Cambridge University Press Making We the People
Book SynopsisIn 2014, Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzō announced the expansion of Japan's war powers, challenging a constitutional precedent that had been in place for seventy years. This book examines the history of Japan and Korea's post-World War II constitution-making, in order to shed light on the countries' modern legacies.Trade Review'Hahm and Kim's extraordinary intellectual achievement provides rare illumination of the crucial and deeply misunderstood concept of popular sovereignty. Their learned, elegant, and searching analysis should be an enduring part of the conversation that must be conducted if we are to make sense of our common constitutional predicament.' Gary J. Jacobsohn, H. Malcolm Macdonald Professor of Constitutional and Comparative Law, University of Texas, Austin'The simultaneous writing of constitutions in twentieth-century Japan and Korea, two countries under heavy American influence, makes an obvious candidate for comparative study yet no such work has been undertaken until now. In Making We the People, Hahm and Kim have dug deeply into both histories and their global context, offering a nuanced and thoughtful account.' Andrew Gordon, Lee and Juliet Folger Fund Professor of History, Harvard University'Hahm and Kim persuasively argue that we can only discover who 'We the People' named in a constitution are by adopting a broader spatial and temporal lens … that considers external influences, creative uses of the past, and shifting definitions of peoplehood. Making We the People thus contributes significantly to comparative constitutional studies, East Asian studies, and scholarship on nation building and democratic theory.' Celeste L. Arrington, Pacific Affairs'Making We the People, by Chaihark Hahm and Sung Ho Kim, is an important addition to the literature on comparative constitutional law generally and on constitution-making in particular, on at least two levels. I recommend it highly in relation to both. … Making We the People is a refreshing and welcome entry into this somewhat messy field. Many of the observations that the authors make, sometimes in passing, offer insights into the enterprise of constitutional renewal that ring true and deserve emphasis.'

Cambridge University Press Populism in Europe and the Americas
Book SynopsisPopulism is a buzzword in discussions about politics around the world. Using a clear theoretical framework, a collection of eminent scholars analyze populist actors - from Haider in Austria to Chávez in Venezuela - to demonstrate how populism can be both a threat and a corrective to democracy.Trade Review'Mudde and Rovira Kaltwasser's volume makes conceptual and empirical headway on what is difficult terrain. They sensibly define populism as a 'thin-centered' ideology, more akin to a political style that finds highly diverse empirical expressions in conjunction with varying specific circumstances and 'thick' beliefs about the correct social and political order. The editors have done a great job assembling a set of case studies with just the right variance to speak to the theoretical question they put front and center, namely the differential consequences of populism for democratic participation and contestation.' Herbert Kitschelt, George V. Allen Professor of International Relations, Duke University'Does populism do more damage to democracy by undermining pluralism and competition, or more good by boosting participation and inclusion? With its bold cross-regional comparisons, this interesting book establishes the conditions under which each effect prevails and thus provides a new and nuanced answer to this important question.' Kurt Weyland, University of Texas, Austin'This timely volume helps answer one of the most important questions in the study of populism, namely, how populism and democracy interrelate. Readers will be pleased not only with the book's answer, but with its empirical focus: it tests and refines its theories through case studies that cross several regions. Such an extraordinary comparative perspective not only offers powerful insights into the relationship between populist discourse, incumbency, and democratic consolidation but also demonstrates the carrying capacity of an ideational definition of populism. It shows just how far the study of populism has come in the past decade.' Kirk Hawkins, Brigham Young University'Populism in Europe and the Americas is a valuable contribution to the increasingly crowded field of populism studies … it is unique and ambitious in its aim to test empirically and systematically the effects of populism on democracy in multiple cases … The case studies are rich in insights and provide substantiation for the conclusion that populism can be a corrective as well as a threat to democracy.'

