International relations Books

Book SynopsisA sequel to ""Peace Pact"", in which the author identified a 'unionist paradigm' that defined America's political understanding in 1787, this book examines how that paradigm was transformed under the impact of the great wars that followed. It challenges accepted interpretations of America's role in the world.Trade ReviewAmericans tend to see their history as a parade of events. Yet at the very core of that history has been a debate over ideas and ideology. Hendrickson's brilliant book recounts and reassesses that debate with originality and penetrating insight. Andrew J. Bacevich, author of American Empire: The Realities and Consequences of U.S. Diplomacy ""An original and important work, marked by graceful erudition and judiciousness.... A worthy sequel to Hendrickson's acclaimed Peace Pact: The Lost World of the American Founding."" David Mayers, author of Dissenting Voices in America's Rise to Power ""A terrific book and magnificent achievement."" Peter S. Onuf, author of Jefferson's Empire: The Language of American Nationhood

Book SynopsisThere is more to defense than military might and more to the military than a fighting force. At a moment of global upheaval and political uncertainty, this timely volume defines and reframes the terms of defense engagement - the use of military capabilities to exert soft power (influence) as opposed to hard power (military force).Trade ReviewDefense diplomacy is an understudied and underappreciated role of the armed forces. This volume highlights how defense diplomacy has worked over time and in a number of different historical contexts. As an introduction to the practical applications and issues involved, this book is both a useful and stimulating read." - Matthew C. Ford, senior lecturer, University of Sussex"There is much talk about 'bridge books' that scholars, practitioners, and interested general readers can all learn from and value. There is even more talk about 'filling a gap in our knowledge.' Some books achieve one of those objectives. Defense Engagement since 1900 is a rare and impressive example of a volume that does both." - Brian P. Farrell, professor of history, National University of Singapore

Book SynopsisUses the social theory of bargaining to look at the daily compromises we make with technology. Specifically, Robert Pallitto explores whether resisting these ‘bargains’ is still possible when the technologies in question are backed by persuasive, even coercive, corporate and state power.Trade ReviewBargaining with the Machine explores the contractual relationship between the user of a technology or service and the provider of it. A user of a technology or service is confronted with an 'irresistible bargain': in order to take advantage of the service the user must surrender some privacy by agreeing to surveillance measures. The user cannot alter the terms and has therefore only the option of rejecting the offer altogether, which comes at the cost of convenience. Robert M. Pallitto makes a convincing case that most people will enter the bargain without even considering the consequences or implications and that often the individual benefits are far less than the risks that can result from subjecting oneself to surveillance measures. The book contains excellent analysis and many fascinating insights that make it an important contribution to the study of surveillance."" - Dr. Armin Krishnan, associate professor and director of security studies at East Carolina University""With philosophical insight and social science circumspection, Robert M. Pallitto lifts the veil of plausibility from the injurious bargains we make with contemporary American culture."" - Albert Borgmann, author of Real American Ethics: Taking Responsibility for Our Country

Book SynopsisDemonstrates that Franklin D. Roosevelt’s rhetoric, vision, and policies promoted a broadly defined sense of American security over a period of thirty-three years, ultimately helping elevate security to its primacy in US political discourse by the end of his presidency.Trade ReviewThis pathbreaking book examines the origins of Franklin Roosevelt’s worldview and his deft use of ‘security-laden’ rhetoric to sway the American people. Roosevelt’s focus on eliminating ‘fear’ and ‘insecurity’ became the cornerstone of American foreign policy, shaping the thinking of his successors for well over eighty years. Ira Chernus and Randall Fowler have written an impressive study of breathtaking scope, challenging much of the conventional wisdom surrounding both FDR and the main tenets of the nation’s foreign policy. This is scholarship as it should be—a must-read for all students of presidential rhetoric and of national security policymaking." - Stephen Knott, author of and Lost Soul of the American Presidency: The Decline into Demagoguery and the Prospects for RenewalTable of Contents Preface Abbreviations Introduction: None Who Can Make Us Afraid Part I 1.

Book SynopsisFocuses on global structures that are producing patterns of North/South and rich/poor domination, as well as exerting dangerous pressures on the carrying capacities of the planet, arguing that any hopeful response to these threatening developments requires the fundamental revision of such basic ideas as sovereignty, democracy and security.Trade Review"With impressive sweep, Professor Falk provides a lucid account of late twentieth-century international trends and what he sees as the state-centric and market-driven orientation of global governance.

