Inside the World Bank 

exploding the Myth of the Monolithic Bank 

Yi-Chong Xu and Patrick Weller, both Professors of 

politics at the Centre for Governance and Public Policy at 

Griffith University, USA. 

This book argues that the World Bank, far 

from being a unitary actor, is fundamentally 

plural, internally fragmented and dispersed, 

with cascading chains of delegation, authority 

and controls, and with considerable discretion 

delegated to the staff.

Conflicting times and the Crisis of news

Andrew Hoskins, University of Glasgow, UK and 

Ben O’Loughlin, Lecturer in International Relations, 

Department of Politics and International Relations, Royal 

Holloway, University of London, UK 

‘... the strength of this book lies in its ability 

to communicate important ideas from media 

studies to a broad audience of scholars interested 

in media discourse...’ - Adam Hodges, Stanford 

university 

The advent of the twenty-first century was marked 

by a succession of conflicts and catastrophes that 

demanded unrestrained journalism. Hoskins and 

O’Loughlin demonstrate that television, tarnished 

by its economy of liveness and its impositions of 

immediacy, and brevity, fails to deliver critical and 

consistent expositions of our conflicting times.

Comparing China and India 

Edited by Edward Friedman, Professor of Political 

Science, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA and 

Bruce Gilley, PhD Candidate in Political Science, 

Princeton University, USA 

This edited volume reconsiders the conventional 

wisdom, which argues that comparative 

performance (in economic, social, political, as 

well as diplomatic arenas) of China has been 

superior to that of India. The book brings together 

‘new paradigms’ for evaluating the comparative 

performance of two countries. Essays show that 

if not outright wrong, conventional wisdom has 

proven to be overly simplified. The book brings 

out the complexity and richness of the India-China 

comparison.

Can latin America Compete? 

Confronting the Challenges of globalization 

Edited by Jerry Haar, Professor of Management and 

International Business, Florida International University, 

USA and John Price, President, InfoAmericas 

Can Latin America compete? Many argue that 

the macroeconomic and trade reforms of the 

1990s merely put a handsome coat of paint over 

education, labour, judicial, and administrative 

reforms that remain incomplete. This book 

identifies ten factors that most influence the 

competitiveness of Latin American nations and will 

shape their economic futures.

This book compares African and Afrikaner 

nationalisms to demonstrate that the transition 

from apartheid to liberal democracy in South 

Africa was a neo-colonial settlement that left the 

economy and the military and security sectors 

under the control of the white minority, while 

increasing wide socioeconomic disparities between 

rich and poor.

Formal political structures have produced little 

more than ‘electoral democracy’ in Africa without

exploitation. This book looks at the opportunities 

for, and limitations of, voluntary bodies in seeking a

boundary’ through Europe which is determined

change and development and a place of encounter 

and exchange between religions and cultures.

Consensus and division 

Edited by Andrew Gamble, Professor of Politics, 

University of Cambridge, UK Dr David Lane, Emeritus 

Reader in Sociology, University of Cambridge, UK 

Divisions in the EU are considered, as well as the 

conflicts that have arisen from enlargement and 

foreign policy concerns. Leading specialists on 

European politics and society reflect on the nature 

of consensus and competition between elites, and 

whether the EU may be able to provide a sense of 

common identity and purpose for its citizens.

the governance of Pharmaceuticals and

Sebastian Krapohl, Assistant Professor of International 

Relations, Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg, Germany 

This book demonstrates how the Thalidomide 

catastrophe of the 1960s and the BSE crisis 

of the 1990s led to regulatory regimes for 

pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs in Europe. 

However, the developmental paths of these 

regimes differ – and so does the efficiency and 

legitimacy of regulatory policy-making.

Separatism and Sovereignty in

Party Politics and the Meanings of Statehood in a 

Supranational Context 

Janet Laible, Assistant Professor of Political Science at 

Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA 

This book investigates why, despite European 

integration, separatist nationalism continues to 

thrive in EU member states. Laible demonstrates 

that the EU sustains the importance of statehood, 

and therefore separatism, and creates new forms 

of political capital that nationalists employ in their 

struggles for self-government.

Core executive and

Radoslaw Zubek, Research Fellow in the European 

Institute at the London School of Economics and Political 

Science, UK 

‘In this exciting study Radoslaw Zubek 

convincingly shows that the success of eu rule 

adoption lies at the ‘heart’ of government. 

