2 Democratization and Human Rights
New Challenges for
Maturing Democracies in
Korea and Taiwan
Edited by Larry Diamond and
Gi-Wook Shin
New Challenges for Maturing
Democracies in Korea and Taiwan
takes a creative and comparative
view of the new challenges and
dynamics confronting these
maturing democracies.
Numerous works deal with
political change in the two societ-
ies individually, but few adopt a
comparative approach. Tis book,
utilizing a broad, interdisciplinary
approach, pays careful attention
to post-democratization phe-
nomena and the key issues that
arise in maturing democracies.
What emerges is a picture of two
evolving democracies, now secure,
but still imperfect and at times
disappointing to their citizens—a
common feature and challenge of
democratic maturation. Te book
demonstrates that it will fall to the
elected political leaders of these
two countries to rise above narrow
and immediate party interests to
mobilize consensus and craf poli-
cies that will guide the structural
adaptation and reinvigoration of
the society and economy in an
era that clearly presents for both
countries not only steep challenges
but also new opportunities.

Costly Democracy
Peacebuilding and
Democratization Afer War
Christoph Zürcher, Carrie
Manning, Kristie D. Evenson,
Rachel Hayman, Sarah Riese,
and Nora Roehner
Costly Democracy makes the case that
the preferences of domestic elites are
greatly shaped by the costs they incur
in adopting democracy, as well as the
leverage that peacebuilders wield to
increase the costs of non-adoption.
As cases from Afghanistan, Bosnia,
Kosovo, Timor, Rwanda, Namibia,
Mozambique, and Tajikistan show,
domestic elites in postwar societies
may desire the resources—both
material and symbolic—that
peacebuilders can bring, but they
are less eager to adopt democracy
because they believe democratic
reforms may endanger some or all
of their substantive interests. Tis
book ofers comparative analyses
of recent cases of peacebuilding
to deepen understanding of
postwar democratization and better
explain why peacebuilding missions
ofen bring peace, but seldom
democracy, to war-torn countries.
“A consistent and rigorous focus
across many diferent cases of inter-
national peacebuilding makes this a
standout book.”

3 Democratization and Human Rights
Campaigning for Justice
Human Rights Advocacy
in Practice
Jo Becker
Drawing on interviews with dozens
of experienced human rights ad-
vocates, this book delves into local,
regional, and international eforts
to discover how advocates were able
to address seemingly intractable
abuses and secure concrete advances
in human rights. Tese accounts
provide a window into the way that
human rights advocates conduct
their work, their real-life struggles
and challenges, the rich diversity of
tools and strategies they employ, and
ultimately, their courage and persis-
tence in advancing human rights.
“This book is a gold mine. Campaigning
for Justice provides invaluable insights
into how human rights campaigns
work, and distills lessons gleaned from
dozens of veteran advocates. It illus-
trates the rich diversity of the human
rights movement today, and will be a
terrifc resource not only for those just
entering human rights work, but also
for those with years of experience.”

Life as Politics
How Ordinary People
Change the Middle East,
Second Edition
Asef Bayat
Prior to 2011, popular imagination
perceived the Muslim Middle East
as unchanging and unchangeable,
frozen in its own traditions and
history. In Life as Politics, Asef
Bayat argues that such presumptions
fail to recognize the routine, yet
important, ways in which ordinary
people make meaningful change
through everyday actions. First
published just months before the
Arab Spring swept across the region,
this timely and prophetic book sheds
light on the ongoing acts of protest,
practice, and direct daily action.
Te second edition includes three
new chapters on the Arab Spring
and Iran’s Green Movement and is
fully updated to refect recent events.
At heart, the book remains a study
of agency in times of constraint. In
addition to going protests, millions
of people across the Middle East are
efecting transformation through
the discovery and creation of new
social space within which to make
their claims heard. Tis eye-opening
book makes an important contribu-
tion to global debates over the
meaning of social movements and
the dynamics of social change.

