been laid so bare. Her book is essential reading
for understanding the fissile interplay of politics,
economics and diplomatic poker which has brought
Europe to its current crisis of economic performance
and political legitimacy. For all Germany's growing
economic primacy, Caton leaves her readers in
no doubt about France's key role in - and special
responsibility for - resolving that crisis." – Maurice
Fraser, Professor of Practice in European Politics and Head of the European
Institute, London School of Economics, UK
Why did France, with its strong sense of national identity, want to give up the
Franc for the Euro? This book, by a former British diplomat in Paris, draws on new
archive evidence to explore France's drive for European Economic and Monetary
Union, and how unresolved Franco-German tensions over its design led to crisis.
Contents: Preface * PART I: 1970-1991 * Engaging Germany, Modernising France * The Drive
For A European Treaty On Economic And Monetary Union (EMU) * 1. Introduction: Why did
France want EMU? * 2. 1984-88: How the EMU Treaty Project Took Shape * 3. 1988-90:

Policy Transfer in Criminal Justice
Crossing Cultures, Breaking Barriers
Edited by Mary Anne McFarlane, European Consultant,
UK, Rob Canton, De Montfort University, UK
"This admirable case study into managing young
offenders explores the problems that arise when
policy makers attempt to transfer penal policies
and practices from one country to another. Our
understaning of the mechanics of securing penal
change across national borders is greatly enhanced
by this book." - Professor Mick Ryan, University of
Greenwich, London, UK
Will 'what works' in one country work in another? This
unique collection examines the cross-cultural transfer
of skills and expertise, drawing out the opportunities
and challenges involved in taking penal practices from
one country to another.
Contents: PART I: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND * PART II: MANAGEMENT,

Multi-Level Governance and Northern Ireland
Derek Birrell, School of Criminology, Politics and Social
Policy, University of Ulster, UK, Cathy GormleyHeenan, School of Criminology, Politics and Social
Policy, University of Ulster, UK
"This book is a crucial addition to the study of politics
in Northern Ireland. The UK's political science
literature is well served on the topic of conflict in
Northern Ireland, but not its domestic policy and
policymaking. As Birrell and Gormley-Heenan
show, this is not because its policymaking is easy
to understand...Only a book length treatment
does justice to the complicated and sometimes
idiosyncratic nature of policymaking in Northern
Ireland." – Paul Cairney, Professor or Politics and
Public Policy, University of Stirling, UK
This book examines the governance arrangements in Northern Ireland through a
multi-level lens, particularly in the period since the new institutions established
through the 1998 Agreement became more firmly embedded.
This book examines the relationship between urban
migrant movements, struggles and digitality which
transforms public space and generates mobile
commons. The authors explore heterogeneous digital
forms in the context migration, border-crossing and
transnational activism, displaying commonality
patterns and inter-dependence.

Exiting Prostitution
The Struggle for Autonomy
A Study in Female Desistance
Roger Matthews, University of Kent, UK, Helen Easton,
London South Bank University, UK, Lisa Young, Eaves,
UK, Julie Bindel, Journalist and Researcher, UK
"Prostitution is an emotive subject and for too long
warring ideologies have impeded necessary social
scientific evidence gathering on the topic. This study
transcends such debates, treating sex workers
neither as offenders to be punished nor as helpless
victims to be rescued. The result is a fascinating,
important analysis of how women involved in
prostitution are able to take control over their own
lives." - Shadd Maruna, Dean, School of Criminal
Justice, Rutgers University Newark, USA
How people move from deviant to conventional
lifestyles is an issue that has attracted considerable interest over the past few
years. However, much of this work has focused on men desisting from crime. This
book provides one of the first examinations of desistance which is centred on
women and, more specifically, how they exit prostitution.
Contents: 1. Exiting Prostitution: The Debate * 2. Stages of Exiting * 3. Agencies, Policies and
Practices * 4. Barriers to Exiting * 5. Comparing the ‘Routes Out’ for Women Working on Street
and Off Street * 6. The Dynamics of Desistance * 7. Exiting: Policy and Practice

This book examines how feminist movements have
contested the dominant discourses and state politics
that have impeded women's autonomy over their
bodies since the late 1960s. It deals with two important
facets of this struggle, prostitution and the right to
abortion, as they relate to the Czech Republic, the
Netherlands, Portugal and Sweden.

One of the solutions proposed by the European Union

Dianne Otto, Melbourne Law School, Australia
Gender, Informal Institutions
and Political Recruitment
Explaining Male Dominance in Parliamentary Representation
Elin Bjarnegård, Uppsala University, Sweden
"This fascinating new book broadens our horizons
in a number of ways. It firstly challenges us to think
about male dominance rather than female underrepresentation in politics, using a range of methods
and data derived from detailed empirical research.
Second it develops a concept of homosocial capital
and uses it in novel ways to to give us significant new
insights into the gendered impact of clientelism and
informal institutions on candidate selection. This
book is an important addition to the gender and
politics scholarship and deserves to be widely read."
– Georgina Waylen, Professor of Politics, University
of Manchester, UK
This book examines how the Security Council has
approached issues of gender equality since 2000.
Written by academics, activists and practitioners the
book challenges the reader to consider how women's
participation, gender equality, sexual violence and
the prevalence of economic disadvantages might be
addressed in post-conflict communities.

Mackay, Department of Politics, Edinburgh University,
UK
"This superb book is one of those rare collections
that moves a field forward. Scholars of
institutionalism, for all their vital contributions
to the social sciences, have given short shrift to
inequality. Feminist social scientists have made
inequality their core concern ... Krook and Mackay
... open up a pathbreaking terrain for the study
of feminist institutionalism." – Mary Fainsod
Katzenstein, Government Department, Cornell
University, USA
Political institutions profoundly shape political life and are also gendered. This
groundbreaking collection synthesises new institutionalism and gendered analysis
using a new approach - feminist institutionalism - in order to answer crucial
questions about power inequalities, mechanisms of continuity, and the gendered
limits of change.

Paddy McQueen, Queen’s University Belfast, UK
In this book Paddy McQueen examines the role that
'recognition' plays in our struggles to construct an
identity and to make sense of ourselves as gendered
beings. It analyses how such struggles for gender
recognition are shaped by social discourses and power
relations, and considers how feminism can best
respond to these issues.

Women’s Bodies as Battlefield
Christian Theology and the Global War on Women
Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, Chicago Theological
Seminary, USA
"Reverend Thistlethwaite makes an important
contribution to the current debate on the wars we
are waging and how they affect violence against
women. Her treatment of Christian notions of ‘just
war’ makes this essential reading for those who
are motivated by Jesus' words: 'Blessed are the
peacemakers.'‘ - Jimmy Carter, 39th President if the
United States, Co-Founder of The Carter Center
Christian theology has been complicit in justifying
the war on women, but it also has resources to help
finally declare peace in the war on women. War itself
has come to resemble the war on women, and thus
strategies to end the war on women, supported by new Christian theological
interpretations, will also help end today's endless wars.

GENDER AND POLITICS
Gender and Power
Regulating Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
in the United States
Towards Equality and Democratic Governance
Edited by Mino Vianello, Sapienza Università di Roma,
Italy, Mary Hawkesworth, Rutgers University, USA
"This unique collection couples interdisciplinary breadth
with a rare depth of inclusivity. We read chapters
from political studies, sociology, gender studies and
psychoanalysis – and from North, South, East and West.
Yet all bring an acute spotlight to bear on what is surely
still a key global crisis – the strange and familiar fusion
of gender dynamics and inequalities of power. The book
wears its immense learning lightly and displays a heartwarming compassion and commitment to justice and
equality." – Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical
Psychology, University of Essex, UK, and author of A
New Therapy for Politics?
Bringing together perspectives from multiple disciplines and diverse regions of the
world, this book explores the causes of persistent gender inequalities in public and
private life, their implications for the meaning of democracy in the 21st century, and
strategies for social transformation to attain democratic governance and gender justice.
The Limits of Unlimited Selection
Michelle Bayefsky, National Institutes of Health, USA,
Bruce Jennings, Center for Humans and Nature, USA
"Bayefsky and Jennings have written an
exceptionally smart and thorough analysis of
the ethics, politics, and economics of prenatal
genetic testing. A must-read for anyone who cares
about the future of reproductive technologies
and parenthood." - Thomas H. Murray, President
Emeritus and Senior Research Scholar of the
Hastings Center, USA
Reproductive technology allows us to test embryos'
genes before deciding whether to transfer them to a
woman's uterus. Embryo selection raises many ethical
questions but is virtually unregulated in the United
States. This comprehensive study considers the ethical, medical, political, and
economic aspects of developing appropriate regulation.

Domestic Violence Laws in the
United States and India
Sexuality and Globalization
An Introduction to a Phenomenology of Sexualities
Laurent Bibard, ESSEC, Paris, Christopher Edwards,
Freelance Translator
"With daring vulnerability and scope, Laurent Bibard
opens us to the sex of our time, to our kind of time
in which we incessantly seek to master nature, each
other and ourselves. This sex has a religious history.
We must step back from our de-sexed modernity
into the possibility of recuperating the contradictory
duality of masculinity and femininity that constitute
us all. Only thus can we reveal our humanness and
create a more habitable world." - Roger Friedland,
Visiting Professor, Media, Culture and
Communication, New York University, USA
A Systematic Comparison of Backgrounds and Implications
Sudershan Goel, Panjab University, India, Barbara A.
Sims, Mars Hill College, USA, Ravi Sodhi, Punjab &
Haryana High Court, India
Domestic Violence Laws in the United States and India is
a comparative study of the domestic violence laws in
India and the United States, seeking to illuminate the
critical issues of intimate partner violence through the
lenses of these two societies.
Contents: 1. Introduction and Scope * 2. Laws of the United
States * 3. Laws of India * 4. International Human Rights Law * 5.
Lessons and Moving Forward * 6. Conclusion
The book argues that a universally widespread virility
currently prevents humans from realizing their sexualities, which are originally
the feminine and the masculine. This obstacle may be traced back to Renaissance
humanism, whose core intention is to take control over the so-called 'nature.’

