Springer International Publishing AG Russia, China and the Revisionist Assault on the
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes Russian and Chinese revisionism in the face of US and Western post-Cold War liberal international order building and asks why both powers have turned revisionist in the late 2000s. The study develops a neoclassical realist model of international order building and contestation and posits to view revisionism as a strategic choice. States go revisionist if the status quo international order threatens their vital security needs (broadly defined not only as territorial security, but also political, economic, normative and ontological) and if they have the means to challenge the undesirable status quo. Russia and China were both unhappy with the post-Cold War international order of American designs, but had to opt for accommodation in the 1990s and early 2000s (“strategic accommodation” in the Chinese case, “resentful accommodation” in the Russian case), before revisionism became even more of a necessity and a real policy option from the late 2000s onward (“constructive revisionism” in the Chinese case, “destructive revisionism” in the Russian case). The author calls for a policy of neo-containment to counter Moscow’s and Beijing’s efforts to game and erode the international order.Table of ContentsPart I: Introduction.- Chapter 1: Enduring Rivals: The Return of Great Power Politics between Russia, China and the West.- Part II: Theory of International Order Building and Revisionism.- Chapter 2: Falling Short: International Order and Revisionism in IR Theory.- Chapter 3: Strategic Choices: Neoclassical Realist Model of Order and Revisionism.- Part III: Western Triumph & Non-western Accommodation in the 1990s.- Chapter 4: False History: Globalization of the US-led Liberal West and its Delusions.- Chapter 5: Russia’s Fall: Resentful Accommodation to Grim Post-Cold War Realities.- Chapter 6: China’s Rise: Strategic Accommodation to Post-Cold War Opportunities.- Part IV: Western Crisis & Anti-western Revisionism From the Late 2000s.- Chapter 7: Return of History: Outgrowth amidst Erosion of the US-led Liberal Order.- Chapter 8: Russia’s Nightmare: Destructive Revisionism for Great Power Survival.- Chapter 9: China’s Dream: Constructive Revisionism for “Great Rejuvenation”.- Part V: Conclusion.- Chapter 10: Geopolitical Realities: The Case for Neo-Containment against Russia and China.

Springer Globalization: Prerequisites, Effects,
Book SynopsisThis textbook deals with the progressive global dissolution of political, economic, and social boundaries, which has significant implications for labor markets, the international division of labor, social security, and income distribution. Politically, it is eroding the sovereign ability of nation-states to shape their own affairs; socially, it conjures up the specter of an increasingly global culture of unity. Against the background of the empirical effects of globalization processes in a number of areas, the book discusses to what extent these fears are justified, whether they cannot also be explained by other developments, and whether the benefits of globalization justify the costs and risks resulting from it.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Globalization and technological development: production, transport and communication.- Political globalization: democracy, international organizations and global civil society.- Trade.- Foreign investment.- World financial flows.- Migration and globalization.- Globalization and employment.- Globalization and income distribution.- Statehood.- Globalization and the welfare state.- Globalization and democracy.- Globalization and culture.- Globalization and its adversaries.- Global governance.- Drying up of the sources of globalization or resilience.

The University of Chicago Press Buffalo Bill in Bologna The Americanization of
Book SynopsisReveals that the globalization of American mass culture that seems unstoppable today began as early as the mid-nineteenth century. This book narrates how the circuses, amusement parks, vaudeville, mail-order catalogs, dime novels, and movies that developed after the Civil War actually doubled as agents of American cultural diplomacy abroad.Trade Review"The book illuminates its subject brilliantly.... The lively, absorbing, and unusually insightful text wears its learning gracefully and, perhaps unexpectedly, alludes to older notions of American exceptionalism in explaining the national talent for cultural entrepreneurship."

The University of Chicago Press Buffalo Bill in Bologna
Book SynopsisAs symbols of America's version of the good life, cultural products became a primary means for people around the world, especially in Europe, to reimagine both America and themselves in the context of America's growing global sphere of influence.Trade Review"The results of a unique collaboration between American and European authors, Buffalo Bill in Bologna is a graceful re-examination of the origins of America's cultural domination at home and abroad. Robert Rydell and Rob Kroes refashion conventional wisdom by showing that mass culture served as an instrument for promoting American values well before World War I. While this topic has been amply covered for the twentieth century, it is virtually untouched for the nineteenth. Thus breaking new ground, Buffalo Bill in Bologna will be appreciated by readers on both sides of the Atlantic." - Mick Gidley, University of Leeds"

The University of Chicago Press Birth of Hegemony
Book SynopsisWith American leadership facing increased competition from China and India, the question of how hegemons emerge - and are able to create conditions for lasting stability - is of utmost importance in international relations. The author draws attention to the critical role played by finance in the emergence of these liberal hegemons.Trade Review"As the United States faces both military and economic challenges to its international status, Birth of Hegemony speaks to important and timely debates. Drawing on the insights of political science, history, finance, and economics, Andrew C. Sobel provides a masterly critique of existing hegemonic theories, extending our understanding of how states develop into international leaders and how they stabilize the global system." (William T.