Doing Bad by Doing Good
Why Humanitarian Action Fails
Christopher J. Coyne
In 2010, Haiti was ravaged by a brutal
earthquake that afected the lives of
millions. Te call to assist those in need
was heard around the globe. Yet two
years later humanitarian eforts led by
governments and NGOs have largely
failed. Resources are not reaching the
needy due to bureaucratic red tape, and
many assets have been squandered.
IN this timely and provocative book,
Christopher J. Coyne uses the economic
way of thinking to explain why hu-
manitarian eforts led by governments
and NGOs that intend to to do good
end up doing nothing or causing harm.
In addition to Haiti, Coyne considers
a wide range of interventions. He
explains why the U.S. government was
inefective following Hurricane Katrina,
why the international humanitarian
push to remove Muammar Gaddaf in
Libya may very well end up causing
more problems than prosperity, and
why decades of eforts to respond to cri-
ses and foster development around the
world have resulted in repeated failures.
In place of the dominant approach
to state-led humanitarian action,
this book ofers a bold alternative,
focused on establishing an environ-
ment of economic freedom. If we
are willing to experiment with aid
we increase the range of alternatives
to help people and empower them
to improve their communities.

Violence, Coercion,

Twentieth-Century
Mexico
Te Other Half of the Centaur
Edited by Wil G. Pansters
“Through nuanced, cross-disciplinary
perspectives on violence, this volume
considerably advances our under-
standing of Mexico’s contemporary cri-
ses. In particular, it shows that chronic
violence is not the result of state
failure in Mexico, but rather is deeply
embedded in historical processes of
post-revolutionary state formation.”

Side Efects
Mexican Governance
Under NAFTA’s Labor and
Environmental Agreements
Mark Aspinwall
Tis is a story about governance
in Mexico afer the labor and
environmental accords—called “side
agreements”—that accompanied
the NAFTA treaty went into efect.
Tese side agreements required
member states to uphold and enforce
their labor and environmental laws;
though never codifed, it was widely
accepted that Mexico, in particular,
had a problem with law enforcement.
Side Efects explores how diferences
in institutional design (of the side
agreements) and domestic capacity
(between the labor and environ-
ment sectors) infuenced norm
socialization in Mexico. It argues
that the acceptance of rule-of-law
norms in environmental governance
can be attributed to participating
institutions’ independence from
national control, their willingness
to give citizens access, and the
professionalization and technical
capacity of domestic bureaucrats and
civil society actors. Going beyond
a simple accounting exercise of
resources devoted to enforcing the
law, this book comes to grips with
how best to strengthen local capacity
and promote pro-norm behavior.

5 Comparative Politics
Integrating Regions
Asia in Comparative Context
Edited by Miles Kahler and
Andrew MacIntyre
Te proliferation of regional institu-
tions and initiatives in Asia over the
past decade is unmatched in any oth-
er region of the world. Te authors
in this collection explore the distinc-
tive features of these institutions by
comparing them for the frst time to
the experience of other regions; from
the elaborate institution-building of
Europe to the more modest regional
projects of the Americas. And they
propose changes that will better
sustain the prosperity and peace that
have marked Asia in recent decades.
“Integrating Regions is a powerful aid to
all those interested in the dynamics
of Asia’s regional institutions.  It illumi-
nates their character and potential in
striking fashion, by comparing Asian
institutions with counterparts else-
where in the world and setting out
options for institutional strengthen-
ing.  I welcome the book’s combina-
tion of sharp analysis, rich empirical
evidence and mapping of future
directions.”

Collective Action
and Exchange
A Game-Teoretic Approach
to Contemporary Political
Economy
William D. Ferguson
In Collective Action and Exchange,
William D. Ferguson presents a
comprehensive political economy text
aimed at advanced undergraduates in
economics and graduate students in
the social sciences. Te text utilizes
collective action as a unifying concept,
arguing that collective-action problems
lie at the foundation of market success,
market failure, economic development,
and the motivations for policy.
Ferguson draws on information
economics, social preference
theory, cognition theory, institutional
economics, as well as political and
policy theory to develop this approach,
using classical, evolutionary, and
epistemic game theory, along with basic
social network analysis, as modeling
frameworks. Tese models efectively
bind the ideas presented, generating
a coherent theoretic approach to
political economy that stresses
sometimes overlooked implications.
“Ferguson’s book is a forceful introduction
to the analytical techniques involved in
this intellectual revolution, together with
a presentation of the evidence support-
ing various models. It exhibits a deep
appreciation for the long road ahead
in improving our understanding of the
political aspects of social life.”