Rethinking Latin America
Latin America’s Emerging Middle Classes
Economic Perspectives
Edited by Jeff Dayton-Johnson, Monterey Institute of
International Studies, USA
Politicians, business leaders and citizens look with hope
to the Latin American middle class for political stability
and purchasing power, but the economic position of
the middle class remains vulnerable. The contributors
document the remarkable emergence of this middle
group in Latin America, whose measurement turns out
not to be an easy task.

Against Impunity
Francesca Lessa, University of Oxford, UK
"A novel contribution to transitional justice. Lessa
blends nuanced analysis of political memory of
the authoritarian past with an in-depth study of
decisions regarding the full range of institutional
mechanisms (i.e., truth commissions, trials, amnesty,
reparations) used to deal with that past." - Leigh A.
Payne, University of Oxford, UK
This interdisciplinary study explores the interaction
between memory and transitional justice in postdictatorship Argentina and Uruguay and develops a
theoretical framework for bringing these two fields
of study together through the concept of critical
junctures.
This volume describes and analyzes the proliferation of new mechanisms for
participation in Latin American democracies and considers the relationship
between direct participation and the consolidation of representative institutions
based on more traditional electoral conceptions of democracy.

People and State in Socialist Cuba
A History of the FTAA
Ideas and Practices of Revolution
From Hegemony to Fragmentation in the Americas
Marina Gold, Macquarie University, Australia
Marcel Nelson, Queens University, Canada
This book is a political and anthropological analysis
of the concept of Revolution as it is understood and
experienced by Cubans in their daily lives. Urban
agricultural movements, alternative medicine,
self-employment, and migration reveal complex
interactions and disrupt assumptions that the Cuban
sate is a static, anachronistic regime.
Providing a critical account of the collapse of the FTAA
negotiations and alterations to power relations in
the Americas, this book argues that the collapse was
rooted in a ‘crisis of authority’ prompted by growing
opposition in the Americas to US leadership and
the neo-liberal reforms that had been promoted by
Washington since the 1980s.

(FGV), Brazil, Matthew M. Taylor, American University,
USA
Isabel Harbaugh, Mercer, USA
Smallholders and the Non-Farm Transition in
Latin America explores the drivers of agricultural
displacement in Latin America and argues that
government support is essential to help small farmers
gain the skills, financial capital, and opportunities
needed to transition to a profitable alternative in the
non-farm sector.
This volume explores Brazil's perspectives on the
global order. The authors demonstrate that even as
Brazil seeks greater recognition on the world stage, it
also brings important challenges to the US-led liberal
international order.

Social Urbanism and the Politics of Violence
The Medellín Miracle
Business-State Relations and the New Developmentalism
Kate Maclean, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
Medellín, Colombia, used to be the most violent city on
earth, but in recent years, allegedly thanks to its 'social
urbanism' approach to regeneration, it has experienced
a sharp decline in violence. The author explores
the politics behind this decline and the complex
transformations in terms of urban development
policies in Medellín.
Ben Ross Schneider, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, USA
Development economists and practitioners agree that
close collaboration between business and government
improves industrial policy, yet little research exists
on how best to organize that. This book examines
three necessary functions, information exchange,
authoritative allocation, and reducing rent seeking

Islam and Controversy
The Politics of Free Speech After Rushdie
Anshuman A. Mondal, Brunel University, UK
"A highly perceptive analysis of the grounds
and moral - but not necessarily legal - limits of
free speech. It both retains and goes beyond the
important insights of liberalism. Its theoretical
discussion enriches and is in turn enriched by a
shrewd analysis of concrete cases. A most welcome
and timely book." — Lord Bhikhu Parekh, author of
'The Parekh Report: The Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain'
and 'Rethinking Multiculturalism'
Was Salman Rushdie right to have written The Satanic
Verses? Were the protestors right to have done so?
What about the Danish cartoons? This book examines
the moral questions raised by cultural controversies,
and how intercultural dialogue might be generated within multicultural societies.

Popular Resistance and Marginalized Activism beyond
the Arab Uprisings
Edited by Fawaz A. Gerges, London School of
Economics, UK
While the Arab people took center stage in the Arab

social movement theory.

State, Religion, and Revolution in Iran,
1796 to the Present
Behrooz Moazami, Loyola University New Orleans,
USA
"Adopting a longue durée perspective, Behrooz
Moazami weaves the parallel yet interdependent
narratives of state formation in Iran and the
institutionalization of a differentiated religious
field led by the ulama until they fuse dramatically
in the Iranian Revolution: a revolution that remains
unfinished as long as the fundamental tension
between a theocratic regime and a citizens' republic
remains unresolved. Moazami's comparative
historical analysis challenges equally the historicist
assumptions of Iranian particularism and the
universalist assumptions of Western social scientific
paradigms." - José Casanova, Professor of Sociology and Senior Fellow, Berkley
Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, Georgetown University, USA
This book examines transformation of political and religious spheres in Iran
from the start of the Qajar period to the dramatic post-election crisis of 2009.
It challenges dominant scholarly assumptions about the influence of Shi'ism in
Iranian culture and the role of religious elites.

How Governments Promote “Mystical Islam”
in their Domestic and Foreign Policies
Fait Muedini, Butler University, USA
Sponsoring Sufism argues that governments are
sponsoring Sufism not only because they see it as
an 'apolitical' movement that won't challenge their
existing authority, but also that ties to Sufi orders gives
them religious credibility, something they seek as they
face the rise of Islamist parties.

Hold on Power * 2. What is Sufism? History, Characteristics,
and Politics * 3. Algeria: Abdel Aziz Bouteflika, Sufism, and

Egyptian Revolution 2.0
Political Blogging, Civic Engagement,
and Citizen Journalism
Mohammed el-Nawawy, Knight School of
Communication, Queens University of Charlotte, USA,
Sahar Khamis, University of Maryland, College Park,
USA
"[The authors] bring to bear both a deep theoretical
understanding and compelling qualitative research
to reveal how Egyptian bloggers helped sow the
seeds for Egypt's January 25 Revolution. They
provide a fascinating analysis of how online media
venues shifted from being an authoritarian regime's
'safety valve' to becoming sites of resistance,
empowerment and mobilization for the Egyptian
people. Attending carefully to the subtle interplay
of online activism and 'offline' social and political
conditions, the authors shed genuine light on the
meaning of, and prospects for, both cyberactivism and civic engagement
more generally. Their book is all the more exciting because the five influential
bloggers on whom they focus – four men and one woman – while united in
heroic criticism of the Egyptian government, nonetheless differ considerably
in background, style, and ideology. This book thus exposes a variety and
vibrancy in the Egyptian public sphere with which many Western readers will
simply be unfamiliar." - Peter M. Shane, co-author of Connecting Democracy:
Online Consultation and the Flow of Political Communication
This book sheds light on the growing phenomenon of cyberactivism in the Arab
world, with a special focus on the Egyptian political blogosphere and its role in
paving the way to democratization and socio-political change in Egypt, which
culminated in Egypt's historical popular revolution.
Contents: Acknowledgements * Preface * 1. Blogging as Cyberactivism: Introductory Themes

Oman Reborn
Balancing Tradition and Modernization
Islamic Feminism in Kuwait
Linda Pappas Funsch, Frederick Community College,
USA
The Politics and Paradoxes
Alessandra L. González, Institute for the Studies of
Religion, Baylor University, USA
"Basing her book on interviews and a survey of over
one thousand Kuwaiti college students conducted
in 2008, the author reveals the complexities and
paradoxes inherent in the relationship between
gender, religion, and social traditions in a Muslim
society. What is clear is that activism on behalf
of women's rights can only succeed if viewed as
"legitimate" in the context of religious authority,
community norms, and the political framework.
Muslim women are seeking their own path to
improving their status, one that "fills a niche that
Western, individualistic, and secular-based feminism
could not reach in traditional, majority Muslim
societies . . . Recommended." - Choice
Drawing on interviews and fieldwork in Kuwait and throughout the Arabian
Peninsula, this book explores what cultural elites in the Arab Gulf region have
to say about women's political and cultural rights and how their faith is or is not
related to their politics.

Arab Liberal Thought after 1967
Jeffry R. Halverson, Department of Philosophy and
Religious Studies at Coastal Carolina University, USA
"This is a well-written and interesting book. It deals
with the role, or rather the lack of role according
to the author, of theology in the modern Islamic
world, particularly in the thought of the radical
Islamist movements and their leading thinkers, and
is skeptical of the possibilities of a modern revival
of theological thought. It is an important account of
the topic and the topic itself is important. It should
be used in courses on Islamic studies, the US and
the Middle East, and also in theology, as there is
tremendous interest in this issue today." - Oliver
Leaman, Professor of Philosophy, University of
Kentucky, USA.
This book explores the correlation between anti-theological thought and the rise
of Islamism in the twentieth century by examining Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood
and the leadership of Umar al-Tilmisani (d. 1986).

