Women Will Vote Winning Suffrage in New York State Susan Goodier and K aren Pastorello
Women Will Vote celebrates the 2017 centenary of women’s right to full suffrage in New York State. Susan Goodier and Karen Pastorello highlight the activism of rural, urban, African American, Jewish, immigrant, and European American women, as well as male suffragists, both upstate and downstate, that led to the positive outcome of the 1917 referendum. Goodier and Pastorello argue that the popular nature of the women’s suffrage movement in New York State and the resounding success of the referendum at the polls relaunched suffrage as a national issue. If women had failed to gain the vote in New York, Goodier and Pastorello claim, there is good reason to believe that the passage and ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment would have been delayed. Women Will Vote makes clear how actions of New York’s patchwork of suffrage advocates heralded a gigantic political, social, and legal shift in the United States. Readers will discover that although these groups did not always collaborate, by working in their own ways toward the goal of enfranchising women they essentially formed a coalition. Together, they created a diverse social and political movement that did not rely solely on the motivating force of white elites and a leadership based in New York City. Goodier and Pastorello convincingly argue that the agitation and organization that led to New York women’s victory in 1917 changed the course of American history. Susan Goodier is Lecturer in History at SUNY Oneonta. She is the author of No Votes for Women. K aren Pastorello is Professor of History at Tompkins Cortland Community College (SUNY). She is the author of The Progressives and A Power Among Them.
“This excellent book, full of new information, extends our understanding of women’s suffrage.” —Jean H. Baker, author of Sisters “Women Will Vote is an important book that fills in a glaring absence in the literature, ensuring that students and scholars today will have a really strong sense of New York's suffrage experience.” —Laura Free, author of Suffrage Reconstructed “At last! We have a fine history of the women’s suffrage movement in New York State. Women Will Vote will make you think about how democracy really works. Read it!” —Judith Wellman, author of The Road to Seneca Falls

Protest Politics in the Marketplace Consumer Activism in the Corporate Age Caroline Heldman
Protest Politics in the Marketplace examines how social media has revolutionized the use and effectiveness of consumer activism. In her groundbreaking book, Caroline Heldman emphasizes that consumer activism is a democratizing force that improves political participation, self-governance, and the accountability of corporations and the government. She also investigates the use of these tactics by conservatives. Heldman analyzes the democratic implications of boycotting, socially responsible investing, social media campaigns, and direct consumer actions, highlighting the ways in which such consumer activism serves as a countervailing force against corporate power in politics. In Protest Politics in the Marketplace, she blends democratic theory with data, historical analysis, and coverage of consumer campaigns for civil rights, environmental conservation, animal rights, gender justice, LGBT rights, and other causes. Using an inter-disciplinary approach applicable to political theorists and sociologists, Americanists, and scholars of business, the environment, and social movements, Heldman considers activism in the marketplace from the Boston Tea Party to the present. In doing so, she provides readers with a clearer understanding of the new, permanent environment of consumer activism in which they operate. C a roline Heldm an is Associate Professor of Politics at Occidental College. She is the coeditor of Rethinking Madame President.

The Populist Persuasion An American History REVISED EDITION WITH A NEW PREFACE
Michael K azin
In The Populist Persuasion, the distinguished historian Michael Kazin guides readers through the expressions of conflict between powerful elites and “the people” that have run through our civic life, filling it with discord and meaning from the birth of the United States until the present day. Kazin argues persuasively that the power of populism lies in its adaptable nature. Across the political spectrum, commentators paste the label on forces and individuals who really have just one big thing in common: they are effective at blasting “elites” or “the establishment” for harming the interests and betraying the ideals of “the people” in nations that are committed, at least officially, to democratic principles. Kazin’s classic book has influenced debates over populism since its publication. The new preface to this edition brings the story up to date by charting the present resurgence of populist discourse, which was front and center in the 2016 elections and in the Brexit debate. Michael K azin is Professor of History at Georgetown University and coeditor of Dissent. His many books include War Against War, American Dreamers, and A Godly Hero.
“A perceptive and passionately liberal book. Beginning with the antislavery crusade of the 1840s, Kazin skillfully surveys more than a century of mass protests, using imagery and symbolism as his guides.” —New York Times “Kazin shows populism’s canny ability to mix homespun rhetoric and political savvy. The book explains something very important in American life with scrupulous fairness and a keen eye for the humanizing detail. It is as good a road map as we have to the politics of the people who work hard and play by the rules.” —Wall Street Journal

