Book SynopsisNeighborhood Initiatives of the Modi Government is a significant addition to the field of South Asian Studies and India’s Foreign Policy. Ever since he assumed the office of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has been trying to improve India’s ties with the world in general and its neighbours in particular, not only to serve Bharatiya national interests, but also to act in accordance with ancient Bharatiya wisdom of treating every one as a friend or potential friend. This was evident when Prime Minister Modi, initiated his foreign policy endeavours by inviting all the heads of governments of South Asian states to attend his Government’s oath-taking ceremony. But when confronted with bullets, his Army responded by firing mortars and surgical strikes.Chapters in the book examines New Delhi’s South Asia policy in the lights of these moorings.

Book SynopsisBharat: India 2.0 is a brilliant vision for the nation by one of India''s most prominent scientists. Through a meticulous analysis of the proceedings of the Constituent Assembly, Prof. Desiraju demonstrates the limitations of the Westminster model of governance for a country that has nurtured the longest extant human civilization. Specifically, the Indian Constitution of 1950, with its subsequent amendments, has many fault lines related to federalism, secularism and caste-based reservations that will lead to problems in the future. Going beyond conventional analyses, Desiraju argues for changes that acknowledge the civilizational aspects of a deeply religious country and proposes a unique solution to this problem.

Book SynopsisThis book attempts to explain Pakistan’s crisis of governance in historical and philosophical terms. It argues that South Asia’s indigenous orientation towards the exercise of power has reasserted itself and produced a regression in the behaviour of the ruling elite. This has meant that in the sixty years of independence from British rule the behaviour of the state apparatus and political class has become more arbitrary, proprietorial and delusional resulting deterioration in the intellectual and moral quality of the state apparatus is a mortal threat to Pakistan.Trade ReviewIt is a splendid work based on a tremendous amount of original sources, a contribution of enduring values to the literature on governmental institutions in Pakistan- Anwar Syed Professor Emeritus of political science University of Massachusetts USA

Book SynopsisThe definitive account of New Labour's rise and fall.Trade ReviewUnder New Labour there were two governments: one official, one largely hidden. The other government belonged to Gordon Brown. Now Steve Richards has created a unique biography of that administration – and a brilliant and understanding portrait of a huge political figure, his personal weaknesses and immense strengths. In so doing Richards, easily one of our best commentators, uncovers the unfashionable truth that politics sometimes matters as much as personalities.DAVID AARONOVITCH This book has been a long time coming, but it's well worth the wait. Steve Richards is quite simply one of the best in the business. His mix of criticism and compassion has produced the most intelligent take yet on the strange world of Gordon Brown and New Labour.JOHN KAMPFNER

Book SynopsisArthur C. Brooks, one of the country?s leading policy experts and the president of the American Enterprise Institute, offers a bold new vision for conservatism as a movement for happiness, unity, and social justice?a movement of the head and heart that boldly challenges the liberal monopoly on ?fairness? and ?compassion.?Drawing on years of research, Brooks presents a social justice agenda for a New Right?an inclusive, optimistic movement with a positive agenda to fight poverty, promote equal opportunity, extol spiritual enlightenment, and help everyone lead happier and more fulfilling lives. Firmly grounded in the four ?institutions of meaning??family, faith, community, and meaningful work?it is a call for a government safety net that actually lifts people up and offers a vision of true hope through earned success. Clear, well-reasoned, accessible, and free of vituperative politics, The Conservative Heart is a welcome strategy for conservatives looking for fresh, actionable ideas?and for politically independent citizens who believe that neither side is adequately addressing their needs or concerns.