Edited by Meir Hatina, The Hebrew University of

This volume aims at confronting the image of the
Middle East as a region that is fraught with totalitarian
ideologies, authoritarianism and conflict. It gives voice

question the status quo, and offer alternative visions
for society.

the planet's most urgent problems are to be solved,
then the social sciences are not just necessary but

Inglis, University of Exeter, UK
Published with the support of the Academy for Social
Sciences, this volume provides an illuminating look
at topics of concern to everyone at the beginning of
the twenty-first century. Leading social scientists
tackle complex questions such as immigration,

Cosmopolitanism, Self-Determination
and Territory
Justice with Borders
Oliviero Angeli, Department of Political Science,
University of Dresden, Germany
"This rigorously argued innovative book discusses
the moral significance of territory. Using sharp
analytic tools Dr. Angeli exposes mercilessly the
fallacies in the traditional treatment of issues
including cosmopolitanism and self-determination.
Under his view moral cosmopolitanism does not
preclude territorial rights. This book challenges
the most entrenched beliefs of contemporary
political theorists and provides an original and
a compelling alternative which will greatly
influence contemporary discourse concerning the
international order." – Alon Harel, The Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, Israel
Territorial rights are often perceived to create barriers and discriminate against
the poor. This study challenges that notion by re-examining the cosmopolitan
understanding of territory. It addresses issues from the right to vote, the right to
exclude others to the legitimacy of territorial boundaries and the exploitation of
natural resources.

Edited by Mark McNally, School of Social Sciences,
University of West of Scotalnd
"This volume could have been subtitled 'Resolving
the Gramsci Paradox.' How is it that a political
activist and thinker so deeply concerned with the
specific crises of his turbulent times has remained
such a fertile source of ideas and insights for
theorists and critics addressing the most pressing
social, political and cultural issues of the twenty-first
century? The essays in this volume are distinctive
for simultaneously bringing Gramsci's continuing
relevance into bold relief while greatly enriching
our understanding of the theoretical core of his
perdurable writings." – Professor Joseph Buttigieg,
University of Notre Dame, USA
The thought of Antonio Gramsci continues to enjoy widespread appeal in
contemporary political and social theory. This book draws together some of
the world's leading scholars on Gramsci to critically explore key ideas, debates
and themes in his work in an accessible manner, relating them to contemporary
politics and society.

Elites, Institutions and the Quality
of Government
Edited by Carl Dahlström, University of Gothenburg,
Sweden, Lena Wängnerud, University of Gothenburg,
Sweden
"Elites, Institutions and Quality of Government focuses
on the critical obstacle in democratic politics:
constraining actors who value their own interests
over those of society. Dahlström and Wängnerud's
outstanding contribution moves at a rapid pace
through the data on the quality of government,
corruption, property rights, and gender equality."
– Andy Whitford, Alexander M. Crenshaw Professor
of Public Policy, University of Georgia, USA
To a large extent, elite politicians, bureaucrats, and
businessmen hold the fortunes of their societies in their
hands. This edited volume describes how formal and informal institutions affect
elite behaviour, which in turn affects corruption and the quality of government.

Bisexuality
Cosmopolitanism in a Multipolar World
Identities, Politics, and Theories
Soft Sovereignty in Democratic Regional Powers
Surya Monro, University of Huddersfield, UK
"Despite the interesting discussion about sexual
fluidity that has captured academic attention,
sexual identity categories remain the basis of
identity construction and politics for most of us in
Euro-American nations. For students and professors
wanting a wide-ranging and thoughtful overview
of bisexuality, one need look no further then Surya
Monro's ambitious and engaging book." - Steven
Seidman, State University of New York, USA
This book provides an accessible introduction
to bisexuality studies, set within the context of
contemporary social theory and research. Drawing on
interviews conducted in the UK and Colombia, it maps
out the territory, providing a means of understanding sexualities that are neither
gay, nor lesbian, nor heterosexual.

Johannes Plagemann, Giga Institute of African Affairs,
Germany
"Cosmopolitanism in a Multipolar World is an
extremely sophisticated assessment of regional
powers from a cosmopolitan point of view. It carves
out the cosmopolitan potential in Brazil, India
and South Africa. Soft sovereignty is an apt term
to capture the ambiguities and intricacies of the
political thinking in these rising democracies."
– Dr. Michael Zürn, Director, Global Governance,
Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin, Germany
Based on an analysis of the changing practice of
sovereignty in Brazil, India and South Africa, this book
argues that soft sovereignty provides an adequate,
yet unrecognized, basis for a moderate, embedded and plural cosmopolitanism
situated between globalism's demand for a world state and statism's defence of
the status quo.

Foucault’s Political Challenge
From Hegemony to Truth
Henrik Paul Bang, Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis, University of
Canberra, Australia
"Henrik Bang brings Foucault centrally into the political realities of
contemporary democracy: the corruption of governments by economic power,
the decline of popular trust and legitimacy, and the resulting incapacity of
democratic states to address and resolve the multiple crises facing planetary
survival. He shows how the large scale citizen uprisings in recent times are
expressions of Foucault's essential conditions of free expression and resistance
to political power. The question at the heart of Foucault's Political Challenge is
whether leaders and entrenched power systems can find ways to engage their
own people in an ongoing process of critical inquiry and power sharing. This
book updates Foucault's life work for our times." – W. Lance Bennett, Professor
of Political Science and Ruddick C. Lawrence Professor of Communication,
University of Washington, Seattle, USA

authority with practices of freedom. It starts from the older Foucault's claim that
where there is obedience there cannot be government by truth. Then it shows
how this claim runs like a red thread through his entire life project.

The History and Theory of Fetishism
A Theory of Truces
Alfonso Maurizio Iacono, University of Pisa, Italy
Nir Eisikovits, Department of Philosophy, Suffolk University, Boston, USA
This book aims to provide the historical context necessary to understanding the
concept of 'fetishism' and offers an overview of the ideologies, prejudices, and
critical senses that shaped the Western observer's view of otherness and of his
own world.
This book argues that understanding truces is crucial for our ability to wind down
wars. We have paid too much attention to the idea of permanent peace, yet few
conflicts end in this way. The book describes how truce makers think, which truces
can be morally justified and provides a philosophical history of truce making in the
Western tradition.

Towards an Individuated Approach to Cultural Diversity
An Interdisciplinary Reader
Edited by Patricia Stapleton, Worcester Polytechnic

"One of the strengths of this collection is the
variety of approaches to analyzing the intersections
between utopian aspirations and concepts of the
body. The topics discussed can as specific as physical
fitness programs during wartime, pre-implantation
genetic diagnoses in fertility treatments, and in vitro
meat projects and as general as the technophobia is
some science fiction, the need for dialogues between
humanists and scientists, and for the development
of convincing ethical standards for biotechnology."

Shakespeare’s Political Wisdom
Timothy W. Burns, Baylor University, USA
"In his powerful treatment of five of Shakespeare's
greatest works, Tim Burns lays out with a
remarkable clarity and elegance the political wisdom
central to these particular dramas. In doing so, he
shows us how Shakespeare allows us to recover a
classical conception of politics from the distortions
of a politicized Christianity and the unexamined
prejudices imposed on us by modern liberal
politics. But Burns does more than just argue that
Shakespeare's plays provide an occasion for serious
moral and political reflection. His interpretations
show how Shakespeare educates us through plays
designed to purify our understanding of morality and
of political life. Shakespeare's Political Wisdom is indispensable for all those
who seek such understanding." - Bernard Dobski, Associate Professor and

Radicals and Reactionaries in
Twentieth-Century International Thought
Governmentality and Counter-Hegemony
in Bangladesh
Edited by Ian Hall, Australian National University
S.M. Shamsul Alam, Brac University, Bangladesh
The history of international thought is a flourishing
field, but it has tended to focus on Anglo-American
realist and liberal thinkers. This book moves beyond
the Anglosphere and beyond realism and liberalism. It
analyses the work of thinkers from continental Europe
and Asia with radical and reactionary agendas quite
different from the mainstream.
Using Michel Foucault's idea of governmentality, this
book reinterprets various cases of revolt and popular
uprisings in Bangladesh. It attempts to synthesize the
theories of Foucault's governmentality and Antonio
Gramsci's notions of hegemony and counterhegemony.

Constitutive Justice
William A. Barbieri Jr., The Catholic University of
America, USA
Both classical and modern accounts of justice largely
overlook the question of how the communities within
which justice applies are constituted in the first place.
This book addresses that problem, arguing that we
need to accord a place to the theory of 'constitutive
justice' alongside traditional categories of distributive
and commutative justice.

Fernando Esposito, Universität Tübingen, Germany
"In its fascinating investigation of the cult of aviation
under Mussolini and Hitler, Fascism, Aviation and
Mythic Modernity demonstrates the extraordinary
synthesis of technological hypermodernity with
heroic palingenetic myth which pervaded the two
regimes. Its blend of impeccable scholarship with
sophisticated conceptualization should convince
even the most blinkered 'empiricists' that, far from
being anti-modern, inter-war fascism represented
in its own way a profoundly modernist response to
the crisis of liberal capitalist civilization." – Professor
Roger Griffin, Oxford Brookes University, UK
Flying and the pilot were significant metaphors of
fascism's mythical modernity. Fernando Esposito traces the changing meanings
of these highly charged symbols from the air show in Brescia, to the sky above the
trenches of the First World War to the violent ideological clashes of the interwar
period.