nomic, institutional, ideological—with

roles of leadership and mass opinion

Praise for the frst edition:
“Protest in the Middle East and North

“This impressive new study sheds light on

not fully creations of society, these asso-

7 U.S. Politics
Democracy and Political
Ignorance
Why Smaller Government
Is Smarter
Ilya Somin
In Democracy and Political Ignorance,
Ilya Somin mines the depths of
ignorance in America and reveals
the extent to which it is a major
problem for democracy. Somin
weighs various options for solving
this problem, arguing that political
ignorance is best mitigated and its
efects lessened by decentralizing and
limiting government. Somin pro-
vocatively argues that people make
better decisions when they choose
what to purchase in the market or
which state or local government to
live under, than when they vote at the
ballot box, because they have stron-
ger incentives to acquire relevant
information and to use it wisely.
“Voter ignorance can be rational: The
likelihood of one vote mattering is
infnitesimal, so why make the efort
to stay informed? But as Ilya Somin
demonstrates in this mind-opening
book, voter ignorance has bad conse-
quences that strengthen the case for
limited government, including judicial
review to put a leash on wayward
majorities.”

Te Puzzle of Unanimity
Consensus on the United
States Supreme Court
Pamela C. Corley,
Amy Steigerwalt, and
Artemus Ward
Drawing on data from the U.S.
Supreme Court database, internal
court documents, and the justices’
private papers, Te Puzzle of Unanim-
ity provides the frst comprehensive
account of how the Court reaches
consensus. Pamela Corley, Amy
Steigerwalt, and Artemus Ward
propose and empirically test a theory
of consensus; they fnd consensus is
a function of multiple, concurrently-
operating forces that cannot be fully
accounted for by ideological attitudes.
In this thorough investigation, the
authors conclude that consensus
is a function of the level of legal
certainty and its ability to constrain
justices’ ideological preferences.
“In The Puzzle of Unanimity, the authors
skillfully probe the sources of con-
sensus on the Supreme Court and
provide new insights on the consider-
ations that shape the justices’ choices.
Their book is an important contribu-
tion to the understanding of juridical
behavior.”

Te Eclipse of Equality
Arguing America on
Meet the Press
Solon Simmons
In Te Eclipse of Equality, Solon Sim-
mons charts the course of American
politics through the episodes of Meet
the Press. On air since 1954, Meet
the Press provides an unparalleled
record of living conversations about
the most pressing issues of the day. In
weekly discussions, the people who
directly infuenced policy and held
the reins of power in Washington set
the political agenda for the country.
Listening to what these people had to
say—and importantly how they said
it—Meet the Press opens a window
on how our political parties have
become so divided and how notions
of equality were lost in the process.
Ultimately, Simmons looks to bring
back to the debate the question
lurking in the shadows—how can we
ensure the protection of a peaceful
civil society and equality for all?
“The Eclipse of Equality breaks new
ground by uncovering the rhetorical
roots of our present political malaise.”

Paint the White House
Black
Barack Obama and
the Meaning of Race
in America
Michael P. Jefries
Painting the White House Black
flls a signifcant void in the
Obama-themed debate, shifing
the emphasis from the details
of Obama’s political career to
an understanding of how race
works in America. In this
groundbreaking book, race, rather
than Obama, is the central focus.
Michael P. Jefries approaches
Obama’s election and administra-
tion as common cultural ground
for thinking about race. He uncov-
ers contemporary stereotypes and
anxieties by examining historically
rooted conceptions of race and
nationhood, discourses of
“biracialism” and Obama’s mixed
heritage, the purported emergence
of a “post-racial society,” and
popular symbols of Michelle
Obama as a modern black woman.
In so doing, he casts new light
on how we think about race and
enables us to see how race, in turn,
operates within our daily lives.
“A compelling cultural sociology of
political power and state-of-the-art
analysis of the Obama presidency
and contemporary race relations in
the United States.”