Book SynopsisMartin Luther King, Jr. famously expressed his dream that his children would one day not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. In his vision, a person''s ethical qualities would be understood in spite of his or her body rather than through it. In general, we think that a person''s actions should not be judged according to their physical features, such as race. In fact, we see evaluations based on a subject''s race or other bodily traits as illegitimate. But Stain Removal argues that our perception of a person''s actions always entails judgments of the body. It therefore challenges modern moral theory''s premise that a subject''s deeds and not its bodily traits count as primary objects of evaluation. Drawing on modern and pre-modern accounts of how ethical knowledge originates, from the Biblical story of Ham, to Socrates, Immanuel Kant, Alain Locke, Frantz Fanon, Langston Hughes, Onora O''Neill, and Louis Althusser, the book suggests that our recogTrade ReviewWith uncommon brilliance and humor, Stain Removal decimates liberal fantasies of unmarked reciprocity: that we might be evaluated for the content of our character, that we all begin as innocent subjects, that race is prior to judgment, and that ethics is prior to value. Instead, Miller argues that race and ethics cannot be separated, and neither term will cede to the other. This tour de force brings critical race theory and philosophy together without the possibility of divorce." - David L. Eng, University of PennsylvaniaThis is an extraordinary, powerful, difficult book. In a tight, fiercely argued set of chapters, Miller makes the case against the separation of ethics and race, showing their inextricable entanglement from the earliest texts on these questions to the present. Witty, always passionately lucid, the author assembles a devastating critique, leading the reader to his conclusions, which are a revelation." - Page duBois, author of Slaves and Other ObjectsStain Removal is a tour de force treatment and critique of philosophical efforts to separate ethics and moral discourses from racial ones. A remarkable work." - Lewis R. Gordon, author of Disciplinary Decadence and What Fanon SaidMiller's book is a short, dense, brilliant, and fascinating work that is very important for its historical and phenomenological depth of analysis. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: Setting the Stain Chapter 1: Ethics and Race Chapter 2: The Everlasting Stain Chapter 3: The Secret of the Mark Chapter 4: Cursed Inheritance Chapter 5: Criminal Suspicions Conclusion: Dreams and Nightmares Notes Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisAmong the most prominent and significant political and legal developments since the end of the Cold War is the proliferation of mechanisms for addressing the complex challenges of transition from authoritarian rule to human rights-based democratic constitutionalism, particularly with regards to the demands for accountability in relation to conflicts and abuses of the past. Whether one thinks of the Middle East, South Africa, the Balkans, Latin America, or Cambodia, an extraordinary amount of knowledge has been gained and processes instituted through transitional justice. No longer a byproduct or afterthought, transitional justice is unquestionably the driver of political change. In Globalizing Transitional Justice, Ruti G. Teitel provides a collection of her own essays that embody her evolving reflections on the practice and discourse of transitional justice since her book Transitional Justice published back in 2000. In this new book, Teitel focuses on the ways in which transitional juTrade ReviewThis volume encompasses her essays on transitional justice over the course of a decade, offering insights into the development both of her thought and the field itself. As such, it is essential reading for those who seek to understand the rise to prominence, and shifting meanings, of transitional justice in contemporary human rights discourse and practice." -Chandra Lekha Sriram, Professor of International Law and International Relations, Co-Director of the Centre on Human Rights in Conflict, University of East London, Global Policy JournalTable of ContentsIntroduction ; Part I: Overview ; 1.