Spectators in the Field of Politics
Sandey Fitzgerald, Macquarie University,UK
"This is thoughtful, detailed and imaginative project
that clears much ground. The investigation of the
role of spectatorship in contemporary politics
that values it for itself is groundbreaking. The
author clarifies the often confused concepts of
theatricality, drama, dramaturgy, performance,
and performativity. The book lays the foundations
of a new approach to topic area and deserves a
wide readership." - Brian Longhurst, Professor of
Sociology, University of Salford, UK
The book uses the long-standing theatre metaphor
to bring political spectators out into the open, finding
that they can be politically powerful. Filling out the
metaphor with theatre theory, the book also finds that the metaphor can produce
a viable model of democratic politics that incorporates spectators in a positive,
meaningful way.

Marx, the Body, and Human Nature
Philosophy and Politics in Aristotle’s Politics
John Fox, Victoria University, Australia
Curtis N. Johnson, Lewis and Clark College, USA
Marx, the Body, and Human Nature shows that the
body and the broader material world played a far
more significant role in Marx's theory than previously
recognised. It provides a fresh 'take' on Marx's theory,
revealing a much more open, dynamic and unstable
conception of the body, the self, and human nature.
Johnson argues that Aristotle's Politics needs to
be understood as a 'two-layered' treatise - the first
being Aristotle's political theory, and the second
as a set of questions for statesmen and politicians.
Employing this model, the book sets about to provide
a reconceptualization of Politics as a multi-layered,
canonical work.

The Rule of Law and the Rule of God
Edited by Simeon O. Ilesanmi, Department of Religion,
Wake Forest University, USA, Win-Chiat Lee,
Department of Philosophy, at Wake Forest University,
USA, J. Wilson Parker, Wake Forest University School of
Law, USA
"Conference proceedings rarely make good books,
but this is the happy exception. Ilesanmi and his
colleagues have brought together a scintillating
set of papers that focus, for the most part, on those
areas of actual and potential conflict between shari'a
and the demands of liberal democracy. This is a rich
interdisciplinary collection that is sure to surprise
and illuminate all sides." - G. Scott Davis, Lewis T.
Booker Professor of Religion and Ethics, University of
Richmond, USA
This book examines the competing regimes of law and religion an offers a
multidisciplinary approach to demonstrate the global scope of their influence.
It argues that the tension between these two institutions results from their
disagreements about the kinds of rule that should govern human life and society,
and from where they should be derived.

Weak States in International Relations Theory
The Cases of Armenia, St. Kitts and Nevis, Lebanon,
and Cambodia
Hanna Samir Kassab, University of Miami, USA
This book seeks to explain why weak states exist within
the international system. Using the cases of Armenia,
St. Kitts and Nevis, Lebanon, and Cambodia, the author
argues that, if a state is weak and vulnerable, then it can
practice an unexpected degree of relative autonomy
unfettered by great powers.

Uncivil Engagement and Unruly Politics
Charles Taylor’s Ecological Conversations
Disruptive Interventions of Urban Youth
Politics, Commonalities and the Natural Environment
Femke Kaulingfreks, Institute for the Study of Societal
Issues, University of California Berkeley, USA
"This book provides an important contribution to
literature that considers young people's involvement
in civil disorder. It is based upon extensive field
research that explores the political meaning of
disruptive interventions and, by doing so, provides a
voice to the powerless who are marginalised by the
operations of conventional political activity." – Peter
Joyce, Principal Lecturer in Criminology, Manchester

disturbances caused by marginalized youth with a
migrant background in France and the Netherlands,
and how their demands for recognition, justice and equal opportunities are voiced
in uncivil, yet politically meaningful ways.

Norman Levine, Emeritus Professor and Executive
Director at the Institute for International Policy, USA
Marx's Rebellion Against Lenin, by negating the

Theatre and Human Rights after 1945
Things Unspeakable
Edited by Emilie Morin, University of York, UK, Mary Luckhurst, University of York, UK
"This book defines vitally important new territory in thinking about the
intersection of theatre, social engagement, and human rights. Nuanced
readings of 20th and 21st-century performance practices investigate the
unique role of theatre in relation to issues such as post-conflict violence,
torture, elder abuse, political censorship, corporate labour practices, and
disability. Cathy Caruth analyses the politics of listening and Catherine Cole
writes magisterially on institutional ethics and the performance of genocide.
This is a brilliant expose of the way performance can sometimes transcend and
sometimes spectacularly fail in the wake of the famously unspeakable horrors
of Auschwitz." - Yoni Prior, Deakin University, Australia
This volume investigates the rise of human rights discourses manifested in the
global spectrum of theatre and performance since 1945. Essays address topics
such as disability, discrimination indigenous rights, torture, gender violence,
genocide and elder abuse.

Integration and New Limits
on Citizenship Rights
Denmark and Beyond
Nicole Stokes-DuPass, Holy Family University, USA
"Through rigorous empirical and theoretical
analysis, Stokes-DuPass provides insightful ways of
understanding how Danish citizenship and identity
formation exclude migrants with non-European
backgrounds. Stokes-DuPass rightly argues that
the nation-state continues to be an important locus
of power in structuring and regulating the unequal
relationships between ethnic Danes and naturalized
Danes. This is a critical and timely contribution to the
study of citizenship in Scandinavia that is tormented
by explicit anti-immigration forces. Stokes-DuPass
has written an original and knowledgeable book and
has made a significant contribution to the field of
Nordic migration and citizenship studies." - Barzoo
Eliassi, Senior Lecturer, Linnaeus University and Research Associate at Oxford
University and the Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University
Integration and New Limits on Citizenship Rights is a state-centered analysis of
citizenship, immigration and social identity. It explores the increasing role of
nation states as critical actors in using social policy to affect the social location of
immigrants and ethnics and also to redefine what it means to be a full citizen.

Environment, Political Representation
and the Challenge of Rights
Polity
Edited by Cyrus Ernesto Zirakzadeh, Univesity of
Conneticut, USA
Speaking for Nature
Mihnea Tanasescu, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
"This book opens up new and fascinating territory:
It is the first detailed analysis of the idea and legal
reality of 'the rights of nature'. What makes it
even more interesting is that Tanasescu offers an
exceptionally fruitful blend of precise conceptual
analysis and thorough empirical research. Not
to mention that it is simply a very pleasant
read." - M.L.J. Wissenburg, Radboud University, The
Netherlands
Tanasescu examines the rights of nature in terms
of its constituent parts. Besides offering a thorough
theoretical grounding, the book gives a first detailed
overview of the actual cases of rights for nature so far.
This is the first comprehensive treatment of the rights of nature to date, both
analytically and in terms of actual cases.

The return of interest in socialism and the critique of
capitalism make Beyond Post-Socialism a timely work.

UNDP’s Engagement with the Private Sector,
1994-2011
Queering the Biopolitics of Citizenship
in the Age of Obama
Zarlasht M. Razeq, University of Ottawa, Canada
"The UNDP's Engagement with the Private Sector
begins with a great puzzle: why has the UNDP taken
a U-turn in its attitude to engaging with business
since the late 1990s? In answering it, the book
suggests that changing norms on corporate social
responsibility played a more significant role than
state interests or functional concerns. Drawing
on interviews and document analysis, Razeq has
written a thoughtful and original contribution to our
understanding of how international organizations
work in a changing global context." - Jacqueline Best,
University of Ottawa, Canada
An engaging explanation and unique analysis of the
increased involvement of the private sector in one of the world's most influential
development organizations, the United Nations Development Programme.
Contents: 1. Introduction * 2. International Organizations and Policy Innovation in the Theories
of IR * 3. The United Nations Development Programme and the private sector for development
* 4. Explaining the Causes of Policy Innovation * 5. Conclusion
Judy Rohrer, Western Kentucky University, USA
"Pairing seemingly disparate events—Barack
Obama's presidential election and California's
gay marriage ban—Rohrer explores troubled and
troubling histories of U.S. exceptionalism, civil rights
discourse, reproduction, and blood logics. In the
process, she challenges readers to rethink concepts
of time, progress, citizenship, sovereignty, justice,
and imagined futures. Drawing on Indigenous,
queer, critical race, feminist, and disability
studies, this timely resource deftly critiques
ableism, heterosexism, racism, and the politics of
governmentality. Highly recommended." - Susan
Burch, Associate Professor of American Studies,
Middlebury College, USA
The book from the interdisciplinary fields of queer theory, critical race theory,
feminist political theory, disability studies, and indigenous studies to demonstrate
that analyzing contemporary notions of citizenship requires understanding the
machinations of governmentality and biopolitics in the (re)production of the
proper citizen.

The Singular Politics of Derrida and Baudrillard
New Perspectives
Mihail Evans, Institute for Advanced Studies, Romania
Christian Bueger, Cardiff University, UK, Frank
Gadinger, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
Recent years have seen the rise of anti-politics as a
political phenomenon. Beyond this new rejection of the
political class there has long existed a deeper challenge
to the political itself. Identifying the work of Derrida
as 'a politics' and that of Baudrillard as 'transpolitics'
this book charts convergences and divergences in their
approaches.
How does the practice turn play out in international
relations? This study offers a concise introduction
to the core approaches, issues and methodology of
International Practice Theory, examining the design,
strategies and technique of practice theoretical
research projects interested in global politics, and
outlining issues for a future agenda.
Contents: Introduction * 1. The Symbolic and the Impossible *
2. The Subject of the Simulacrum * 3. The Media of the Event * 4.