Sacrifice My Life in a Fascist Militia Alessandro Orsini Tr ansl ated from the Italian by Sar ah Jane Nodes
Alessandro Orsini is one of Italy’s premier analysts of political extremism. His investigation of the beliefs and mind-sets of Europe’s political fringe has largely focused on anarchist and far-left groups, but in Sacrifice he turns his inquiry to the rapidly expanding neofascist movement. He joined local groups of a neofascist organization he names Sacrifice in two neighboring cities with very different political cultures. In this gripping, “insider” book, which features dialogues with various militia members, Orsini shows how fascists live day to day, how they understand their world, and how they build a parallel universe in which the correctness and probity of their attitudes are clear. Orsini describes the long, troubled process by which these two groups slowly accepted him as an investigatoractivist and later expelled him for his ideologically uncommitted stance and refusal to subject his observations to censorship. His activities as a fascist were often mundane: leafleting, distributing food parcels to the indigent, and attending public rallies. In Sacrifice, Orsini describes from within the masculine ethos of the militias, the groups’ relations with local police and politicians, and the central role of violence and anticommunist actions in building a sense of fascist community. Alessandro Orsini is Director of the Observatory on International Security at LUISS University of Rome, Department of Political Science, and Research Affiliate at the Center for International Studies of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of Anatomy of the Red Brigades, also from Cornell. Sar ah Jane Nodes is a translator who lives in Rome.

Continent by Default The European Union and the Demise of Regional Order Anne Marie Le Gloannec
In Continent by Default, Anne Marie Le Gloannec, a distinguished analyst of contemporary Europe, considers the European Union as a geopolitical project. This book offers a comprehensive narrative of how the European Union came to organize the continent, first by default through enlargement and in a more proactive, innovative, but not always successful way. The EU was not conceived as a foreign-policy actor, she says, and the Union was an innocent on questions of geopolitics. For readers who may wonder how the EU arrived at Brexit, the invasion of Ukraine, and the refugee crisis, Le Gloannec ties events to the EU’s long-term failure to think in politically strategic terms. Le Gloannec takes readers through the process by which, under the security umbrella of the United States, the European Commission engineered a new way for states and societies to interact. Continent by Default shows the Commission domesticated international relations and promoted peace by including new members—enlargement was the most significant tool the EU used from its inception to organize the continent, but the EU also tied itself to its regional neighbors through various programs that too often gave those neighbors the advantage. As Continent by Default makes clear, the EU cannot devise strategy because foreign policy remains the privilege of national governments. It is a geopolitical actor without geopolitical means.
“What happens when soft power goes right and hard power goes missing? Anne Marie LeGloannec’s Continent by Default is a superbly timed, extraordinarily sobering, and persuasively argued survey of current European-Union geopolitical dilemmas.” —Charles S. Maier, author of Once within Borders “This original and timely book is of exceptionally high quality. Anne Marie Le Gloannec’s insights and interpretations make a major contribution to the literature on the EU.” —Desmond Dinan, author of Ever Closer Union
Anne Marie Le Gloannec is a senior research fellow at Sciences Po. She is the editor of Non-state Actors in International Relations.

The End of Grand Strategy US Maritime Operations in the Twenty-first Century Simon Reich and Peter Dombrowski
In The End of Grand Strategy, Simon Reich and Peter Dombrowski challenge the common view of grand strategy as unitary. They eschew prescription of any one specific approach, chosen from a spectrum that stretches from global primacy to restraint and isolationism, in favor of describing what America’s military actually does, day to day. They argue that a series of fundamental recent changes in the global system, the inevitable jostling of bureaucratic politics, and the practical limitations of field operations combine to ensure that each presidential administration inevitably resorts to a variety of strategies. Proponents of different American grand strategies have historically focused on the pivotal role of the Navy. In response, Reich and Dombrowski examine six major maritime operations, each of which reflects one major strategy. One size does not fit all, say the authors—the attempt to impose a single overarching blueprint is no longer feasible. Reich and Dombrowski declare that grand strategy, as we know it, is dead. The End of Grand Strategy is essential reading for policymakers, military strategists, and analysts and critics at advocacy groups and think tanks. Simon Reich is Professor of Global Affairs and Political Science at Rutgers University, Newark. He is the author of Global Norms, American Sponsorship and the Emerging Patterns of World Politics and coauthor most recently of Good-bye Hegemony!. Peter Dombrowski is Professor in the Strategic Research Department at the Naval War College.

