Small Arms Children and Terrorism Mia Bloom with John Horgan

Why terror groups recruit children

Why do terrorist organizations use children to support their cause and carry out their activities? Small Arms uncovers the brutal truth behind the mobilization of children by terrorist groups. Mia Bloom and John Horgan show us the grim underbelly of society that allows and even encourages the use of children to conduct terrorist activities. They provide readers with the who, what, when, why, and how of this increasingly concerning situation, illuminating a phenomenon that to most of us seems abhorrent. And yet, they argue, for terrorist groups the use of children carries many benefits. Children possess skills that adults lack. They often bring innovation and creativity. Children are, in fact, a superb demographic from which to recruit if you are a terrorist. Small Arms answers questions about recruitment strategies and tactics, determines what makes a child terrorist and what makes him or her different from an adult one, and charts the ways in which organizations use them. The unconventional focus on child and youth militants allows the authors to, in essence, give us a biography of the child terrorist and the organizations that use them. We are taken inside the mind of the adult and the child to witness that which perhaps most scares us. Mia Bloom is Professor of Communication at Georgia State University. She is author of several books, including, most recently, Bombshell. John G. Horgan is Distinguished University Professor in the Global Studies Institute at Georgia State University. He is author of numerous books, including, most recently, The Psychology of Terrorism.

“Small Arms is a timely book on a critical and long-neglected subject. Mia Bloom and John Horgan’s multidisciplinary approach, comprehensive research, and impressive field work paint a compelling picture of the indoctrination and exploitation of children by terrorists worldwide and sheds new light on this odious and, sadly, increasingly prevalent phenomenon.” —Bruce Hoffman, Georgetown University, author of Inside Terrorism “Mia Bloom and John Horgan, among the world’s foremost scholars of terrorism, address the horrific terrorist practice of training children to murder adults. They examine the pressing question of how states can reintegrate these children, if and when they return from the battlefield. Highly recommended for anyone interested in how terrorism and terrorists evolve.” —Jessica Stern, Boston University, author of Terror in the Name of God

Enduring Alliance A History of NATO and the Postwar Global Order Timothy Andrews Sayle

Born from necessity, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has always seemed on the verge of collapse. Even now, some sixty years after its inception, some consider its foundation uncertain and its structure weak. At this moment of incipient strategic crisis, Timothy A. Sayle offers a sweeping history of the most critical alliance in the post-World War II era. In Enduring Alliance, Sayle recounts how the western European powers, along with the United States and Canada, developed a treaty to prevent encroachments by the Soviet Union and to serve as a first defense in any future military conflict. As the growing and unruly hodgepodge of countries, councils, commands, and committees inflated NATO during the Cold War, Sayle shows that the work of executive leaders, high-level diplomats, and institutional functionaries within NATO kept the alliance alive and strong in the face of changing administrations, various crises, and the flux of geopolitical maneuverings. Resilience and flexibility have been the true hallmarks of NATO. As Enduring Alliance deftly shows, the history of NATO is organized around the balance of power, preponderant military forces, and plans for nuclear war. But it is also the history riven by generational change, the introduction of new approaches to conceiving international affairs, and the difficulty of diplomacy for democracies. As NATO celebrates its seventieth anniversary, the alliance once again faces challenges to its very existence even as it maintains its place firmly at the center of western hemisphere and global affairs. Timothy A. Sayle is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Toronto and a fellow of the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History and the Southern Methodist University’s Center for Presidential History.

“The logic, history, and analysis of Enduring Alliance are impeccable, and Timothy Andrews Sayle’s account is particularly useful at this moment when the Atlantic partnership is on unsteady ground. A must-read for policymakers seeking to ensure the Pax Atlantic is the indispensable and truly enduring alliance of our times.” —Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret), Supreme Allied Commander at NATO, 2009-2013, author of The Accidental Admiral “Enduring Alliance is a deeply researched and engaging account of the complicated and consequential history of the United States and NATO. Sayle offers new insights, exposes various myths, and explores the complexities and challenges of this unique, oft-troubled, but resilient alliance. Must-read for scholars of history, security studies, and institutions, as well as anyone concerned about the state of NATO today.” —Francis J. Gavin, author of Nuclear Statecraft

Arc of Containment Britain, the United States, and Anticommunism in Southeast Asia Wen-Qing Ngoei

Arc of Containment recasts the history of American empire in Southeast and East Asia from World War II through the end of American intervention in Vietnam. Setting aside the classic story of anxiety about falling dominoes, Wen-Qing Ngoei articulates a new regional history premised on strong security and sure containment guaranteed by Anglo-American cooperation. Ngoei argues that anticommunist nationalism in Southeast Asia intersected with preexisting local antipathy toward China and the Chinese diaspora to usher the region from European-dominated colonialism to US hegemony. Central to this revisionary strategic assessment is the place of British power and the effects of direct neocolonial military might and less overt cultural influences based in decades of colonial rule. Also essential to the analysis in Arc of Containment is the considerable influence of Southeast Asian actors upon Anglo-American imperial strategy throughout the post-war period. In Arc of Containment Ngoei shows how the pro-US trajectory of Southeast Asia after the Pacific War was, in fact, far more characteristic of the wider region’s history than American policy failure in Vietnam. Indeed, by the early 1970s, five key anticommunist nations—Malaya, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia—had quashed Chinese-influenced socialist movements at home and established, with U.S. support, a geostrategic arc of states that contained the Vietnamese revolution and encircled China. In the process, the Euro-American colonial order of Southeast Asia passed from an era of Anglo-American predominance into a condition of US hegemony. Arc of Containment demonstrates that American failure in Vietnam had less long-term consequences than widely believed because British pro-West nationalism had been firmly entrenched twenty-plus years earlier. In effect, Ngoei argues, the Cold War in Southeast Asia was but one violent chapter in the continuous history of western imperialism in the region in the twentieth century.

“Arc of Containment is a genuine pleasure to read. Wen-Qing Ngoei deftly places the history of the Vietnam war in a larger regional perspective. He is able to show— very convincingly—that Vietnam was something of an anomaly.” —Mark Atwood Lawrence, University of Texas, Austin, author of Assuming the Burden “Wen-Qing Ngoei makes a persuasive case for the deeply connected colonial and post-colonial trajectories of Malaysia and Singapore’s neighbors. Ngoei’s book belongs in classes on US and British foreign relations, Southeast Asian politics and history, and should be read by every scholar in these fields.” —Bradley Simpson, University of Connecticut, author of Economists with Guns

Wen-Qing Ngoei is Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University. His work has been published in Diplomatic History and the Journal of American-East Asian Relations.

Statecraft by Stealth Secret Intelligence and British Rule in Palestine Steven B. Wagner

Britain relied upon secret intelligence operations to rule Mandatory Palestine. Statecraft by Stealth sheds light on a time in history when the murky triad of intelligence, policy, and security supported colonial governance. It emphasizes the role of the Anglo-Zionist partnership, which began during World War I and ended in 1939, when Britain imposed severe limits on Jewish immigration and settlement in Palestine. Steven Wagner argues that although the British devoted considerable attention to intelligence gathering and analysis, they never managed to solve the basic contradiction of their rule: a dual commitment to democratic self-government and to the Jewish national home through immigration and settlement. As he deftly shows, Britain’s experiment in Palestine shed all pretense of civic order during the Palestinian revolt of 1936–41, when the police authority collapsed and was replaced by a security state, created by army staff intelligence. That shift, Wagner concludes, was rooted in Britain’s desire to foster closer ties with Saudi Arabia just before the start of World War II, and thus ended its support of Zionist policy. Statecraft by Stealth takes us behind the scenes of British rule, illuminating the success of the Zionist movement and the failure of the Palestinians to achieve independence. Wagner focuses on four key issues to stake his claim: an examination of the “intelligence state” (per Martin Thomas’s classic, Empires of Intelligence), the Arab revolt, the role of the Mufti of Jerusalem, and the origins and consequences of Britain’s decision to end its support of Zionism. Wagner crafts a superb story of espionage and clandestine policy-making, showing how the British pitted individual communities against each other at particular times, and why.