The Federalist Papers and Institutional Power
In American Political Development
Global Modernity
A Conceptual Sketch
Volker H. Schmidt, National University of Singapore,
Singapore
"To say this book is impressive would be an
understatement. It gets at the heart of a matter
that is central to the social sciences and that has
been discussed for a long time. Highly thoughtful
and extremely well written, the book combines
a wealth of insights from a multitude of sources
and disciplines. It thereby makes a major,
fascinating contribution to our understanding of
the contemporary world. A must read for anyone
interested in social theory today." - Zaheer Baber,
Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto,
Canada
This book introduces the concept of global modernity as a paradigm for the
analysis of the contemporary era. Building on Parson's distinction between social,
cultural, personal and organismic systems, it presents a four-dimensional scheme
that aims to identify modernity's key structural components.
Contents: 1. Introduction * 2. Phases of Modernity * 3. Epistemological and Methodological
Challenges * 4. A Four-dimensional Scheme of Modernization * 5. Global Modernization in

William Van Lear, Belmont Abbey College, USA
"This book provides a thoughtful, comprehensive
examination of the connection between economic
forces and social policy. Issues such as income
distribution and government spending are of greater
concern to most Americans as the gaps between
social classes continue to widen. Van Lear provides
a compelling argument for why every American
should be more concerned about the declining
vitality of our economy and the implications it holds
for our future." - Jennifer Szakaly, Belmont Abbey
College, USA
The book explains how social outcomes result from
the influence of economic ideas which are themselves
strongly impacted by the distribution of power in society. The book examines
policies and programs of contending interests, emphasizing the importance of
socio-economic issues stemming from quasi-economic stagnation.
Contents: 1. Ideas versus Vested Interests * 2. A Political-Economic History of the U.S. * 3.

This book reconnects The Federalist Papers to the study of American politics and
political development, arguing that the papers contain previously unrecognized
theory of institutional power, a theory that enlarges and refines the contribution
of the papers to political theory, but also reconnects the papers to the study of
American politics.

"Wirls' fresh and compelling treatment of
institutional power and dynamics in The Federalist
Papers reveals what has been neglected in thinking
about this canonical work. It also illuminates what
we stand to gain in adopting The Federalist Papers'
view of institutional power: offering us a way to
understand more fully what political development
looks like and why it takes the form that it does.
Wirls' book will be of interest to scholars of both
American Political Thought and American Political
Development, setting an ambitious agenda for
future scholarship that combines areas of study that
too often sit apart." - George Thomas, Claremont

predicament.

Julia O’Connell Davidson, University of Nottingham,
UK
"Passionately written, brilliantly researched and
replete with powerfully logical analysis, Julia
O'Connell's book should be required reading
for anyone claiming leadership in today's 'new
abolitionist movement.' Modern Slavery and the
Margins of Freedom establishes beyond dispute that
today's self-described antislavery movement fails
to address the fundamental realities of what slavery
actually is and what is driving its rapid expansion
all over the globe. Why, the book asks, do today's
abolitionists focus so narrowly on certain forms of
enslavement while utterly ignoring so many other
equally heinous practices? The deeply disturbing
answers to this question demand that today's abolitionists reexamine our
beliefs and revise our basic assumptions." - James Brewer Stewart, Founder,

Global Rectificatory Justice
Göran Collste, Linköping University, Sweden
"This book covers a significant gap in the literature
on global justice by focusing on an important topic:
that of rectificatory justice for past international
injustices… It corners a nice niche and should serve
as a reference point for future discussion on the
subject, which it will also help excite." - Kok-Chor
Tan, University of Pennsylvania, USA.
What are the implications of colonialism for a theory
of global justice today? What does rectificatory justice
mean in the light of colonialism? What does global
rectificatory justice require in practice? The author
seeks to answer these questions covering a significant
gap in the literature on global justice.

Governance Transfer by Regional
Organizations
Patching Together a Global Script
Edited by Tanja A. Börzel, Freie Universität Berlin,
Germany, Vera van Hüllen, Leuphana Universität
Lüneburg, Germany
This volume explores the conditions under which
regional organizations engage in governance transfer
in and to areas of limited statehood. The authors
argue that a global script of governance transfer by
regional organizations is emerging, where regional and
national actors are adapting governance standards and
instruments to their local context.

Post-frontier Resource Governance
Indigenous Rights, Extraction and Conservation
in the Peruvian Amazon
Peter Bille Larsen, University of Lucerne, Switzerland
"Moving beyond previous studies of the frontier,
Peter Bille Larsen proposes an original concept
'the post-frontier', inviting the reader to revisit the
problem in all its complexity in an uncompromising
and bold manner. Oil and mining projects are
juxtaposed with indigenous territorial titles and
protected areas, as the two sides of the same
dynamics. A radical book and a highly interesting
theoretical contribution to understand a burning
topical issue that directs anthropological reflection
towards new horizons." - Alexandre Surrallés,
Instituto Francés de Estudios Andinos Laboratoire
d'anthropologie sociale (IFEA), Collège de France
This book brings together a stellar group of

Singapore, Singapore, Robin Bush, Research Triangle

University of Singapore, Singapore
"Originating from a conference hosted by an
academic powerhouse, the Asia Research Institute
(ASI), National University of Singapore, Religion and
the Politics of Development is much more coherent
than most edited compilations. It combines a
sophisticated, questioning editorial vision with
ethnographic richness, and substantially expands
the existing body of comparative research literature
on this topic. The quasi-religious character of
supposedly secular movements and institutions is
thoughtfully exposed, including those that sacralize
'development', while pro-poor initiatives are shown to be dangerously
narrow-minded when they are grounded in a dismissive approach to religion.
The reader is left in no doubt about the deficiencies of aid and welfare
provision in all the social contexts considered by the twelve contributors, but
is reminded that world politics would be in an even worse state without the
'will to improve'." - Jonathan Benthall, University College London, UK

Global Governance and Regulatory Failure
The Political Economy of Banking
Roman Goldbach, University of Dresden, Germany
"Global Governance and Regulatory Failure stands
out from the plethora of books on financial
regulation and the global financial crisis not only
for the author's thorough examination of the new
transnational regulatory regime, but also for his
innovative and critical analytical approach. This
book is a timely warning to both analysts and
policymakers that the public good of financial
stability may be farther away, not closer." - Philip G.
Cerny, University of Manchester, UK, and Rutgers
University, USA
The author provides a theoretical framework of the
global political economy of banking regulation and
analyses the policies and politics of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
He demonstrates how global governance has contributed to the onset of the
Great Recession and continues to increase the likelihood of future global financial
crises.

Rising Powers and Multilateral Institutions
The BRICs, US ‘Decline’ and Global
Transformations
Ray Kiely, Queen Mary University of London, UK
"It has become widely accepted that the rise of the
South in recent decades, and especially since the western
financial crisis, has transformed world politics and world
economics. In this major new book Ray Kiely carefully
assesses the evidence, questioning how transformative
this rise really is, and whether it entails the decline of the
United States. He offers a sober, searching critique of the
performance of the BRICs, setting out what they have
achieved, but also the limits to their continued progress.
He points to the continuing persistence of international
power relationships and inequality, arguing that these
make it too soon to announce the end of the West. Kiely
injects a welcome dose of realism into current debates,
and no-one involved in them can afford to ignore the
book's arguments." - Andrew Gamble, University of Cambridge, UK
The author examines the rise of the BRICs and the supposed decline of the United
States. Focusing on the boom years from 1992 to 2007, and the crisis years after
2008, he argues that there are limits to the rise of the former and that the extent
of US decline has been greatly exaggerated.

"This is a really useful, high quality edited collection.
It gathers together several distinguished analysts
of global institutions and asks them all to consider
the new issues and changing trends generated
for these institutions by the rise of non-Western
powers in global politics. The book genuinely adds
to our knowledge and understanding in this key,
but often neglected, dimension of global economic
and political change." - Anthony Payne, University of
Sheffield, UK
The rise of new powers such as China and India is sending
shockwaves through the global multilateral system. This
volume systematically examines how 13 multilateral institutions are responding
to this shift, with some deploying innovative outreach and reform activities, while
others are paralyzed by gridlock or even retreat from the global scene.

Oppression and violence are often cited as the pivotal
aspects of modern dictatorships, but it is the collusion
of large majorities that enable these regimes to
function. The desire for a better life and a powerful
national, if not imperial community provide the basis
for the many forms of people's cooperation explored in
this volume.

"A refreshingly new, but sobering account of climate
change displacement, that redefines refugee
and migration studies in the context of a rapidly
approaching global humanitarian crisis." – Tim
Cadman, Griffith University, Australia
Religion and Post-Conflict Statebuilding
Roman Catholic and Sunni Islamic Perspectives
Denis Dragovic, University of Melbourne, Australia
''As an international civil servant, Denis Dragovic
has seen the importance of religion in political life
while serving in conflict zones around the world.
This fascinating study adds to that lived experience
rigour and scholarship, resulting in an insightful
comparative study of Catholicism and Islam.
Building on the themes of salvation and justice,
Dragovic provides new insights into how the deep
purpose that underlies religious belief plays a
crucial role in politics.'' - Professor Anthony F Lang,
Chair in International Political Theory in the School
of International Relations at the University of St
Andrews and Director of the Centre for Global
Constitutionalism
Andrea Simonelli provides the first in-depth evaluation
of climate displacement in the field of political science,
specifically global governance. She evaluates four
intergovernmental organizations (UNHCR, IOM,
OCHA and the UNFCCC), and the structural and
political constraints regarding their potential expansion
to govern this new issue area.

This book draws upon theory and theology to consider how religious institutions
engage with post-conflict statebuilding and why they would choose to lend their
resources to the endeavour. Drawing from the theologies of Roman Catholicism
and Sunni Islam, Dragovic explores their possible motivations to engage alongside
the international community.