No Path Home Humanitarian Camps and the Grief of Displacement Elizabeth Cullen Dunn
For more than 60 million displaced people around the world, humanitarian aid has become a chronic condition. No Path Home describes its symptoms in detail. Elizabeth Cullen Dunn shows how war creates a deeply damaged world in which the structures that allow people to occupy social roles, constitute economic value, preserve bodily integrity, and engage in meaningful daily practice have been blown apart. After the Georgian war with Russia in 2008, Dunn spent sixteen months immersed in the everyday lives of the 28,000 people placed in thirty-six resettlement camps by official and nongovernmental organizations acting in concert with the Georgian government. She reached the conclusion that the humanitarian condition poses a survival problem that is not only biological but also existential. In No Path Home, she paints a moving picture of the ways in which humanitarianism leaves displaced people in limbo, neither in a state of emergency nor able to act as normal citizens in the country where they reside.
“No Path Home is an extremely interesting, engaging, and well-written book. Elizabeth Cullen Dunn’s fluid and clear prose paints a very evocative picture of life for internally displaced persons as well as presenting a clear theoretical account.” —Laura Hammond, SOAS University of London, author of This Place Will Become Home

Over the Horizon Time, Uncertainty, and the Rise of Great Powers David M. Edelstein
How do established powers react to growing competitors? The United States currently faces a dilemma with regard to China and others over whether to embrace competition and thus substantial present-day costs or collaborate with its rivals to garner short-term gains while letting them become more powerful. This problem lends considerable urgency to the lessons to be learned from Over the Horizon. David M. Edelstein analyzes past rising powers in his search for answers that point the way forward for the United States as it strives to maintain control over its competitors. Edelstein focuses on the time horizons of political leaders and the effects of long-term uncertainty on decision-making. He notes how state leaders tend to procrastinate when dealing with long-term threats, hoping instead to profit from short-term cooperation, and are reluctant to act precipitously in an uncertain environment. To test his novel theory, Edelstein uses lessons learned from history’s great powers: late nineteenth-century Germany, the United States at the turn of the twentieth century, interwar Germany, and the Soviet Union at the origins of the Cold War. Over the Horizon demonstrates that cooperation between declining and rising powers is more common than we might think, although declining states may later regret having given upstarts time to mature into true threats. David M. Edelstein is Associate Professor of International Affairs in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Center for Security Studies, and Department of Government at Georgetown University. He is the author of Occupational Hazards, also from Cornell.

The Authority Trap Strategic Choices of International NGOs Sar ah S. Stroup and Wendy H. Wong
Not all international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) are created equal, Some have emerged as “leading INGOs” that command deference from various powerful audiences and are well-positioned to influence the practices of states, corporations, and other INGOs. Yet Sarah S. Stroup and Wendy H. Wong make a strong case for the tenuous nature of this position: in order to retain their authority, INGOs such as Greenpeace, Oxfam, and Amnesty International refrain from expressing radical opinions that severely damage their long-term reputation. Stroup and Wong contend such INGOs must constantly adjust their behavior to maintain a delicate equilibrium that preserves their status. Activists, scholars, and students seeking to understand how international organizations garner and conserve power—and how this affects their ability to fulfill their stated missions—will find much of value in The Authority Trap. The authors use case studies that illuminate how INGOs are received by three main audiences: NGO peers, state policymakers, and corporations. In the end, the authors argue, the more authority an INGO has, the more constrained is its ability to affect the conduct of world politics. Sar ah S. Stroup is Associate Professor of Political Science at Middlebury College. She is the author of Borders among Activists, also from Cornell. Wendy Wong is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto. She is the author of Internal Affairs, also from Cornell.
“The Authority Trap is a significant contribution to our understanding of the world of international nongovernmental organizations. Sarah S. Stroup and Wendy H. Wong’s excellent book will point scholarship in new and fruitful directions.” —Michael Barnett, author of Empire of Humanity “NGO colleagues may not agree with everything the authors say, but they will find much to stimulate their thinking about how power and politics plays out in the aid business.”—Duncan Green, Senior Strategic Adviser, Oxfam GB, author of From Poverty to Power

Secession and Security Explaining State Strategy against Separatists Ahsan I. But t
In Secession and Security, Ahsan I. Butt argues that states, rather than separatists, determine whether a secessionist struggle will be peaceful, violent, or genocidal. He investigates the strategies, ranging from negotiated concessions to large-scale repression, adopted by states in response to separatist movements. Variations in the external security environment, Butt argues, influenced the leaders of the Ottoman Empire to use peaceful concessions against Armenians in 1908 but escalate to genocide against the same community in 1915; caused Israel to reject a Palestinian state in the 1990s; and shaped peaceful splits in Czechoslovakia in 1993 and the Norway-Sweden union in 1905. Using more than one hundred interviews and extensive archival data, Butt focuses on two main cases—Pakistani reactions to Bengali and Baloch demands for independence in the 1970s and India’s responses to secessionist movements in Kashmir, Punjab, and Assam in the 1980s and 1990s. Butt’s deep historical approach to his subject will appeal to policymakers and observers interested in the last five decades of geopolitics in South Asia, the contemporary Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and ethno-national conflict, separatism, and nationalism more generally. Ahsan I. But t is Assistant Professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University.