Voices from the Soviet Edge Southern Migrants in Leningrad and Moscow Jeff Sahadeo

Jeff Sahadeo reveals the complex and fascinating stories of migrant populations in Leningrad and Moscow. Voices from the Soviet Edge focuses on the hundreds of thousands of Uzbeks, Tajiks, Georgians, Azerbaijanis, and others who arrived toward the end of the Soviet era, seeking opportunity at the privileged heart of the USSR. Through the extensive oral histories Sahadeo has collected, he shows how the energy of these migrants, denigrated as “Blacks” by some Russians, transformed their families’ lives and created inter-republican networks, altering society and community in both the center and the periphery of life in the “two capitals.” Voices from the Soviet Edge connects Leningrad and Moscow to transnational trends of core-periphery movement and marks them as global cities. In examining Soviet concepts such as “friendship of peoples” alongside ethnic and national differences, Sahadeo shows how those ideas became racialized but could also be deployed to advance migrant aspirations. He exposes the Brezhnev era as a time of dynamism and opportunity, and Leningrad and Moscow not as isolated outposts of privilege but at the heart of any number of systems that linked the disparate regions of the USSR into a whole. In the 1980s, as the Soviet Union crumbled, migration increased. These later migrants were the forbears of contemporary Muslims from former Soviet spaces who now confront significant discrimination in European Russia. As Sahadeo demonstrates, the two cities benefited from 1980s’ migration but also became communities where racism and exclusion coexisted with citizenship and Soviet identity.

“Voices from the Soviet Edge is an excellent book by an acknowledged expert on internal migration to Moscow and Leningrad. The use of oral interviews, with archival and published materials, makes Jeff Sahadeo’s book a welcome example of how to do historical work on the late Soviet period.” —Anne Gorsuch, University of British Columbia, author of All This is Your World “In this story of people on the move, Jeff Sahadeo puts people from the Soviet peripheries center stage and reveals the multinational Soviet Union in completely new light. He highlights the significance of the Soviet experience for discussions of postcolonialism, migration, and race relations.” —Adeeb Khalid, Carleton College, author of award-winning Making Uzbekistan

Jeff Sahadeo is Associate Professor at the Institute of European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at Carleton University. He is author of Russian Colonial Society in Tashkent, 1865–1923 and co-editor of Everyday Life in Central Asia.

Empire and Belonging in the Eurasian Borderlands edited by Krista A. Goff and Lewis H. Siegelbaum

Empire and Belonging in the Eurasian Borderlands engages with the evolving historiography around the concept of belonging in the Russian and Ottoman empires. The contributors to this book argue that the popular notion that empires do not care about belonging is simplistic and wrong. Chapters address numerous and varied dimensions of belonging in multiethnic territories of the Ottoman Empire, Imperial Russia, and the Soviet Union, from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries. They illustrate both the mutability and the durability of imperial belonging in Eurasian borderlands. Contributors to this volume pay attention to state authorities but also to the voices and experiences of teachers, linguists, humanitarian officials, refugees, deportees, soldiers, nomads, and those left behind. Through those voices the authors interrogate the mutual shaping of empire and nation, noting the persistence and frequency of coercive measures that imposed belonging or denied it to specific populations deemed inconvenient or incapable of fitting in. The collective conclusion that editors Krista A. Goff and Lewis H. Siegelbaum provide is that nations must take ownership of their behaviors, irrespective of whether they emerged from disintegrating empires or enjoyed autonomy and power within them. Krista A. Goff is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Miami. Lewis H. Siegelbaum is the Jack & Margaret Sweet Emeritus Professor in History at Michigan State University.

It’s certain to appeal to specialists in the history of nationality and empire as well as readers in the Russian field.” —Willard Sunderland, University of Cincinnati, author of the awardwinning The Baron’s Cloak

The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere When Total Empire Met Total War Jeremy A. Yellen

In The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, Jeremy Yellen exposes the history, politics, and intrigue that characterized the era when Japan’s “total empire” met the total war of World War II. He illuminates the ways in which the imperial center and its individual colonies understood the concept of the Sphere, offering two sometimes competing, sometimes complementary, and always intertwined visions—one from Japan, the other from Burma and the Philippines. Yellen argues that, from 1940 to 1945, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere epitomized two concurrent wars for Asia’s future: the first was for a new type of empire in Asia, and the second was a political war, waged by nationalist elites in the colonial capitals of Rangoon and Manila. Exploring Japanese visions for international order in the face of an ever-changing geopolitical situation, The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere explores wartime Japan’s desire to shape and control its imperial future while its colonies attempted to do the same. At Japan’s zenith as an imperial power, the Sphere represented a plan for regional domination; by the end of the war, it had been recast as the epitome of cooperative internationalism. In the end, the Sphere could not survive wartime defeat, and Yellen’s lucidly written account reveals much about the desires of Japan as an imperial and colonial power, as well as the ways in which the subdued colonies in Burma and the Philippines jockeyed for agency and a say in the future of the region. Jeremy A. Yellen is Assistant Professor in the Department of Japanese Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

“A fascinating new study of Japanese decision-making during the Pacific War. Based on research in archives from seven countries and print media in five capitals, it gives ample voice to Japanese subject peoples, offering a powerful corrective to the standard dismissal of colonial leaders as mere ‘collaborators.” —Frederick R. Dickinson, author of World War I and the Triumph of a New Japan, 1919-1930 “The research foundation of this book is splendid. Yellen’s familiarity of very recent work, especially by Japanese scholars, is impressive. His work in primary archives is deep and broad.” —Michael A. Barnhart, author of Japan and the World since 1868 There is no comparable study in the English language. Yellen’s readable approach makes this book an excellent teaching tool for courses on the Pacific War. It will also appeal to general readers interested in learning more about Japan’s challenge to the Western Powers.” —E. Bruce Reynolds, editor of Japan in the Fascist Era

To Shape Our World for Good Master Narratives and Regime Change in U.S. Foreign Policy, 1900–2011 C. William Walldorf, Jr.

Why does the United States pursue robust military invasions to change some foreign regimes but not others? Conventional accounts focus on geopolitics or elite ideology. C. William Walldorf, Jr., argues that the politics surrounding two broad, public narratives—the liberal narrative and the restraint narrative—often play a vital role in shaping US decisions whether to pursue robust and forceful regime change. Using current sociological work on cultural trauma, Walldorf explains how master narratives strengthen (and weaken), and he develops clear predictions for how and when these narratives will shape policy. To Shape Our World For Good demonstrates the importance and explanatory power of the master-narrative argument, using a sophisticated combination of methods: quantitative analysis and eight cases in the postwar period that include Korea, Vietnam, and El Salvador during the Cold War and more recent cases in Iraq and Libya. The case studies provide the environment for a critical assessment of the connections among the politics of master narratives, pluralism, and the common good in contemporary US foreign policy and grand strategy. Walldorf adds new insight to our understanding of US expansionism and cautions against the dangers of misusing popular narratives for short-term political gains—a practice all too common both past and present. C. William Walldorf, Jr. is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and International Affairs at Wake Forest University. He is author of the award-winning Just Politics and co-editor of the Oxford Companion to American Politics.

“To Shape Our World For Good is an excellent book. It is theoretically innovative, extensively researched, and policy relevant. Both students and practitioners of international politics would benefit from reading it.” —Mark Haas, Duquesne University, author of The Clash of Ideologies “In To Shape Our World for Good, William Walldorf argues persuasively that US foreign policy is driven not just by the balance of power or geography, but by master narratives. Ascendant liberalism, he seeks to show, has underpinned US efforts at regime change. Deploying a broad range of methods—qualitative content analysis, statistical data, and historical case studies—Walldorf adds to a growing body of scholarly literature revealing the cultural and discursive underpinnings of US foreign policy.” —KrebsRon, University of Minnesota, author of Narrative and the Making of US National Security

The Credibility Challenge How Democracy Aid Influences Election Violence Inken von Borzyskowski

The key to the impact of international election support is credibility; credible elections are less likely to turn violent. So argues Inken von Borzyskowski in The Credibility Challenge, in which she provides an explanation of why and when election support can increase or reduce violence. Von Borzyskowski answers four major questions: Under what circumstances can election support influence election violence? How can election support shape the incentives of domestic actors to engage in or abstain from violence? Does support help reduce violence or increase it? And, which type of support—observation or technical assistance—is better in each instance? The Credibility Challenge pulls broad quantitative evidence and qualitative observations from Guyana, Liberia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, and Bangladesh to respond to these questions. Von Borzyskowski finds that international democracy aid matters for election credibility and violence; outside observers can exacerbate postelection violence if they cast doubt on election credibility; and technical assistance helps build electoral institutions, improves election credibility, and reduces violence. Her results advance research and policy on peacebuilding and democracy promotion in new and surprising ways. Inken von Borzyskowski is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Florida State University. Her research has appeared in International Studies Quarterly, British Journal of Political Science, and Review of International Organizations.