Their assessments will be informative to most undergraduate students about the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and other actors and their conceptions of humanitarianism, neutrality and impartially ... a useful addition that furthers our understanding of action in internationalised internal conflicts after the cold war." Survival "[A] timely book ... insightful [with] direct relevance to both practitioners and scholars of humanitarian intervention ... Easily accessible and generally a highly useful source of knowledge for students of humanitarian intervention, the well-informed conceptual framework makes it a valuable contribution to the academic field in general."

Book SynopsisUntil the late 1980s, there were very few democratically elected governments in the developing world. These areas were characterized by a range of authoritarian regimes from military administrations to one--party dictatorships.Trade Review'The 'third wave' of democratisation of the last 25 years has served to universalise the concerns of political scientists about democracy and the conditions which sustain and consolidate it. Jeff Haynes has written a comprehensive and highly readable introduction to these questions, drawing on a wide range of theoretical approaches and comparative studies. The book will be of great value to lecturers and students alike working in this field.' Adrian Leftwich, University of York "Democracy in the Developing World is impressive in the breadth of its scope and the depth of its theoretical arguments and empirical analysis. The author offers a thoughtful and provocative theory of democratic consolidation, testing it against a rich array of case studies drawn from the developing world. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the comparative study of the developing world or the dynamics of democratization." Mehran Kamrava, California State University "The text is methodically organised and Haynes' expression is uniformly clear."

Book Synopsis* Clear, accessible introduction to the role of social movement in world politics * Offers an historical and comparative account of the development and impact of social movements ion the international order * Develops a new conception of international civil society and its role in international relations .Trade Review"Alejandro Colás takes a critical, and historically informed, look at the international spread of social movements, and of what is termed "civil society". Stressing that the components of civil society are in their very origins international, and that they have done much to shape the international system itself, Colás at the same time questions much prevailing analysis of the direction and impact of such groups. At once engaged and rigorous, this book will be of interest to students of international relations, politics and sociology, as much as it will challenge those who are engaged in international civil society itself." Fred Halliday, London School of Economics and Political Science “It is no exaggeration to say that International Civil Society is probably the best single IR volume on this topic. In a set of tightly-argued and well-written chapters, Colas seeks to bring some much needed rigour to the ongoing debates about what is more commonly dubbed global civil society, themselves a significant part of the larger debates about globalization.” MillenniumTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Book SynopsisThe terms 'global' and 'civil society' have both become part of the contemporary political lexicon. In this important new book, Mary Kaldor argues that this is no coincidence and that the reinvention of civil society has to be understood in the context of globalization.Trade Review"Highly recommended." Choice "A powerfully persuasive book ... a must-read for students of politics, practitioners, activists, journalists, and anyone engaged in public activism." Perspectives on Political Science "In Global Civil Society, [Kaldor] is particularly concerned with the importance of nonstate actors in international relations, working within the constructivist tradition of international relations from an activist perspective. When she examines the theoretical roots and contemporary development of global civil society, she is hardlt a disinterested observer. ...In short, in assessing Global Civil Society, it is important to recognize both Kaldor's intellectual honesty and her explicit political commitments. She examines literature and events to develop an arguement about how to promote peace in the future. Thus, this book is a theoretical and political treatise, informed by Kaldor's reading of theory and history and also by her experience as an activist. ...Global Civil Society is a short, sharp read that is organized around a clear argument. It should be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of scholars interested in peace, war, and global civil society." David S. Meyer, University of California, IrvineTable of ContentsPreface.

Book SynopsisThe world of international relations has changed radically in the last few years. Technological, social and political change have combined to undermine the traditional assumptions of diplomacy -- in particular, the events of 11 September set in stark relief the risks and dangers.Trade Review"Shaun Riordan takes a radically iconoclastic look at traditional diplomacy and concludes that it cannot cope with the new dilemmas of globalization, state failure and unconventional warfare. Based on his own experience as a serving diplomat and wide scholarship, Riordan’s seminal book will be a vital resource for anyone who wants to understand the realities of the developing international system." Professor John Gray, London School of Economics and Political Science "The New Diplomacy is a gripping, pacey and controversial jaunt through the enormous changes to the diplomatic environment since the end of the Cold War. Mixing the experience of a practitioner with some of the most important academic work on diplomacy and international relations, this book is required reading for any government, company or individual who wants to make sense of life in an interdependent world." Mark Leonard, Foreign Policy Centre "This short, lively and coherent book critizises the culture of traditional diplomatic services ... The book will provoke both the ire and interest of diplomats, but also of scholars, company executives and civic organizations" Political Studies ReviewTable of ContentsPreface. 1. Introduction. 2.

