Cambridge University Press Taiwan and the Danger of a SinoAmerican War
Book SynopsisThe author presents contrarian arguments contesting mainstream US views on the danger of a Sino-American war over Taiwan''s status. They contend that these countries'' dispute about Taiwan is motivated by opposing strategic interests and security concerns rather than just, or even mainly, clashing values such as national reunification, sovereignty, democracy, and self-determination. The danger of a Sino-American confrontation has become more elevated recently due to a confluence of several concurrent developments. Despite this increased danger compared to any time since Richard Nixon visited Beijing in 1972, they conclude that war is not imminent or likely-barring extreme hardliners and radical nationalists taking over policymaking in Beijing, Taipei and/or Washington. Despite a rising chorus urging Washington to commit more firmly to Taiwan''s defense, they argue that the United States will not likely intervene directly on Taiwan''s behalf. Even more controversially, they submit that Beijing will eventually prevail in this dispute.

Cambridge University Press A History of Humanitarian Intervention
Book SynopsisThe question of ''humanitarian intervention'' has been a staple of international law for around 200 years, with a renewed interest in the history of the subject emerging in the last twenty years. This book provides a chronological account of the evolution of the discussion and uncovers the fictional narrative provided by international lawyers to support their conclusions on the subject, from justifications and arguments for ''humanitarian intervention'', the misrepresentation of great power involvement in the Greek War of Independence in 1827, to the ''humanitarian intervention that never was'', India''s war with Pakistan in 1971. Relying on a variety of sources, some of them made available in English for the first time, the book provides an undogmatic, alternative history of the fight for the protection of human rights in international law.Trade Review'A masterpiece of intellectual history. In his provocative and insightful reconstruction of the doctrine and practice of humanitarian intervention, Mark Swatek-Evenstein transcends boldly and elegantly the boundaries between law, history and politics, and examines the narrative foundations of one of the most controversial issues in international law. This important book challenges conventional accounts of the international legal order, its past and present.' Alexandra Kemmerer, Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law'Do we have to watch passively dictators slaying their population, respecting the sovereignty of this state, or do we have an obligation to intervene for moral or even legal reasons? Drawing on a rich array of sources in several languages, Swatek-Evenstein analyzes the emergence of a legal discourse of 'humanitarian intervention'. By pointing to the constructed nature of the doctrine that developed out of this discourse, the book offers a fresh perspective on the legal and political debates surrounding cross-border military interventions undertaken in the name of human rights. This is an indispensable work for scholars and students of international law, global history, genocide studies, and human rights that challenges assumptions about international responses to national crises.' Mathias Schmoeckel, Executive Director of the Institute of German and Rhenish Legal History and Civil Law, University of Bonn'The legitimacy and legality of humanitarian interventions still pose considerable controversy in international law. By offering us an in-depth analysis of the history of humanitarian interventions and their respective justifications, the author provides many instructive insights into what is at stake when we talk about international law, its use and its misuse. This book is a very worthwhile read.' Gerd Hankel, Hamburg Foundation for the Advancement of Research and Culture'A complete intellectual history of humanitarian intervention requires more than the reconstruction of international legal doctrines. An exacting account would historicize the notion of 'the humanitarian', and examine how and why it is mobilized by politicians and justified by international lawyers to legitimise invasions of other countries. Mark Swatek-Evenstein's brilliant A History of Humanitarian Intervention casts an unsentimental eye on this controversial and all-too-current topic to explain what we are doing when we invoke humanity and mass atrocity in international law and relations.' A. Dirk Moses, University of Sydney'This is the product of an extremely sophisticated academic exercise not only about the history of humanitarian intervention but also about its development parallel to the development of an international legal framework. Although the book is written by a legal scholar, his interdisciplinary research method and analysis reflect an academic outcome that serves the purposes of the current multilayer scholarly environment. This book should be an indispensable reference for legal historians, international lawyers, experts in international relations and everyone who is interested in the overlap between law, politics and history. Swatek-Evenstein's lucid scholarship sheds light into pertinent legal developments in the field of humanitarian intervention and for this reason this is a book of great importance and relevance.' Maria Varaki, King's College London'A thoughtfully argued, rigorously researched, and lucidly written account of the emergence of 'humanitarian intervention' in modern history and international law. Swatek-Evenstein combines pithy case-studies of interventions over the past two centuries with a highly nuanced reading of the legal and political debates surrounding this enduringly controversial concept.' Adam Jones, University of British Columbia'It is true that that the literature on humanitarian intervention is voluminous, but this book nonetheless adds a new dimension to it through the novel focus it adopts. […] It will provide fresh, challenging insights for any student of humanitarian intervention specifically, but international law more generally.' Liverpool Law Review'It will provide fresh, challenging insights for any student of humanitarian intervention specifically, but international law more generally.' Gary Wilson, Liverpool Law ReviewTable of Contents1. The battlegrounds of a history of 'humanitarian intervention'; 2. A history of 'humanitarian intervention' in nineteenth-century international law; 3. Humanitarian intervention in the era of the league of nations; 4. The world after 1945.

Cambridge University Press Globalization and Mass Politics Retaining the Room to Maneuver Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes how increases in international trade, finance, and production have altered voter decisions, political party positions, and the types of public issues that parties focus on in postindustrial democracies. Although many studies interrogate whether internationalization matters in regard to policy outcomes and how globalization relates to mass protest, few examine globalization and mass politics more generally. This book argues that by reducing the room in which to maneuver in policy making, globalization reduces the importance of economic-based issues while increasing the electoral importance of non-economic issues. The argument is tested on original and existing data sources.Trade Review'Timothy Hellwig draws several new and fascinating implications from his pioneering argument that globalization reduces the propensity of an electorate to reward and punish incumbent politicians for the state of the domestic economy. Here, we have a convincing explanation for the reorientation of domestic political competition around noneconomic issues in Western democracies: globalization crowds out contestation over economic policy. This is the rare work that will attract interest from both voting behavior scholars and political economists.' Andy Baker, University of Colorado, Boulder'Economic globalization doesn't so much constrain democracy as transform it, shifting the locus of politics from economic to more noneconomic issues of voter and policy maker contestation. This is the central, controversial message of Hellwig's important book, which promises to be seminal in debates on the future of democratic politics in our globalization age.' Brian Burgoon, University of AmsterdamTable of Contents1. Globalization and democracy in advanced industrial societies; 2. Theoretical framework: political demand and supply in globalized economies; 3. The world economy and the composition of policy demands; 4. Globalization and the attribution of responsibility; 5. Globalization and the shifting bases of retrospective voting; 6. Position issues and voter choice in open economies; 7. Representational linkages and the room to maneuver; 8. Credible responses: globalization, parties, and the supply side; 9. Conclusion.