Brutality in an Age of Human Rights Activism and Counterinsurgency at the End of the British Empire Brian Drohan
In Brutality in an Age of Human Rights, Brian Drohan demonstrates that British officials’ choices concerning counterinsurgency methods have long been deeply influenced or even redirected by the work of human rights activists. To reveal how that influence was manifested by military policies and practices, Drohan examines three British counterinsurgency campaigns—Cyprus (1955–1959), Aden (1963–1967), and the peak of the “Troubles” in Northern Ireland (1969–1976). This book is enriched by Drohan’s use of a newly available collection of 1.2 million colonial-era files, International Committee of the Red Cross files, the extensive Troubles collection at Linen Hall Library in Belfast, and many other sources. Drohan argues that when faced with human rights activism, British officials sought to evade, discredit, and deflect public criticism of their actions to avoid drawing attention to brutal counterinsurgency practices such as the use of torture during interrogation. Some of the topics discussed in the book, such as the use of violence against civilians, the desire to uphold human rights values while simultaneously employing brutal methods, and the dynamic of wars waged in the glare of the media, are of critical interest to scholars, lawyers, and government officials dealing with the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and those to come in the future. Brian Drohan is a Major in the U.S. Army.
“A work of real historical originality and significance, this fascinating piece of scholarship substantially enhances our understanding of British counterinsurgency and the relationship between war and law.” —Huw Bennett, author of Fighting the Mau Mau “Brutality in an Age of Human Rights links significant historical topics to recent conflict scenarios and legal developments. Brian Drohan raises important questions about the uses of massive force by democratic states in the context of counterinsurgency campaigns.” —Fabian Klose, author of Human Rights in the Shadow of Colonial Violence

Order at the Bazaar Power and Trade in Central Asia Regine A. Spector
Order at the Bazaar delves into the role of bazaars in the political economy and development of Central Asia. Bazaars are the economic bedrock for many throughout the region—they are the entrepreneurial hubs of Central Asia. However, they are often regarded as mafia-governed environments that are largely populated by the dispossessed. By immersing herself in the bazaars of Kyrgyzstan, Regine A. Spector learned that some are rather best characterized as islands of order in a chaotic national context. Spector draws on interviews, archival sources, and participant observation to show how traders, landowners, and municipal officials create order in the absence of a coherent government apparatus and bureaucratic state. Merchants have adapted Soviet institutions, including trade unions, and pre-Soviet practices, such as using village elders as the arbiters of disputes, to the urban bazaar by building and asserting their own authority. Spector’s findings have relevance beyond the bazaars and borders of one small country; they teach us how economic development operates when the rule of law is weak. Regine A. Spector is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The Development Dance How Donors and Recipients Negotiate the Delivery of Foreign Aid Haley J. Swedlund
In a book full of directly applicable lessons for policymakers, Haley J. Swedlund explores why foreign aid is delivered in different ways at different times, and why various approaches prove to be politically unsustainable. She finds that no aid-delivery mechanism has yet resolved commitment problems in the donor-recipient relationship; bargaining compromises break down and have to be renegotiated; frustration grows; new ways of delivering aid gain traction over existing practices; and the dance resumes. Swedlund draws on hundreds of interviews with key decision makers representing both donor agencies and recipient governments, policy and archival documents in Ghana, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, and an original survey of top-level donor officials working across twenty countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. This wealth of data informs Swedlund’s analysis of fads and fashions in the delivery of foreign aid and the interaction between effectiveness and aid delivery. The central message of The Development Dance is that if we want to know whether an aid delivery mechanism is likely to be sustained over the long term, we need to look at whether it induces credible commitments from both donor agencies and recipient governments over the long term. Haley J. Swedlund is Assistant Professor in the Nijmegen School of Management at Radboud University.
“The Development Dance is clearly written, always smart, and a real pleasure to read. Haley J. Swedlund interviewed hundreds of aid officials on both the government and donor sides, and she makes remarkably adept use of the interviews to illustrate aid dynamics.” —Nicolas van de Walle, coeditor of Democratic Trajectories in Africa “Interesting, important, and well-conceived, The Development Dance explains why donors select the aid modalities and delivery mechanisms that they do, and why they so frequently and readily drop one and take up another.” —Jonathan Fisher, coauthor of Africa’s New Authoritarians