Cambridge University Press Pakistans Experience with Formal Law
Book SynopsisLaw reform in Pakistan attracts such disparate champions as the Chief Justice of Pakistan, the USAID and the Taliban. Common to their equally obsessive pursuit of ''speedy justice'' is a remarkable obliviousness to the historical, institutional and sociological factors that alienate Pakistanis from their formal legal system. This pioneering book highlights vital and widely neglected linkages between the ''narratives of colonial displacement'' resonant in the literature on South Asia''s encounter with colonial law and the region''s postcolonial official law reform discourses. Against this backdrop, it presents a typology of Pakistani approaches to law reform and critically evaluates the IFI-funded single-minded pursuit of ''efficiency'' during the last decade. Employing diverse methodologies, it proceeds to provide empirical support for a widening chasm between popular, at times violently expressed, aspirations for justice and democratically deficient reform designed in distant IFI headTrade Review'A fascinating and troubling study of Pakistan's judicial system: its history misunderstood by its acolytes, its practice unaltered by countless reforms, its operations a tribulation for its constituents. Siddique analyzes the limits of scholarly reflection and well intentioned reform by placing them alongside the perceptions, strategies and experiences of those who use the system. A powerful and broad-ranging cautionary tale.' David Kennedy, Harvard Law School'Pakistan's Experience with Formal Law is a critical exploration of a system that is simultaneously familiar and alien. It departs decisively from all the official and approved pronouncements on legal reform, combining a rich experiential account of the frustrations of law in Pakistan (and throughout South Asia) with a provocative analysis of impoverished agendas of reform that fail to address the perplexities of the post-colonial legal situation.' Marc Galanter, London School of Economics and Political Science'This book is a tour de force, bringing together the often forgotten history of British law in colonial India with the important if not at all encouraging story of massively foreign funded rule of law programs in present day Pakistan. The history is a crisp summary, followed by a fascinating first person participant observer report of how rule of law projects actually operate, and a pioneering empirical study of litigation on the ground in a provincial court. Siddique's innovative multi-disciplinary approach could be a model for similar breakthroughs across the global south.' Duncan Kennedy, Harvard Law School'The major themes that Siddique develops and methods that he employs set the book apart from most legal scholarship. Political and other historical context informs the description of legal doctrine and its evolution during the period discussed. He deplores the inadequate attention given to Pakistan's colonial past and its effects on post-colonial Pakistan's legal system, discourse and reform projects. Discussion ranges from the theoretical framework to descriptions derived from empirical methods of the ordinary lives and experiences of those subject to that system. The author's critical sense is at work throughout, from evaluation of historical and contemporary approaches to law reform to the use by outside funders of notions like efficiency to direct reform projects. Vaut le voyage.' Henry J. Steiner, Emeritus, Harvard Law School'Osama Siddique has produced a theoretically informed and historically grounded study of Pakistans engagement with formal law. This book makes a compelling argument that history matters and the perceptions of ordinary citizens are relevant in crafting a meaningful course towards legal reform. Historians, lawyers, social scientists and policy-makers will read it with profit.' Sugata Bose, Harvard UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Cambridge University Press Judges Beyond Politics in Democracy and Dictatorship
Book SynopsisThis book examines different hypotheses about Chilean judicial behavior before, during, and after the authoritarian interlude. The book explores arguments based on judges' personal policy preferences, social class, and legal philosophy, but contends that institutional features, grounded in the ideal of 'apoliticism', best explain judges' conservative and conformist conduct.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… thoughtful, engaging study … Judges beyond Politics is a beautifully written, succinct and engaging book that should be read by those interested in Chilean political history as well as students of law and politics, comparative politics, and human rights.' Journal of Latin American StudiesReview of the hardback: '… the best available book on why Chile's judges have hitherto tended to facilitate and condone illiberal, antidemocratic, and anti-legal policies, and why these tendencies persist with respect to civil rights in general, beyond the Pinochet-era human rights cases.' Journal of Law and SocietyReview of the hardback: 'Lisa Hilbink's new book, Judges beyond Politics in Democracy and Dictatorship: Lessons from Chile, responds to one of the central questions of … recent research: when will judges act to bolster democracy and individual rights and when will they act to bolster authoritarianism and impunity? She provides a compelling response to this question based on the Chilean case.' Journal of PoliticsTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Cambridge University Press State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain Republics of the Possible
Book SynopsisThe growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective onTrade Review'… this is a quite outstanding volume of comparative historical sociology on the Hispanic world … This suggestive and intellectually refreshing quality owes much to the care with which the editors have designed a volume that plainly derives for an extended period of collaboration.' James Dunkerley, Journal of Global Faultlines'The great strength of this book, which will make people return to it again and again, lies in this integrated approach.

Cambridge University Press Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule
Book SynopsisAimed at scholars of American Indians, early North America, and colonial Mexico, this book explores how Apache groups negotiated peace and adapted to Spanish and Mexican colonialism. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it combines Spanish documents from archives in Spain, Mexico, and the US, with anthropology, archaeology, and Ndé (Apache) oral history.Trade Review'Deeply researched and lucidly argued, Matthew Babcock's Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule casts fresh light on an important, if long-ignored, aspect of borderlands and Apache history: the establecimientos de paz of the late Spanish and early Mexican era.' Karl Jacoby, Columbia University, New York, and author of Shadows at Dawn: A Borderlands Massacre and the Violence of History'Apaches de paz creates a culturally sensitive framework for the history of the Ndé people in northern Mexico and southwestern US. Focused on the late eighteenth-century reserves that were established by Spanish colonial policy but shaped by the different Athapaskan bands who settled in them while maintaining their ethnic territories; this well-researched study opens new interpretations for the complexity of inter-ethnic relations in these borderlands.' Cynthia Radding, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill'Generations before the US built its notorious reservation system, Spain created its own military-run reservations in an effort to dominate and transform Apaches. That effort failed in a most interesting way. As Matthew Babcock explains in this prodigiously researched and judiciously argued book, negotiation always trumped domination, and the transformations went both ways.' Brian DeLay, University of California, Berkeley'An excellent summary of the Hispanic reservation system that will appeal to area specialists and to general readers interested in Apache and Borderlands history. It should prove especially useful for comparative studies with the later reservation policies implemented by the United States.' Mark Santiago, Western Historical Quarterly'Unlike most scholarship on the Apaches, Babcock's focus is not so much on violence and warfare as on diplomacy and peace. His study is also significant for its inclusion not just of the well-known Chiricahuas, but also the Western, Mescalero, and Lipan Apaches. … This book is thoroughly researched and well written, and its arguments are cogently presented. Its broad chronological and topical scope will appeal to ethnohistorians and borderlands scholars, as well as those with an interest in colonial New Spain, the U.S. Southwest, Native American history, and the evolution of Indian policy. Readers will come away with a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the colonial events leading up to the resistance of famous nineteenth-century Apache figures like Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, Victorio, and Geronimo.' William S. Kiser, The American Historical Review'… Babcock's thoroughly documented, clearly written, and cogently argued essay is a mandatory reference for specialists, and highly recommended for scholars and educated readers interested in the US - Mexico borderlands as well as Native American, western US, and colonial Latin American history. It can also be profitably used to teach undergraduates.' Joaquín Rivaya-Martínez, Southwestern Historical QuarterlyTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Peace and war; 2. Precedents; 3.
