Letter from the editors: We are delighted to present the 2019 Columbia University Press international studies catalog. The
titles featured here demonstrate the vibrancy of Columbia University Press’s program as we continue a long tradition of publishing top scholarship in international history, U.S. foreign policy, security studies, international relations, and comparative and regional politics.
In international relations, we are pleased to announce a new series: Columbia Studies in International Order and Politics, edited by Stacie Goddard, Daniel Nexon, and Joseph Parent. This series will publish innovative, theoretical work that cuts across disciplinary boundaries as well as original
qualitative and historical work in international relations theory. These books will live alongside
Columbia University Press’s classic works in international relations like Kenneth Waltz’s Man, the State, and War: A Theoretical Analysis, now reissued in a commemorative edition for its 60th anniversary, with a foreword by Stephen Walt.
In regional politics, there are several new titles in the Contemporary Asia in the World series, among them GMO China: How Global Debates Transformed China’s Agricultural Biotechnology Policies, by
Cong Cao, and an updated edition of Victor D. Cha and David C. Kang’s critically acclaimed Nuclear North Korea: A Debate on Engagement Strategies. Recent months have also seen the debut of Jim
Krane’s informative Energy Kingdoms: Oil and Political Survival in the Persian Gulf and the English translation of Grigory Yavlinsky’s The Putin System: An Opposing View, a penetrating look at the systemic problems plaguing Russian politics under Vladimir Putin.
Highlights in our security studies program include Bryan C. Price’s Targeting Top Terrorists:
Understanding Leadership Removal in Counterterrorism Strategy, a study of the impact of attacking
terrorist leaders over several decades from our Columbia Studies in Terrorism and Irregular Warfare series. Rounding out our security studies list is Media Persuasion in the Islamic State, in which Neil Krishan Aggarwal presents a novel analysis of the culture and psychology of militant persuasion. Lastly, our international and global history list demonstrates the deep roots of the most pressing
current events. The Postwar Origins of the Global Environment: How the United Nations Built Spaceship Earth, by Perrin Selcer, explores how the idea of the “environment” as a shared global concern
emerged in the 20th century. Another exciting book in this field, Zhihua Shen and Yafeng Xia’s Cold War history A Misunderstood Friendship: Mao Zedong, Kim Il-Sung, and Sino-North Korean Relations, 1949-1976, examines the complex relationship between two influential Communist nations, one that persists today.
We hope you share our enthusiasm for these books and the course they mark for the future of our list.
Sincerely, Caelyn Cobb, editor, global history, international politics & security studies Stephen Wesley, editor, American politics & U.S. foreign relations

A quarter century after the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia once again looms large over world affairs, from Ukraine to Syria to the 2016 U.S. election. Yet how power works in present-day Russia— how Vladimir Putin came to power and maintains his rule—remains opaque and often misunderstood. In The Putin System, Russian economist and opposition leader Grigory Yavlinsky explains his country’s politics from a unique perspective, voicing a Russian liberal critique of the post-Soviet system that is vital for the West to hear. $28.00 / £22.00 cloth 978-0-231-19030-5 2019 256 pages