Humanitarian Hypocrisy Civilian Protection and the Design of Peace Operations Andrea L . Everet t
In Humanitarian Hypocrisy, Andrea L. Everett maps the often glaring differences between declared ambitions to protect civilians in conflict zones and the resources committed for doing so. Examining how powerful governments contribute to peace operations and determine how they are designed, Everett argues that ambitions-resources gaps are a form of organized hypocrisy. Her book shows how political compromises lead to disparities between the humanitarian principles leaders proclaim and what their policies are designed to accomplish. When those in power face strong pressure to protect civilians but are worried about the high costs and dangers of intervention, Everett asserts, they allocate insufficient resources or impose excessive operational constraints. The ways in which this can play out are illustrated by Everett’s use of original data and indepth case studies of France in Rwanda, the United States in Darfur, and Australia in East Timor and Aceh. Humanitarian Hypocrisy has a sad lesson: missions that gesture toward the protection of civilians but overlook the most pressing security needs of affected populations can worsen suffering even while the entities who doom those missions to failure assume the moral high ground. This is a must-read book for activists, NGO officials, and policymakers alike. Andrea L . Everet t is a Visiting Scholar at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, Stanford University.

Democracy and Displacement in Colombia’s Civil War Abbey Steele
Democracy and Displacement in Colombia’s Civil War is one of few books available in English to provide an overview of the Colombian civil war and drug war. Abbey Steele draws on her own original field research as well as on Colombian scholars’ work in Spanish to provide an expansive view of the country’s political conflicts. Steele shows how political reforms in the context of Colombia’s ongoing civil war produced unexpected, dramatic consequences: democratic elections revealed Colombian citizens’ political loyalties and allowed counterinsurgent armed groups to implement political cleansing against civilians perceived as loyal to insurgents. Combining evidence collected from remote archives, more than two hundred interviews, and quantitative data from the government’s displacement registry, Steele connects Colombia’s political development and the course of its civil war to purposeful displacement. By introducing the concepts of collective targeting and political cleansing, Steele extends what we already know about patterns of ethnic cleansing to cases where expulsion of civilians from their communities is based on nonethnic traits. Abbey Steele is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam.
“Democracy and Displacement in Colombia’s Civil War offers novel and important research on how and why violence is deployed during civil wars.” —Winifred Tate, author of Drugs, Thugs and Diplomats “Democracy and Displacement in Colombia’s Civil War has all of the hallmarks of a classic work on forced migration and Colombian politics.

The French scholar Marc Abélès is one of the leading political and philosophical anthropologists of our time. He is perhaps the leading anthropologist writing on the state and globalization. Thinking beyond the State, a distillation of his work to date, is a superb introduction to his contributions to both anthropology and political philosophy. Abélès observes that while interdependence and interconnection have become characteristic features of our globalized era, there is no indication that a concomitant evolution in thinking about political systems has occurred. The state remains the shield—for both the Right and the Left—against the turbulent effects of globalization. According to Abélès, we live in a geopolitical universe that, in many respects, reproduces alienating logics. His book, therefore, is a primer on how to see beyond the state. It is also a testament to anthropology’s centrality and importance in any analysis of the global human predicament. Thinking beyond the State will find wide application in anthropology, political science and philosophy courses dealing with the state and globalization. Marc Abélès is Full Professor of Anthropology at École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. He is the author of Quiet Days in Burgundy and The Politics of Survival.

“With panache and elegance, Marc Abélès assumes a position of ‘intersectional subjectivity’ to strike a fine balance between ethnographic encounter and theoretical adventure. This book mobilizes a critical political anthropology that makes an important intervention in the shifting scales and states of global power.” —Homi K. Bhabha, Anne F.

Whose Detroit? Politics, Labor, and Race in a Modern American City WITH A NEW PROLOGUE
Heather Ann Thompson
In Whose Detroit?, Heather Ann Thompson focuses in detail on the African American struggles for full equality and equal justice under the law that shaped the Motor City during the 1960s and 1970s. Even after Great Society liberals committed themselves to improving conditions in Detroit, Thompson argues, poverty and police brutality continued to plague both neighborhoods and workplaces. Frustration with entrenched discrimination and the lack of meaningful remedies not only led black residents to erupt in the infamous urban uprising of 1967, but it also sparked myriad grassroots challenges to postwar liberalism in the wake of that rebellion. With deft attention to the historical background and to the dramatic struggles of Detroit’s residents, and with a new prologue that argues for the ways in which the War on Crime and mass incarceration also devastated the Motor City over time, Thompson has written a biography of an entire nation at a time of crisis. Heather Ann Thompson is Professor of History at the University of Michigan. She is the Pulitzer- and Bancroft-winning author of Blood in the Water: The Attica Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Time, The Atlantic, Salon, Dissent, New Labor Forum, and The Huffington Post.
“Thompson’s engrossing book is essential for any collection on the history, politics, or society of post–World War II America.” —Library Journal “Thompson uses Detroit in the 1960s and early 1970s to consider how the battles for civil and workers rights have shaped American cities. There’s plenty here for readers eager to think deeply about our hometown’s challenges.” —Detroit Free Press