Book SynopsisWhat is the West? Why does it need to be defended? From what, by whom, and how? These are thorny questions that international society must grapple with in order to meet the security challenges of the 21st Century. This little book provides answers to these questions.Trade Review'If, as I believe, there is no more important task in international relations in the 21st century than re-joining the imperatives of strategy with the legitimating structures of law, then Defending the West is a very important work indeed. Rich and accessible, it charts the way forward.' -- Philip Bobbitt, A.W.

Book SynopsisPower has been compared to the weather: people discuss it all the time, but very few really understand it. This book seeks to demystify this complex concept by providing students with an incisive and engaging introduction to the shifting configurations of power in the contemporary global order. Drawing on the work of leading international relations scholars, philosophers and sociologists, the analysis goes beyond simplistic views of power as material capability, focusing also on its neglected social dimensions. These are developed and explored through a detailed examination of the changing international role, status and capacities of the United States, Russia and China since the end of the Cold War. Far from achieving multipolarity, the book concludes that the contemporary world remains essentially unipolar; America having moved to correct the mistakes of George W.

Book SynopsisAfter Terror presents sustained reflections by some of the world''s most celebrated thinkers on the most pressing question of our time: how can we find ways to defuse the ticking bombs of terrorism and excessive interventions against it?

Book SynopsisThe ideas of Hans Morgenthau dominated the study of international politics in the United States for many decades. He was the leading representative of Realist international relations theory. This title provides a comprehensive introduction to Morgenthau's ideas, and assesses their significance for political theory and international politics.Trade Review"Once in a while a book comes along that breathes new life into an old topic. Scheuerman's book on Morgenthau accomplishes this task admirably." Perspectives on Politics "Scheuerman’s introduction is the introduction Hans Morgenthau deserves: focusing on the intellectual life of the Weimar Republic and on other émigré scholars such as Hannah Arendt not only shows where Morgenthau’s epistemology and ontology were grounded, but the author also does away with the still common misreading of Hans Morgenthau as the founding father of a predominantly structural realism." International Affairs "As a scholarly endeavor teasing out the nuances and ambiguities and historical tendencies in Morgenthau's evolving corpus, Scheuerman's book does not disappoint." SAIS Review "Scheuerman rightly describes Morgenthau as an uneasy realist; he recognized the importance of power but also the dangers involved in the pursuit and exercise of power. His focus was accordingly as much on agency and ethics as it was on structural attributes of the international system. Scheuerman describes a thinker of particular relevance to our time and his thoughtful analysis of the evolution of Morgenthau's thought makes his book an essential read to anyone with a serious interest in international relations." Richard Ned Lebow, Dartmouth College "Few thinkers have been so influential and yet so misunderstood as Hans Morgenthau. William Scheuerman's superb study provides both a comprehensive reconstruction of Morgenthau's thinking and a challenging interpretation of its contemporary significance. Sweeping in its breadth and finely balanced in its judgments, this is not only a defining work of intellectual history; it is also a first-rate work of international political theory in its own right." Michael Williams, University of Ottawa "Once more the tired old cliche about realism being an apologia for power and a rationalization for the status quo is put to the sword in Bill Scheuerman's great new book. Indeed if he is right - and that twentieth century realism emerged out of debates on the inter-war left and not as the natural heir of some two thousand year tradition dating back to Thucydides - then we will have to rethink the history of contemporary International Relations in more ways than one. A brilliant and iconoclastic study of one of the greats of IR."

Book SynopsisWhy does ethnic conflict remain one of the major security challenges in today's world? Can we avoid another Rwanda in the future? How was it possible, after almost four decades, to achieve a lasting settlement for the conflict in Northern Ireland, while the conflict in Kashmir remains unresolved after more than sixty years? These and other questions are the focus of this book. Investigating the causes and consequences of ethnic conflict, the authors argue that the most effective responses are those that take into account factors at the local, state, regional and global level and which avoid seeking simplistic explanations and solutions to what is a truly complex phenomenon. What matters most for understanding ethnic conflicts are the choices that people makeleaders and followers alikeand not a set of mysterious unknowable forces. Once we know that ethnic conflicts are not difficult to understand, but that there is a lot to understand about them, we can also appreciate that tTrade Review"A welcome blend of readability, originality, and utilisation of informed writing on ethnic conflict in its comparative and international settings." New Zealand International Review "This volume reflects the cutting edge of scholarship on ethnic conflict by two leading scholars in the field. An invaluable addition to the literature." Richard Caplan, University of Oxford "This important work expertly reviews the causes of ethnic conflict in order to develop persuasive recommendations for successful conflict-management intervention. Going beyond traditional texts, the volume reflects the latest research on the external causes of internal conflicts. Cordell and Wolff integrate theory with practice, and keep the book very timely, through a series of in-depth case studies of recent ethnic conflicts. This is an impressive work of scholarship, ideal for introductory courses on ethnic conflict and conflict management."