Book SynopsisFinding ways to understand the nature of social change and social order-from political movements to market meltdowns-is one of the enduring problems of social science. A Theory of Fields draws together far-ranging insights from social movement theory, organizational theory, and economic and political sociology to construct a general theory of social organization and strategic action. In a work of remarkable synthesis, imagination, and analysis, Neil Fligstein and Doug McAdam propose that social change and social order can be understood through what they call strategic action fields. They posit that these fields are the general building blocks of political and economic life, civil society, and the state, and the fundamental form of order in our world today. Similar to Russian dolls, they are nested and connected in a broader environment of almost countless proximate and overlapping fields. Fields are mutually dependent; change in one often triggers change in another. At the core of the Trade ReviewIn this bold and sweeping new work, Fligstein and McAdam make the first global contribution to sociological field theory since Bourdieu's Distinction. Finding order and turbulence not only in the semi-autonomous fields that others have investigated, but also in the complex interplay of social movements and the state, Fligstein and McAdam produce a vision that is theoretically insightful, empirically generative and will re-energize the quest for a fundamental grasp of the dynamics of large-scale social interaction. * John Levi Martin, University of Chicago *In this much-anticipated book, Neil Fligstein and Doug McAdam bring their rich and influential strands of scholarly work together to develop a provocative account of how skilled individuals upset established routines and build new political and organizational fields. The core of their argument emphasizes on how people deploy resources, build connections, and forge new practices. In so doing, they place agency in a new and analytically tractable light. This signal accomplishment will be essential reading to all political and organizational scholars. * Walter W. Powell, Stanford University *In A Theory of Fields, Neil Fligstein and Doug McAdam provide a powerful synthetic approach to the analysis of interconnected "strategic action fields" that anchor interaction and meaningful membership. This conceptual language breaches distinctions among political, economic, and other sociologies to advance a compelling general approach to the most basic sociological questions of order and change. Fligstein and McAdam have accomplished the difficult task of grappling with fundamental issues of social theory while advancing a program of social research that should both engage advanced scholars and inspire those earlier in their careers. * Elisabeth S. Clemens, University of Chicago *A Theory of Fields is certainly an abundant repertoire of good reasons for using the concept of field as a versatile tool for social research. * Angelo Salento, Sociologica *Table of ContentsChapter 1: The Gist of It ; Introduction - The Central Elements of the Theory - ; Other Perspectives - Conclusion ; Chapter 2: Micro-Foundations ; Introduction - Meaning and Membership - The Collective as Existential Refuge - ; Social Skill - Social Skill in Action - The Scope of the Theory - ; Institutional Politics - Social movements - Markets and the Economy - ; The Nonprofit Sector - Conclusion ; Chapter 3: Macro Implications ; Introduction - The <"Embeddedness>" of Strategic Action Fields - ; An Excursus on Formal Organization and Bureaucracy - The State ; as a system of strategic action fields - The Impact of State Fields on ; Non-state strategic action fields - The Dependence of States and State ; Fields on Non-state strategic action fields - Internal Governance Units - ; Higher Education and the Professions - Conclusion ; Chapter 4: Change and Stability in Strategic Action Fields ; Introduction - Current Debates - The Emergence of Strategic Action Fields ; - Sustaining a Settlement - Settlements and Ruptures - Reestablishing - ; Field Stability - The Relationship between Social Skill and the State of ; the Strategic Action Field - Social Skill and the Emergence of Fields - Social ; Skill and the Reproduction of Fields - Social Skill and the Transformation of ; Fields - Conclusion ; Chapter 5: Illustrating the Perspective ; Introduction - The Civil Rights Struggle, 1932-1980 - Setting the Stage - ; The Field of Racial Politics - Destabilizing Changes - The Episode of Contention ; and the Rise of the Civil Rights Movement - A New Settlement - The Declining ; Salience of the Cold War Dynamic - The Revenge of the Dixiecrats and the End ; of the New Deal Electoral Regime - The Rise of Black Power and the Rupture in ; the Movement strategic action fields - The Institutionalization of the Civil Rights ; Movement and Its Impact on Other Strategic Action Fields - Summing up - The ; Transformation of the U.S. Mortgage Market, 1969-2010 - The Dominant Strategic ; Action Fields of the Mortgage Market, 1934-1987 - Changes that Destabilized the ; Mortgage Market, 1969-1987 - Settlement and the new Strategic Action Field - The ; Rise of the Industrial model of the MBS market, 1993-2007 - The Causes of the ; Crisis - The Impact of the Strategic Action Field based on the Industrial model on ; other strategic action fields - Conclusion ; Chapter 6 Methods ; Introduction ; The Roadmap ; How to Tell if a Strategic Action Field Exists ; Emergence, Stability, and Crisis, Part 1 ; The Problem of the State in Relation to Strategic Action Fields ; Emergence, Stability, and Crisis, Part 2 ; Social Skill, Strategic Action, and the Question of Entrepreneurship ; Considering Different Philosophies of Science and Methodological Strategies ; A Positivist Approach to Strategic Action Fields ; Realist Approaches to Strategic Action Fields ; The Problem of Empiricism ; Conclusion ; Chapter 7 A Theory of Strategic Action Fields ; So what is new here? ; The Problem of the Accumulation of Knowledge in the Social Sciences ; The Surprising Discovery of Fields ; Toward a Collaborative Program of Theory and Research on Fields ; Bibliography

