Comparative Politics 2022 HIGHLIGHTS
COMPARATIVE POLITICS OF THE GLOBAL SOUTH Linking Concepts & Cases, Fifth Edition December Green & Laura Luehrmann Reveals how history, economics, and politics converge to create the realities of life in the Global South. In this new edition, the authors continue to offer an innovative blend of theory and empirical material as they introduce the politics of what was once called the ‘third world’. They consistently link theoretical concepts to a set of eight contemporary case studies: China, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, and Zimbabwe. A central theme throughout the new edition is how the Covid-19 pandemic has worked as a hinge event – accelerating troubling trends and amplifying longstanding socioeconomic and political problems.

AFRICA'S NEW GLOBAL POLITICS
ISOLATING QATAR
Regionalism in International Relations Rita Kiki Edozie & Moses Khisa
The Gulf Rift, 2017-2021 Edward A. Lynch
The African Union's threat to lead African states' mass withdrawal from the International Criminal Court in 2008 marked just one of many encounters that demonstrate African leaders' growing confidence and activism in international relations. Edozie and Khisa explore the myriad ways in which the continent’s diplomatic engagement and influence in the global arena has been expanding in recent decades. Focusing in particular on collective action through the institutional platform of the AU – while acknowledging the internal challenges involved – the authors show how Africa's role as a dynamic world region is both shaping and being shaped by current trends in global development and geopolitics.
In June 2017, Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE announced a comprehensive boycott of Qatar. Diplomatic ties were severed, trade was banned, and airspace was closed. Qatari nationals were expelled from all four countries. It seemed that disaster loomed for this small Gulf nation. Instead, in an unexpected turn of events, the Qatari government deftly used its enormous wealth and extensive reserves of soft power to nullify most of the effects of what came to be known as the Rift. Exploring the historical and contemporary causes of the dispute, the reactions to it both regionally and globally, and the surprising end to the crisis, this book highlights the often unrecognised role of small states in international relations.

The Icarus of Saudi Arabia?
Edited by Gregory Simons, Eric Shiraev & Marat Shterin

Mohammed bin Salman. A monarchto-be without scruples, or a visionary seeking a path to global power?
