Letter from the editors: Greetings and welcome to the Columbia University Press 2021 catalog for politics and international affairs. In international relations, we are pleased to publish the first book in our series Columbia Studies in International Order and Politics, Making War on the World: How Transnational Violence Reshapes Global Order, by Mark Shirk. This book challenges ideas of state and global order formation by looking at the role of disruptive transnational actors: pirates, anarchists, and terrorists. In terrorism and security studies, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross and Thomas Joscelyn examine jihadist groups’ organizational learning from the twentieth century to the present in Enemies Near and Far: How Jihadist Groups Strategize, Plot, and Learn. The latest additions to the Columbia Studies in Middle East Politics series Lumbering State, Restless Society: Egypt in the Modern Era by Nathan J. Brown, Shimaa Hatab, and Amr Adly, and Friend or Foe: Militia Intelligence and Ethnic Violence in the Lebanese Civil War by Nils Hägerdal, each use a comparative lens to untangle the particularities of Middle Eastern domestic politics. And lastly, in Asian politics, Michael J. Green’s Line of Advantage: Japan’s Grand Strategy in the Era of Abe Shinzō, brings a historical perspective to the international policy of the Abe era. The year 2021 has been another year of unprecedented political challenges, and our theory list features some very timely books that address critique, racism, and the politics of religion. Critique of Latin American Reason by Santiago Castro-GÓmez is a translation of one of the most important twentiethcentury philosophical texts from the region, revealing the colonial underpinnings of even the most radical political thought. Crisis Under Critique, edited by Didier Fassin and Axel Honneth, investigates the ever-present notion of crisis itself and how it is experienced by people in its midst. We Testify with Our Lives by Terrence L. Johnson reveals, through a history of the Black radical left up to Black Lives Matter, how Black religion has given these movements their moral force. And At Home and Abroad, edited by Elizabeth Shakman Hurd and Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, examines the different ways that the free exercise of religion clause is interpreted in domestic and international settings. In the study of U.S. foreign relations, we have Tao Wang’s Isolating the Enemy, which details a critical few years early in the Cold War, when the United States and China came face to face. In Engaging China, experts on Sino-American relations from ambassadors to historians to political scientists consider the last fifty years of U.S. policy toward China. And in Designs on Empire, historian Andrew Priest looks at the late nineteenth century, when Americans observed the era of high European imperialism and began to formulate their own ideas of America’s place in the world. And, finally, in American politics, we have two books that speak to the current moment. In At War with Government, political scientists Amy Fried and Doug Harris excavate the last fifty years of the Republican Party, showing how the party cultivated antigovernment sentiment to win elections, pass legislation, and build coalitions. And in When Good Government Meant Big Government, historian Jesse Tarbert traces federal reforms through the Progressive Era, and shows how our idea of efficient and beneficent government has changed. We hope you enjoy these books, Caelyn Cobb, editor, global politics Wendy Lochner, publisher, political theory Stephen Wesley, editor, American politics

How Place and Power Distort American Journalism
The Quest to Expand Federal Power, 1913–1933
The years after World War I have often been seen as an era when Republican presidents and business leaders brought the growth of government in the United States to a halt. Jesse Tarbert reveals a forgotten effort by businessallied reformers to expand federal power— and how that effort was foiled by Southern Democrats and their political allies.
In News for the Rich, White, and Blue, Nikki Usher recasts the challenges facing journalism in terms of place, power, and inequality. Drawing on more than a decade of field research, she illuminates how journalists decide what becomes news and how news organizations strategize about the future.

Pork Barrel Politics
How Government Spending Determines Elections in a Polarized Era
Relieving Racial Tensions in the American City
Brian Calfano and Valerie Martinez-Ebers
Andrew H. Sidman
Brian Calfano and Valerie Martinez-Ebers examine the history and current efforts of human relations commissions in promoting positive intergroup outcomes and enforcing antidiscrimination laws. Drawing on a wide range of theories and methods, they assess policy approaches, successes, and failures in four cities.
In Pork Barrel Politics, Andrew H. Sidman offers a systematic explanation for how political polarization affects the electoral influence of district-level federal spending. He argues that it is only when the political world becomes more divided over everything else that the average voter pays attention to pork, linking it to their general preferences over government spending.