“Inken von Borzyskowski’s The Credibility Challenge is thought-provoking and sure to stir debate about the appropriate role of international actors in their longstanding efforts to promote democracy around the world.” —Susan Hyde, University of California, Berkeley “Many elections in Africa and Asia are marred by outbreaks of violence, leading to instability and bloodshed. What triggers conflict? This thought-provoking new book suggests that technical election assistance by the international community strengthens public confidence in the electoral authorities, generates credible outcomes, and thereby dampens violence. An invaluable and original contribution for scholars and practitioners interested in international development, civil wars, democracy and elections.” —Pippa Norris, Harvard University

The Costs of Conversation Obstacles to Peace Talks in Wartime Oriana Skyl ar Mastro

After a war breaks out, what factors influence the warring parties’ decisions about whether to talk to their enemy, and when may their position on wartime diplomacy change? How do we get from only fighting to also talking? In The Costs of Conversation, Oriana Skylar Mastro argues that states are primarily concerned with the strategic costs of conversation, and these costs need to be low before combatants are willing to engage in direct talks with their enemy. Specifically, Mastro writes, leaders look to two factors when determining the probable strategic costs of demonstrating a willingness to talk: the likelihood the enemy will interpret openness to diplomacy as a sign of weakness, and how the enemy may change its strategy in response to such an interpretation. Only if a state thinks it has demonstrated adequate strength and resiliency to avoid the inference of weakness, and believes that its enemy has limited capacity to escalate or intensify the war, will it be open to talking with the enemy. Through four primary case studies—North Vietnamese diplomatic decisions during the Vietnam War, those of China in the Korean War and Sino-Indian War, and Indian diplomatic decision making in the latter conflict—The Costs of Conversation demonstrates that the costly conversations thesis best explains the timing and nature of countries’ approach to wartime talks, and therefore when peace talks begin. As a result, Mastro’s findings have significant theoretical and practical implications for war duration and termination, as well as for military strategy, diplomacy, and mediation.

“Oriana Skylar Mastro forwards a new theory of when states agree to negotiate peace. She demonstrates the power of that theory through painstaking research on several conflicts in Asia. This impressive book thereby makes contributions to international relations theory, Asian studies, and diplomatic history.” —Thomas J. Christensen, Columbia University “Oriana Skylar Mastro’s The Costs of Conversation is an important new contribution towards our understanding of wartime diplomacy and war termination. The book is one of the first attempts to unpack the strategic dimensions of a belligerent’s decision whether or not to engage in wartime diplomatic talks. An important read for students, scholars, and policy-makers.” —Dan Reiter, Emory University, author of How Wars End

Proxy Wars Suppressing Violence through Local Agents edited by Eli Berman and David A. L ake

The most common image of world politics involves states negotiating, cooperating, or sometimes fighting with one another; billiard balls in motion on a global pool table. Yet working through local proxies or agents, through what Eli Berman and David A. Lake call a strategy of “indirect control,” has always been a central tool of foreign policy. Understanding how countries motivate local allies to act in sometimes costly ways, and when and how that strategy succeeds, is essential to effective foreign policy in today’s world. In this splendid collection, Berman and Lake apply a variant of principal-agent theory in which the alignment of interests or objectives between a powerful state and a local proxy is central. Through analysis of nine detailed cases, Proxy Wars finds that: when principals use rewards and punishments tailored to the agent’s domestic politics, proxies typically comply with their wishes; when the threat to the principal or the costs to the agent increase, the principal responds with higher-powered incentives and the proxy responds with greater effort; if interests diverge too much, the principal must either take direct action or admit that indirect control is unworkable. Covering events from Denmark under the Nazis to the Korean War to contemporary Afghanistan, and much in between, the chapters in Proxy Wars engage many disciplines and will suit classes taught in political science, economics, international relations, security studies, and much more.

“Proxy Wars represents a cohesive and ambitious attempt to demonstrate the value of a principal-agent framework for understanding the dynamics of foreign intervention, including why these efforts often fail to achieve desired outcomes. —SJason Lyall, Yale University “Not only does Proxy Wars address an issue of contemporary policy relevance, the individual case studies are tightly integrated with the theory, making it the definitive work on the use of proxies in warfare.” —Walter Ladwig III, King’s College London, and author of The Forgotten Front

Poppies, Politics, and Power Afghanistan and the Global History of Drugs and Diplomacy James Tharin Br adford

Historians have long neglected Afghanistan’s broader history when portraying the opium industry. But in Poppies, Politics, and Power, James Tharin Bradford rebalances the discourse, showing that it is not the past forty years of lawlessness that makes the opium industry what it is, but the sheer breadth of the twentieth-century Afghanistan experience. Rather than byproducts of a failed contemporary system, argues Bradford, drugs, especially opium, were critical components in the formation and failure of the Afghan state. In this history of drugs and drug control in Afghanistan, Bradford shows us how the country moved from licit supply of the global opium trade to one of the major suppliers of hashish and opium through changes in drug control policy shaped largely by the outside force of the United States. Poppies, Politics, and Power breaks the conventional modes of national histories that fail to fully encapsulate the global nature of the drug trade. By providing a global history of opium within the borders of Afghanistan, Bradford demonstrates that the country’s drug trade and the government’s position on that trade were shaped by the global illegal market and international efforts to suppress it. By weaving together this global history of the drug trade and drug policy with the formation of the Afghan state and issues within Afghan political culture, Bradford completely recasts the current Afghan, and global, drug trade. James Tharin Br adford is Assistant Professor of History at Berklee College of Music, and Adjunct Lecturer at Babson College. He has published in the Journal of Iranian Studies, Oxford University Handbook of Drug History, and Illegal Cannabis Cultivation in the World.

Rethinking Diabetes Entanglements with Trauma, Poverty, and HIV Emily Mendenhall foreword by Mark Nichter

In Rethinking Diabetes, Emily Mendenhall investigates how global and local factors transform how diabetes is perceived, experienced, and embodied from place to place. Mendenhall argues that the link between sugar and diabetes overshadows the ways in which underlying biological processes linking hunger, oppression, trauma, unbridled stress, and chronic mental distress produce diabetes. The life history narratives in the book show how deeply embedded these factors are in the ways diabetes is experienced and (re)produced among poor communities around the world. Rethinking Diabetes focuses on the stories of women living with diabetes near or below the poverty line in urban settings in the United States, India, South Africa, and Kenya. Mendenhall shows how women’s experiences of living with diabetes cannot be dissociated from their social responsibilities of caregiving, demanding family roles, expectations, and gendered experiences of violence that often displace their ability to care for themselves first. These case studies reveal the ways in which a global story of diabetes overlooks the unique social, political, and cultural factors that produce syndemic diabetes differently across contexts. From the case studies, Rethinking Diabetes clearly provides some important parallels for scholars to consider: significant social and economic inequalities, health systems that are a mix of public and private (with substandard provisions for low-income patients), and rising diabetes incidence and prevalence. At the same time, Mendenhall asks us to unpack how social, cultural, and epidemiological factors shape people’s experiences and why we need to take these differences seriously when we think about what drives diabetes and how it affects the lives of the poor.

“Emily Mendenhall’s rich case studies—introducing each chapter in Rethinking Diabetes—offer forceful illustrations of the interplay of social and biological worlds.” —The University of the Witwatersrand, author of Surface Tensions “Emily Mendenhall critically explores how global health is confronting the rising prevalence of diabetes in the face of poverty, crippled health care systems, and HIV/AIDS. Her approach transcends epidemiological associations and paves the way for consideration of similar entanglements of disease, poverty, and local experience.’” —Janet McGrathn, Case Western Reserve University

Mercenaries and Missionaries Capitalism and Catholicism in the Global South Br andon Vaidyanathan

Mercenaries and Missionaries examines the relationship between rapidly diffusing forms of capitalism and Christianity in the Global South. Using more than two hundred interviews in Bangalore and Dubai, Brandon Vaidyanathan explains how and why global corporate professionals straddle conflicting moral orientations in the realms of work and religion. Seeking to place the spotlight on the role of religion in debates about the cultural consequences of capitalism, Vaidyanathan finds that an “apprehensive individualism” generated in global corporate workplaces is supported and sustained by a “therapeutic individualism” cultivated in evangelical-charismatic Catholicism. Mercenaries and Missionaries uncovers a symbiotic relationship between these individualisms and shows how this relationship unfolds in two global cities—Dubai, in non-democratic UAE, which holds what is considered the world’s largest Catholic parish, and Bangalore, in democratic India, where the Catholic Church, though afflicted by ethnic and religious violence, runs many of the city’s elite educational institutions. Vaidyanathan concludes that global corporations and religious communities create distinctive cultures, with normative models that powerfully orient people to those cultures—the Mercenary in cutthroat workplaces, and the Missionary in churches. As a result, global corporate professionals in rapidly developing cities negotiate starkly opposing moral commitments in the realms of work and religion, which in turn shapes their civic commitment to these cities. Br andon Vaidyanathan is Associate Professor and Department Chair of Sociology at the Catholic University of America.