Book SynopsisA New Introduction to American Constitutionalism is the first text to study the entirety of American constitutionalism, not just the traces that appear in Supreme Court decisions. Mark A. Graber both explores and offers original answers to such central questions as: What is a Constitution,? What are fundamental constitutional purposes? How are constitutions interpreted? How is constitutional authority allocated? How to constitutions change? How is the Constitution of the United States influenced by international and comparative law? and, most important, How does the Constitution work? Relying on an historical/institutional perspective, the book illustrates how American constitutionalism is a distinct form of politics, rather than a means from separating politics from law. Constitutions work far more by constructing and constituting politics than by compelling people to do what they would otherwise do. People debate the proper meaning of the first amendment, but these debates are influeTrade Review"Graber's careful organization of his material provides a foundation in political theory that lends context to discussions of specific constitutional issues.

Book SynopsisThis new essay collection by distinguished philosopher Margaret Gilbert provides a richly textured argument for the importance of joint commitment in our personal and public lives. Topics covered by these diverse essays range from marital love to patriotism, from promissory obligation to the unity of the European Union.Trade ReviewAs Gilbert sees it, joint commitments are centrally constitutive of collective actions and attitudes, the practice of promising, conventions, political obligations and so on as per the above set of chapter headings. As the sub-title suggests, joint commitment is evidently by her lights the most fundamental social concept. As is fitting, she applies it in a wide variety of contexts, and the result is a wide-ranging and lively set of essays. Importantly, she applies her theoretical notion to questions in political philosophy and thereby connects abstract theory to real world concerns, something most theorists in this sub-field have not yet done. While many of the essays are well-known to those working in the field, it is useful to have them collected in one place, not the least because it facilitates development of an overview of her oeuvre. * Seumas Miller, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *a valuable resource to scholars in a variety of disciplines, as well as ordinary people, who have an interest in the everyday phenomena that Gilbert discusses with much insight and illumination...an enjoyable read and can be recommended to a broad-ranging audience. * Matti Heinonen, Journal of Social Ontology *Table of ContentsCONTENTS ; PREFACE ; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ; SOURCES ; INTRODUCTION ; PART I SHARED AGENCY ; Ch. 1 Acting Together ; Ch. 2 Considerations on Joint Commitment ; Ch. 3 Who's to Blame? ; Ch. 4 Rationality in Collective Action ; Ch. 5 Two Approaches to Shared Intention ; PART II COLLECTIVE ATTITUDES ; Ch. 6 Belief and Acceptance as Features of Groups ; Ch. 7 Collective Epistemology ; Ch. 8 Shared Values, Social Unity, and Liberty ; Ch. 9 Social Convention Revisited ; Ch. 10 Collective Guilt Feelings ; PART III MUTUAL RECOGNITION, PROMISES, AND LOVE ; Ch. 11 "Fusion": a contractual model ; Ch. 12 The problem of promisees' rights ; Ch. 13 Three dogmas about promising ; Ch. 14 Mutual Recognition ; PART IV POLITICAL LIFE ; Ch. 15 A Real Unity of Them All ; Ch. 16 Pro Patria: an Essay on Patriotism ; Ch. 17 De-moralizing Political Obligation ; Ch. 18 Commands and Their Practical Import ; BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AUTHOR'S WORKS ; INDEX

