Letter from the editors: Columbia University Press’s 2019–2020 political science catalog offers cutting edge titles exploring our increasingly precarious politics. In Disrespectful Democracy, Emily Sydnor examines how individual psychology dictates our reaction to political incivility and whether this factor drives us to engage or disengage from politics. In The Politics of Losing, sociologists Rory McVeigh and Kevin Estep explore the ways slipping status can mobilize groups to engage in white nationalist politics. In Changing Cultures in Congress, Donald R. Wolfensberger shows how the congressional playbook has been distorted, with both parties gaming what the founders had intended to be impartial legislative rules. And Andrew H. Sidman’s PorkBarrel Politics analyzes whether bringing pork home to the home district helps electoral chances, or hurts them. We are pleased to announce a new series in international relations: 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 such classic Columbia University Press titles as Kenneth Waltz’s Man, the State, and War, now reissued in a sixtieth anniversary commemorative edition, with a foreword by Stephen Walt. Our global politics books remain focused on the most pressing current events on the international stage. Russian economist and politician Grigory Yavlinsky explores the root causes of dysfunction in authoritarian Russia in The Putin System, and energy expert Jim Krane examines the political role of the Gulf ’s oil markets with Energy Kingdoms. In The First Political Order, Valerie Hudson, Donna Lee Bowen, and Perpetua Lynne Nielsen deliver a sweeping historical, evolutionary, and evidence-based account of how male domination in society makes countries less safe and less prosperous. Lastly, drawing on the cultural interest in dystopian narratives to explain our current political moment, Amy Atchison and Shauna Shames present a witty overview of the politics of democracy, governance, and resistance in the classroom-friendly Survive and Resist. Our political-theory list features some very timely books in light of the global populism challenge. In the Ruins of Neoliberalism, Wendy Brown investigates the authoritarian assault on democratic values. A Time for Critique, edited by Didier Fassin and Bernard E. Harcourt, offers a systematic reappraisal of critical thinking for the present moment. Transitional Subjects, edited by Amy Allen and Brian O’Connor, and Noëlle McAfee’s Fear of Breakdown ask us to consider how psychoanalysis augments critical theory by providing an understanding of the self as socially constituted. The Limits of Tolerance, by Denis Lacorne, helps us to rethink fundamental challenges to Enlightenment values from the hardcore religious right. Other forthcoming titles include Beef, Brahmins, and Broken Men; an annotated critical edition of B. R. Ambedkar’s The Untouchables, edited by Alex George and S. Anand; Subaltern Social Groups, a critical edition of Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebook 25, edited by Joseph A. Buttigieg and Marcus E. Green; and Capitalism on Edge by Albena Azmanova, which explains how capitalism can be transformed from within without a revolutionary rupture. Sincerely, Stephen Wesley, editor, American politics and U.S. foreign relations Caelyn Cobb, editor, international relations, comparative politics, and security studies Wendy Lochner, publisher, political theory

In the Ruins of Neoliberalism
A Time for Critique Edited by Didier Fassin and Bernard E. Harcourt
The Rise of Antidemocratic Politics in the West
Wendy Brown
Wendy Brown explains the hard-right turn in Western politics. She argues that neoliberalism’s intensification of nihilism coupled with its accidental wounding of white male supremacy generates an apocalyptic populism willing to destroy the world rather than endure a future in which this supremacy disappears.
In A Time for Critique, Didier Fassin, Bernard E. Harcourt, and a group of eminent political theorists, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, literary and legal scholars reflect on the multiplying contexts and forms of critical discourses and on the social actors and social movements engaged in them.

How Fighting Precarity Can Achieve Radical Change Without Crisis or Utopia
The Psychology of Political Incivility Emily Sydnor
Albena Azmanova
Capitalism on Edge offers a novel diagnosis of the current moment to reveal that the potential for sweeping transformation must come from an unexpected direction. Albena Azmanova demonstrates that capitalism is not on its deathbed, revolution is not in the cards, and utopianism cannot steer us toward a brighter future.
Disrespectful Democracy offers a new account of the relationship between incivility and political behavior based on a key individual predisposition— conflict orientation. Drawing on a range of original surveys and experiments, Emily Sydnor contends that the rise of incivility in political media has transformed political involvement.