“Mercenaries and Missionaries gives an empathetic hearing to the way professionals understand their religious and professional lives, and balances deep knowledge of specific cases with themes of bigger import. This book deserves our attention.” —Allison Youatt Schnable, Assistant Professor, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, Bloomington “Brandon Vaidyanathan manages to contribute in significant ways to the broad areas of globalization and religion, guest-worker transnational migration, the sociology and anthropology of global charismatic Christianity, and [this book] should be used in college courses.” —José Casanova, Georgetown University, author of Jesuits and Globalization

From Migrant to Worker Global Unions and Temporary Labor Migration in Asia Michele Ford

What happens when local unions begin to advocate for the rights of temporary migrant workers, asks Michele Ford in her sweeping study of seven Asian countries? Until recently unions in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand were uniformly hostile towards foreign workers, but Ford deftly shows how times and attitudes have begun to change. Now, she argues, NGOs and the Global Union Federations are encouraging local unions to represent and advocate for these peripheral workers, and in some cases succeeding. From Migrant to Worker builds our understanding of the role the international labor movement and local unions have had in developing a movement for migrant workers’ labor rights. Ford examines the relationship between different kinds of labor movement actors and the constraints imposed on those actors by resource flows, contingency, and local context. Her conclusions show that in countries—Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Thailand— where resource flows and local factors give the Global Union Federations more influence local unions have become much more engaged with migrant workers. But in countries—Japan and Taiwan, for example—where they have little effect there has been little progress. While much has changed, Ford forces us to see that labor migration in Asia is still fraught with complications and hardships, and that local unions are not always able or willing to act. Michele Ford is Professor of Southeast Asian Studies and Director of the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre at the University of Sydney. She is the author of Workers and Intellectuals.

“From Migrant to Worker is a great contribution towards understanding migrant worker activism more broadly.” —Robyn Rodriguez, University of California, Davis, author of Migrants for Export “Michele Ford tells us how trade unions have reacted towards migrant workers in seven major labour importing countries in South and East Asia: did they protect them as workers and include them in their rank and file? The diversity of - often unexpected - outcomes in the seven cases becomes understandable through her thorough analysis of the interaction between explaining variables, such as immigration and labour relations regimes, political opportunity structures, the strength of trade unions, of NGO’s and of the migrants themselves. Such a comprehensive exercise has not been done yet for this region.” —Marinus Penninx, author of Trade Unions and Migrant Workers

The Politics of Social Inclusion and Labor Representation Immigrants and Trade Unions in the European Context Heather Connolly, Stefania Marino, and Miguel Martínez Lucio foreword by Richard Hyman

In The Politics of Social Inclusion and Labor Representation, Heather Connolly, Stefania Marino, and Miguel Martínez Lucio compare trade union responses to immigration and the related political and labour market developments in the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The labor movement is facing significant challenges as a result of such changes in the modern context. As such, the authors closely examine the idea of social inclusion and how trade unions are coping with and adapting to the need to support immigrant workers and develop various types of engagement and solidarity strategies in the European context. Traversing the dramatically shifting immigration patterns since the 1970s, during which emerged a major crisis of capitalism, the labor market, and society, and the contingent rise of anti-immigration sentiment and new forms of xenophobia, the authors assess and map how trade unions have to varying degrees understood and framed these issues and immigrant labor. They show how institutional traditions, and the ways that trade unions historically react to social inclusion and equality, have played a part in shaping the nature of current initiatives. The Politics of Social Inclusion and Labor Representation concludes that we need to appreciate the complexity of trade-union traditions, established paths to renewal, and competing trajectories of solidarity. While trade union organizations remain wedded to specific trajectories, trade union renewal remains an innovative, if at times, problematic and complex set of choices and aspirations. Heather Connolly is Associate Professor of Employment Relations at the University of Leicester. Stefania Marino is Senior Lecturer in Employment Studies at the University of Manchester. Miguel Martínez is Professor of International HRM & Comparative Industrial Relations at the University of Manchester.

“The Politics of Social Inclusion and Labour Representation provides a unique, path breaking analysis, and is destined to become a classic. It will be difficult to provide enduring transnational analyses of labour and trade union responses to migration in future research without using this book as a key reference point.” —Paul Stewart, Senior Research Professor Sociology of Work and Employment, GEM, Grenoble ComUE Universite de Rhone-Alps “The relationship between immigration and labor movements is less straightforward historically and cross-nationally than many assume, and captures an enduring dilemma for labor leaders. At a moment when nationalist leaders are targeting migrants and refugees in the US and across Europe, Connolly, Marino and Martínez Lucio’s excellent book helps us make sense of the story.” —Janice Fine, Rutgers University

The New Politics of Transnational Labor Why Some Alliances Succeed Marissa Brookes

Over the years many transnational labor alliances have succeeded in improving conditions for workers, but many more have not. In The New Politics of Transnational Labor, Marissa Brookes explains why this dichotomy has occurred. Using the coordination and context-appropriate (CCAP) theory, she assesses this divergence, arguing that the success of transnational alliances hinges not only on effective coordination across borders and within workers’ local organizations but also on their ability to exploit vulnerabilities in global value chains, invoke national and international institutions, and mobilize networks of stakeholders in ways that threaten employers’ core, material interests. Brookes uses six comparative case studies spanning four industries, five countries, and fifteen years. From dockside labor disputes in Britain and Australia to service sector campaigns in the supermarket and private security industries to campaigns aimed at luxury hotels in Southeast Asia, Brookes creates her new theoretical framework and speaks to debates in international and comparative political economy on the politics of economic globalization, the viability of private governance, and the impact of organized labor on economic inequality. From this assessment, Brookes provides a vital update to the international relations literature on non-state actors and transnational activism and shows how we can understand the unique capacities labor has as a transnational actor. Marissa Brookes is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Riverside.

“Marissa Brookes’ masterful book sheds new light on why some transnational labor alliances succeed and others fail. This book is riveting and an excellent example of how comparative case study research can yield new theoretical insights.” —Teri L. Caraway, University of Minnesota, coeditor of Working through the Past “The New Politics of Transnational Labor is a clear, elegant, well-designed study that tackles important questions of theoretical and practical significance in a creative manner. It will make a strong impression on scholarly and non-specialist audiences alike.” —Rudra Sil, University of Pennsylvania, coeditor of The Politics of Labor in a Global Age

Statebuilding by Imposition Resistance and Control in Colonial Taiwan and the Philippines Reo Matsuzaki

How do modern states emerge from the turmoil of undergoverned spaces? This is the question Reo Matsuzaki ponders in Statebuilding by Imposition. Comparing Taiwan and the Philippines under the colonial rule of Japan and the United States, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he shows similar situations produce different outcomes and yet lead us to one conclusion. Contemporary statebuilding efforts by the US and the UN start from the premise that strong states can and should be constructed through the establishment of representative government institutions, a liberalized economy, and laws that protect private property and advance personal liberties. But when statebuilding runs into widespread popular resistance, as it did in both Taiwan the Philippines, statebuilding success depends on reconfiguring the very fabric of society, embracing local elites rather than the broad population, and giving elites the power to discipline the people. In Taiwan under Japanese rule, local elites behaved as obedient and effective intermediaries and contributed to government authority; in the Philippines under US rule, they became the very cause of the state’s weakness by aggrandizing wealth, corrupting the bureaucracy, and obstructing policy enforcement. As Statebuilding by Imposition details, Taiwanese and Filipino history teaches us that the imposition of democracy is no guarantee of success when forming a new state and that illiberal actions may actually be more effective. Matsuzaki’s controversial political history forces us to question whether statebuilding, given what it would take for this to result in the construction of a strong state, is the best way to address undergoverned spaces in the world today. Reo Matsuzaki is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Trinity College.

“Statebuilding by Imposition is full of provocative arguments about the inability of democracies to build effective states. Reo Matsuzaki’s candor about the mismatch between liberal values and the nature of statebuilding by imposition is admirable.” —ATuong Vu, Professor of Political Science, University of Oregon, author of Vietnam’s Communist Revolution “Crystalline logic, simple organization, detailed evidence, and profound conclusions make Statebuilding by Imposition an essential reading for those who recommend outside intervention to build the state institutions and economies of others.” — S.C.M.