Mark Shirk
Mark Shirk examines historical and contemporary state responses to transnational violence to develop a new account of the making of global orders. He considers a series of crises that plagued the state system: piracy in the eighteenth century, anarchist “propagandists of the deed” at the turn of the twentieth, and al-Qaeda in recent years.
Building States examines how the United Nations tried to manage the dissolution of European empires in the 1950s and 1960s—and helped transform the practice of international development and the meaning of state sovereignty in the process. Eva-Maria Muschik traces how UN personnel pioneered a new kind of state building in the midst of decolonization.

Traditional conceptions of democratic citizenship are being challenged by developments such as migration, populism, increasing polarization, social fragmentation, and digital communication technology.

Michael Bray argues that the Marxist conception of the division between mental and manual labor is a critical yet unrecognized aspect of contemporary political struggles. Bray traces the conceptual and sociopolitical history of this division, showing how the forms of control and organization articulated in that division in practices of production, democracy, racialization, and financialization are becoming increasingly important. $100.00 paper 978-3-8376-4147-9 2019 200 pages TRANSCRIPT PUBLISHING

This edited collection brings together a broad range of case studies to highlight the role of Canadian corporations in producing, deepening, and exacerbating conditions of dispossession both at home and abroad. Contributors do not present the cases as exceptional instances of greed or malice, but rather as expected and inherent consequences of contemporary capitalism (and in some cases, settler colonialism).
The authors in this collection posit that COVID-19 could be a turning point for global capitalism. They argue that resistance in the pandemic age may lead to the ultimate defeat of capitalism or its neoliberal incarnation—but only if a new postcapitalist framework is built on new values, and not on the same values and beliefs that are foundational to current-day consumer capitalist society.

America’s Public Philosopher
Hermeneutics as Critique
Essays on Social Justice, Economics, Education, and the Future of Democracy
Science, Politics, Race, and Culture
John Dewey
Edited and with an introduction by Eric Thomas Weber
Lorenzo C. Simpson
John Dewey was America’s greatest public philosopher. This book gathers the clearest and most powerful of Dewey’s public writings and shows how they continue to speak to the challenges we face today. It includes fortysix essays on topics such as democracy in the United States, political power, education, economic justice, science and society, and philosophy and culture.
Lorenzo C. Simpson offers a persuasive and powerful argument that hermeneutics is a valuable tool not only for critical theory but also for addressing many of the urgent issues of today. He shows its utility for unpacking intractable debates in the philosophy of science, multiculturalism, social epistemology, and racial and social justice.

What Bosnia and Britain Can Learn From Each Other
Translated by Andrew Ascherl Foreword by Linda Martín Alcoff

Britain does not have a written constitution. By contrast, Bosnia’s constitution was written overnight in Dayton to conclude a devastating war. What might these seemingly unrelated countries be able to teach each other? Using Bosnia and Britain as a centerpiece, this book sets out examples for other plural, multiethnic polities to follow.

An Archaeology of the Political
Al-Qaeda's Revenge The 2004 Madrid Train Bombings
Regimes of Power from the Seventeenth Century to the Present
Fernando Reinares
Foreword by Bruce Riedel
Elías José Palti
Elías José Palti argues that the dimension of reality known as the political is not a natural, transhistorical entity. Instead, the horizon of the political arose in the context of a series of changes that affirmed the power of absolute monarchies in seventeenth-century Europe and was successively reconfigured from that period up to the present.
Fernando Reinares tells the story of “3/11,” the March 11, 2004, bombings of commuter trains in Madrid, which killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800. He examines the development of an al-Qaeda conspiracy in Spain from the 1990s through the formation of the 3/11 bombing network beginning in March 2002, and discusses the preparations for and fallout from the attacks.

Jim Krane WINNER, BOOK PRIZE, ASSOCIATION FOR GULF AND ARABIAN PENINSULA STUDIES
In Energy Kingdoms, Jim Krane takes readers inside the Gulf monarchies to consider the conundrum facing these states. He traces the history of their energy use and policies, looking in particular at how energy subsidies have distorted demand. Oil exports are the lifeblood of their politicaleconomic systems—and the basis of their strategic importance—but domestic consumption has begun eating into exports while climate change threatens to render the region uninhabitable.
In this major intellectual history, Ira Katznelson examines the works of Hannah Arendt, Robert Dahl, Richard Hofstadter, Karl Polanyi, and others. In light of their epoch’s calamities, these intellectuals insisted that the tradition of Enlightenment thought required a new realism, a good deal of renovation, and much recommitment.