The Politics of Losing
The Tyranny of Authenticity and the Rise of Populism Catherine Fieschi
Populism, or the political ideology that pits the people against elites, has become a significant feature of mature democracies in the twenty-first century. The rise of populist parties on the right and the left, that appeal to a broad electorate is proving a powerful and disruptive force.

Jeffrey Israel
Foreword by Martha C. Nussbaum
Jeffrey Israel offers an innovative argument for the power of playfulness in popular culture to make our capacity for coexistence imaginable.

Benjamin Rolsky examines the ways in which American liberalism have helped shape cultural conflict since the 1970s through the story of how television writer and producer Norman Lear galvanized the religious left. He foregrounds the roles played by popular culture, television, and media in America’s religious history.

Avicenna and the Aristotelian Left
Fear of Breakdown Politics and Psychoanalysis
Ernst Bloch
Translated by Loren Goldman and
Noëlle McAfee
Peter Thompson
Ernst Bloch gives a striking account of materialism that traces emancipatoryelements of modern thought to medieval Islamic philosophers’ encounter with Aristotle. He argues that the great medieval Islamic philosopher Avicenna (Ibn Sina) planted the seeds of a radical materialism still relevant for critical theory today.
Noëlle McAfee uses psychoanalytic theory to explore the subterranean anxieties behind current crises and the ways in which democratic practices can help work through seemingly intractable political conflicts. Fear of Breakdown contends that politics needs something that only psychoanalysis has been able to offer.

An Interdisciplinary Essay
Many claim that political deliberation has become exceedingly affective and hence destabilizing. This book reframes the debate by deploying the analytic framework of affective societies—claiming that in all aspects of the social, affect and emotion are present. What changes are modes and calibrations of affective and emotional registers.
Islamic Fundamentalism Versus Liberal Nationalism
Mansoor Moaddel provides groundbreaking empirical data to demonstrate how the collision between Islamic fundamentalism and liberal nationalism explains the Middle East and North Africa’s present and will determine its future. Offering a rigorous perspective on social change, The Clash of Values disentangles the region’s political complexity.

The Experience of Injustice
Pierre Rosanvallon's Political Thought Interdisciplinary Approaches
A Theory of Recognition
Emmanuel Renault
The work of Pierre Rosanvallon has increasingly found itself at the center of debates in democratic and political theory. This interdisciplinary volume, the first comprehensive collection on his political thought in English, seeks to lay the groundwork for the study of this eminent political thinker and historian.
In The Experience of Injustice, the French philosopher Emmanuel Renault opens an important new chapter in critical theory. Inspired by Axel Honneth, Renault argues that a radicalized version of Honneth’s ethics of recognition can provide a systematic alternative to the liberal-democratic projects of such thinkers as Rawls and Habermas.

Confronting Inequality
International Policy Rules and Inequality
How Societies Can Choose Inclusive Growth
Implications for Global Economic Governance
Jonathan D. Ostry, Prakash Loungani, and Andrew Berg
Edited by José Antonio Ocampo
Foreword by Joseph E. Stiglitz
The widening inequality 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.
An interdisciplinary group of prominent scholars scrutinizes how the rules of global economic governance—or the lack thereof—determine the extent and growth of inequality. With a focus on achievable reforms, this book offers concrete steps capable of counteracting inequitable wealth distribution and bringing about fairer economic growth. $75.00/ £58.00 cloth 978-0-231-19084-8 2019 304 pages

Politics Recovered
Political Categories
Realist Thought in Theory and Practice
Thinking Beyond Concepts Michael Marder
Edited by Matt Sleat
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.
Politics Recovered brings together prominent scholars to develop the idea of what it might mean to theorize politics “realistically.” By exploring the nature, distinctiveness, and prospects of realist thought, contributors show how political theory can provide meaningful and compelling answers to the fundamental questions of political life.