Strategic Adjustment and the Rise of China Power and Politics in East Asia Edited by Robert S. Ross and Øystein Tunsjø
Strategic Adjustment and the Rise of China demonstrates how structural and domestic variables influence how East Asian states adjust their strategy in light of the rise of China, including how China manages its own emerging role as a regional great power. The contributors note that the shifting regional balance of power has fueled escalating tensions in East Asia and suggest that adjustment challenges are exacerbated by the politics of policymaking Robert S.

The One Percent Solution How Corporations Are Remaking America One State at a Time Gordon L afer
In the aftermath of the 2010 Citizens United decision, it’s become commonplace to note that politics has become dominated by a small slice of the economic elite. But what exactly are those members of the elite doing with their newfound influence? The One Percent Solution provides, for the first time, an answer to this question. Gordon Lafer’s book is a comprehensive account of the legislation promoted by the nation’s biggest corporate lobbies across all fifty state legislatures, encompassing a wide range of labor and economic policies. In an era of growing economic insecurity, it turns out that one of the prime forces making life harder for American workers is a relentless offensive by the best-funded and most powerful political forces in the country, corporate lobbies who have been empowered by the Supreme Court to influence legislation with an endless supply of cash. They have successfully championed hundreds of new laws that lower wages, eliminate paid sick leave, undo the right to sue over job discrimination, and cut essential public services. Lafer shows how corporate strategies have been shaped by twenty-first-century conditions—including globalization, economic decline, and the populism reflected in both the Trump and Sanders campaigns. Finally, Lafer shows how the corporate legislative agenda has come to endanger the scope of democracy itself. Gordon L afer is Associate Professor at the Labor Education and Research Center at the University of Oregon. He is the author of The Job Training Charade, also from Cornell. He has served as Senior Policy Advisor for the U.S. Congress and has been called to testify as an expert witness before multiple state legislatures.

“In The One Percent Solution, Gordon Lafer exposes the vast conspiracy between corporate special interests and their allies in government to rig the rules of our economy and democracy to favor the wealthy few. Lafer details this systematic gutting of the American Dream with depth and precision, particularly the emergence of state legislatures as a battleground. Anyone who is committed to turning the tide back in favor of working people must first understand what we are up against—and that means reading this book.” —Richard L. Trumka, President, AFL-CIO “In an age of divided government and Congressional gridlock, Gordon Lafer shows that a handful of the nation’s most conservative business lobbying organizations are still able to get some of the public policies that they want—by focusing their efforts on state legislatures. This book reveals the outlines of a coordinated lobbying campaign that could have the effect of increasing economic and political inequality in America.” —Isaac William Martin, author of Rich People’s Movements

Why American Elections Are Flawed (and How to Fix Them) Pippa Norris
It is impossible to fix a problem without understanding its nature. According to expert estimates developed by the Electoral Integrity Project (EIP), an independent project with a research team based at Harvard and Sydney universities and led by Pippa Norris, the 2012 and 2014 elections in the United States were the worst among all Western democracies. Without reform, these problems risk damaging the legitimacy of American elections—further weakening public confidence in the major political parties, Congress, and the US government, depressing voter turnout, and exacerbating the risks of contentious outcomes fought through court appeals and public protests. In Why American Elections Are Flawed (and How to Fix Them), Pippa Norris outlines the core concept and measure of electoral integrity, the key yardstick used by the EIP to evaluate free and fair elections. She compares cross-national and state-level evidence to diagnose problems in American elections and shows how these challenges could be addressed through practical steps designed to improve American electoral procedures and practices. If implemented, the reforms recommended by the EIP will advance free and fair elections at home and abroad. Pippa Norris is the Paul McGuire Lecturer in Comparative Politics at Harvard University, Professor of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney, and founding Director of the Electoral Integrity Project. She is the author of Why Electoral Integrity Matters and Why Elections Fail.