Te DREAMers
How the Undocumented
Youth Movement Trans-
formed the Immigrant
Rights Debate
Walter J. Nicholls
Te DREAMers provides the frst
investigation of the youth movement
that has transformed the national
immigration debate, from its start in
the early 2000s through the present
day. Walter Nicholls draws on inter-
views, news stories, and frsthand
encounters with activists to highlight
the strategies and claims that have
created this now-powerful voice
in American politics. Facing high
levels of anti-immigrant sentiment
across the country, undocumented
youths sought to increase support
for their cause and change the
terms of the debate by arguing for
their unique position—as culturally
integrated, long term residents and
most important as “American” youth
sharing in core American values.
“Walter Nicholls tells the story of the
courageous youth who ‘came out
of the shadows’ to form an unprec-
edented social movement to chal-
lenge stigmatizations and advocate
a path to citizenship. The DREAMers is
a must read for anyone interested in
how these new Americans fought for
justice and their chance at the Ameri-
can Dream.”

Te Street Politics
of Abortion
Speech, Violence, and
America’s Culture Wars
Joshua C. Wilson
Te Street Politics of Abortion is the
frst book to consider the rise and fall
of clinic-front protests through the
1980s and 1990s, the most visible and
contentious period in U.S. reproduc-
tive politics. Joshua Wilson considers
how street level protests led to three
seminal Court decisions—Planned
Parenthood v. Williams, Schenk v.
Pro-Choice Network of Western N.Y.,
and Hill v. Colorado. Te eventual
demise of street protests via these
cases taught anti-abortion activists
the value of incremental institutional
strategies that could produce concrete
policy gains without drawing the pub-
lic’s attention. Activists on both sides
ultimately moved from the streets
to fght in state legislative halls and
courtrooms. Wilson demonstrates

Waging War
Alliances, Coalitions, and
Institutions of Interstate
Violence
Patricia A. Weitsman
Partnerships of all types serve states
as a foundation for the projection of
power and the employment of force.
In Waging War, Patricia Weitsman
lays out which institutional arrange-
ments lubricate states’ abilities to
advance their agendas and prevail in
wartime, and which undermine ef-
fectiveness and cohesion and increase
costs to states. She then tests her argu-
ments in fve empirical chapters that
examine the cases of the frst Gulf War,
Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.
“Most modern wars are fought by coali-
tions, but we know remarkably little
about the structures that have been
put in place.  By highlighting the ten-
sion between legitimacy and efciency,
examining several cases, developing
a theory of realist institutionalism, and
analyzing the implications for the
American foreign policy, Weitsman has
made a major contribution.”

How 9/11 Changed Our
Ways of War
Edited by James Burk
Following the 9/11 attacks, a war
against al Qaeda by the U.S. and its
allies appeared inevitable. But what
kind of war would it be, how would
it be fought, for how long, and what
would it cost in lives and money?
Te contributors to this book revisit
the choices made then and since and
debate what shaped the decision to
go to war, what force was used to
wage the war, and what resources
were needed to carry on the fght.
Teir debate assesses 9/11 as a pivotal
point in our ways of war, and raises
questions about waging future wars.
“America’s post-9/11 counterinsurgen-
cies highlight changes in the ways
the nation initiates and conducts the
kinds of conficts that will challenges us
through the 21
st
century. This excellent
volume provides rich cross-disciplinary
and cross-national perspectives that
should infuence and shape our under-
standing of these processes in terms of
both policy and scholarship.”

Learning to Forget
US Army Counterinsurgency
Doctrine and Practice from
Vietnam to Iraq
David Fitzgerald
Beginning with an extensive section
on the lessons of Vietnam, Learning
to Forget traces the decline of COIN
in the 1970s, then the rebirth of low
intensity confict through the Reagan
years and the confict in Bosnia,
and culminates in the campaigns
in Iraq and Afghanistan. It explains
how the lessons of Vietnam led the
Army to Iraq and the way in which
their confronting and reimagining
of these lessons ofered them a
way out of that war. In the process
it provides an illustration of how
military leaders make use of history
and demonstrates the difculties
of drawing lessons from the past.
“Among the many notable works on
the legacy of Vietnam, the decline
and resurgence of counterinsurgency
doctrine, and the conduct of the Iraq-
Afghanistan wars, Fitzgerald’s is exem-
plary. It is a masterful work of research,
of synthesis and original analysis, and
of clear and insightful writing.”