Conspiring with the Enemy
Allies of Convenience
A Theory of Bargaining in U.S. Foreign Policy
The Ethic of Cooperation in Warfare
Evan N. Resnick
Since its founding, the United States has allied with unsavory dictatorships to thwart even more urgent security threats. How well has the United States managed such alliances, and what have been the consequences for its national security? In this book, Evan Resnick examines the negotiating tables between the United States and its allies of convenience since World War II and sets forth a novel theory of alliance bargaining. $35.00 / £27.00 paper 978-0-231-19059-6 $105 / £81.00 cloth 978-0-231-19058-9 August 2019 320 pages / 5 illus.
Yvonne Chiu
In Conspiring with the Enemy, Yvonne Chiu offers a new understanding of why and how enemies work together to constrain violence in warfare. Chiu argues that what she calls an ethic of cooperation is found in modern warfare to such an extent that it is often taken for granted. In a wide-ranging consideration of pivotal instances of cooperation, Chiu examines weapons bans, treatment of prisoners of war, and the Geneva Conventions, as well as the tensions between the ethic of cooperation and the pillars of just war theory. $35.00 / £27.00 paper 978-0-231-18245-4 $105.00 / £81.00 cloth 978-0-231-18244-7 August 2019 352 pages
The Conflicted Superpower
Psychology of a Superpower
America’s Collaboration with China and India in Global Innovation
Security and Dominance in U.S. Foreign Policy Christopher J. Fettweis
Andrew B. Kennedy
In today’s world, U.S. technological leadership increasingly involves collaboration with other countries. China and India have emerged as particularly prominent partners, most notably as suppliers of intellectual talent to the United States. In The Conflicted Superpower, Andrew B. Kennedy explores how the world’s most powerful country approaches its growing collaboration with these two rising powers.
Christopher J. Fettweis investigates how the idea of being number one affects the decision-making of America’s foreign-policy elite. He examines the role the United States plays in providing global common goods, such as peace and security; the effect of the Cold War’s end on nuclear-weapon strategy and policy; the psychological consequences of unbalanced power; and the grand strategies that have emerged in unipolarity.

A New Foreign Policy
A Nation Like All Others
Beyond American Exceptionalism
A Brief History of American Foreign Relations
Jeffrey D. Sachs
Warren I. Cohen
Jeffrey D. Sachs provides the blueprint for a new foreign policy that embraces global cooperation, international law, and aspirations for worldwide prosperity—not nationalism and dreams of past glory. Sachs presents timely and achievable plans to foster global economic growth and shift from war making to peacemaking. A New Foreign Policy explores both the danger of the “America first” mindset and the concrete steps the United States must take to build a multipolar world that is prosperous, peaceful, fair, and resilient.
In this comprehensive account of American foreign relations from the nation’s birth through the Obama administration, Warren I. Cohen calls attention to the uses—and abuses—of U.S. international leadership. A Nation Like All Others offers a brisk, argumentative history that confronts the concept of American exceptionalism and decries the lack of moral imagination in American foreign policy. $35.00 / £27.00 cloth 978-0-231-17566-1 2018 328 pages

From Selma to Moscow
The Return of Bipolarity in World Politics
How Human Rights Activists Transformed U.S. Foreign Policy
China, the United States, and Geostructural Realism
Sarah B. Snyder
From Selma to Moscow demonstrates the crucial role of transnational connections and social movements in spurring human rights activism in the 1960s and 1970s. Sarah B. Snyder shows how activism transformed U.S. foreign policy, curbing military and economic assistance to repressive governments, creating institutions to monitor human rights around the world, and enshrining human rights in policy making. $30.00 / £24.00 paper 978-0-231-16947-9 $90.00 / £70.00 cloth 978-0-231-16946-2 2018 320 pages / 13 illus.
Øystein Tunsjø
Øystein Tunsjø surveys the new era of superpowers, arguing that the combined effects of the narrowing power gap between China and the United States and the widening power gap between China and any third-ranking power portend a new bipolar system that will differ in crucial ways from that of the last century. Tunsjø predicts that the two superpowers will not be as prone to arms races, that the risk of limited war is likely higher, and that rivalry and conflict between the two will occur in East Asia instead of globally. $65.00 / £50.00 cloth 978-0-231-17654-5 2018 288 pages / 7 illus.

Confronting Inequality
Political Categories
Thinking Beyond Concepts
How Societies Can Choose Inclusive Growth
Michael Marder
Jonathan D. Ostry, Prakash Loungani, and Andrew Berg Foreword by Joseph E. Stiglitz
Inequality has drastically increased in many countries around the globe over the past three decades. The widening gap between the very rich and everyone else is often portrayed as an unexpected outcome or as the tradeoff we must accept to achieve economic growth. In this book, three International Monetary Fund economists show that this increase in inequality has in fact been a political choice—and explain what policies we should choose instead to achieve a more inclusive economy.
Michael Marder proposes a new methodology for political science and philosophy, one which he terms “categorial thinking.” Under this lens, the political appears not as a singular concept but as a family of categories, allowing room for new, plural, and often antagonistic ideas about the state, the people, sovereignty, and power. $30.00 /£24.00 paper 978-0-231-18869-2 $90.00 / £70.00 cloth 978-0-231-18868-5 2019 272 pages