Killing Others A Natural History of Ethnic Violence Mat thew L ange
In Killing Others, Matthew Lange explores why humans ruthlessly attack and kill people from other ethnic communities. Drawing on an array of cases from around the world and insight from a variety of disciplines, Lange provides a simple yet powerful explanation that pinpoints the influential role of modernity in the growing global prevalence of ethnic violence over the past two hundred years. He offers evidence that a modern ethnic mind-set is the ultimate and most influential cause of ethnic violence. Throughout most of human history, people perceived and valued small sets of known acquaintances and did not identify with ethnicities. Through education, state policy, and other means, modernity ultimately created broad ethnic consciousnesses that led to emotional prejudice, whereby people focus negative emotions on entire ethnic categories, and ethnic obligation, which pushes people to attack Others for the sake of their ethnicity. Modern social transformations also provided a variety of organizational resources that put these motives into action. Yet over the past seventy years, the earliest modernizers have transformed from champions of ethnic violence into leaders of intercommunal peace, and Killing Others offers evidence that the emergence of robust rights-based democracy—in combination with effective states and economic development—weakened the motives and resources that commonly promote ethnic violence.
“Killing Others is a bold and powerful book that restates the modernist approach to ethnicity and violence with renewed clarity and rigor.” —Andreas Wimmer, Columbia University, author of Waves of War: Nationalism, State Formation, and Ethnic Exclusion in the Modern World “This theoretically rich, well-illustrated, and engagingly written book is based on sound empirical evidence. It is a must-read for anybody interested in the study of violent conflicts and cultural difference.” —Siniša Malešević, University College Dublin, author of The Sociology of War and Violence

Rebel Power Why National Movements Compete, Fight, and Win Peter Kr ause
Many of the world’s states—from Algeria to Ireland to the United States—are the result of robust national movements that achieved independence. Many other national movements have failed in their attempts to achieve statehood, including the Basques, the Kurds, and the Palestinians. In Rebel Power, Peter Krause offers a powerful new theory to explain this variation focusing on the internal balance of power among nationalist groups. The most powerful groups push to achieve states while they are in position to rule them, whereas weaker groups unlikely to gain the spoils of office are likely to become spoilers, employing risky, escalatory violence to forestall victory while they improve their position in the movement hierarchy. Hegemonic movements with one dominant group are therefore more likely to achieve statehood than internally competitive, fragmented movements due to their greater pursuit of victory and lesser use of counterproductive violence. Krause conducted years of fieldwork in government and nationalist group archives as well as more than 150 interviews with participants in the Palestinian, Zionist, Algerian, and Irish national movements. Krause identifies new turning points in the history of these movements and provides fresh explanations for their use of violent and nonviolent strategies, as well as their numerous successes and failures. Rebel Power is essential reading for understanding not only the history of national movements but also the causes and consequences of contentious collective action today, from the Arab Spring to the civil wars and insurgencies in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond. Peter Kr ause is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Boston College and a Research Affiliate in the MIT Security Studies program. C O R N E L L S T U D I E S I N S E C U R I T Y A F FA I R S

The NGO Game Post-Conflict Peacebuilding in the Balkans and Beyond Patrice C. McMahon
In most post-conflict countries nongovernmental organizations are everywhere, but their presence is misunderstood. In The NGO Game Patrice McMahon investigates the unintended outcomes of what she calls the NGO boom in Bosnia and Kosovo. Using her years of fieldwork and interviews, McMahon argues that when international actors try to rebuild and reconstruct post-conflict countries, they often rely on and look to NGOs. Although policymakers and scholars tend to accept and even celebrate NGO involvement in post-conflict and transitioning countries, they rarely examine why NGOs have become so popular, what NGOs do, or how they affect everyday life. For many in the Balkans and other post-conflict environments, NGOs are not an aid to building a lasting peace but are part of the problem because of the turmoil they foster during their life cycles in a given country. The NGO Game will be useful to practitioners and policymakers interested in improving peacebuilding, the role of NGOs in peace and development, and the sustainability of local initiatives in post-conflict countries.
“The NGO Game is a major contribution to our understanding of post-conflict interventions, democratization, and peacebuilding, as well as the specific cases of Bosnia and Kosovo. Patrice C. McMahon looks beyond what international NGOs and peacebuilding efforts claim to accomplish to get at what is actually happening on the ground.” —V. P. Gagnon, author of The Myth of Ethnic War