Book SynopsisRevolutions, social movements, religious and ethnic conflict, nationalism and civil rights, and transnational movements: these forms of contentious politics combine in Charles Tilly''s and Sidney Tarrow''s Contentious Politics. The authors present a set of analytical tools and procedures for study, comparison, and explanation of these very different sorts of contention. Drawing on many historical and contemporary cases, the book shows that similar principles describe and explain a wide variety of struggles as well as many more routine forms of politics.This fully revised and updated edition explores some of the major contentious events that have taken place since the original book was published in 2007, including the Occupy movement in the United States, the campaign for free elections in the city of Hong Kong, insurrections against Middle Eastern dictatorships, and armed conflicts on the border of the former Soviet Union. Comprehensive and empirically rich, Contentious Politics, 2nd eTrade Review"The second edition of Contentious Politics offers state-of-the-art tools for examining contemporary and historical movements and wider forms of collective action from transnational terrorism to civil wars. The text will be indispensable in social movement-related courses as well as a resource for scholars of resistance movements and historical struggles." --Paul Almeida, University of California-Merced "What do anti-slavery protests in 18th century Great Britain share with the Maidan encampment and its outcome for contemporary conflicts in Ukraine and in Europe as a whole? This must-read volume addresses this question by leading us through the complexity of contentious politics. Much more than just an introduction to a vital field of study, it contributes to it at several levels. Not only does it cover a broad range of popular contention in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas, but it also magisterially highlights the theoretical achievements and potential of the field of contentious politics." --Donatella della Porta, Scuola Normale Superiore and the European University Institute "I would be highly inclined to use the second edition of Contentious Politics as a main textbook for an undergraduate course on contentious politics and social movements. I believe that this updated edition will inspire discussions around the dialogue between theory and empirical cases. Moreover, its up-to-date analysis of major episodes of contention in the past decade will undoubtedly stimulate students to apply the theoretical definitions of contentious politics to real-world cases." --Diana Fu, University of Toronto "Clearly presented and engaging, Contentious Politics remains essential reading for undergraduate and graduate courses on sociopolitical mobilization." --M.L.

Book SynopsisAs a field of scholarship, gender and politics has exploded over the last fifty years and is now global, institutionalized, and ever expanding. The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Politics brings to political science an accessible and comprehensive overview of the key contributions of gender scholars to the study of politics and shows how these contributions produce a richer understanding of polities and societies. Like the field it represents, the handbook has a broad understanding of what counts as political and is based on a notion of gender that highlights masculinities as well as femininities, thereby moving feminist debates in politics beyond the focus on women. It engages with some of the key aspects of political science as well as important themes in gender and feminist research (such as sexuality and body politics), thereby forging a dialogue between gender studies in politics and mainstream political science. The handbook is organized in sections that look at sexuality and body politics; political economy; civil society; participation, representation and policymaking; institutions, states and governance as well as nation, citizenship and identity. The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Politics contains and reflects the best scholarship in its field.Trade ReviewThe editors of Oxford University Press's Handbook of Gender and Politics have provided the field with an essential research and teaching gem. The tome is global, timely, thoughtful, theoretical, and thorough. We should tip our sun bonnets, hijabs, hats, helmets, and veils to these editors for the hard work aforethought, careful and sensitive planning for and accomplishment of an inclusive wisdom which went into this stellar Oxford Handbook of Gender and Politics. * Asian Women *This text, from the first, takes an academically rigorous, socially aware and culturally enlightened approach to a rather ambiguous title, and in so doing, makes a significant contribution to the rapidly developing field, of not just political science as a discipline, but to every discipline, and, outside of academia, every person, to whom the issues discussed are relevant and therefore life affecting. * London School of Economics EUROPP blog *Table of ContentsAbout the Contributors ; Introduction: Gender and Politics: A Gendered World, a Gendered Discipline ; Karen Celis, Johanna Kantola, Georgina Waylen, and S.
