Forgive Us Our Debts

03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Explains why federal debt is rising, what effects it may have on Americans, why our government borrows, and what it can take to pay it all back.

The British Tradition of Federalism

02 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Michael Burgess

£42.50 02 Feb 2012 Hardback Associated University Presses

Challenging orthodox assumptions concerning British federalism, The British Tradition of Federalism offers a unique revisionist critique of Britain's recent constitutional past.

The central themes of Empire, Ireland and Europe provide the empirical focus of this volume. Together, they reveal a fundamental continuity of British federal ideas: a single intellectual tradition which spans the last century.

By reinstating a neglected dimension of the larger British political tradition, Burgess shows how the continuing relevance of this federal tradition serves as both the source of and inspiration for a wide range of constitutional reform proposals in the 1990s.

The Same Age as the State

02 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Maire Cruise O'Brien

£31.50 02 Feb 2012 Hardback University of Wisconsin Press

Through a life that encompasses Irish tradition, culture, language, scholarship and poetry, as well as national and international politics, Maire Cruise O'Brien (nee Maire Mhac an tSaoi) is uniquely placed to tell the complex story of the emergence and growth of Ireland as an independent country. Her life not only parallels that development, her family played an active part in it.

Born in 1922, she intimately remembers the generation of the nineteenth century - her grandparents - and their way of life and values. Her own parents' dangerous involvement in the struggle for freedom, in the company of de Valera and Collins, was a hugely important element in her young life, as was her father's subsequent work as a senior government minister. Part of the new Irish elite, she lived in both Dublin and west Kerry; she went on to become an Irish scholar, to study Celtic languages in Paris immediately after the Second World War; and was called to the Bar but chose, instead, to join the Department of External (now Foreign) Affairs. She was the 'token woman' on the first Irish UN delegation in New York; and she was charge d'affaires in Franco's Spain in the 1940s, with experiences 'both baroque and absurd'.

Then she met and married Conor Cruise O'Brien, a rising star at the UN. Therafter, her life took her to the Congo, Ghana, Europe and America, where Conor worked both academically and politically in highly dramatic situations. From her unique vantage point she vividly recalls the workings of the international community. Their return to Ireland and Conor's position as a government minister took her full circle.

Wounds of War

19 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

By Julie M. Lamb, Marcy Levy, Michael R. Reich

£11.95 19 Jan 2012 Paperback Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies

In the last half century, the nature of war has changed dramatically. Wars in the post-Cold War period have occurred mainly within national borders rather than between sovereign states. In these conflicts, civilians are increasingly the deliberate targets of war rather than accidental victims. Women and children in particular have become the intentional targets of murder, rape, and kidnapping. The book focuses on the impact of war on women and girls, and the potential for women as peacemakers. The text addresses major policy issues facing organizations involved in humanitarian assistance, and highlights actions to address and resolve armed violence and conflict.

"Wounds of War" presents ten country profiles, along with information on eleven key topics related to the impacts of war, including the economies of war, small arms and light weapons, landmines, violence against women and girls, and missing persons.

How the United States Gained and Wielded Global Dominance

By Professor Michael H Hunt

£37.14 15 Jan 2012 Network Resource The University of North Carolina Press

What road did Americans travel to reach their current global preeminence? Taking the long historical view, Hunt demonstrates that wealth, confidence, and leadership were key elements to America's ascent. In an analytic narrative that illuminates the past rather than indulges in political triumphalism, he provides crucial insights into the country's problematic place in the world today. Hunt charts America's rise to global power from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to a culminating multilayered dominance achieved in the mid-twentieth century. He examines how the United States remade great power relations, fashioned limits for the third world, and shaped our current international economic and cultural order. Hunt concludes by addressing current issues, such as how durable American power really is and what options remain for America's future.

Politics and Propaganda

By Nicholas Jackson O'Shaughnessy

£30.50 21 Nov 2011 Hardback The University of Michigan Press

In Politics and Propaganda Nicholas O'Shaughnessy shows us why propaganda continues to be one of the prime movers of human history.

O'Shaughnessy, renowned author, scholar, and founder of the cutting-edge field of political marketing, explores one of the most-studied but least-understood aspects of civilized society. His comprehensive study of rhetoric, myth, and symbol explains both the evolution of propaganda and its continued success in the modern and post-modern eras. The result is an elegantly argued analysis that draws on a veritable encyclopedia of examples to explain the persistent appeal of disinformation in an age of high media literacy and intense political and social skepticism.

By Gunnar Sjstedt, Gunnar Sjostedt

£65.00 21 Oct 2011 Hardback Taylor & Francis Ltd

As the Kyoto Protocol limps along without the participation of the US and Australia, ongoing climate negotiations are plagued by competing national and business interests that are creating stumbling blocks to success. This book approaches the road blocks from five professional perspectives: a top policy maker, a senior negotiator, a leading scientist, an international lawyer and a sociologist who is observing the process. The authors identify the major problems including great power strategies (the EU, the US and Russia), leadership, the role of NGOs, capacity and knowledge building, airline industry emissions, insurance and risk transfer-instruments, problems of cost/benefit analysis, the IPCC in the post-Kyoto situation and verification and institutional design. They also identify and assess facilitation strategies designed to cope with different kinds of stumbling blocks with the goal of keeping climate discussions moving towards international agreement and long-term success.

Changing Cultural Practices

31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Anthony Biglan

£32.99 31 Aug 2011 Hardback Context Press

Researchers have made significant progress in the behavioral sciences during the last forty years, but, as a society, we have achieved few widespread cultural improvements as a result. This book offers a contextualist approach both for learning how to affect the incidence and prevalence of behavior and for changing the cultural practices that direct individual behavior. The book begins with a philosophical and theoretical framework for analyzing cultural practices and conducting research on how to change them. Then it applies this framework to important areas of cultural practice-tobacco use, childrearing, sexism, and environmental preservation. Finally, the book outlines the development of a science of changing of cultural practices.

Global Politics of Defense Reform

31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Thomas C. Bruneau, Harold A. Trinkunas

£49.00 31 Aug 2011 Hardback Palgrave Macmillan

This volume analyzes the impact of key global trends on civil-military relations by examining defense reform processes since the end of the Cold War. Civil - military relations are reconceptualized to emphasize three dimensions: civilian control of the armed forces, effectiveness in carrying out roles and missions, and efficiency in use of resources. The key global trends that affect these dimensions are the globalization of new norms and ideas, the democratization of governance, technological innovation, and economic liberalization. By focusing on defense reform processes, this book examines cases where civil-military relations can potentially alter quite rapidly under the impact of global trends. By comparing cases across Europe, Asia, North and South America, this book argues that democratization and globalization have had an outsized role in determining the timing and sequence of defense reform and the consequent impact on civil-military relations.

Democracy and Regionalization in South America

By Gian Luca Gardini

£42.50 15 Jul 2011 Hardback Palgrave Macmillan

The processes of democratization and regionalization in South America ran parallel to one another between 1985 and 1991. However, the nature of this relationship is by no means clear. This book explores the diplomatic history of the formation of Mercosur and analyzes the precise place of democracy in the process. At the methodological level, a combination of hitherto unexamined documents and extensive interview material makes for a novel oral history approach to diplomatic studies. At the theoretical level, a melding of cognitive approaches to foreign policy making and realist theory of international relations provides a nuanced but systematic explanation of events.