Book SynopsisInternational responses to the outbreak of SARS, the spread of HIV/AIDS, and the promotion of health as a human right all demonstrate how global politics have a profound effect on the way we think about and respond to major health challenges. Despite a growing interest in the relationship between health and international relations there has yet to be a systematic study of the links between them. Global Health Issues aims to fill this gap ultimately showing how world politics can be good, or bad, for your health. This book calls for a more nuanced understanding of the nature of the current global health crisis and the political dilemmas faced by those responsible for the development and implementation of responses to it. By charting these debates and showing how they shape the way actors think about key issues relating to health, such as people movement; infectious disease; the business of health; and the consequences of war; this volume provides an innovative and comprehensTrade Review"A significant theoretical and empirical contribution, which deserves consideration by scholars, advanced students and international health practitioners. I thoroughly recommend it."International Affairs "[Davies] draws skilfully on a variety of literatures ... to map the political dimensions of global public health, and pinpoints precisely the disquieting conclusions that result from such an exercise."Network "Davies' text is particularly useful in providing a critique of recent efforts to incorporate health within the traditional logics of the field."Cambridge Review of International Affairs "A well researched, well written and enjoyable book on global health that covers a vast array of topics without ever being too technical."Dr M.

Book SynopsisThe war on terror is a lost cause. As the war heads towards its second decade, American security policy is in disarray - the Iraq War is a disaster, Afghanistan is deeply insecure and the al-Qaida movement remains as potent as ever with new generations of leaders coming to the fore.Trade Review"Analysis and perception is provided admirably by Paul Rogers' short, punchy book. Perhaps surprisingly, given the disastrous situation he is describing, Rogers sees reasons to hope amid the carnage and despair. For all our sakes, we can only hope he is right." New Internationalist "Rogers' analysis is insightful and his damning appraisal of the past, and pessimistic vision of the future, are sobering." Political Studies Review "A very good overview of the motives and consequences of US policy since 9/11. Rogers is particularly good at analysis of military affairs, but ably locates it within the wider political context and provides some revealing insights." International Affairs "Rogers writes with authority and incisiveness." Times Higher Education "Paul Rogers is one of the foremost British academic commentators on the American-led 'war on terror'. Like all ambitious and mature scholars, he takes as his field the entire terrain of conflict, from the technological and economic factors, to the political, social and ideational factors that have shaped public policy. Rogers' view is refreshing because he is not bound by the traditional strictures of critical political economy that tend to place undue emphasis on single factors. While he quite rightly places the economics of national interest squarely in his sights, he also takes a great deal of effort to show how both technological and ideational factors come into play." International Peacekeeping. "Paul Rogers has produced the best guide I have read to the post-9/11 international security environment; its origins, nature, and consequences." Mark Phythian, University of Leicester "Paul Rogers' short book packs a mass of tough wisdom and reasoned provocation into its 180 pages. He sees the war in Iraq as a delusion; one that condemns us to a long war against 'Islamo-fascism'. This book is not prescriptive, but challenges us all to a debate. Everyone involved with the practice and policy of national security should read, think and argue about it."

Book SynopsisIn this book, David Sobek argues that there is no single explanation for war: factors leading to war in one case may well lead to peace in another. Understanding the onset of war, he contends, requires a movement away from single theories towards one that embraces the multi-faceted causes of war.Trade Review"Provides good summaries of a wide range of debates in conflict theory alongside a diverse array of historical material and case studies. The book commends itself to the attention of researchers, advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in the field of international relations theory, security studies and peace and conflict studies." Acta Politica "A fine overview of the major factors influencing decisions for interstate war – power, democratic peace, and trade – across different levels of analysis. The inclusion of frequent case applications and a discussion of civil war are bonuses." Paul F. Diehl, University of IllinoisTable of ContentsIntroduction. Section I: The Behavior of States.