Sovereignty Experiments Korean Migrants and the Building of Borders in Northeast Asia, 1860–1945 Alyssa M. Park

Sovereignty Experiments tells the story of how authorities in Korea, Russia, China, and Japan—through diplomatic negotiations, border regulations, legal categorization of subjects and aliens, and cultural policies—competed to control Korean migrants as they suddenly moved abroad by the thousands in the late nineteenth century. Alyssa M. Park argues that Korean migrants were essential to the process of establishing sovereignty across four states because they tested the limits of state power over territory and people in a borderland where authority had been long asserted but not necessarily enforced. Traveling from place to place, Koreans compelled statesmen to take notice of their movement and to experiment with various policies to govern it. Ultimately, states’ efforts culminated in drastic measures, including the complete removal of Koreans on the Soviet side. As Park demonstrates, what resulted was the stark border regime that still stands between North Korea, Russia, and China today. Skillfully employing a rich base of archival sources from across the region, Sovereignty Experiments sets forth a new approach to the transnational history of Northeast Asia. By focusing on mobility and governance, Park illuminates why this critical intersection of Asia was contested, divided, and later reimagined as parts of distinct nations and empires. The result is a fresh interpretation of migration, identity, and state making at the crossroads of East Asia and Russia. Alyssa M. Park is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Iowa.

“Sovereignty Experiments is a terrific piece of transnational, multilingual research. With rich stories of smugglers, bandits, spies, and political intrigue, Park shows how a seemingly remote spot at the margins of Chinese, Russian, and Korean territory illuminates fundamental questions for any historian of early twentieth century global history. A riveting and entertaining read.” —Andre Schmid, University of Toronto, author of Korea Between Empires “Alyssa Park paints a detailed picture of Korean migrant communities in the Far East. There is no question that this book will make a significant empirical contribution to the literature and be of interest to scholars of Korean, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese history.” —Eric Lohr, American University, author of Russian Citizenship

The Paradox of Ukrainian Lviv A Borderland City between Stalinists, Nazis, and Nationalists Tarik Cyril Amar

The Paradox of Ukrainian Lviv reveals the local and transnational forces behind the twentieth-century transformation of Lviv into a Soviet and Ukrainian urban center. Lviv’s twentieth-century history was marked by violence, population changes, and fundamental transformation ethnically, linguistically, and in terms of its residents’ self-perception. Against this background, Tarik Cyril Amar explains a striking paradox: Soviet rule, which came to Lviv in ruthless Stalinist shape and lasted for half a century, left behind the most Ukrainian version of the city in history. In reconstructing this dramatically profound change, Amar illuminates the historical background in present-day identities and tensions within Ukraine. Tarik Cyril Amar is Associate Professor in the Department of History at Columbia University, and the former Academic Director of the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe in Lviv.

“In its skillful mid-20th-century re-narration and source analysis, Amar’s noir is a major achievement. Specialists, graduate students and historiographical belligerents in European history should read The Paradox of Ukranian Lviv in order to rethink Ukraine’s tumultuous past and present.” —Slavic Review “The use of case studies, life histories, and personal sources in Amar’s book helps in dealing with complicated theoretical issues and makes the book even more readable. . . . Amar’s study claims a place in the field occupied by Jan Gross in Polish historiography: and that is why the book is destined to become a subject of heated debate. More important, it will provoke further works that challenge both national and imperial myths, and will prompt new problematizing of the issues of historical subjectivity, actorship, and responsibility.” — Ab Imperio

Whose Bosnia? Nationalism and Political Imagination in the Balkans, 1840–1914 Edin Hajdarpasic

WINNER OF THE JOSEPH ROTHSCHILD PRIZE IN NATIONALISM AND ETHNIC STUDIES

As Edin Hajdarpasic shows, formative contestations over Bosnia and the surrounding region began well the assassination that triggered World War I, emerging with the rise of new nineteenth-century forces—Serbian and Croatian nationalisms, and Ottoman, Habsburg, Muslim, and Yugoslav political movements—that claimed this province as their own. Whose Bosnia? reveals the political pressures and moral arguments that made Bosnia a prime target of escalating nationalist activity. Hajdarpasic provides new insight into central themes of modern politics, illuminating core subjects like “the people,” state-building, and national suffering. Whose Bosnia? proposes a new figure in the history of nationalism: the (br)other, a character signifying the potential of being “brother” and “Other,” containing the fantasy of complete assimilation and insurmountable difference. By bringing this figure into focus, Whose Bosnia? shows nationalism to be a dynamic and open-ended force, one that eludes a clear sense of historical closure. Edin Hajdarpasic is Associate Professor of History at Loyola University Chicago.

“Scholars of the Balkans and beyond, have been waiting for an account like this for a long time—an account that is not afraid to ask difficult questions; approach them studiously, seriously, and in an interdisciplinary fashion; and answer them in a way that is supported by vast amount of evidence, grace, and honesty.” —H-SAE “This book introduces new perspectives to our understanding of nationalism in Bosnia, which was, as Hajdarpašić persuasively argues, imported from neighboring countries. Given the wealth of primary sources on which Hajdarpasic draws, his inquiry goes into an amazing level of detail and offers an immense range of information. It will be particularly useful to students and scholars of history, political science, cultural anthropology, sociology, and linguistics.” — Hungarian Historical Review

Emotional Diplomacy Official Emotion on the International Stage Todd H. Hall

COWINNER OF THE DPLST BOOK PRIZE

Emotional Diplomacy explores the politics of expressed emotion on the international stage, looking at the ways state actors strategically deploy emotional behavior to manipulate the perceptions of others. By examining diverse instances of emotional behavior, Todd H. Hall reveals that official emotional displays play an integral role in the strategies and interactions of state actors. Emotional diplomacy is more than rhetoric; as this book demonstrates, its implications extend to the provision of economic and military aid, great-power cooperation, and the use of armed force. Hall investigates three strands of emotional diplomacy: those rooted in anger, sympathy, and guilt. His research, drawn on sources and interviews in five different languages, provides new insights into the 1995–1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis, the post-9/11 reactions of China and Russia, and relations between West Germany and Israel after World War II. Emotional Diplomacy offers a unique take on the intersection of strategic action and emotional display, a means for understanding why states behave emotionally. Hall provides the theoretical tools necessary for understanding the nature and significance of state-level emotional behavior through new observations of how states seek reconciliation, strategically respond to unforeseen crises, and demonstrate resolve in the face of perceived provocations. Todd H. Hall is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and International Relations and Tutorial Fellow in Politics, Saint Anne’s College, at the University of Oxford.

Gender and Migration A Gender-Sensitive Approach to Migration Dynamics edited by Christiane Timmerman, Maria Lucinda Fonseca, Lore Van Pr a ag, and Sónia Pereir a

Considering the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between gender relations and migration, the contributions in this book approach migration dynamics from a gender-sensitive perspective. Bringing together insights from various fields of study, it is demonstrated how processes of social change occur differently in distinct life domains, over time, and across countries and/ or regions, influencing the relationship between gender and migration. Detailed analysis by regions, countries, and types of migration reveals a strong variation regarding levels and features of female and male migration. This approach enables us to grasp the distinct ways in which gender roles, perceptions, and relations, each embedded in a particular cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic context, affect migration dynamics. Hence, this volume demonstrates that gender matters at each stage of the migration process. In its entirety, Gender and Migration gives evidence of the unequivocal impact of gender and gendered structures, both at a micro and macro level, upon migrant’s lives and of migration on gender dynamics. Christiane Timmerman is professor and head of the Centre for Migration and Intercultural Studies (CeMIS) at the University of Antwerp.

Unrivaled Why America Will Remain the World’s Sole Superpower Michael Beckley

The inexorable rise of the United States.

The United States has been the world’s dominant power for more than a century. Now many analysts believe that other countries are rising and the United States is in decline. Is the unipolar moment over? Is America finished as a superpower?. In this book, Michael Beckley argues that the United States has unique advantages over other nations that, if used wisely, will allow it to remain the world’s sole superpower throughout this century. We are not living in a transitional, post-Cold War era. Instead, we are in the midst of what he calls the unipolar era—a period as singular and important as any epoch in modern history. This era, Beckley contends, will endure because the US has a much larger economic and military lead over its closest rival, China, than most people think and the best prospects of any nation to amass wealth and power in the decades ahead. Deeply researched and brilliantly argued, this book covers hundreds of years of great power politics and develops new methods for measuring power and predicting the rise and fall of nations. By documenting long-term trends in the global balance of power and explaining their implications for world politics, the book provides guidance for policymakers, businesspeople, and scholars alike. Michael Beckley is Fellow in the International Security Program at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and Assistant Professor of Political Science at Tufts University.

“Beckley demonstrates that no country is poised to upend American primacy, not economically, not militarily, and not technologically. . . .