Military Adaptation
in Afghanistan
Edited by Teo Farrell, Frans
Osinga and James A. Russell
All participating militaries in the
Afghan campaign have had to adapt
to a wide range of emerging opera-
tional and civil-military imperatives.
Tis book analyzes these initiatives
and their outcomes by focusing on
the experiences of three groups of
militaries—those that have faced the
most intense operational and strate-
gic pressures, those that have oper-
ated under the greatest political and
cultural constraints, and the Afghan
National Army and the Taliban,
who have been forced to adapt to a
very diferent set of circumstances.
“Military Adaptation in Afghanistan of-
fers a rich collection of careful case
studies, many built on direct observa-
tion of wartime conduct in the feld.
Those who see militaries chiefy as
change-resistant will be surprised
by the scale and variety of experi-
mentation and adaptation described
here—the result is a major contribu-
tion to the strategic studies literature.”

Global Security Upheaval
Armed Nonstate Groups
Usurping State Stability
Functions
Robert Mandel
Tis book calls into question the
commonly held contentions that
central governments are the most im-
portant or even the sole sources of a
nation’s stability, and that subnational
and transnational nonstate forces are
a major source of global instability.
By assessing recent real-world trends,
Mandel reveals that areas exist where
it makes little sense to rely on state
governments for stability, and that
attempts to bolster such governments
to promote stability ofen prove futile.
He demonstrates how armed non-
state groups can sometimes provide
local stability better than states, and
how power-sharing arrangements
between states and armed nonstate
groups may sometimes be viable.
He concludes that these trends in
the international setting call for
major shifs in our understanding
of what constitutes stable gover-
nance—proposing that we adopt a
fuid “emergent actor” approach.
“An unusually important contribution
to the study of governance in the con-
text of confict.”

Culture, Confict, and
Counterinsurgency
Edited by Tomas H. Johnson and
Barry Zellen
Te authors of Culture, Confict and
Counterinsurgency contend that an
enduring victory can still be achieved
in Afghanistan. However, to secure
it we must better understand the cul-
tural foundations of the continuing
conficts that rage across Afghanistan
and neighboring Pakistan, and shif
our strategy from an attritional en-
gagement to a smarter war plan that
embraces these cultural dimensions,
Tey examine the nexus of culture,
confict, and strategic intervention,
and attempt to establish if culture
is important in a national security
and foreign policy context, and to
explore how cultural phenomena
and information can best be used
by the military. In the process
they address just how intimate
cultural knowledge needs to be to
counter an insurgency efectively.
Finally, they establish exactly how
good we’ve been at building and
utilizing cultural understanding in
Afghanistan, what the operational
impact of that understanding has
been, and where we must
improve to maximize our use of
cultural knowledge in preparing for
and engaging in future conficts.

Constructing Cassandra
Reframing Intelligence Failure
at the CIA, 1947–2001
Milo Jones and Philippe
Silberzahn
Constructing Cassandra inquires into
intelligence failures at the CIA that
resulted in four key strategic sur-
prises for the US: the Cuban Missile
Crisis, the Iranian revolution, the
collapse of the USSR, and the 9/11
terrorist attacks. Although studies
have explored how intelligence fail-
ures can happen, none of the prevail-
ing explanations provides a unifed
understanding of the phenomenon.
By bringing culture and identity
to the foreground to focus on the
internal make-up of the CIA, this
book ofers the frst deep and
systematic exploration of the ultimate
sources of the CIA’s intelligence
failures, and points to ways to
prevent future strategic surprises.
“This important book will provoke a
debate within the Intelligence Com-
munity that will expose new truths
and frame current intelligence dilem-
mas in a new light. Its emphasis on the
social nature of intelligence analysis
will contribute to a new understand-
ing of the intelligence process.”

