Cambridge University Press Transitional Justice in the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisA new generation of countries are now coping with the end of civil conflict or fall of a repressive government. Based on ten case studies, this book traces the theory of transitional justice and analyzes the techniques employed, including combining multiple institutions and using local-level, transnational and national efforts simultaneously.Trade Review'… a collection of contemporary case studies that reflect recent developments in the political and conceptual bases of transitional justice. The collection is appealing on a number of levels. It is attractively presented, accessible and in tune with key developments of the field. … It is particularly valuable that the editors have averted their focus from the well trodden path of international criminal justice … The contributions instead address less-commonly acknowledged challenges, such as institutional sequencing, demobilization and reintegration of combatants … I have referred to this book repeatedly in the few weeks it has been sitting on my desk. It is an informative and extremely convenient presentation of transitional justice 'snapshots' … a worthwhile investment for students and practitioners alike.'

Cambridge University Press Russian Politics Today
Book SynopsisAn accessible and nuanced introduction to contemporary Russian politics using the theme of stability versus fragility as its overarching framework. This innovative textbook explores core themes as well as path-breaking insights into the politics of race, class, gender, sexuality, and the environment.Trade Review'One of the most comprehensive compilations on Russian politics, this richly illustrated textbook that features outstanding contributions from well-known scholars will be of great value to students and teachers. It offers a holistic take on Russian politics going beyond key political institutions and power dynamics. Refreshingly, it covers issues that have been often neglected in mainstream accounts of Russian politics, offering new perspectives on race, class, gender, sexuality, and the environment. The power elite and the socially marginal, the metropolitan centers and the rural backwaters, all come together in this wonderful new volume to give us a nuanced set of perspectives as we grapple with the realities of an autocracy waging a brutal war in Ukraine.' Tomila Lankina, London School of Economics and Political Science'To gain a comprehensive, up-to-date, and historically grounded understanding of Russian politics, look no further than this book. This excellent volume brings together a group of experts offering useful and timely insights on key dimensions of Russian politics, economy, and society. Its unparalleled breadth and depth make it not only a great textbook, but also a must-read among scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in Russia.' Cheng Chen, University at Albany, State University of New York'The coverage of Russian Politics Today is fresh and current; the book includes topics previously overlooked in Russian politics textbooks, such as climate change, race, gender, and ethnicity, along with more standard topics like political institutions, economic development, and foreign policy. The chapters are topical, widely appealing, and provide an important focus on domestic social conditions and political dynamics. The book draws from an internationally diverse pool of well-known authors with deep expertise in their areas of focus.' Hilary Appel, Claremont McKenna College, California'Wengle has gathered a strong and internationally diverse group of authors, many representing the emerging generation of experts on Russia. They bring fresh perspectives to a wide range of topics, from key institutions and policy areas to such issues as racism and climate change. The volume has particular breadth of coverage about Russia's political economy, from the oligarchs to the country's marginalized. Each chapter provides discussion questions, and additional instructional materials are available online. With its prologue describing the invasion of Ukraine and the resulting changes in Russia's domestic politics and foreign policy, plus references to the war's impact in each relevant chapter, the volume will feel up to date to students. This is an invaluable resource for teaching a subject that is now as important as it has ever been.' William M. Reisinger,, University of Iowa'This is an outstanding textbook and an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in Russian politics. Containing chapters by leading experts, the book is comprehensive and up to date. The discussion is balanced, sophisticated, and also very readable.' Magnus Feldmann, University of Bristol'This textbook provides a rich, up-to-date overview of a refreshingly broad range of topics relating to Russian politics, economics, and society, from a diverse group of leading experts. The book will likely prove invaluable for those seeking engaging introductory analysis of Russia during a time of uncertainty and instability.' Ben Noble, University College London'This is an admirably comprehensive textbook that manages to convey the complexity of Russian politics while remaining highly accessible. If you're going to use a textbook in a course on Russia, this is the book to use! The volume brings together excellent authors, covers the most relevant topics, and will be useful to both beginning and more advanced students.'

Cambridge University Press Global Policymaking
Book SynopsisBy unpacking the practices and the values that have prevailed in three recent UN initiatives, this book demonstrates how global policymaking forms a patchwork pervaded by improvisation and social conflict. The book will appeal to students and scholars of global governance, international organizations and global policy studies.Trade Review'In this superb book, the dynamic and fluid character of global policymaking is captured by treating global governance as an 'unscripted process' – one that is defined by seemingly undirected and impromptu practices of bricolage. Pouliot and Thérien take the UN as one important site of global policy processes to provide a rich and conceptually sophisticated illustration of their 'practice approach' to the analysis of global governance. This approach brings to the fore the inclusionary as well as exclusionary 'politics' and value debates behind the 'patchwork' of global policymaking.' Diane Stone, Chair of Global Policy, School of Transnational Governance, EUI'This ambitious and innovative book aims to refocus the study of global governance on the process of global policymaking. Far from technical problem-solving, this is a messy, deeply political process, characterized by improvisation, recombination, and ambiguous compromise, and shaped by inescapable value cleavages and governance practices that include or exclude particular actors and interests. The book also offers a valuable 'how-to' guide to analyzing governance practices and value conflicts.' Kenneth W. Abbott, Jack E. Brown Chair in Law Emeritus, Arizona State University'Vincent Pouliot and Jean-Philippe Thérien show convincingly that global policymaking can be understood not as functional responses to global problems but as the outcome of struggles about transboundary practices and universal values. Seeing global governance as a bricolage of global policymaking allows a better understanding of the intricate relationship of common goods justifications and power relations. Global Policymaking is one of the most important books on global governance.' Michael Zürn, Director at the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB), and Professor, Freie Universität BerlinTable of ContentsIntroduction: the politics of global governance; 1. Global policymaking: from public goods to bricolage; 2. The making of global policies: analytical framework and methodology; 3. The sustainable development goals: planning without a blueprint; 4.

Book SynopsisThis study interrogates the theoretical and empirical validities of two dominant theories about Chinese state in the post-Mao period. The authors argue that the meritocratic view has under-theorized the innate contradiction between officials' personal competence and political loyalty.