Book SynopsisThe long separation of health and International Relations, as distinct academic fields and policy arenas, has now dramatically changed. Health, concerned with the body, mind and spirit, has traditionally focused on disease and infirmity, whilst International Relations has been dominated by concerns of war, peace and security.Trade Review"A brilliant analysis of the intersection of the fields. I strongly recommend this book to academics and professionals working internationally in the field of public health, irrespective of whether they come from a health or an international relations background."—Health Sociology Review "Deserves a wide readership among scholars of global health and international relations, particularly as it could foster greater inter-disciplinary collaboration between researchers in these fields."—International Affairs "Colin McInnes and Kelley Lee give us an enormously rich exposition of the modern global health enterprise. Global Health and International Relations must be read, as it offers the most sophisticated and penetrating analysis of global health governance in the literature. I will have their book on my shelf as a critical reference for my scholarship on, and advocacy for, global health with justice."—Lawrence Gostin, Johns Hopkins University "McInnes and Lee have clearly demonstrated the link between international relations and global health, and in language understood by both target audiences. By doing so, they have brought to life the Oslo Ministerial Declaration of 2007 in which ministers of foreign affairs from seven countries stated that global health is a pressing foreign policy issue."—David L. Heymann, Chatham House Centre on Global Health Security "It has been clear for many years that the traditionally distinct fields of health studies and international relations needed to be connected in both academic and policy domains. At last, we have a comprehensive engagement connecting these intellectual spaces from two outstanding experts."—Stuart Croft, University of WarwickTable of ContentsAcknowledgements vi List of Abbreviations viii List of Boxes, Tables and Figures xi Introduction 1 1.

Book SynopsisWhen we speak of global governance today, we no longer mean simply state-to-state diplomacy, international treaties, or intergovernmental organizations like the United Nations. Alongside these traditional'' elements of global politics are a host of new institutions ranging from global networks of governmental officials, to private codes of conduct for corporations, to action-oriented partnerships of NGOs, governments, corporations, and other actors. These innovative mechanisms offer intriguing solutions to pressing transnational challenges as diverse as climate change, financial governance, workers'' rights, and public health. But they also raise new questions about the effectiveness and legitimacy of transnational governance. An expanding body of scholarship has sought to identify and assess these new forms of governance, but this young body of work has lacked a sense of the larger picture. This volume seeks to fill that need by presenting a comprehensive overview of new forTrade Review"A stellar assessment."—Central European Journal of International and Security Studies "This new handbook could not be more timely. For teachers and students of international governance, diplomats and policy-makers, foreign policy gurus and political scientists - and dare one suggest, elected politicians - it is a book that should be seen as an indispensable reference to understanding the challenges ahead and the context in which they work, and it will give them an insight into the nature of the multipolar world of which they must attempt to make sense."—Journal of Contemporary European Studies "Essential for those who want to explain why transborder governance has changed and to understand what implications these changes have for global politics. Never has such a broad sample of institutional innovations been gathered together, and such an empirical baseline is needed for sound theorizing of the causes and effects of innovations in transnational governance."—Sir ReadaLot "A comprehensive starting-point for understanding the complex array of organizations, associations, and networks engaged in contemporary transnational governance. It shows us much about what we know and don't know - particularly about the impact of these novel arrangements. This volume can help to set the agenda for a new generation of scholarship on the politics of complex interdependence."—Robert O. Keohane, Princeton University "The configuration of a multipolar world without the tools to fuel transnational efficiency and legitimacy is highly risky. This brilliant and comprehensive volume enriches previous research on the transformations of governance in the international community and it is essential for those seeking to understand the challenges ahead and their impact on world politics."—Javier Solana, President of ESADE Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics, former EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy "An indispensable reference for anyone interested in global cooperation and problem-solving in the 21st century. By documenting multiple forms of transnational governance, from transgovernmental networks to multi-stakeholder coalitions to voluntary codes of conduct, the book describes a growing global infrastructure of regulation and enforcement. The authors also include arbitral bodies, which undergird a public-private system of law enforcement that is familiar to lawyers but is all too often left out by political scientists. I can't imagine anyone teaching or writing about this subject without consulting this book."—Anne-Marie Slaughter, Princeton University, former Director of Policy Planning, US State DepartmentTable of ContentsNotes on Contributors.