The Smile of the Human Bomb New Perspectives on Suicide Terrorism Gideon Ar an tr ansl ated by Jeffrey Green

In 2017, nearly six thousand people were killed in suicide attacks across the world. In The Smile of the Human Bomb, Gideon Aran dissects the moral logic of the suicide terrorism that led to those deaths. The book is a firsthand examination of the bomb site at the moment of the explosion, during the first few minutes after the explosion, and in the last moments before the explosion. Aran uncovers the suicide bomber’s final preparations before embarking on the suicide mission: the border crossing, the journey toward the designated target, penetration into the site, and the behavior of both sides within it. The book sheds light on the truth of the human bomb. Aran’s gritty and often disturbing account is built on a foundation of participant observation with squads of pious Jewish volunteers who gather the scorched fragments of the dead after terrorist attacks; newly revealed documents, including interrogation protocols; interviews with Palestinian armed resistance members and retired Israeli counterterrorism agents; observations of failed suicide terrorists in jail; and conversations with the acquaintances of human bombs. The Smile of the Human Bomb provides new insights on the Middle East conflict, political violence, radicalism, victimhood, ritual, and death and unveils a suicide terrorism scene far different from what is conventionally pictured. In the end, Aran discovers, the suicide terrorist is an unremarkable figure, and the circumstances of his or her recruitment and operation are prosaic and often accidental. The smiling human bomb is neither larger than life nor a monster, but an actor on a human scale. And suicide terrorism is a drama in which clichés and chance events play their role. Gideon Ar an is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Hebrew University, Jerusalem. He is author, most recently, of Kookism: The Bloc of the Faithful, Jewish Settlers, Zionist Theology, and Contemporary Messianism.

“By departing from the traditional political, military, economic, and theological analyses of terrorism, Aran presents an intriguing and novel view of the issue.” —JPublishers Weekly “This is a remarkable exploration of the meaning of suicide terrorism. It is an intellectual journey through personal accounts of victims and inside views of the Zaka movement of Orthodox Jews who locate bits of flesh remaining after suicide attacks. This is a thoughtful, sensitively written tour-de-force by one of Israel’s leading anthropologists, and the scope of his book is wide-ranging, touching on themes that are relevant to the many forms of religious extremism around the world.” —Mark Juergensmeyer, author of Terror in the Mind of God “This is a terrific book: fascinating, smart, and enlightening. Aran makes an important contribution to the field, and this is one of the best studies of the phenomenon of suicide terrorism and even of terrorism broadly conceived.” —Barak Mendelsohn, author of The al-Qaeda Franchise

The Rise and Decline of the American Century William O. Walker III

In 1941, the magazine publishing titan Henry R. Luce urged the nation’s leaders to create an American Century. But in the era after World War II, proponents of the American Century faced a daunting task. Even so, Luce had articulated an animating idea that, as William O. Walker III skillfully shows in The Rise and Decline of the American Century, would guide US foreign policy through the years of hot and cold war. The American Century was, Walker argues, the counterbalance to defensive war during World War II and the containment of communism during the Cold War. American policymakers pursued an aggressive agenda to extend US influence around the globe through control of economic markets, reliance on nation building, and, where necessary, provision of arms to allied forces. This positive program for the expansion of American power, Walker deftly demonstrates, came in for widespread criticism by the late 1950s. A changing world, epitomized by the nonaligned movement, challenged US leadership and denigrated the market democracy at the heart of the ideal of the American Century. Walker analyzes the international crises and monetary troubles that further curtailed the reach of the American Century in the early 1960s and brought it to a halt by the end of that decade. By 1968, it seemed that all the United States had to offer to allies and non-hostile nations was convenient military might, nuclear deterrence, and the uncertainty of détente. Once the dust had settled on Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidency and Richard M. Nixon had taken office, what remained was, The Rise and Decline of the American Century shows, an adulterated, strategically-based version of Luce’s American Century. Willia m O. Walker III was Professor of History at the University of Toronto. He is retired and lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He has published extensively on US-Latin American relations and is the author of National Security and Core Values in American History.

“The Rise and Decline of the American Century is a provocative and original interpretation of American foreign relations history. It shows, in abundance, how a skilled, seasoned scholar can take a trope (the American Century) and play it out over a large chunk of history. William Walker’s work is of the highest level.” —Thomas W. Zeiler, author of Annihilation: A Global Military History of World War II “An impressively detailed account of U.S. foreign policy in the early postwar decades.” —Foreign Affairs “Regaling readers with his mastery of the literature and his elegant prose, Walker argues that the United States did not unite a ‘free world’ against communism after World War II but rather actively sought hegemony over it, often bewildering allies in the process. Outsized ambitions ensured that Henry Luce’s American Century would last but a quarter of that time.” —Alan McPherson, author of The Invaded: How Latin Americans and Their Allies Fought and Ended US Occupation

To Build as Well as Destroy American Nation Building in South Vietnam Andrew J. Gaw thorpe

For years, the “better war” school of thought has argued that the United States built a legitimate and viable non-Communist state in South Vietnam in the latter years of the Vietnam War, and that it was only the military “abandonment” of this state that brought down the Republic of Vietnam. But Andrew J. Gawthorpe, through a detailed, incisive analysis, shows that the United States failed in its efforts at nation-building and had not established a viable state in South Vietnam. Drawing on newly opened archival collections and previously unexamined oral histories with dozens of US military officers and government officials, To Build as Well as Destroy demonstrates the US never came close to achieving victory in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Gawthorpe tells a story of policy aspirations and practical failures that stretches from Washington, DC, to the Vietnamese villages in which the US implemented its nation-building strategy. Structural factors which could not have been overcome by the further application of military power thwarted US efforts to build a viable set of non-communist political, economic, and social institutions in South Vietnam. To Build as Well as Destroy provides the most comprehensive account yet of the largest and best-resourced nation-building program in US history. Gawthorpe’s analysis helps contemporary policy makers, diplomats, and military officers understand the reasons for this failure. At a moment in time when American strategists are grappling with military and political challenges in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, revisiting the historical lessons of Vietnam is a worthy endeavor. Andrew J. Gaw thorpe is University Lecturer at Leiden University. He previously held positions as a teaching fellow at the UK Defence Academy, a research fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, and a civil servant in the British Cabinet Office. His work appears in Foreign Affairs, The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, Stars and Stripes, and The National Interest.

“Andrew Gawthorpe’s book is an excellent study of the CORDS program implemented by the United States in Vietnam between 1967–1973. I know of no other book that covers the pacification effort in such detail. This work is a significant contribution to the literature on American nation-building efforts in Vietnam.” —Gregory A. Daddis, author of Withdrawal: Reassessing America’s Final Years in Vietnam “Andrew J. Gawthorpe brilliantly and convincingly demonstrates that Vietnam was no lost victory. In To Build as Well as Destroy, he shows that, despite the assurances of counterinsurgency technocrats, T.E. Lawrence folklorists, and nation-building soldiers, pacification proved to be a failed doctrine for a failed war.” —Douglas Porch, author of Counterinsurgency: Exposing the Myths of the New Way of War

Borderline Citizens The United States, Puerto Rico, and the Politics of Colonial Migration Robert C. McGreevey

Borderline Citizens explores the intersection of US colonial power and Puerto Rican migration. Robert C. McGreevey examines a series of confrontations in the early decades of the twentieth century between colonial migrants seeking work and citizenship in the metropole and various groups—employers, colonial officials, court officers, and labor leaders—policing the borders of the US economy and polity. Borderline Citizens deftly shows the dynamic and contested meaning of American citizenship. At a time when colonial officials sought to limit citizenship through the definition of Puerto Rico as a US territory, Puerto Ricans tested the boundaries of colonial law when they migrated to California, Arizona, New York, and other states on the mainland. The conflicts and legal challenges created when Puerto Ricans migrated to the US mainland thus serve, McGreevey argues, as essential, if overlooked, evidence crucial to understanding US empire and citizenship. McGreevey demonstrates the value of an imperial approach to the history of migration. Drawing attention to the legal claims migrants made on the mainland, he highlights the agency of Puerto Rican migrants and the efficacy of their efforts to find an economic, political, and legal home in the United States. At the same time, Borderline Citizens demonstrates how colonial institutions shaped migration streams through a series of changing colonial legal categories that tracked alongside corporate and government demands for labor mobility. McGreevey describes a history shaped as much by the force of US power overseas as by the claims of colonial migrants within the United States. Robert C. McGreevey is Associate Professor of History at the College of New Jersey. He is the co-author of Global America: The United States in the Twentieth Century, with Christopher T. Fisher and Alan Dawley.

