Presidents, Other Liars, and the First Amendment Catherine J. Ross

The History of Information Security in the Computer Age Andrew J. Stewart

As threats to the security of informa�on pervade the fabric of everyday life, A Vulnerable System describes how, even as the demand for informa�on security increases, the needs of society are not being met. The result is that the confiden�ality of our personal data, the integrity of our elec�ons, and the stability of foreign rela�ons between countries are increasingly at risk.

Do the na�on's highest officers, including the President, have a right to lie protected by the First Amendment? If not, what can be done to protect the na�on under this threat? This book explores the various op�ons.

Cornell Studies in Security Affairs November 2021 276pp 1 b&w line drawing 9781501760341 £44.00/ $55.00 HB

Paul E. Go�ried looks at an�fascism from its roots in early twen�eth-century Europe to its American manifesta�on in the present. The pivotal development for defining the present poli�cal spectrum, he suggests, has been the replacement of a recognizably Marxist Le� by an intersec�onal one, and poli�cal and ideological struggles have been configured around what has become a dominant force throughout the Western world.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

When is preven�ve war chosen to counter nuclear prolifera�on? Whitlark looks beyond systemic and slow-moving factors such as the distribu�on of power. Instead, she highlights individual leaders' beliefs to explain when preven�ve military force is the preferred strategy. Execu�ve perspec�ve—not ins�tu�onal structure—is paramount.

The Law and Politics of Cabinet Secrecy Yan Campagnolo

Why Foreign-Imposed Regime Change Goes Wrong Alexander B. Downes

UBC PRESS

In an era where government transparency and accountability are considered fundamental values, does Cabinet secrecy s�ll have a place? Behind Closed Doors is the first comprehensive explora�on of the legal and poli�cal rules protec�ng the confiden�ality of collec�ve decision making at the highest execu�ve level of the Canadian state.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

Alexander B. Downes compiles all instances of regime change around the world over the past two centuries. Drawing on this impressive data set, Downes shows that regime change increases the likelihood of civil war and violent leader removal in target states and fails to reduce the probability of conflict between intervening states and their targets.

In Ci�zens without a City, Jan-Jonathan Bock reveals how a dispropor�onate government response exacerbated survivors' sense of crisis, divided the local popula�on, and induced new types of poli�cal ac�on. Italy's disenfranchising emergency reac�on relocated ci�zens to camps and sites across a ruined townscape, without a plan for restora�on or return.

Scholars from seven disciplines, whose work spans five con�nents, announce a new way of seeing disasters that is essen�al for making sense of our �me: cri�cal disaster studies. Cri�cal Disaster Studies strips away the technocra�c veneer that too o�en makes structural problems appear to be acute emergencies.

This is an edited collec�on of essays that address an�semi�sm in its new and resurgent forms. Against a backdrop of concerning poli�cal developments, the contributors seek to be�er understand and effec�vely contend with today's an�semi�sm.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS

Alliances among ideological enemies confron�ng a common foe, or "frenemy" alliances, are unlike coali�ons among ideologicallysimilar states facing comparable threats. Members of frenemy alliances are perpetually torn by two powerful opposing forces. Haas shows that shared material threats push these states together while ideological differences pull them apart.

In Figh�ng Machines, Dan Saxon explores the rela�onship between lethal autonomous weapons (LAWS), the concept of human dignity, and interna�onal law. He argues that humans and LAWS must operate interdependently to ensure that human reasoning and judgment are available for cogni�ve func�ons be�er suited to persons than machines.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS

Elaborates condi�ons of existence that exceed any defini�on of world bound to poli�cal determina�ons. It offers a general cri�que of the poli�cal apparatus and seeks to establish an impera�ve horizon for existen�al selfunderstanding. The book provides a genealogy of infrapoli�cs in the context of contemporary philosophical and poli�co-theore�cal reflec�on.

When Congressman Mickey Leland died in 1989, he was a forty-four-year-old, charisma�c, black, radical American. In This Land of Plenty presents Leland as the personifica�on of interna�onal radicalism and examines African Americans' successes and failures in radically influencing U.S. foreign policy toward Global South countries.

Who are the men who kill on a mass scale? For Rechtman, it is not ideologies that kill, but people. Explores into the ordinary life of people who execute hundreds every day. Bringing philosophical sophis�ca�on to the ordinary, the book cons�tutes an anthropology of mass killers.

