Cambridge University Press The Rise of the Unelected Democracy and the New Separation of Powers
Book SynopsisThis book examines the rise in importance of unelected bodies and the challenge they present to democracy. Frank Vibert argues that, taken together, such bodies should be viewed as a new branch of government with their own sources of legitimacy and held to account through a new separation of powers.Trade Review'This book is essential reading for all those concerned with the accountability of expert bodies, such as regulators, appointed with specific responsibilities and acting independently from ministers. Frank Vibert shows how an extension of the constitutional doctrines of the separation of powers provides a practical framework for their legitimacy. In a society increasingly dependent on knowledge, he highlights the importance of not focusing exclusively on politics as a means through which democratic societies engage in reasoned problem solving.' Sir Ian Byatt, Chairman, Water Commission for Scotland and Former Director General of Water Services (Ofwat)'Vibert is right that too little attention has been paid to the implications of widespread outsourcing of government functions to unelected bodies. Furthermore, he proposes practical ways in which the accountability gap can be filled. This is a very valuable book.' Howard Davies, Director, LSE'Frank Vibert's provocative and timely thesis represents a wake-up call to parliamentarians and all those who care about efficient, responsive and accountable public administration.' Rt Hon Lord Holme of Cheltenham, Chairman, House of Lords Select Committee on the Constitution'Vibert's analysis is unapologetically sweeping and confrontational, and like all important books, it raises as many questions as it answers.'

Cambridge University Press Foreign Intervention in Africa
Book SynopsisThis book chronicles the foreign political and military interventions in Africa from 1956 to 2010, during the periods of decolonisation and the Cold War, as well as during the periods of state collapse and the 'global war on terror', helping readers understand the historical roots of Africa's problems.Trade Review'This book is a meticulously researched study that brings together a vast body of literature in a clear and accessible way and is written by one of the leading scholars of her generation. Above all else it underscores how critical foreign intervention has been in shaping the arc of recent history throughout the continent.' Allen Isaacman, Regents Professor, University of Minnesota'Foreign Intervention in Africa, Elizabeth Schmidt's survey of external meddling in the internal affairs of African countries from the era of decolonization and the Cold War to the present period of the 'war against terror' is a masterpiece. It provides to both academics and the general public a comprehensive and very readable account of foreign interventions and their mostly negative consequences for the target nations. It also offers a new and fascinating analysis of intracontinental intervention by governments seeking to take advantage of state collapse in a neighboring country to loot its natural resources.' Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill'Elizabeth Schmidt's welcome work both broadens our field of vision and deepens our historical engagement … The work is distinguished not only by its comprehensive approach but also by its accessibility, which derives both from the book's organizational clarity and from Schmidt's unencumbered prose … This book should become a staple in courses on African history, on global issues, or on social development … It is rare to find such complexity presented with such clarity.' David Newbury, H-Diplo'Readers will find the recommended readings provided for each chapter, the excellent index, and the author's judicious weighing of evidence in complex situations useful.' C. E. Welch, Choice'An excellent synthesis of the past seventy years of African history and politics. Her book is provocative, thoughtful and passionate. It is a superb book for students, general readers as well as scholars.' Jim Lance, New Books in African Studies'Charts the impact of foreign interventions across the African continent from the end of the Second World War until 2010 … All the chapters are clearly written and provide a good level of detail to introduce undergraduate students to the topic … a well-written book that will no doubt feature prominently on undergraduate reading lists for the foreseeable future.' Andrew Cohen, African Affairs'[The book's] case studies are fleshed out enough to support Schmidt's central thesis but without getting bogged down in details that might turn away budding academics. The prose itself is clear and crisp and will not present a barrier to the layperson. … this book should be essential reading for all students of Africa, decolonization, or foreign military interventions. It is an invaluable introduction that will also hold new perspectives even for a veteran reader.'