Man, the State, and War
The Practice of Political Theory
Kenneth N. Waltz
Clayton Chin
Rorty and Continental Thought
A Theoretical Analysis Anniversary Edition
Foreword by Stephen M. Walt
What are the causes of war? How might the world be made more peaceful? In this landmark work of international relations theory first published in 1959, the eminent realist scholar Kenneth N. Waltz offers a foundational analysis of the nature of conflict between states. He explores works by classic political philosophers, such as St. Augustine, Hobbes, Kant, and Rousseau, and by modern psychologists and anthropologists to discover ideas intended to explain war among states and related prescriptions for peace.
Clayton Chin illustrates the significance of Richard Rorty’s thought for contemporary political thinking, casting his conception of “philosophy as cultural politics” as a resource for new models of sociopolitical criticism. He juxtaposes Rorty’s pragmatism with the ontological turn, illuminating them as alternative interventions in the current debate over the crisis of foundations in philosophy. $65.00 / £50.00 cloth 978-0-231-17398-8 2018 312 pages

Women Mobilizing Memory
Realist Thought in Theory and Practice
Edited by Ayşe Gül Altınay, María José Contreras, Marianne Hirsch, Jean Howard, Banu Karaca, and Alisa Solomon Women Mobilizing Memory emerges from a multiyear feminist collaboration bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, artists, and activists from Chile, Turkey, and the United States.

Edited by Matt Sleat
Intervening in philosophical debates such as the relationship between politics and morality and the role that facts and emotions should play in the theorization of political values, this volume addresses how a realist approach aids our understanding of pressing issues such as global justice, inequality, poverty, political corruption, the value of democracy, governmental secrecy, and demands for transparency. Contributors open up fruitful dialogues with a variety of other realist approaches, such as feminist theory, democratic theory, and international relations. $80.00 / £62.00 cloth 978-0-231-17528-9 2018 408 pages
The Holocaust and the Nakba
Queer Terror
Life, Death, and Desire in the Settler Colony
A New Grammar of Trauma and History
C. Heike Schotten
Edited by Bashir Bashir and Amos Goldberg Foreword by Elias Khoury
Afterword by Jacqueline Rose
After Sept. 11, 2001, George W. Bush declared, “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” Bush’s assertion encapsulates the civilizationalist moralism that has always motivated and defined the United States, linking the War on Terror to the nation’s settlement and founding. C. Heike Schotten provides an anatomy of this moralism, arguing for a new interpretation of biopolitics focused on sovereignty and desire rather than racism and biology.
In this groundbreaking book, leading Arab and Jewish intellectuals examine how and why the Holocaust and the Nakba are interlinked without blurring fundamental differences between them. Focusing on similarities and differences, contributors pave the way for a new political, historical, and moral grammar that enables a joint Arab-Jewish dwelling and supports historical reconciliation in Israel/Palestine.

Putting North Korea’s Human Rights Abuses on the Record
Autonomy and Alliance in an Era of Rival Powers
Sandra Fahy
Dying for Rights scrutinizes how North Korea treats its own people as well as foreign nationals, how violations committed by the state spread into the international realm, and how North Korea uses its state media and presence at the United Nations. Sandra Fahy meticulously documents the extent of arbitrary detention, torture, executions, and the network of prison camps throughout the country, detailing the systematic and widespread violations of freedom of speech and of movement, and the rights to food and to life.
Scott A. Snyder
In South Korea at the Crossroads, Scott A. Snyder examines the trajectory of fifty years of South Korean foreign policy and offers predictions—and a prescription—for the future. Pairing a historical perspective with a shrewd understanding of today’s political landscape, Snyder contends that South Korea’s best strategy remains investing in a robust alliance with the United States. $35.00 / £27.00 cloth 978-0-231-18548-6 2018 376 pages / 15 illus.