The first edited collec�on to chart the poli�cal, conceptual, and ethical consequences of how the underexplored problem of the nega�ve might be posed for contemporary cultural geography. These chapters consider how the nega�ve, through annihila�ons, gaps, ruptures, and tears, can work within or against the terms of affirma�onism. 4

The US Supreme Court has numbered nine jus�ces for the past 150 years. But the Democrats, controlling the House and Senate during the Biden presidency, could increase this number. Stephen Feldman makes the provoca�ve argument that the Democrats should pack the Court while they have the opportunity.

In Ordering Violence, Paul Staniland advances a broad approach to armed poli�cs—bringing together governments, insurgents, mili�as, and armed poli�cal par�es in a shared framework—to argue that governments' percep�on of the ideological threats posed by armed groups drive their responses and interac�ons.

The QAnon conspiracy theory has ensnared countless Americans—including many women, who iden�fy as members of "pastel QAnon". Here, two experts of extremist radicaliza�on track QAnon's unexpected leap from the darkest corners of the Internet to the filtered glow of yogi-mama Instagram—and show us a way back to sanity.

Paul A. Passavant explores how the policing of protest in the United States has become increasingly hos�le since the late 1990s, moving away from strategies that protect protestors toward militaris�c prac�ces designed to suppress legal protests.

With this nuanced and interdisciplinary work, poli�cal theorist Mihaela Mihai tackles several interrelated ques�ons: How do socie�es remember histories of systemic violence?

INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS

In Poli�cs, Money, and Persuasion, dis�nguished philosopher John Russon offers a new framework for interpre�ng Plato's The Republic.

Show Time asks why some perpetrators of poli�cal violence, from lynch mobs to genocidal killers, display their acts of violence so publicly and extravagantly. Examining three horrific episodes, Fujii shows how "violent displays" are staged to not merely to kill those perceived to be enemies or threats, but also to affect and influence observers, neighbors, and the larger society.

In The Democra�c Soul, Aaron L. Herold argues that democracy's current crisis arises from dissa�sfac�on with the Enlightenment's emphasis on rights over du�es. Using the work of Spinoza and Tocqueville, he ar�culates a revision of liberalism that recovers ideals of jus�ce and poli�cal modera�on for the contemporary moment.

As the lobbying arm of the civil rights movement, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR) was instrumental in the historic legisla�ve breakthroughs of the Second Reconstruc�on. Skillfully recounts the LCCR’s professional and grassroots lobbying that contributed to these civil rights policy achievements in the 1950s and ‘60s. Excludes Asia Pacific

In recent years, libertarian impulses have increasingly influenced na�onal and economic debates, from welfare reform to efforts to curtail affirma�ve ac�on. Murray N. Rothbard's classic The Ethics of Liberty stands as one of the most rigorous and philosophically sophis�cated exposi�ons of the libertarian poli�cal posi�on.

The Filipino Migra�on Experience introduces a new dimension to the usual depic�on of migrants as disenfranchised workers or marginal ethnic groups. Mina Roces suggests alterna�ve ways of conceptualizing Filipino migrantsas cri�cs of the family and cultural construc�ons of sexuality, as consumers and investors, as philanthropists, as ac�vists, and, as historians.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

At a �me when cri�ques of free trade policies are gaining currency, The Neomercan�lists helps make sense of the protec�onist turn, providing the first intellectual history of the genealogy of neomercan�lism. Helleiner iden�fies many pioneers of this ideology between the late eighteenth and early twen�eth centuries who backed strategic protec�onism and other forms of government economic ac�vism to promote state wealth and power.

In many countries mili�as and paramilitary groups wield greater power than na�onal governments, while in some war zones private contractors perform missions previously reserved for uniformed troops. In recent decades we have witnessed a rise in the use of military force by these nonstate actors in ways that impact the interna�onal system, leading Thomas to undertake this valuable assessment of the state of play at this cri�cal moment.

Herbert S. Lin provides a cleareyed breakdown of the cyber risks to the U.S. nuclear enterprise. Featuring a series of scenarios that clarify the intersec�on of cyber and nuclear risk, this book guides readers through a li�le-understood element of the risk profile that government decision-makers should be an�cipa�ng.

Michal Onderco offers a social network theory explana�on for how—largely due to the efforts of the US —the Treaty on NonProlifera�on of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) was extended in 1995. In doing so, he provides a new insight into mul�lateral diplomacy in general and nuclear nonprolifera�on in par�cular.
