Drawing together evidence and theory from economics, poli�cal science, and finance, Gare� Jones argues that the richest, most democra�c na�ons would benefit if they slightly reduced accountability to the vo�ng public, turning up the dial on elite influence.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Thomas Jefferson held that each genera�on should take an ac�ve role in shaping the US Cons�tu�on. Beau Breslin imagines how historical figures from 1787 to the present might have fashioned their par�cular genera�on’s Cons�tu�on.

Inves�gates the failure of delibera�ve democracy to acknowledge the democra�c contribu�on of ac�vism, offering an alterna�ve theore�cal approach that makes a key dis�nc�on between contribu�ng to and delibera�ng with.
To secure the general welfare in a new century, the future of American unity lies not in monolithic na�onalism. Rather, Samuel Goldman suggests we move in the opposite direc�on: go small, embrace difference as the driving characteris�c of American society, and support poli�cal projects grounded in local communi�es.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS
A mul�vocal account of why Egypt’s defeated 2011 revolu�on remains a watershed in the country’s poli�cal history. Mona El-Ghobashy rethinks how we study revolu�ons, looking past causes and consequences to the collisions of revolu�onary poli�cs.
Blue-Collar Conserva�sm examines the blue-collar, white supporters of Frank Rizzo—Philadelphia's police commissioner turned mayor—and shows how the intersec�on of law enforcement and urban poli�cs created one of the least understood but most consequen�al poli�cal developments in recent American history.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
Jacqueline L. Hazelton challenges the claim that winning “hearts and minds” is cri�cal to successful counterinsurgency campaigns. She argues that major counterinsurgent successes since the Second World War have resulted not through democra�c reforms but rather through the use of military force against civilians and the coopta�on of rival elites.
In this engaging and accessible book, Thomas A. Spragens, Jr., examines the opposing sides of the free market versus welfare state debate through the lenses of poli�cal economy, moral philosophy, and poli�cal theory.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS
The first in-depth explora�on of the persistence and pervasiveness of a dangerous legal fic�on about people who cross borders: the binary dis�nc�on between migrant and refugee. Rebecca Hamlin argues for a more equitable advocacy for all border crossers.
Situa�ng current debate on immigra�on within America’s history of indigenous dispossession, cha�el slavery, the Mexican-American War, and Jim Crow, Cris�na Beltrán reveals white supremacy to be white democracy—a prac�ce of racial violence, domina�on, and exclusion that gave white ci�zens the right to both wield and exceed the law.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
Michael Hunzeker develops a novel theory to explain how war�me militaries learn. He focuses on the Western Front, which witnessed three greatpower armies’ struggle to cope with deadlock throughout the First World War, as the Bri�sh, French, and German armies all pursued the same solu�ons-assault tac�cs, combined arms, and elas�c defense in depth.
This book unveils the history and impact of an unprecedented anarchist awakening in early twen�eth-century America. Mother Earth, an anarchist monthly published by Emma Goldman, played a key role in sparking and spreading the movement around the world. Rachel Hui-Chi Hsu explores the fascina�ng history of the magazine.

Following the Leader argues that most countries ignore their individual security interests in military pacts, instead converging on a single, dominant alliance strategy as they jockey for status in a world periodically remade by great powers.
Figh�ng for Dignity explores the impact of a mass deporta�on campaign on African and Asian migrant workers in Tel Aviv and their Israeli-born children. In this vivid ethnography, Sarah Willen shows how undocumented migrants struggle to cra� meaningful, flourishing lives despite the exclusion and vulnerability they endure. 5

Marlene Laruelle argues that the charge of “fascism” has become a strategic narra�ve of the current world order. Laruelle closely analyzes accusa�ons of fascism toward Russia, soberly assessing both their origins and their accuracy. By labeling ideological opponents as fascist, regardless of their actual values or ac�ons, geopoli�cal rivals are able to frame their own vision of the world and claim the moral high ground.

Robin Hayes reveals how Black Power and African independence ac�vists redefined racial discrimina�on as an interna�onal human rights issue requiring educa�on, sustained collec�ve ac�on, and global solidarity—laying the groundwork for future transna�onal racial jus�ce movements, such as Black Lives Ma�er.
How military propaganda has targeted Americans since 9/11, deliberately infla�ng the actual threat of terrorism and contribu�ng to a broader culture of fear and militarism that ul�mately threatens the founda�ons of a free society.

When war breaks out, different individuals mobilize in different ways—some flee, some pick up arms, and some support armed actors.

Nuclear Reac�ons analyzes how nuclear weapons change the calcula�ons states make in their foreign policies, why they do so, and why nuclear weapons have such different effects on the foreign policies of different countries.
Assessing the problems of resources, enforcement, and oversight that beset China’s police, outside of cracking down on poli�cal protests, Suzanne E. Scoggins finds that the central government and the Ministry of Public Security have priori�zed “stability maintenance”(weiwen) to the detriment of nearly every aspect of policing. 8

Combining original data analysis, fieldwork, interviews with secessionist leaders, and case studies, Ryan D. Griffiths shows how the rules and informal prac�ces of sovereign recogni�on create a strategic playing field between exis�ng states and aspiring na�ons that he terms the sovereignty game.
Ahsan I. Bu� argues that states rather than separa�sts determine whether a secessionist struggle will be peaceful, violent, or genocidal. He inves�gates the strategies, ranging from nego�ated concessions to large-scale repression, adopted by states in response to separa�st movements.

Dis�nguished historian and civil rights ac�vist Howard Ball narrates the experience of his family as Jewish outsiders in Mississippi, an unfamiliar and dangerous landscape contending with the a�ermath of the civil rights struggle.