Wronged by Empire
Post-Imperial Ideology
and Foreign Policy in India
and China
Manjari Chatterjee Miller
Although India and China have
very diferent experiences of
colonialism, they respond to that
history in a similar way—by treat-
ing it as a collective trauma. As
a result they have a strong sense
of victimization that afects their
foreign policy decisions even today.
Wronged by Empire breaks new
ground by blending this historical
phenomenon, colonialism, with
mixed methods to explain the
foreign policy choices of India
and China: two countries that are
continuously discussed but very
rarely rigorously compared. By
reference to their colonial past,
Manjari Chatterjee Miller explains
their puzzling behavior today.
“Manjari Miller provides a refreshing
complement to the standard ma-
terialist readings of why China and
India conduct themselves as they
do: by making colonialism the pivot
for explaining both their pervasive
defensiveness and their conspicuous
sense of entitlement, she reminds the
international community that it can-
not escape China and India’s past any
more than they themselves can.”

Te Nuclear Renaissance
and International Security
Edited by Adam N. Stulberg and
Matthew Fuhrmann
In this book, leading experts analyze
the tradeofs associated with nuclear
energy and put the nuclear renais-
sance in historical context, evaluating
both the causes and the strategic ef-
fects of nuclear energy development.
Tey probe critical issues relating
to the nuclear renaissance, includ-
ing if and how peaceful nuclear
programs contribute to nuclear
weapons proliferation, whether the
difusion of nuclear technologies
lead to an increase in the trafcking
of nuclear materials, and under
what circumstances the difusion
of nuclear technologies and latent
nuclear weapons capabilities can
infuence international stability and
confict. Te book will help scholars
and policymakers understand why
countries are pursuing nuclear
energy and evaluate whether this is
a trend we should welcome or fear.
“Adam Stulberg, Matthew Fuhrmann
and their co-authors ofer a sober as-
sessment of the key drivers and con-
sequences of the spread of nuclear
energy just when the industry and
nonproliferation community need
it most.”

Secret Intelligence in the
European States System,
1918–1989
Edited by Jonathan Haslam and
Karina Urbach
Te history of secret intelligence, like
secret intelligence itself, is fraught
with difculties surrounding both
the reliability and completeness of
the sources, and the motivations
behind their release. Indeed, these
difculties lead to the Scylla and
Charybdis of overestimating the
importance of secret intelligence
for foreign policy and statecraf and
also underestimating its importance
in these same areas. But in recent
decades, traditional perspectives have
given ground and judgments have
been revised in light of new evidence.
Tis volume brings together a
collection of essays avoiding the
traditional pitfalls while carrying
out the essential task of analyzing
the recent evidence concerning the
history of the European state system
of the last century. Te essays ofer an
array of insight across countries and
across time. A keen interdisciplinary
eye focused on these developments
leaves us with a far more complete
understanding of secret intelligence
in Europe than we’ve had before.

New and Old Wars
Organized Violence in a
Global Era, Tird Edition
Mary Kaldor
Tis third edition has been fully
revised and updated. Mary Kaldor
has added an aferword answering
the critics of the New Wars argument
and, in a new chapter, shows how
old war thinking in Afghanistan and
Iraq greatly exacerbated what turned
out to be, in many ways, archetypal
new wars—characterized by identity
politics, a criminalized war economy,
and civilians as the main victims.
Like its predecessors, the third
edition of New and Old Wars will
be essential reading for students
of international relations, politics,
and confict studies as well as to all
those interested in the changing
nature and prospect of warfare.
“A timely and important book. Putting
the so-called revolution in military
afairs to one side, Mary Kaldor has
provided us with a window into the
future of war.”

Eating Grass
Te Making of the
Pakistani Bomb
Feroz Khan
Written by a 30-year professional
in the Pakistani Army who played
a senior role formulating and
advocating Pakistan’s security policy
on nuclear and conventional arms
control, Eating Grass tells the compel-
ling story of how and why Pakistan’s
government, scientists, and military
persevered in the face of a wide
array of obstacles to acquire nuclear
weapons. It lays out the conditions
that sparked the shif from a peaceful
quest to acquire nuclear energy into
a full-fedged weapons program,
details how the nuclear program
was organized, reveals the roles
played by outside powers in nuclear
decisions, and explains how Pakistani
scientists overcame the many
technical hurdles they encountered.
“Going beyond the headlines, Khan
provides unique insights into the
political, technical and strategic issues
behind the untold story of Pakistan’s
bomb. Essential reading for anyone
interested in nuclear history, prolifera-
tion, or South Asian security.”