Cambridge University Press Tales from Spandau Nazi Criminals and the Cold War
Book SynopsisSentenced to long prison sentences at the Trial of the Major War Criminals at Nuremberg, seven of Adolf Hitler's closest associates - Rudolf Hess, Albert Speer, Karl DÃnitz, Erich Raeder, Walther Funk, Konstantin von Neurath, and Baldur von Schirach - were to have become forgotten men at Berlin's Spandau Prison. Instead they became the focus of a bitter four decade tug-of-war between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies - a dispute on the fault line of the Cold War itself which drew in heads-of-state, military strategists, powerful businessmen, vocal church leaders, old-world aristocrats, international spies, and neo-Nazis. Drawing on long-secret records from four countries, Norman J. W. Goda provides an exciting new perspective on the terrifying shadow thrown by Nazi Germany on the Cold War years, and how that shadow helped to influence the Cold War itself.Trade Review"In Tales from Spandau Norman Goda demonstrates convincingly that the conditions of punishment at Spandau Prison for those convicted at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg had inevitable and divisive political repercussions. Supported by diligent research and imagination, Goda's work casts new light on diverse issues such as the Nuremberg trial, memory of the Nazi regime, and even the Cold War. It is also a fine read." -Richard Breitman, American University"Norman Goda's Tales from Spandau demonstrates what those of us who have followed his work for some time have already known: he is one of the very finest historians of Germany now in the midst of their careers in this country and around the world. His accomplishment in this book is a remarkable combination of detailed detective work in many archives, intriguing anecdotes, acute political analysis, cogent historical arguments about the trial and punishment of Nazi war criminals and a firm, subtle, sophisticated yet passionate moral compass. The much overused term "great" applies to Goda and to this very fine work. It should be required reading for anyone who takes a serious interest in the intersection of Cold War politics with the confrontation with the Nazi past in Germany." -Jeffrey Herf, University of Maryland"Despite all that has been written about Nuremberg, Norman Goda has come up with an original idea and has carried it through splendidly. Tales from Spandau looks at the intersection between the Allies' conviction of the major German war criminals and the emerging confrontation between the Soviets and the western powers. Most books examine Nuremberg retrospectively, looking back to the origins of the trial. Instead, Goda looks forward, showing how much the postwar fate of the condemned Nazi leadership, as well as the memory of their criminality, depended on the complex, charged interactions of East and West. Engagingly written, this is intelligent, informative, and imaginative history. I recommend it not only as a new examination of Nuremberg, but as a warning for those engaged in present and future reckoning with war criminals." -Michael R. Marrus, University of Toronto and author of The Holocaust in History"[a] splendid study[...] It can be enjoyed by and useful to anyone interested in World War II history, Cold War history or German history generally." -Chicago Sun-Times"[...]the work is richly and densely documented. Goda impresses with an eye for detail... Goda weaves the actions of diplomats, doctors, prisoners, their families, and guards into a story that is part Cold War politics and part the memory and legacy of Nazism. Equally commendable is Goda's ability to write objectively about the conditions at the prison and the degree to which the inmates were pawns of both domestic and foreign relations without ever lapsing into sympathy for justifiably condemned men. Lengthy chapters demolish Albert Speer and Rudolf Hess, respectively." -Jay Lockenour, Temple University, H-German"As Norman Goda makes clear in his absorbing and sometimes eloquent Tales From Spandau, the Western Allies often disagreed over what to do with the prisoners, how to handle their medical needs as they grew older and even how to arrange burial if one were to die in prison[...] The book's most compelling sections involve Speer and Hess. With painstaking research and a reliable moral compass, Mr. Goda shows how Speer began, from the outset of his imprisonment, to 'rehabilitate' himself, angling for an early release from his 20-year sentence." -Wall Street Journal"This is a masterpiece of sophisticated historical analysis on the intersections among legal history[...], Cold War diplomatic history[...], and the politics of contested memories in postwar Germany." -Gunter Bischof, University of New Orleans, American History Review"Centered on the incarceration of seven major Nazi leaders, [...], Goda has deftly woven their personal and political histories into a larger cold war history of considerable substance. [...] With this book, Goda has taken his place not only as a leading scholar of the Third Reich's afterlife, but also as a[n] historian of international justice and retribution." -Carole K. Fink, Ohio State University, The International History Review"There is much here to offer scholars interested in the history of the Third Reich and its aftermath...an interesting, informative, and at times, animated postscript to Nazism. Not only does it tell the story of the last surviving Nazis, but from an international historical perspective it is also an important case study of cold war politics and its impact on Germany." Hilary Earl, Canadian Journal of History"...an impressive work of historical scholarship." -Craig Patton, World History BulletinTable of Contents1. A tomb for the living; 2. An enduring institution; 3. Von Neurath's ashes: the battle over memory; 4. Hitler's successor: a tale of two admirals; 5. The foiled escape: Albert Speer's twenty years; 6.