MIGRATION, DIASPORAS AND CITIZENSHIP
SERIES
Citizenship and its Others
Edited by Bridget Anderson, University of Oxford, UK,
Vanessa Hughes, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
"Citizenship and its Others invites readers to
look beyond common-sense understandings
of citizenship. It provides a sharp and engaging
reminder that race, class, gender and sexuality are
all of importance in shaping how we experience
both a sense of belonging and a perception of the
'other'. It is a challenge to us all to rethink the terms
of both discourse and politics about citizenship in
our contemporary environment." - John Solomos,
University of Warwick, UK
This edited volume analyzes citizenship through
attention to its Others, revealing the partiality of
citizenship's inclusion and claims to equality by defining it as legal status, political
belonging and membership rights. Established and emerging scholars explore the
exclusion of migrants, welfare claimants, women, children and others.

Fiona Barker, Victoria University of Wellington, New

Examining the evolving responses to immigration,

Bourdieu and Social Movements
Ideological Struggles in the British Anti-Capitalist Movement
Joseph Ibrahim, Leeds Beckett University, UK
The Politics of Leverage in International
Relations
Name, Shame, and Sanction
In this book, Ibrahim employs Bourdieu's key
concepts in order to explain the complex dynamics
of social movements by detailing the key stages of
development of, and ideological conflict between, 21st
century British anti-capitalist organizations, and their
interactions with wider social and political forces.
Edited by H. Richard Friman, Marquette University, USA
"Friman and colleagues make an important
contribution for IR theory and with real policy
relevance. Soft power strategies such as naming and
shaming too often are more embraced than analyzed.
The Politics of Leverage in International Relations provides
an analytic framework which digs deeper with both
intensive case studies on a range of policy areas (human
rights, money laundering, drugs, armed conflict,
corporate social responsibility) that are valuable in
their own right as well as being woven together to get
at patterns showing when, why and how such leverage
can be effective." - Bruce W. Jentleson, Duke University
and Woodrow Wilson Center

The Ministry of Public Input
Integrating Citizen Views into Political Leadership
Jennifer Lees-Marshment, School of Social Sciences,
Auckland, New Zealand
"This is a very timely and important contribution
to the increasingly urgent debate regarding
the revitalisation of democracy. The author
demonstrates the all-too-rare academic leadership
that not only provides a powerful bridge between
theory and practice but also navigates the
frustrating divides that mysteriously persist
between the fields of political theory, public
administration, political leadership and political
marketing." – Professor Brad Jackson, Head of
School of Government, Victoria University of
Wellington, New Zealand
As political leaders acknowledge the limits of their power they increasingly
integrate constructive input from inside and outside government into their
decision-making. A Ministry or Commission of Public Input is necessary to collect,
process and communicate input more effectively and politicians need to work
with the public to identify solutions.

Middle Powers in World Trade Diplomacy
Race, Class, and the Politics of Decolonization
India, South Africa and the Doha Development Agenda
Jamaica Journals, 1961 and 1968
Charalampos Efstathopoulos, Aberystwyth University,
UK
"Global governance is increasingly influenced by
emerging economies, something which the status
quo powers must acknowledge and accommodate.
Nowhere is this better exemplified than in the
discussions within the WTO, not least in the Doha
round of talks. This important book provides a muchneeded comparative analysis of the roles of two key
developing countries — India and South Africa — in
these often contentious deliberations. The author's
detailed analysis gives an excellent overview and
analytical appraisal of how New Delhi and Pretoria
adopted various positions during the Doha process
and why. As the BRICS become ever more important
in global affairs, Charalampos Efstathopoulos' book is a major contribution in
the current debates about the role of Southern powers in global governance
and how this is likely to play out in the future." - Ian Taylor, University of St.
Andrews, UK
Examining how leading developing countries are increasingly shaping
international economic negotiations, this book uses the case studies of India and
South Africa to demonstrate the ability of states to exert diplomatic influence
through different bargaining strategies and represent the interests of the
developing world in global governance.

Amir M. Kamel, University of East London, UK; King’s
College London, UK
"This work dispels the myth of liberal trade theory
and practice being synonymous with peace. Quite
the opposite - they are synonymous with war.
Scholars and policy-makers from all walks of life
would benefit enormously by reading Amir M.
Kamel’s fine account." - Professor Vassilis K. Fouskas,
School of Business & Law, University of East London,
UK
This book analyzes the failure of the EU's peacethrough-trade policy in Iraq and Iran between 1979
and 2009 from a theoretical and empirical perspective.
The author adds to the trade-peace theory debate and
provides evidence supporting the need to review the EU's peace-through-tradepolicy towards Iraq and Iran, and in general.

TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE STATE SERIES
Forum Shopping in International Disputes
The Legitimacy of Regional Integration in
Europe and the Americas
Edited by Achim Hurrelmann, Carleton University,
Canada, Steffen Schneider, University of Bremen,
Germany
"This book analyses politicization and legitimation of
regional governance in Europe and the Americas. The
chapters demonstrate convincingly that legitimacy
matters for regional integration. Although
scholarship on legitimacy in the EU has grown in
recent years the topic has so far only received scant
attention in relation to integration efforts in North
and South America. This is a solid and important
contribution to the literature on comparative
regional integration." - Finn Laursen, University of
Southern Denmark, Denmark
Based on cutting-edge research, this edited volume examines how citizens and
political elites perceive the legitimacy of regional integration in Europe and the
Americas. It analyses public opinion and political discourse on the EU, NAFTA
and MERCOSUR, arguing that legitimation patterns shape the development of
regional governance.
Contents: PART I. POLITICIZATION AND LEGITIMATION TRENDS IN EUROPEAN AND
AMERICAN REGIONALISM * PART II. REGIONAL INTEGRATION AND PUBLIC OPINION

"In her award-winning research, Aletta Mondré
suggests that states actively engage in 'forum
shopping', and highlights the factors informing their
choice of a particular form of settlement. Combining
detailed case studies and solid analysis of dispute
settlement regimes, her book presents a refreshing
take on one of the big contemporary debates at
the fault lines of international law/IR scholarship.
It deserves a wide readership." - Christian J. Tams,
University of Glasgow, United Kingdom
In a dispute, governments weigh up their options
when selecting between various dispute settlement

The Bureaucratization of the World
in the Neoliberal Era
Borderities and the Politics of Contemporary
Mobile Borders
An International and Comparative Perspective
Anne Laure Amilhat Szary, Université Grenoble Alpes,
France, Frédéric Giraut, Université de Genève,
Switzerland
"Fueled by discontent with the 'tautological
binding of territory, state and border,' these authors
respond boldly to calls for new border theories.
Their creative collection offers thought-provoking
and visually-stimulating ideas on the separation
of border controls from locations. These are new
insights in border studies, a field that is old, but everchanging."- Alison Mountz, Wilfrid Laurier University,
Canada
Béatrice Hibou, CERI-Sciences Po/CNRS, France
Contemporary bureaucracy is a set of norms,
rules, procedures, and formalities which includes
administration, business, and NGOs. Where Max
Weber meets Michel Foucault, Béatrice Hibou analyzes
the political dynamics underlying this process.
Neoliberal bureaucracy is a vector of discipline and

of contemporary mobile borders. It deals with
issues of security, technology, migration and cooperation while addressing the
epistemological and political questions that they raise. The 'borderities' approach
illuminates the question of how borders can be the site of both power and
counter-power.

The Uses and Misuses of Human Rights
A Critical Approach to Advocacy
Edited by George Andreopoulos, City University of New
York, USA, Zehra Arat, University of Connecticut, USA
"The Uses and Misuses of Human Rights contributes
invaluably to a more critical and complex
understanding of human rights advocacy. In a
world of violence, we are used to being critical of
human rights abusers, but rarely do we question
the advocates themselves or their strategies. This
project's focus on the uses, abuses, and misuses
of human rights (including the complexities of
'framing') is long overdue, especially given its
nuanced analysis and policy implications. Through a
series of fascinating cases, the authors offer a nonapologetic, balanced look at the achievements and
challenges of human rights advocacy in today's
world." - Sonia Cardenas, Trinity College, USA
This volume focuses on challenges to the effective and proper use of human rights
and tries to identify, through a series of case studies, strategies and contexts
in which human rights advocacy can work in favor of human rights, as well as
situations in which such advocacy may backfire, or unintentionally cause harm.

This book explores how political structures and

Canada, the UK and continental Europe to illustrate
how the design of political structures and the relative
hierarchy of the relations between actors affect how
governments deliver services.
The original scholarly research and first-person accounts
of embodiment in this volume explore the role of bodies

From Corporatism to Governance
Edited by Eva Hartmann, Department of Business and

Kjaer, Department of Business and Politics, Copenhagen
Business School, Denmark
"Hartmann and Kjaer have assembled a remarkable
set of essays on one of the most profoundly
important elements of societal transformation of
this century as it affects an often neglected nexus
point of law and politics. The contributions provide
much needed gap filler, providing valuable insight
on those important spaces between the state, the
international order, and the social order." – Larry
Backer, Professor of Law and International Affairs,
Penn State University, USA
This book investigates the consecutive shifts between three types of intermediary
institutions in the European context: Corporatist, Neo-corporatist and
Governance institutions. It does so by combining insights from European Political
Economy; European Integration and governance studies; and, socio-legal studies
in the European context.