The Despot’s Guide to Wealth Management On the International Campaign against Grand Corruption J. C. Sharman
An unprecedented new international moral and legal rule forbids one state from hosting money stolen by the leaders of another state. The aim is to counter grand corruption or kleptocracy (“rule by thieves”), when leaders of poorer countries—such as Marcos in Philippines, Mobutu in the Congo, and more recently those overthrown in revolutions in the Arab world and Ukraine—loot billions of dollars at the expense of their own citizens. This money tends to end up hosted in rich countries. These host states now have a duty to block, trace, freeze, and seize these illicit funds and hand them back to the countries from which they were stolen. In The Despot’s Guide to Wealth Management, J. C. Sharman asks how this anti-kleptocracy regime came about, how well it is working, and how it could work better. Although there have been some real achievements, the international campaign against grand corruption has run into major obstacles. Recovering and returning looted assets is a long, complicated, and expensive process. Sharman used a private investigator, participated in and observed anti-corruption policy, and conducted more than a hundred interviews with key players. He also draws on various journalistic exposés, whistle-blower accounts, and government investigations to inform his comparison of the anti-kleptocracy records of the United States, Britain, Switzerland, and Australia. Sharman calls for better policing, preventative measures, and use of gatekeepers like bankers, lawyers, and real estate agents. He also recommends giving nongovernmental organizations and for-profit firms more scope to independently investigate corruption and seize stolen assets. J. C. Sharman is Sir Patrick Sheehy Professor of International Relations at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of The Money Laundry and Havens in a Storm, both from Cornell, and coauthor most recently of International Order in Diversity.

“The Despot’s Guide to Wealth Management is a very fine piece of work. In this exceptionally accessible book, J. C. Sharman provides a clear-sighted critique of grand corruption control efforts, offers very thoughtful interpretation of a range of legal cases and national practices, and juxtaposes rhetoric and claims in official settings with evidence of practice.” —Michael Levi, author of The Phantom Capitalists “The Despot’s Guide to Wealth Management is a novel take on the conditions that shape nations’ willingness and capacity to, first, enact laws to deter the influx of illicit finance and, second, to take action to prosecute incidences of kleptocracy. The case studies in the book—the United States, the UK, Switzerland, and Australia—are peppered with highly entertaining stories of scandals that have triggered (or not) host country action. This highly teachable book should be welcomed by national-level policymakers and practitioners at major international organizations.” —Catherine Weaver, author of Hypocrisy Trap

The Currency of Confidence How Economic Beliefs Shape the IMF’s Relationship with Its Borrowers Stephen C. Nelson
The IMF is a purposive actor in world politics, primarily driven by a set of homogenous economic ideas, Stephen C. Nelson suggests, and its professional staff emerged from an insular set of American-trained economists. The IMF treats countries differently depending on whether that staff trusts the country’s top officials; that trust in turn depends on the educational credentials of the policy team that Fund officials face across the negotiating table. Intellectual differences thus lead to lasting economic effects for the citizens of countries seeking IMF support. Based on deep archival research in IMF archives and personnel files, Nelson argues that the IMF has been the Johnny Appleseed of neoliberalism: neoliberal policymakers sprout and take root in countries that have spent recent decades living under the Fund’s conditional lending arrangements. Nelson supports his argument through quantitative measures and illustrates the dynamics of relations between the Fund and client countries in a detailed examination of newly available archives of four periods in Argentina’s long and often bitter relations with the IMF. The Currency of Confidence ends with Nelson’s examination of how the IMF emerged from the global financial crisis as an unexpected victor. Stephen C. Nelson is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University. In 2010 he won the American Political Science Award’s Helen Dwight Reid Award for best dissertation in the field of international relations.
“Stephen C. Nelson offers an innovative analysis of the often fraught relationship between the IMF and its borrowers. He systematically shows how social conventions help decision makers cope with uncertainty and stifle dissent. This outstanding book provides much insight into the contentious ideological foundations of a rapidly evolving global economy.” —Louis W. Pauly, FRSC, University of Toronto, author of Who Elected the Bankers? “In The Currency of Confidence, Stephen C. Nelson uses a combination of quantitative analysis and case studies to define the extent to which the IMF’s economic beliefs influence its lending decisions. Nelson’s pathbreaking analytics and accessible writing style will appeal to economists, political scientists, and policymakers alike.” —Kevin P. Gallagher, Boston University, author of Ruling Capital: Emerging Markets and the Reregulation of Cross-Border Finance

Shaken Authority China’s Communist Party and the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake Christian P. Sor ace
In Shaken Authority, Christian P. Sorace examines the political mechanisms at work in the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and the broader ideological energies that drove them. Sorace takes Communist Party ideas and discourse as central to how that organization formulates policies, defines legitimacy, and exerts its power. Sorace argues that the Communist Party has never abandoned its conviction that discourse can shape the world and the people who inhabit it. Sorace also demonstrates how the Communist Party’s planning apparatus continues to play a crucial role in engineering China’s economy and market construction, especially in the countryside. Sorace takes a distinctive and original interpretive approach to understanding Chinese politics, and Shaken Authority demonstrates how Communist Party discourse and ideology influenced the official decisions and responses to the Sichuan earthquake. Christian P. Sor ace is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Australian National University’s Centre on China in the World.
