A Political Science Manifesto for the Age of Populism Challenging Growth, Markets, Inequality and Resentment David M. Ricci | Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Modern capitalism, via creative destruction, produces economic winners and losers. The US needs political thought focused not only on efficiency, but also community.

Quagmire in Civil War Jonah Schulhofer-Wohl
A pervasive ‘folk’ notion holds that quagmire is intrinsic to certain countries or civil wars. Schulhofer-Wohl shows that this view is a fundamental misdiagnosis of the problem. He marshalls extensive, diverse evidence to show that interlocked domestic-international strategic interactions in civil war systematically produce quagmire. • The first treatment of quagmire in civil war as an object of study in its own right, conceptualizing quagmire, establishing its empirical prevalence, and analyzing its causes • Employs multiple methodologies and is written in a non-technical manner, but offers interested readers technical depth in appendices • Incorporates field research-based study of the Lebanese civil war (1975–1990), including interviews in Arabic with former commanders on all sides of the war • Uses micro-level research to shed light on a macro-level question, appealing both to those readers interested in big picture questions and those who seek to understand civil war through the eyes of the participants 340pp 14 b/w illus. 7 maps 29 tables January 2020 9781108486767 Hardback GBP 74.99 / USD 99.99 January 2020 9781108708265 Paperback GBP 24.99 / USD 32.99 eISBN 9781108762465

Status and the Challenge of Rising Powers
The Idea of International Society
Steven Ward | Cornell University, New York
Erasmus, Vitoria, Gentili and Grotius Ursula Vollerthun
The rise of new powers raises important questions about the persistence and stability of the ‘liberal international order’.

The Closure of the International System How Institutions Create Political Equalities and Hierarchies Lora Anne Viola | Freie Universität Berlin
Of interest to students and scholars of international relations theory, global history, and international organizations, this book sheds light on why international institutions remain torn between extending political equality to new actors and monopolizing political rights for an exclusive set of members - and how demands for equality can lead to new inequalities. • Provides a contrast to the widely held idea that the system has been expanding or - in more recent vocabulary - globalizing over time • Offers a dynamic theory to explain why apparent ‘progress’ in extending sovereign equality rights to new actors does not eliminate hierarchy • Provides a basis for thinking about questions of global justice in light of recent crises in the multilateral institutional order Cambridge Studies in International Relations 336pp July 2020 9781108482257 Hardback GBP 75 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781108612562
The Ebb and Flow of Global Governance Intergovernmentalism versus Nongovernmentalism in World Politics Alexandru Grigorescu | Loyola University, Chicago
Challenges traditional classifications of international organizations as either governmentrun or nongovernmental. By considering them as complex mixes of the two that exist on a continuum, subtle changes in global governance can be observed. Such changes tend to repeat themselves, and we may soon experience a return to past trends. • Introduces the ground-breaking concept of an intergovernmentalnongovernmental continuum in world politics • Offers a much more fine-tuned understanding of international relations that allows us to observe developments that previously had been neglected • Offers novel and intriguing examples of changes in world politics that suggest that we may soon experience a return to past trends

Partisans, Antipartisans, and Nonpartisans Voting Behavior in Brazil David J. Samuels | University of Minnesota
Observers believe few Brazilian voters identify with a political party and, instead, base their choices only on candidates’ personal qualities.

In the Name of Liberty
Reason and Cause
The Argument for Universal Unionization Mark R. Reiff | University of California, Davis
Social Science and the Social World Richard Ned Lebow | King’s College London
This book illustrates how the argument from liberty, once properly understood, leads to the same place as the argument from equality, rather than conflicts with it as those on the right often argue. Reiff shows how this argument can be used to justify not only universal unionization, but also a wide variety of other progressive policies. • Reclaims the argument from liberty from the political right • Paves the way for political philosophers to give unionization the same detailed attention they have long devoted to inequality, but have not applied to unionization before • Provides the first and only moral argument for universal unionization - the mandatory unionization of every firm - that is consistent with the principles of liberal capitalism
Philosophy and social science assume that reason and cause are objective and universally applicable concepts. Through close readings of ancient and modern philosophy, history and literature, Lebow demonstrates that these concepts are specific to time and place. He also shows why and how they evolve. • Focuses on three eras of Western history: classical Athens, the Enlightenment and Victorian England, and the early twentieth century • Builds bridges between philosophy, social science and literature • Undercuts foundational assumptions of philosophy and social science as currently conceived

Rawls’s Egalitarianism Alexander Kaufman | University of Georgia
This is a new interpretation and analysis of John Rawls’s leading theory of distributive justice, focusing on the ways in which his ideas have both influenced and been misinterpreted by the current egalitarian literature. It will interest scholars and advanced students of political theory and political philosophy. • Focuses on John Rawls’s contribution to egalitarian thought • Re-examines the central concerns of Rawls’s project, which the author argues have been lost through the ensuing decades of secondary literature • Provides precise accounts of the principles of justice and how they work together as a unit
Nonresponse and other sources of bias are endemic features of public opinion surveys. We elaborate a general workflow of weighting-based survey inference, and describe in detail how this can be applied to the analysis of historical and contemporary opinion polls.