Rongbin Han
Rongbin Han offers a powerful explanation for the survival of the world’s largest authoritarian regime in the digital age. Han reveals the complex internal dynamics of online expression in China, showing how the state, service providers, and netizens negotiate the limits of discourse. He finds that state censorship has conditioned online expression but has failed to bring it under control. Han also finds that freer expression may work to the regime’s advantage in a number of ways, including the presence of state-sponsered, spontaneous, pro-government commenters on the Internet. $30.00 / £20.00 paper 978-0-231-18475-5 $90.00 / £70.00 cloth 978-0-231-18474-8 2018 336 pages / 12 illus.

At a time when China’s role in the world is becoming the focus of international business strategy and Brexit is pushing the United Kingdom to look to the rest of the world for trade and investment, Kerry Brown assesses the potential for a new “golden age” of UK–China relations and discusses what the United Kingdom needs to understand about China before embarking on such a venture. $30.00 paper 978-1-78821157-4 $90.00 cloth 978-1-78821156-7

Lau examines various economic statistics of the past few decades to show that while the real effects of the China-U.S. trade war in 2018 are not negligible, they are relatively manageable for both nations. Lau argues it is up to each government to battle against the rise of xenophobia, based on the fact that China-U.S. economic collaboration could be a positive-sum game through better coordination and fully utilizing each other’s currently underutilized resources.

Edited by Alfred Stepan
Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab
During the two decades that preceded the 2011 revolutions in Egypt and Syria, animated debates took place in Cairo and Damascus on political and social goals for the future. Egyptian and Syrian intellectuals argued over the meaning of tanwir, Arabic for “enlightenment,” and its significance for contemporary politics. They took up questions of human dignity, liberty, reason, tolerance, civil society, democracy, and violence. Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab offers a groundbreaking analysis of the tanwir debates and their import for the 2011 uprisings.

Webs of Corruption
Targeting Top Terrorists
Trafficking and Terrorism in Central Asia
Understanding Leadership Removal in Counterterrorism Strategy
Mariya Y. Omelicheva and Lawrence P. Markowitz
Bryan C. Price
Counterterrorism experts and policy makers have warned of the peril posed by the connections between violent extremism and organized crime, especially the relationship between drug trafficking and terrorism funding. Yet Central Asia, the site of extensive opium trafficking, sees low levels of terrorist violence. Webs of Corruption is an innovative study demonstrating that terrorist and criminal activity intersect more narrowly than is widely believed—and that the state plays the pivotal role in shaping those interconnections.
Analyzing hundreds of cases of leadership turnover from over two hundred terrorist groups, Bryan C. Price demonstrates that although the tactic may result in short-term negative side effects, the loss of top leaders significantly reduces terror groups’ life spans. He explains vital questions such as: What factors make some terrorist groups more vulnerable than others? Is it better to kill or capture terrorist leaders? How does leadership decapitation compare to other counterterrorism options?

Triadic Coercion
Israel’s Targeting of States That Host Nonstate Actors
How America’s Partners Help and Hinder the War on Terror
Wendy Pearlman and Boaz Atzili
Stephen Tankel
In the post–Cold War era, states increasingly find themselves in conflicts with nonstate actors. Finding it difficult to fight these opponents directly, many governments instead target states that harbor or aid nonstate actors. Wendy Pearlman and Boaz Atzili investigate this strategy, which they term triadic coercion. They explain why states pursue triadic coercion, evaluate the conditions under which it succeeds, and demonstrate their arguments across seventy years of Israeli history.
Stephen Tankel analyzes the factors that shape counterterrorism cooperation. He considers the changing nature of counterterrorism, exploring how counterterrorism efforts after 9/11 critically differ both from those that existed beforehand and from traditional alliances. Focusing on U.S. partnerships with Algeria, Egypt, Mali, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen against al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations, Tankel offers nuanced propositions about what the United States can expect from its counterterrorism partners.

International Policy Rules and Inequality
The Welfare State Revisited
Implications for Global Economic Governance
Edited by José Antonio Ocampo and Joseph E. Stiglitz
Edited by José Antonio Ocampo
In this book, contributors scrutinize how the rules of global economic governance—or the lack thereof—determine the extent and growth of inequality. They provide an in-depth examination of the rules governing foreign-investment protection, cross-border financial flows, and intellectual property rights, as well as the lack of standards governing international taxation and the channels through which policy makers might affect inequality.
The welfare state has been under attack for decades, but now more than ever we need strong social programs to combat inequality, support social justice, and even improve economic performance. This book brings together distinguished contributors to examine global variations of social programs and make the case for a redesigned welfare state.

