Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the energy policies in the European Union and Japan in terms of electricity markets and climate action, including energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and the reduction of emissions.

The book focuses on issues of intervention, letting the research be the starting point for further plans.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Sustainability and Social Responsibility:
Book SynopsisThis book addresses key issues related to the choice between governments regulating and enforcing society’s sustainability and social responsibility objectives, and firms reporting on their sustainable and socially responsible activities so stakeholders can exert pressure on firms to achieve society’s goals. While these may be considered as the two endpoints of a continuum, it is clear that there are differing perspectives on the role of governments in sustainability and responsibility. At one end of this continuum are stakeholders who believe the only way to achieve a sustainable and socially conscious society is to establish and enforce regulations with the concomitant governmental organizations to oversee and enforce those regulations. At the other end are those who consider firms to be crucial organizations for achieving sustainability and socially responsible outcomes, and who feel it is the responsibility of stakeholders to determine the legitimacy of firms’ actions. It is probably not the case that any economies exist at either end of this continuum, but it is clear that the availability of reliable information is critical for any stakeholder to review the performance of either the governments or the firms. This book presents a varied set of papers that explore the issues that must be considered, regardless of which position a stakeholder takes.Table of Contents1.Background.- 1.1.

Her articulation of analysis with ethnographic detail is expert, yet reads effortlessly; her ability to view the political complexities of South Africa from a new theoretical angle is admirable; and her depth of understanding about what is at stake in the fight over AIDS is relevant to anyone who wonders how power works all over the globe. Ancestors and Antiretrovirals will be an iconic text for a new generation of global work, and marks the emergence of a bold new theoretical voice in sociology."

The University of Chicago Press The Private Abuse of the Public Interest Market
Book SynopsisDespite George W Bush's opposition to big government, federal spending increased under his watch more quickly than it did during the Clinton administration. This book shows that efforts to expand markets and shrink government have the ironic effect of expanding government's reach by creating problems that force legislators to enact new rules.Trade Review"Eloquently argued and written in a straightforward style that will speak to concerned citizens and scholars alike, The Private Abuse of the Public Interest addresses one of the most profound problems in governance today. In the process, it attests to unconventional truths: markets are less adept at providing policy solutions than is commonly accepted; markets and public interventions are not irreconcilable opposites; and even those most ardent about rolling back state power now recognize that government is here to stay." - Cathie Jo Martin, Boston University"

The University of Chicago Press Health Care for Some
Book SynopsisLooks at America's long tradition of unequal access to health care. This title argues that two main features have characterized the US health system: a refusal to adopt a right to care and a particularly American approach to the rationing of care.Trade Review"Beatrix Hoffman's goal is to encourage an honest debate about healthcare reform by identifying the varied forms of healthcare rationing.... It is a well-researched, readable primer on the development of the complex, fragmented US medical system.... Hoffman paints a striking picture of the human face of need." (Times Higher Education) "In the American political debate, everybody condemns the notion of 'rationing' health care. But Beatrix Hoffman's meticulous history shows that rationing-by income, age, employment, etc.-has been, and remains, a central element of America's medical system. She demonstrates that our various attempts at reform over the decades have kept the rationing mechanisms firmly in place." (T. R. Reid, author of The Healing of America: The Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care) "Beatrix Hoffman's rational, plainspoken analysis succeeds in clarifying the discourse around a topic of pressing national importance, delineating partisans' priorities, and discarding the numerous distractions." (Publishers Weekly)"

This book argues that there are profound relationships among the size and persistence of the American military complex, and growth in presidential power to launch military actions.Trade Review"Thorpe offers the most compelling argument I have seen for Congress's diminished role in the domestic politics of war during the last half-century. It's an argument, moreover, that no one has advanced so persuasively or meticulously. The American Warfare State constitutes an essential contribution to ongoing debates about the domestic politics of war." (William Howell, University of Chicago)"