Food, National Identity and Nationalism
The Role of Regional Organizations
in Disaster Risk Management
From Everyday to Global Politics
Atsuko Ichijo, Kingston University, UK, Ronald Ranta,
Kingston University, UK
A Strategy for Global Resilience
Simon Hollis, Swedish National Defence College,
Sweden
"The rise of supra-national organization is a striking
feature of our period. Much of this organization is
regional, rather than global, but the regional structures
have gotten less attention. Simon Hollis has done us a
real service with this extraordinary study of the rise of
Disaster Risk Management arrangements in regional
organizations around the world. His core finding is that
the DRM arrangements dramatically reflect global
ideas and models rather than region-specific ones.
This directly addresses the issue of whether regional
structures fragment global society: it turns out they
are most prominently media for integration." - John W.
Meyer, Stanford University, USA
The use of regional organizations to mitigate and respond to disasters has
become a global trend. This book examines the role regional organizations play in
managing disaster risk through a comparative study of ten regional organizations,
demonstrating their current limitations and future potential.
Exploring a much neglected area, the relationship
between food and nationalism, this book examines
a number of case studies at various levels of political
analysis to show how useful the food and nationalism
axis can be in the study of politics.
Contents: Introduction: Food, nationalism and national identity

Headscarf Politics in Turkey
A Postcolonial Reading
Now
available in
paperback
Merve Kavakci, George Washington University, USA
"A triumphant story of the discrimination against
headscarved women, one which academically
challenges the existing representations and
challenges the reader to question easy assumptions.
Written by a key member in the debate, Headscarf
Politics in Turkey sheds light on one of the most
highly disputed issues on the Turkish political
agenda in the last decade: headscarf policy. Religious
tolerance, women's rights, and modernity are all
important components in this fascinating book by
Merve Kavakci, who looks at the topic from a unique
combination of scholarly distance and personal
involvement. This will be essential reading for
scholars and students of comparative secular and
religious ideologies, political science, and women's studies." - Ambassador
Swanee Hunt, Eleanor Roosevelt Lecturer in Public Policy, Harvard's Kennedy
School of Government, USA
This book questions the 'role model' status of the Turkish Republic with
respect to the advancement of female agency in a secular context by using the
study of women with headscarves as a case in point. Turkey's commitment to
modernization depends heavily on secularism which involves, among other things,
the westernization of women's appearance.

Edited by Alexandra Schwell, University of Vienna, Austria, Nina Szogs, University
of Vienna, Austria, Malgorzata Kowalska, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland,
Michał Buchowski, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland
"Since its invention in the nineteenth century, football has emerged as one of
the most spectacular total social facts of the modern world, in which politics,
economics, religion, and flesh and blood become inextricably entangle.
With rich ethnography, analytic subtlety and theoretical sophistication, the
contributors to this collection explore how football unites and divides, inspires
great deeds and brings out the worst in people, and encapsulates all the
complexities of life in the contemporary moment. This book is sure to inspire
future generations of sport scholars." - Niko Besnier, Professor of Cultural
Anthropology, University of Amsterdam, and co-author of The Anthropology
of Sport
Exploring how football impacts on people's everyday lives, this volume uses
anthropological research methods to scrutinize the social fields of football fans
and the specific socio-cultural contexts in which they are embedded, taking into
account processes of Europeanization, globalization, commercialization and
migration.

Genocide, Torture, and Terrorism

Ranking International Crimes and Justifying
Humanitarian Intervention
Thomas W. Simon, Johns Hopkins-Nanjing University,
China
We are understandably reluctant to ‘rank’ moral
atrocities. What is worse, genocide or terrorism? In this
book, Thomas W. Simon argues that politicians use this
to manipulate our sense of injustice by exaggerating
terrorism and minimizing torture. He advocates
for an international criminal code that encourages
humanitarian intervention.

World Trade, Global Governance and the Case of the WTO
Megan Dee, The University of Warwick, UK
This book builds on the idea that peer-to-peer

trading bloc and economic power, the European Union,
this book offers new insights into how the rise of the
emerging economies has impacted the EU and its role
within the World Trade Organization.

Madhvi Gupta, Birla Institute of Technology and

Technology and Science Pilani, Goa, India
"In this plain-spoken book Gupta and Pushkar
argue that India's 'citizen elites' must do more to
enable the poor in making sustained demands for
health-related services. Their insightful and rigorous
argument draws on a remarkable range of evidence,
from field research in low-income communities
in New Delhi to reflections on citizen activism in
Brazil." - James McGuire, author of Wealth, Health,
and Democracy in East Asia and Latin America
India's health failures remain visible and pronounced
despite high rates of economic growth since the 1980s
and more than six decades of democratic rule. The authors address the key issues
that emerge from the country's health situation, speculating on what it will take
for low-income groups to begin claiming for better social services

The Political Economy of Microfinance
Financializing Poverty
The Humanities, Higher Education, and
Academic Freedom
Three Necessary Arguments
Michael Bérubé, Pennsylvania State University, USA,
Jennifer Ruth, Portland State University, USA
"Finally, a book that defends the humanities not
with violins but rather by linking them to the status
of contingent labor in the academy, and what the
deplorable state of both means for all of us....This
is a bracing and necessary book that should be
mandatory reading for all department chairs — and
everyone else who teaches college." — Leonard
Cassuto, Professor of English, Fordham University,
and columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education
This book is a lively, passionate defence of
contemporary work in the humanities, and, beyond
that, of the university system that makes such work
possible. The book's stark accounts of academic labour, and its proposals for
reform of the tenure system, are novel, controversial, timely, and very necessary.

Philip Mader, Institute of Development Studies, UK
"Microfinance is financialization dressed up as
charity: a pathway for global finance to penetrate
the capitalist periphery. In this richly documented
book, Mader dispels the myth that debt can move
the poor out of poverty. Far from an economics
of liberation, microfinance is part of a politics of
repression: it extracts more wealth than it creates,
and reinforces economic dependence." - Wolfgang
Streeck, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies,
Germany
According to the author, rather than alleviating
poverty, microfinance financialises poverty. By
indebting poor people in the Global South, it drives
financial expansion and opens new lands of opportunity for the crisis-ridden
global capital markets. This book raises fundamental concerns about this widelycelebrated tool for social development.

Governing Disasters
Nuclear Power and Energy Policy
Beyond Risk Culture
The Limits to Governance
Edited by Sandrine Revet, Sciences Po, France, Julien
Langumier, Sciences Po, France
Keith Baker, Oregon State University, USA, Gerry
Stoker, University of Southampton, UK
Based on extensive ethnographic and historical
research conducted in diverse field locations, this
volume offers an acute analysis of how actors at local,
national, and international levels govern disasters; it
examines the political issues at stake that often go
unaddressed and demonstrates that victims of disaster
do not remain passive.
This book explores how different governments have
leveraged their capacity to advance a revival of nuclear
power. Presenting in-depth case studies of France,
Finland, Britain and the United States, Baker and Stoker
argue that governments may struggle to promote new
investment in nuclear power.

in democracy and civic engagement in the design and
development of the 'smart city', exploring new urban
literacies and emergent social practices.

The Core of Care Ethics
Shaping Global Health Policy
Stephanie Collins, School of Social Sciences, University
of Manchester, UK
"Are care ethics a moral theory? Stephanie Collins
offers this synthesis to demonstrate its coherence:
'dependency relationships generate responsibilities.'
After Collins' reformulation, moral philosophers
no longer can ignore care ethics. It is also essential
reading for supporters of care ethics. This is a smart
and indispensable book."– Joan C. Tronto, University
of Minnesota, USA, author of Moral Boundaries: A
Political Argument for an Ethic of Care
The ethics of care has flourished in recent decades yet
we remain without a succinct statement of its core
theoretical commitment. This study argues for a simple
care ethical slogan: dependency relationships generate responsibilities. It uses this
slogan to unify, specify and justify the wide range of views found within the care
ethical literature.
Contents: 1. Introduction * PART I: THE CLAIMS OF CARE ETHICS * 2. Scepticism about
Principles * 3. The Value of Relationships * 4. Caring Attitudes * 5. Caring Actions * PART II:

Adam Kamradt-Scott, University of Sydney, Australia
Drawing on insights from international organization
and securitization theory, the author investigates the
World Health Organization and how its approach
to global health security has changed and adapted
since its creation in 1948. He also examines the
organization's prospects for managing global health
security now and into the future.
Edited by John Fantuzzo, University of Pennsylvania,
USA, Dennis P. Culhane, University of Pennsylvania,

Singapore, Alexander Korolev, National University of
Singapore, Singapore
Preserving Freedom and Dignity in an Age of Mass,
Warrantless Surveillance
Elliot D. Cohen, Brown University, USA
"Technology has long been touted as a great
liberating tool that will improve life. Instead, as Elliot
Cohen trenchantly details, invasive hi-technology
has become a cancerous growth that invades privacy
and creates a surveillance state. Fortunately, Cohen
suggests strategies to rein in the perilous danger of a
government that can monitor our every move - and
perhaps soon our thoughts." — Mark Karlin, Editor of
BuzzFlash at Truthout
In the aftermath of the Edward Snowden leaks, the

and Social Learning in Russia
The Case of Housing Policy
Marina Khmelnitskaya, St. Antony’s College, University
of Oxford, UK
"This book offers fascinating insights into Russian
and earlier Soviet policy-making and the role of
social learning in one crucial domain, housing
policy. Marina Khmelnitskaya's rich and insightful
analysis moves the discussion on policy-making in
contemporary Russia and social learning further and
deserves to be considered carefully."– Martin Lodge,
Professor of Political Science and Public Policy,
London School of Economics, UK
Atheist Secularism and Its Discontents takes a
comparative approach to understanding religion under
communism, arguing that communism was integral to
the global experience of secularism. Bringing together
leading researchers whose work spans the Eurasian
continent, it shows that appropriating religion was
central to Communist political practices.