“Robert McGreevey offers original insights and deepens our understanding of the contours of US citizenship, and the multi-layered nature of labor migration. Borderline Citizens brings together empire and migration, illustrates the complex and interconnected web of US migration history, and depicts the continuing legacy of US empire in the Caribbean well into the twentieth century in an effective manner. This is a compelling contribution to the literatures on US empire, immigration history, legal history and labor history.” —Mary Dudziak, author of War Time: An Idea, Its History, Its Consequences “Borderline Citizens is a timely and accessible historical account of the entanglement of US imperialism, law, and Puerto Rican migration. . . . As thousands of Puerto Ricans remain without relief a year after Hurricane María, Borderline Citizens is at once a cautionary tale of the disenfranchising effects of US imperialism and a reminder of the ferocity of a people in the face of injustice.” —Choice

Charles Austin Beard The Return of the Master Historian of American Imperialism Richard Dr ake

Richard Drake presents a new interpretation of Charles Austin Beard’s life and work. The foremost American historian and a leading public intellectual in the first half of the twentieth century, Beard participated actively in the debates about American politics and foreign policy surrounding the two world wars. Drake takes this famous man’s life and rewrites his intellectual biography by placing the European dimension of Beard’s thought at the center. This radical change of critical focus allows Drake to correct previous biographers’ oversights and, in Charles Austin Beard, present a far more nuanced appreciation for Beard’s life than we have read before. Drake proposes a restoration of Beard’s professional reputation, which he lost in large part because of his extremely unpopular opposition to America’s intervention in World War II. Drake analyzes the stages of Beard’s development as a historian and critic: his role as an intellectual leader in the Progressive movement, the support that he gave to the cause of American intervention in World War I, and his subsequent revisionist repudiation of Wilsonian ideals and embrace of non-interventionism in the lead-up to World War II. Many of his dire predictions about the inevitable consequences of pre-World War II American foreign policy have come to pass. Drake shows that, as Americans tally the ruinous costs—both financial and moral—of nation-building and informal empire, the life and work of this prophet of history merit a thorough reexamination. Richard Dr ake is the Lucile Speer Research Chair in Politics and History at the University of Montana. He has published a number of books, including, most recently, The Education of an Anti-Imperialist: Robert La Follette and U.S. Expansion.

“An estimable study. . . . Drake’s fine book . . . performs an important service. It invites readers to do what Beard himself strove to do as he kept close watch on events during the 1930s and 1940s: to remain alert to hypocrisy and contradiction contributing to the misuse of American power. In an era awash with fake news, the handiwork not only of policymakers but of the media itself, this task becomes more important than ever.” —The American Conservative “An incisive view of the power of Beard, and a sense of his intellectual origins. . . . Drake’s worthy volume seeks to take full measure of Charles Beard’s contribution to the scholarship of American history.” —The Progressive “Charles Beard was a fascinating thinker and historian, and deserves the scholarly attention given to him by Richard Drake. Drake’s book provides an important service in reintroducing us to Beard the anti-imperialist, a needed return.” —Andrew Hartman, author of A War for the Soul of America

The Sober Revolution Appellation Wine and the Transformation of France Joseph Bohling

Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne. The names of these and other French regions bring to mind time-honored winemaking practices. Yet the link between wine and place, in French known as terroir, was not a given. In The Sober Revolution, Joseph Bohling inverts our understanding of French wine history by revealing a modern connection between wine and place, one with profound ties to such diverse and sometimes unlikely issues as alcoholism, drunk driving, regional tourism, Algeria’s independence from French rule, and integration into the European Economic Community. In the 1930s, cheap, mass-produced wines from the Languedoc region of southern France and French Algeria dominated French markets. Artisanal wine producers, worried about the impact of these “inferior” products on the reputation of their wines, created a system of regional appellation labeling to reform the industry in their favor by linking quality to the place of origin. At the same time, the loss of Algeria, once the world’s largest wine exporter, forced the industry to rethink wine production. Over several decades, appellation producers were joined by technocrats, public health activists, tourism boosters, and other dynamic economic actors who blamed cheap industrial wine for hindering efforts to modernize France. Today, scholars, food activists, and wine enthusiasts see the appellation system as a counterweight to globalization and industrial food. But, as The Sober Revolution reveals, French efforts to localize wine and integrate into global markets were not antagonistic but instead mutually dependent. The time-honored winemaking practices that we associate with a pastoral vision of traditional France were in fact a strategy deployed by the wine industry to meet the challenges and opportunities of the post1945 international economy. France’s luxury wine producers were more market savvy than we realize. Joseph Bohling is Assistant Professor of History at Portland State University.

“The Sober Revolution is an essential read for scholars and wine-lovers alike. The discussions of anti-alcoholism campaigns, automobile touring and safety, and the relationship of Algerian production to the metropole are a much needed update and expansion of our current understanding of French culture and history.” —Kolleen Guy, author of When Champagne Became French: Wine and the Making of a National Identity “In this book, Joseph Bohling draws attention to the historic transition that led France to abandon its system of mass industrial production of wine to build a model of luxury wines based on the emergence of new standards promoting the differentiation of production. . . . Bohling unquestionably offers an unprecedented and stimulating synthesis that recalls the central roles played by the actors in the world of wine, and by wine itself, in France’s political evolution, its economic and cultural development, and its place in the world.” —Christophe Lucand, Territoires contemporains

War Tourism Second World War France from Defeat and Occupation to the Creation of Heritage Bertr am Gordon

As German troops entered Paris following their victory in June 1940, the American journalist William L. Shirer observed that they carried cameras and behaved as “naïve tourists.” One of the first things Hitler did after his victory was to tour occupied Paris, where he was famously photographed in front of the Eiffel Tower. Focusing on tourism by the German military and both French and German civilians during the war, as well as war-related memory tourism since, War Tourism addresses the fundamental linkages between the two. As Bertram M. Gordon shows, Germans toured occupied France by the thousands in groups organized by their army and guided by suggestions in magazines such as Der Deutsche Wegleiter für Paris [The German Guide for Paris]. Despite the hardships imposed by war and occupation, many French civilians continued to take holidays, facilitated, in part, by the Popular Front legislation of 1936. This practice solidified the idea of workers’ vacations, leading to a postwar surge in tourism. After the end of the war, the phenomenon of memory tourism transformed sites such as the Maginot Line fortresses. The influx of tourists with links—directly or indirectly—to the war took hold and continues to play a significant economic role in Normandy and elsewhere. As France moved from wartime to a postwar era of reconciliation and European union, memory tourism has held strong and exerts significant influence across the country. Bertr am Gordon is Professor of European History at Mills College. He is the author of Collaborationism in France during the Second World War and The Historical Dictionary of World War II France.

“Gordon takes readers on a fascinating journey, illuminating how France emerged as a tourist icon between the wars, then thrived during the Second World War and its aftermath. We see that pleasure travel by German soldiers and French citizens helped to build both a real and imaginary destination location—one that still fuels transatlantic flights.” —Sandra Ott, author of Living with the Enemy “In this splendid book on the growth of tourism, the reader travels with Gordon to key sites of memory in twentieth-century France. Drawing on French and German archives, Parisian police records, contemporary guide books, films, diaries, and interviews, Gordon displays a dazzling command of European history, tourism, and memory studies.” —Elizabeth Campbell, author of Defending National Treasures

The Hungry Steppe Famine, Violence, and the Making of Soviet Kazakhstan Sar ah Cameron

The Hungry Steppe examines one of the most heinous crimes of the Stalinist regime, the Kazakh famine of 1930–33. More than 1.5 million people perished in this famine, a quarter of Kazakhstan’s population, and the crisis transformed a territory the size of continental Europe. Yet the story of this famine has remained mostly hidden from view. Drawing upon state and Communist party documents, as well as oral history and memoir accounts in Russian and in Kazakh, Sarah Cameron reveals this brutal story and its devastating consequences for Kazakh society. Through the most violent of means the Kazakh famine created Soviet Kazakhstan, a stable territory with clearly delineated boundaries that was an integral part of the Soviet economic system; and it forged a new Kazakh national identity. But this state-driven modernization project was uneven. Ultimately, Cameron finds, neither Kazakhstan nor Kazakhs themselves were integrated into the Soviet system in precisely the ways that Moscow had originally hoped. The experience of the famine scarred the republic for the remainder of the Soviet era and shaped its transformation into an independent nation in 1991. Cameron uses her history of the Kazakh famine to overturn several assumptions about violence, modernization, and nation-making under Stalin, highlighting, in particular, the creation of a new Kazakh national identity, and how environmental factors shaped Soviet development. Ultimately, The Hungry Steppe depicts the Soviet regime and its disastrous policies in a new and unusual light. Sar ah I. Cameron is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Maryland-College Park.