CHALLENGES IN DEVELOPMENT AND GLOBALIZATION
The Indian Economy
Rethinking Global Labour
Matthew McCartney
Towards a New Social Settlement
Ronaldo Munck
Ronaldo Munck offers a sober appraisal of how globalization has created a new global working class through the massive acceleration of capital accumulation and, concomitantly, has increased the insecurity and precarious nature of most employment. Munck suggests that we are now moving beyond categories of North and South as workers of the world share both the effects of global capitalism and the lessons to be learned.
This book explains the development of the Indian economy since independence and partition. Matthew McCartney uses case studies of poverty and inequality, education, health, work, and gender issues to outline the human story behind the economic figures and performance indicators.

Europeanisation and Renationalisation
No Place for Russia European Security Institutions Since 1989
Learning from Crises for Innovation and Development
William H. Hill
Edited by Ulrike Liebert and Anne Jenichen
William H. Hill traces the development of the post–Cold War European security order, showing how attempts to integrate Russia into a unified Euro-Atlantic security order were gradually overshadowed by the domination of NATO and the EU—at Russia’s expense. In light of Russia’s annexation of Crimea and war in eastern Ukraine, Hill argues that the post–Cold War security order in Europe has been irrevocably shattered, to be replaced by a new and as-yet-undefined order. $40.00 / £30.00 cloth 978-0-231-70458-8 2018 536 pages

The European Union’s Democracy Promotion in Central Asia
Alarums and Excursions
Improvising Politics on the European Stage
A Study of Political Interests, Influence, and Development in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in 2007–2013
Luuk van Middelaar
Translated by Liz Waters
Aijan Sharshenova Foreword by Gordon Crawford A Europe originally designed to regulate and enforce rules about fishing, wheat quotas, and product standards has found itself flung onto the global stage to grapple with problems of identity, sovereignty, and solidarity without a script or prompt. From Paris to Berlin and London to Athens, European leaders have had to improvise on issues threatening to engulf their unique political entity. In a revealing and candid portrayal, Luuk van Middelaar gives us the insider’s view of the European Union’s political metamorphosis.
The European Union made the areas of democracy, human rights, rule of law, and good governance top cooperation priorities of the EU Strategy framework toward central Asia for 2007–2013. This book examines to what extent EU democracy promotion in central Asia has been successful and how it was accomplished. $45.00 paper 978-3-8382-1151-0 2018 300 pages

How Can the EU Survive in a Disordered World?
Evaluating Variances in the Impact of the UNDP and the EC in Rwanda
Edited by Jānis Bērziņš and Sven Bernhard Gareis
Simone Beetz
Currently, the European Union is at a crossroads in its existence as a political union. The war in and around Syria, the main cause of the refugee question, demands a coherent European position and action. Financial crises in the Eurozone have not yet been fully settled. Russia's actions in Ukraine together with its anti-Western foreign policy call into question the European security order. This book analyzes the risks the European Union faces as it pursues political and institutional responses to these crises.
Simone Beetz considers the mixed results of international agencies in democracy promotion despite these agencies’ attempts to shape a common policy as emphasized in various international agreements. Against the background of backlashes and the search for new answers, Beetz analyzes how the United Nations Development Programme and the European Commission promoted democracy in Rwanda from 2003 until 2013. Beetz also explains how key democracy-promotion strategies differ.

While the diplomatic use of popular music was initially limited to such genres as jazz, the second half of the twentieth century saw a growing presence of various popular genres in diplomatic contexts, including rock, punk, reggae, and hip-hop. This volume illuminates the interrelation of popular music and public diplomacy from a transnational and transdisciplinary angle.

This volume presents a unique critical survey of the online and offline tactics, symbols, and platforms that are strategically remixed to stake national and transnational cultural claims by contemporary far-right groups in Europe and North America. International scholars examine how and why the internet has been crucial to emboldening extreme nationalisms in these regions and what cultural approaches civil societies should develop in response.