Politics and Legitimacy in Post-Soviet Eurasia
The Politics of War Commemoration
in the UK and Russia
Nataliya Danilova, University of Aberdeen, UK
"By systematically comparing British and Russian
commemorative practices, Danilova's critical
assessment of claims for the emergence of
post-heroic warfare conducted by post-modern
armed forces makes a valuable contribution
to understanding how these societies strive to
neutralise political debate over the aims and
practices of contemporary wars." - T. G. Ashplant,
Senior Visiting Research Fellow, Centre for LifeWriting Research, King's College London
This book analyses contemporary war commemoration
in Britain and Russia. Focusing on the political aspects
of remembrance, it explores the instrumentalisation
of memory for managing civil-military relations and garnering public support
for conflicts. It explains the nexus between remembrance, militarisation and
nationalism in modern societies.

Centering its study around three explanatory variables
- actors, institutions and ideas - this book argues that
Russia's hybrid institutional environment reduces
the competition of policy ideas, both at the stage of policy elaboration by the
community of state and non-state policy experts, and also at the stage of policy
adoption by parliament.

Hall Gardner, International and Comparative Politics
Department, American University of Paris, France
Gardner examines the causes and consequences of

Marianna S. Landa, University of Maryland, College
Park, USA
"Landa's reconstruction of the poet Maximilian
Voloshin's world is unforgettable. It derives its
power from masterful analysis of the complex
relationship between Voloshin's poetry, historical
events, and reader reception - both in the
tumultuous years surrounding the Revolutions of
1917, and the cataclysmic decades since the USSR
ended in 1991. The result is a bold meditation on
Russian identity." - Glennys Young, Professor of
History and International Studies, University of
Washington, USA
Famed and outspoken Russian poet, Maximilian
Voloshin's notoriety has grown steadily since his slow release from Soviet
censorship. For the first time, Landa showcases his vast poetic contributions,
proving his words to be an overlooked solution both to the political and cultural
turmoil engulfing the Soviet Union in the early twentieth century.

Informal Economies in Post-Socialist Spaces
The State of Russia: What Comes Next?
Practices, Institutions and Networks
Edited by Maria Lipman, Independent Analyst, Moscow,
Russia, Nikolay Petrov, Professor, Higher School of
Economics, Moscow, Russia
"This book thoroughly analyses the dramatic and
disturbing changes Russia has seen in the past twelve
months. The country has become sharply more
authoritarian, more nationalist, and more hostile
to the West. Only by understanding Russia can we
respond intelligently to it. This book is an important
contribution." - Sir Anthony Russell Brenton, KCMG,
British Ambassador to Russia, 2004–08
Following the crisis in Ukraine, the Putin regime
made political choices that will determine Russia's
development for years to come. This cutting edge
Pivot makes a key contribution to the debate on Russia's development and traces
emerging trends in various spheres of Russian life, from the economy and foreign
policy, to society and ideology.
Edited by Jeremy Morris, University of Birmingham, UK,
Abel Polese, Dublin City University, Ireland and Tallinn
University, Estonia
Informed by in-depth case studies focusing on a wide
spectrum of micro and macro post-socialist realities,
this book demonstrates the multi-faceted nature of
informality and suggests that it is a widely diffused
phenomenon, used at all levels of a society and by both
winners and losers of post-socialist transition.

POLITICAL COMMUNICATION
Anthropology, Theatre, and Development
The Transformative Potential of Performance
Young Citizens and Political Participation
in a Digital Society
Addressing the Democratic Disconnect
Philippa Collin, University of Western Sydney, Australia
"Young Citizens and Participation in a Digital Society
is an important and very timely contribution to a
question that lies at the heart of our democratic
malaise. Collin draws upon a vast literature to
unmask the illusions, the contradictions and the
speculative commentaries that have dogged serious
discourse on young people's political and civic
participation." - Eric Sidoti, University of Western
Sydney, Australia
Edited by Alex Flynn, Durham University, UK, Jonas
Tinius, King’s College, University of Cambridge, UK
"When is reflection political, ethical? This
multidimensional collection on performance as
theatre opens up an arena for exploration through
the sheer audacity of its scope. Anthropologically
informed, diversely interpreted, it is a compelling
example of unexpected collaborations." - Marilyn
Strathern, University of Cambridge, UK
The contributors explore diverse contexts of performance
to discuss peoples' own reflections on political
subjectivities, governance and development. The volume
refocuses anthropological engagement with ethics,
aesthetics, and politics to examine the transformative
potential of political performance, both for individuals and wider collectives.
Drawing on diverse theoretical perspectives, this
book examines questions of youth citizenship and
participation by exploring their meanings in policy,
practice and youth experience. It examines young
people's participation in non-government and youth-led organisations, and asks
what can be done to bridge the democratic disconnect.

The Play of Political Culture, Emotion
and Identity
Writing Neoliberal Values
Rhetorical Connectivities and Globalized Capitalism
Candida Yates, Bournemouth University, UK
Rachel C. Riedner, Associate Professor of Writing and
Women’s Studies, George Washington University, USA
"Rachel Riedner constructs a piercing transnational
feminist analysis of contemporary human-interest
stories. The book's archive of the unsubstantial
reveals the pervasive rhetorical force that draws on
affective cultural scripts and is underwritten by a
global capitalist political economy. Not only does
Riedner brilliantly interrogate the violence of value
encoded in the rhetoric of neoliberal inclusion; she
offers a rich critical literacy to bring into crisis our
most baleful contemporary settlements." – Keith P.
Feldman, Assistant Professor of Comparative Ethnic
Studies, UC Berkeley, USA
This book examines human-interest stories, unpacking from them violence
inherent to neoliberalism, and considers if it is possible to find in these stories hints
of people and labour that suggest other narratives.
Contents: Acknowledgements * Foreword: Writing Human Interest Stories: Present and
Future Value * 1. Writing Value in a Neoliberal World: Necropolitics and Affective Rhetoric *
2. Transnational Ghosts: Regimes of Friendship, Neoliberal Abandonment, and Discourses of
Mourning * 3. Lives of In-Famous Women: Gender, Political Economy, Nation-State Power and
Persuasion in Neoliberal World * 4. Writing Women’s Capacities in Cape Town’s Urban Gardens:
* Gendered Survival Practices and Transnational Feminist Literacies * And more...
Offering a uniquely 'psycho-cultural' take on the
emotional dynamics of UK political culture this book
uses theories and research in psychoanalysis, cultural
and media studies and political sociology. It explores
the cultural and emotional processes that shape our
relationship to politics in a media age, referencing
Joanna Lumley to Nigel Farage.

Kurdish Identity, Discourse, and New Media
Now
available in
paperback
Jaffer Sheyholislami, Carleton University, Canada
"This long-overdue study provides a very lively survey of the making and
unmaking of national identity in the context of unceasing conflicts between
the Kurds, the states ruling over them, and regional and great powers involved
in the region. Coherent, compelling, and creative, it pushes the boundaries of
the growing area of studies of nationalism, communication technologies, and
the internet by focusing on one of the most complex (trans)national cases,
and demonstrating that the new media both unite and divide the nation.
Well written and significant [.]" - Amir Hassanpour, Associate Professor,
Department of Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations, University of Toronto,
Canada
Informed by the interdisciplinary approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)
and theories of identity, nation, and media, this study investigates the ways
Kurds, the world's largest stateless nation, use satellite television and internet to
construct their identities.

Adrian Hadland, University of Stirling, UK
"This timely book challenges conventional thinking
and will become a touchstone for future theorising

professional and the political, Hadland provides an
essential investigation of the relationship of media

The Political Marketing
Game Now
available in
paperback
Jennifer Lees-Marshment, School of Social Sciences,
Auckland, New Zealand
"The Political Marketing Game by Jennifer LeesMarshment is about as thorough an analysis of a
discipline, regarded as much an art as it is a science,
that one could ever hope for... Undoubtedly,
the highlights of the book are the musings of
communication directors, political representatives,
pollsters and strategists including (amongst many
others) Alastair Campbell, Iain Duncan Smith and
Philip Gould, on their various electoral battles...This
is a hugely informative study on an important field
that is changing and developing at an extraordinary
rate." – Progress magazine
The Political Marketing Game identifies what works in political marketing, drawing
on 100 interviews with practitioners. It also shows that authenticity, values and
vision are as much a part of a winning strategy as market-savvy pragmatism.

Metaphor and Political Discourse
Analogical Reasoning in Debates about Europe
9781137516428
Now
available in
paperback
Andreas Musolff, University of East Anglia, UK
"Andreas Musolff's book provides an overview of the impressive expertise
the author has gained in the area of discourse analysis on the topic of
Europe over the years. It is recommended for anyone interested in discourse
analysis, and a valuable source for classes on comparative discourse
analysis. The book should also be of interest to cognitive linguists working
on metaphor. The author's corpus-based cognitive analysis constitutes a
significant methodological contribution to the study of the dynamics of
metaphor. Musolff's broad knowledge of metaphor theories in the fields of
both linguistics and philosophy as well as his integration of contemporary
thinking about language and cognition - e.g., Sperber's 'epidemiology' of
representations - make for a stimulating and though-provoking read." - Jörg
Zinken, University of Portsmouth, UK
This book provides an analysis of the function of metaphor in political discourse,
based on material from an extensive corpus of British and German press coverage
of EU politics between 1989 and 2001.