“Sarah Cameron unearths abundant new Russian and Kazakh language sources to tell a spellbinding story of vicious social engineering. Explaining what happened and why with utmost care, Cameron records the howls of suffering and mass death in the violent emergence of a Soviet Kazakh nation.” — Stephen Kotkin, Princeton University “Sarah Cameron demonstrates the relevance of the long-overlooked Kazakh famine to many bigger historical questions. The end result is a damning indictment of Soviet nation building that covers new ground and adds important dimensions to one of the epic stories of twentieth century social transformation.” —David Brandenberger, author of National Bolshevism “The Hungry Steppe offers a valuable contribution to the historical record by providing the first painstaking, English-language examination of the Kazakh famine.” —Eurasianet

Nation-Empire Ideology and Rural Youth Mobilization in Japan and Its Colonies Sayak a Chatani

By the end of World War II, hundreds of thousands of young men in the Japanese colonies, in particular Taiwan and Korea, had expressed their loyalty to the empire by volunteering to join the army. Why and how did so many colonial youth become passionate supporters of Japanese imperial nationalism? And what happened to these youth after the war? Nation-Empire investigates these questions by examining the long-term mobilization of youth in the rural peripheries of Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. Personal stories and village histories vividly show youth’s ambitions, emotions, and identities generated in the shifting conditions in each locality. At the same time, Sayaka Chatani unveils an intense ideological mobilization built from diverse contexts—the global rise of youth and agrarian ideals, Japan’s strong drive for assimilation and nationalization, and the complex emotions of younger generations in various remote villages. Nation-Empire engages with multiple historical debates. Chatani considers metropole-colony linkages, revealing the core characteristics of the Japanese Empire; discusses youth mobilization, juxtaposing the Japanese seinendan (village youth associations) with the Boy Scouts and the Hitlerjugend; and examines society and individual subjectivities under totalitarian rule. Her book highlights the shifting state-society transactions of the twentieth-century world through the lens of the Japanese Empire, inviting readers to contend with a new approach to, and a bold vision of, empire study. Sayak a Chatani is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the National University of Singapore.

“Nation-Empire redirects the scholarly focus from urban toward rural society and offers a persuasive analysis of sociopolitical change and subjectivity formation across the Japanese empire. Rigorous in its framing and effective in its comparisons, this book is a substantial contribution and reminder that modernity was not simply an urban affair.” —David Ambaras, author of Bad Youth: Juvenile Delinquency and the Politics of Everyday Life in Modern Japan “Chatani answers a vexing question of colonialism: why rural youth in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea actively engaged in colonial and wartime initiatives, including military service. This history transforms our understanding of Japan as a “nation-empire” and makes a valuable contribution to the world history of youth.” —Lori Watt, author of When Empire Comes Home

Remaking the Chinese Empire Manchu-Korean Relations, 1616–1911 Yuanchong Wang

Remaking the Chinese Empire examines China’s development from an empire into a modern state through the lens of Sino-Korean political relations during the Qing period. Incorporating Korea into the historical narrative of the Chinese empire, it demonstrates that the Manchu regime used its relations with Chosŏn Korea to establish, legitimize, and consolidate its identity as the civilized center of the world, as a cosmopolitan empire, and as a modern sovereign state. For the Manchu regime and for the Chosŏn Dynasty, the relationship was one of mutual dependence, central to building and maintaining political legitimacy. Yuanchong Wang illuminates how this relationship served as the very model for China’s foreign relations. Ultimately, this precipitated contests, conflicts, and compromises among empires and states in East Asia, Inner Asia, and Southeast Asia—in particular, in the nineteenth century when international law reached the Chinese world. By adopting a long-term and cross-border perspective on high politics at the empire’s core and periphery, Wang revises our understanding of the rise and transformation of the last imperial dynasty of China. His work reveals new insights on the clashes between China’s foreign relations system and its Western counterpart, imperialism and colonialism in the Chinese world, and the formation of modern sovereign states in East Asia. Most significantly, Remaking the Chinese Empire breaks free of the established, national history-oriented paradigm, establishing a new paradigm through which to observe and analyze the Korean impact on the Qing Dynasty. Yuanchong Wang is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of Delaware.

“Remaking the Chinese Empire is an engaging study of the discursive and symbolic aspects of the relationship between Qing and Chosŏn. It will be welcomed as a sophisticated intervention in a discussion that is currently of great interest to historians of China and Korea, as well as specialists in international relations.” —Pamela Kyle Crossley, Dartmouth College “In Remaking the Chinese Empire, Wang shows how the tributary system actually functioned, providing details from travel accounts of the Chosŏn missions to Qing, and vice versa. Drawing deftly on sources in Manchu, Korean, and Chinese, he complicates our picture of the Qing as an Inner Asian/Manchu empire, a part of which included China proper.” —Steven B. Miles, Washington University in St. Louis

Politics under the Influence Vodka and Public Policy in Putin’s Russia Anna L . Bailey

“You know just how serious a problem alcoholism has become for our country. Frankly speaking, it has taken on the proportions of a national disaster.” So spoke Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in 2009 as the government launched its latest anti-alcohol campaign. Challenging the standard narrative of top-down implementation of policy, Anna Bailey’s Politics under the Influence breaks new ground in the analysis of Russian alcoholism and the politics of the Putin regime. The state is supposed to make policy in the national interest, to preserve the nation’s health against the ravages inflicted by widespread alcohol abuse. In fact, Bailey shows, the Russian state is deeply divided, and policy is commonly a result of the competitive interactions of stakeholders with vested interests. Politics under the Influence turns a spotlight on the powerful vodka industry whose ties to Putin’s political elite have grown in influence since 2009. She details how that lobby has used the anti-alcohol campaign as a way to reduce the competitiveness of its main rival—the multinational beer industry. Drawing on a wide range of sources including fieldwork interviews, government documents, media articles, and opinion polls, Bailey reveals the many ambivalences, informal practices, and paradoxes in contemporary Russian politics. Politics under the Influence exhibits the kleptocratic nature of the Putin regime; as a result, analysis of vested interests and informal sources of power is essential to understanding public policy in contemporary Russia. This book will be an invaluable resource for anyone working on policy and corruption in Putin’s Russia.

“Anna Bailey’s book is relaxed and readable. Her concepts are clear, there is no unnecessary jargon, and provides the reader with substantively rich, well-documented insights into the realm of Russian alcohol-policymaking.” —Mark Schrad, Villanova University “Anna Bailey’s high-quality book helps us understand how formal and informal sources of power combine to produce the outcomes we see in the world. Her insights are relevant to courses on post-communist politics, economic development, and policy making and implementation.” —Andrew Barnes, Kent State University

Anna L . Bailey worked for the UK civil service for four years and then as an English teacher in Kazan before graduate study at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London. She has published papers in the volumes of the International Scientific-Practical Conference on Alcohol in Russia.

Rising Titans, Falling Giants How Great Powers Exploit Power Shifts Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson

As a rising great power flexes its muscles on the political-military scene it must examine how to manage its relationships with states suffering from decline; and it has to do so in a careful and strategic manner. In Rising Titans, Falling Giants Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson focuses on the policies that rising states adopt toward their declining competitors in response to declining states’ policies, and what that means for the relationship between the two. Rising Titans, Falling Giants integrates disparate approaches to realism into a single theoretical framework, provides new insight into the sources of cooperation and competition in international relations, and offers a new empirical treatment of great power politics at the start and end of the Cold War. Shifrinson challenges the existing historical interpretations of diplomatic history, particularly in terms of the United States-China relationship. Whereas many analysts argue that these two nations are on a collision course, Shifrinson declares instead that rising states often avoid antagonizing those in decline, and highlights episodes that suggest the US-China relationship may prove to be far less conflict-prone than we might expect. Joshua R. Itzkowitz Shifrinson is Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Pardee School of Boston University. He has published in International Security, Foreign Affairs, the Washington Quarterly, and other venues.

“Rising Titans, Falling Giants fills a gap in the literature that had until now not been properly researched: how do rising states formulate their strategy toward their declining peers. Its theory is precise; the historical evidence it presents is convincing and sometimes novel. A must-read for those interested in world politics.” —Nuno Monteiro, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of International Security Studies, Yale University “Rising Titans, Falling Giants provides an insightful and innovative interpretation of international behavior. It should be read and pondered by all those wishing to understand American foreign policy today.” —Jack Matlock, author of Reagan and Gorbachev: How the Cold War Ended, and Superpower Illusions.