The University of Chicago Press The Eyes of the World Mining the Digital Age in
Book SynopsisTrade Review"The Eyes of the World is a groundbreaking, brilliantly written book about Congo’s place in the global economy. Smith places artisanal miners of coltan at the center of his study. Contrary to most popular views of the Congolese as victims of global corporations and brutal state authorities, miners recognize their value as experienced workers who often can protect their interests. . . . Smith deftly weaves insights drawn from an array of anthropological theory with gripping, moving case studies of individual miners and mining sites. . . . Strikingly, Smith shows how Western efforts to crack down on 'blood diamonds' end up, in actuality, to be a tool to weaken the leverage of artisanal miners and allow wily state authorities to cash in on their ability to selectively enforce their will on Congolese workers. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the Democratic Republic of Congo today." * Choice *"Chock-full of fascinating details on the people and communities that have lived off mining in the chaos of the wars in Congo." * Foreign Affairs *"Beautiful and evocative. . . . Smith produces one of the richest and most thought-provoking ethnographies I have read in a very long time. The Eyes of the World is likely to become an anthropological classic." * Reviews in Anthropology *“Blood minerals: a global cause ‘intended to do one thing, but under the surface, invisible to many, . . . doing something else.’ Smith offers a whirlwind of research on the varied actors who extract coltan—often in the ruins of colonial concessions—making it available to international markets. The Eyes of the World skillfully cuts through metropolitan stereotypes, drawing readers instead into the astounding vortex of the mines.” * Anna Tsing, coeditor of Feral Atlas: The More-than-Human Anthropocene *“A riveting, wonderful potpourri of story, theory, and history. The Eyes of the World hugs closely to people’s lives, words, and theories, vividly unpacking multiple dimensions of movement in the mining of those digital minerals that end up in global devices. One of the most brilliant, important, and utterly teachable ethnographies to appear on Congo in a long time.” * Nancy Rose Hunt, author of A Nervous State: Violence, Reveries, and Remedies in Colonial Congo *“Smith gives us a rare glimpse into the complex dynamics of otherwise largely invisible local worlds that do nonetheless matter on a global scale. A great observer and talented narrator, he convincingly argues how, in the vortex of these Congolese mining worlds, destructive forms of extra-statecraft undid existing socio-cultural assemblages while generating the basis for new transformative orders.” * Filip De Boeck, author of Suturing the City: Living Together in Congo’s Urban Worlds *"Smith’s book is bound to become a classic in the anthropology of mining and the conflict minerals literature. . . . This book is an absolute joy to read and sets the bar very high for future researchers working on the issue of conflict minerals. This is mining anthropology at its very best." * The Journal of Development Studies *Table of ContentsPart One: Orientations Prologue: An Introduction to the Personal, Methodological, and Spatiotemporal Scales of the Project 1.

The University of Chicago Press Challenges of Globalization in the Measurement of
Book SynopsisAn essential collection at the intersection of globalization, production supply chains, corporate finance regulation, and economic measurement. The substantial increase in the complexity of global supply chains and other production arrangements over the past three decades has challenged some traditional measures of national income account aggregates and raised the potential for distortions in conventional calculations of GDP and productivity. This volume examines a variety of multinational business activities and assesses their impact on economic measurement. Several chapters consider how global supply chains complicate the interpretation of traditional trade statistics and how new measurement techniques can provide information about global production arrangements. Other chapters examine the role of intangible capital in global production, including the output of factoryless goods producers and the problems of measuring R&D in a globalized world. The studies in this volume also explTable of ContentsPrefatory Note Introduction Nadim Ahmad, Brent R. Moulton, J. David Richardson, and Peter van de Ven I. Underlying Measurement Challenges 1.

Indiana University Press Global Heartland
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIn Faranak Miraftab's book, Global Heartland, the life of the meatpacker is vividly brought to life. Miraftab studies the lived-realities of meatpacking laborers to understand how the industry has influenced the economic revitalization and social transformation of the small, rural community of Beardstown, Illinois, while arguing that the thriving economy and cultural diversity successes of the area obscure larger narratives about the unequal global ties that enabled these changes. * Antipode *Faranak Miraftab's powerful and, at times, very personal study of the meat-packing industry in Beardstown, Illinois, offers an exemplary analysis of the relational character of place. The book challenges us to think seriously about places that are all too often located at the periphery of mainstream urban theory. * AAG Review of Books *The depth and breadth of this book show it was a decade in the making. Miraftab has carried out a rich multi-sited ethnography to help us understand the transbordering factors and relations that produce and revitalize Beardstown, a meatpacking town in Illinois. * International Journal of Urban and Regional Research *Table of ContentsIntroductionPart I.

Indiana University Press Paprika Foie Gras and Red Mud
Book SynopsisIn this original and provocative study, Zsuzsa Gille examines three scandals that have shaken Hungary since it joined the European Union: the 2004 ban on paprika due to contamination, the 2008 boycott of Hungarian foie gras by Austrian animal rights activists, and the red mud spill of 2010, Hungary's worst environmental disaster. In each case, Gille analyzes how practices of production and consumption were affected by the proliferation of new standards and regulations that came with entry into the EU. She identifies a new modality of powerthe materialization of politics, or achieving political goals with the seemingly apolitical tools of tinkering with technology and infrastructureand elucidates a new approach to understanding globalization, materiality, and transnational politics.Trade ReviewI recommend this book to undergraduates as well as graduate students studying various disciplines regarding social, ethical, legal, and economical questions about the (supra)national handling of food-security, animal-welfare, and the storage of toxic waste — topics that should concern everybody of us. * Europe Now *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Hungary and the EU in the Political and Scholarly Imagination1.