America's Response to China
Allies of Convenience
A Theory of Bargaining in U.S. Foreign Policy
A History of SinoAmerican Relations Sixth Edition
Evan N. Resnick
Warren I. Cohen
America’s Response to China has long been the standard resource for a succinct, historically grounded assessment of an increasingly complicated relationship. For this sixth edition, Warren I. Cohen adds an analysis of the policies of Barack Obama and the complications of the presidency of Donald Trump.
Evan N. 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. Resnick’s neoclassical realist theory explains why U.S. leaders negotiate less effectively with unfriendly autocratic states than with friendly liberal ones.

In China's Wake
Voices from the Chinese Century
How the Commodity Boom Transformed Development Strategies in the Global South
Public Intellectual Debate from Contemporary China
Edited by Timothy Cheek, David Ownby, and Joshua A. Fogel
Nicholas Jepson
Voices from the Chinese Century brings together a selection of essays from representative leading thinkers that offer an entryway into public debate in China today on fundamental questions of China and the world—past, present, and future. The voices in this volume include figures from each of China’s main intellectual clusters.
Nicholas Jepson shows how Chinese demand not only transformed commodity markets but also provided resource-rich states with the financial leeway to set their own policy agendas. He combines analysis of China-led structural change with finegrained detail on how the boom played out across fifteen different resource-rich countries.

Arsenal of Autocracy – Russia and China's Military Strategy in a Multipolar World
How Sentiment Matters in International Relations: China and the South China Sea Dispute
David Groten
Alexandr Burilkov
This book explores the military strategy and modernization of Russia and China after 2001. In an international system where U.S. power wanes, Russia and China are the most potent challengers to the post-Cold War world order. The security challenge these powers pose is enhanced by their histories and status as revisionist powers. $55.00 cloth 978-3-8474-2327-0
The rise of China represents a major challenge for regional stability in Southeast Asia. This book contends that experiences of perceived disrespect by the Chinese side have contributed to its increasingly bold stance toward the South China Sea dispute. However, conflict is not inevitable and the book provides a number of policy recommendations.

Extraordinary Justice
Red China's Green Revolution
Law, Politics, and the Khmer Rouge Tribunals
Technological Innovation, Institutional Change, and Economic Development Under the Commune
Craig Etcheson
Joshua Eisenman
China’s dismantling of the Mao-era commune system under Deng Xiaoping has been seen as a successful turn away from a misguided social experiment. Joshua Eisenman marshals previously inaccessible data to overturn this narrative, showing that the commune modernized agriculture, increased productivity, and laid the foundation for future rapid growth.
Craig Etcheson, one of the world’s foremost experts on the Cambodian genocide and its aftermath, draws on decades of experience to trace the evolution of transitional justice in the country from the late 1970s to the present. He considers how war crimes tribunals come into existence, how they operate and unfold, and what happens in their wake.

Edited by George Soroka, Tomasz Stępniewski, and Julie Fedor Grigory Yavlinsky, a Russian economist and opposition leader, explains his country’s politics from a unique perspective and argues that Putin is as much a product of the system as its creator.

The Kremlin today is paradoxically both following an aggressive “realist” agenda that seeks to clearly delineate its sphere of influence in Europe and Eurasia and simultaneously attempting to promote “soft power” and a historical-civilizational justification for its recent actions in Ukraine and elsewhere. $35.00 paper 978-3-8382-1236-4 2018 140 pages

Romania’s Strategic Culture 1990–2014
The East Turkestan Independence Movement, 1930s to 1940s
Continuity and Change in a Post-Communist Country’s Evolution of National Interests and Security Policies
Wang Ke Translated by Carissa Fletcher
Based on rare firsthand historical data, Wang Ke presents an analysis of East Turkestan, including the perspective of Islamic social structure; the origin and evolution of thoughts on national revolution; the internal structure of the independence movement; and the power structure of the republic, international relations, and international politics.
Romania’s communist regime cultivated a thorny relationship with the Soviet Union, which facilitated the development of a national security narrative legitimizing a highly isolationist foreign policy. These factors have heavily weighed on Romanian postcommunist strategic thinking and complicated the transition process.

Understanding Leadership Removal in Counterterrorism Strategy
David Tucker and Christopher J. Lamb
Bryan C. Price
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?
In this book, two national security experts put the exploits of America’s special operation forces in historical and strategic context.

Examining female fighters in over 250 rebel organizations, Wood argues that drawing on women increases the pool of available recruits and helps ameliorate resource constraints. Furthermore, the visible presence of female fighters often becomes an important propaganda tool for domestic and international audiences. $35.00 / £27.00 paper 978-0-231-1929-9 $105.00 / £81.00 cloth 978-0-231-19298-9 2019 304 pages

Perrin Selcer tells the story of how the United Nations built the international knowledge infrastructure that made the global-scale environment visible. He traces how UN programs such as UNESCO’s Arid Lands Project, the production of a soil map of the world, and plans for a global environmental-monitoring system fell short of utopian ambitions to cultivate world citizens but did produce an international community of experts with influential connections to national governments. $65.00 / £50.00 cloth 978-0-231-16648-5
A Moving Border builds upon the Italian Limes project by Studio Folder, which was devised in 2014 to survey the fluctuations of the boundary line across the Alps in real time.

Migration as a (Geo-) Political Challenge in the Post-Soviet Space
Mediated Bordering
Olga R. Gulina
Sabrina Ellebrecht
Eurosur, the Refugee Boat, and the Construction of an External EU Border
Border Regimes, Policy Choices, Visa Agendas
Migration management in post-Soviet states has become a tool for staking out zones of influence, a winning slogan for election campaigns, and a handle on the domestic population. This volume explains why shifts in migration management are both causes for and consequences of political changes that influence foreign and domestic policy making.
The external border of the EU remains under permanent construction. Sabrina Ellebrecht engages with two of its primary building sites—the European Border Surveillance System (Eurosur) and the Refugee Boat. She analyzes how the function of the EU’s political border is crafted, shaped, produced, and eventually stabilized through these two mediators.

The “gig economy” covers people self-employed, who work for hire; those on temporary, short-term contracts; and those on zero-hours contracts. Proponents of flexible working arrangements point to the opportunities the gig economy offers to unlock the potential of those who cannot work full-time and note that technology is changing the nature of work. Proponents fear that it is driven by the corporate need to cut costs and reduce the administrative burden and legal responsibilities that accompany a permanent workforce. $23.00 paper 978-1-78821-005-8 $70.00 cloth 978-1-78821-004-1 2019 160 pages

The Size of Government

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.

The Economy of the Gulf States
Energy Kingdoms
Oil and Political Survival in the Persian Gulf
Matthew Gray
Jim Krane
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.
Covering the period since 1945, with a focus on the last twenty years, Matthew Gray outlines the main factors that have shaped the political economies of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. His analysis includes problems of state formation and ruling elite legitimacy, the role of oil and energy, the challenges of economic geography, the wider international political setting and its impacts, and constraints to economic reform.

The Rise of Political FactChecking in American Journalism
Over the past decade, American outlets such as PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, and the Washington Post’s Fact Checker have shaken up the political world by holding public figures accountable for what they say. Lucas Graves vividly recounts the routines of journalists at three of these hyperconnected, technologically innovative organizations and explains what informs their approach to a story. Graves also provides a history of the fact-checking movement, its recent evolution from the blogosphere, and its effect on journalistic ethics and practice. $30.00 / £24.00 paper 978-0-231-17507-4 $90.00 / £70.00 cloth 978-0-231-17506-7 2016 336 pages

Starve and Immolate tells the story of leftist political prisoners in Turkey who waged a deadly struggle against the introduction of high security prisons by forging their lives into weapons. Banu Bargu positions the weaponization of life as a bleak, violent, and ambivalent form of insurgent politics that seeks to wrench the power of life and death away from the modern state on corporeal grounds and in increasingly theologized forms.