His careful empirical analysis documents the 

transition process of three Central european 

member states and reveals how the wish to 

join the european union has changed national 

administrations. His findings are highly relevant 

to new candidate countries but also to ‘old’ 

member states.’ - Bernard Steunenberg, Professor 

of Public Administration, leiden university, the 

netherlands 

This book examines the process of Europeanization 

in Central Europe. It focuses on how Central 

European states adopted EU rules prior to

Edited by David McCrone, Professor of Sociology, 

University of Edinburgh, UK and Gayle McPherson, 

Senior Lecturer in Cultural Policy, Glasgow Caledonian

contested and manipulated, as well as subject 

to political, cultural and social pressure. It brings 

together some of the most recent research on 

national days and sets it in a comparative context.

the gendering of global Finance 

Libby Assassi, Associate Fellow, Centre for Gender 

Studies, University of Sussex, UK 

‘An impressive contribution of this book is its 

rigorous deployment of gender as an analytical 

category that connects the dots between the 

everyday micro-practices of financial life and 

structural features of the global economy. Its 

rich historical detail reminds us that gendered 

relations of credit and finance have transformed 

over time and across myriad forms of political and 

economic organization.’ - Professor Mary Condon, 

Osgoode Hall law School, york university, 

toronto, Canada 

This book explores the gendered nature of the 

historical emergence of modern finance markets 

and their expansion to a now global scale. It 

analyses the ways in which women were and still 

are marginalized in terms of financial activity and 

associated structures of power which play a critical 

role in shaping the contemporary global political 

economy.

The transformation of the Turkish state is 

examined here in the context of globalized frames 

of neo-liberal capitalism and contemporary 

schemas of Islamic politics. It shows how 

the historical emergence of two distinct yet 

intertwined imaginaries of state structuring, laiklik 

and Islam, continues to influence Turkish politics 

today.

Open Varieties of Capitalism 

Continuity, Change and Performance 

Uwe Becker, Associate Professor of Political Science, 

University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands 

‘In this book, uwe Becker provides the last word 

on the varieties of capitalism in all their varieties. 

He combines reasoned critique with a highly 

innovative argument in which he conceives of 

capitalist political economies as open systems, 

and for which he identifies four ideal-types. A 

must-read for those interested in understanding 

capitalism in all its complexity.’ - Vivien A. 

Schmidt, Jean Monnet Professor of european 

Integration, Boston university, uSA 

Presenting capitalisms as open, system-like 

configurations, this book argues four ideal-typical 

varieties (liberal, statist, corporatist, mesocommunitarian) 

and analyzes the socio-economic 

performances of advanced capitalisms.

Aesthetics and World Politics 

Roland Bleiker, Professor of International Relations, 

University of Queensland, Australia 

’...a spirited yet remarkably humble defence of 

the heretical idea that the future of international 

relations as a vigorous academic discipline 

depends on the willingness of its representatives 

to take a radical ‘aesthetic turn’...Bleiker’s 

intellectual vision unfolds in exemplary lucid 

prose...’ - Australian Book Review 

This book presents one of the first systematic 

assessments of aesthetic insights into world 

politics. It examines the nature of aesthetic 

approaches and outlines how they differ from 

traditional analysis of politics. The book explores

Culture and Consensus in 

european Varieties of Capitalism 

A “Common Sense” Analysis 

Ian Bruff, Lecturer in European and International Politics, 

University of Manchester, UK 

‘Ian Bruff brings gramscian notions of culture 

and common sense back into the study of 

national economic performance. In this way, 

he underscores that policy consensus is what 

people understand and make of it, and not what 

institutions thrust upon them. His argument 

not only extends the reach of neo-gramscian 

analysis, but offers an important provocation for 

all comparative political economists.’ - erik Jones, 

Professor of european Studies, SAIS Bologna 

Center, Italy 

Using two milestones in the Dutch and German 

political economies - Wassenaar and Alliance for 

Jobs respectively - this book argues that Antonio 

Gramsci’s ‘common sense’ provides us with the 

conceptual apparatus necessary for analysing the 

integral role played by culture and consensus in the 

trajectories of national capitalisms in Europe.

What Makes the eu Viable? 

european Integration in the light of the 

Antebellum uS experience 

Andrew Glencross, Lecturer in International Relations, 

University of Pennsylvania, USA 

‘A highly original, well-written and conceptualized 

book that makes an important contribution 

to ongoing debates in both eu studies and IR. 

the analysis provides a well articulated, critical 

vantage point for the assessment of the viability 

of the european integration process and will 

also be read with great interest and profit by all 

those interested in the reasons for the failure of 

the original uS design.’ - Friedrich kratochwil, 

Professor of International Relations, european 

university Institute, Italy 

Drawing on international relations theory, law and 

historical analysis, this book compares European 

integration with the antebellum USA to assess 

what makes the EU viable despite contestation 

over the rules of the game of integration. It reveals 

that changing the system of representation is no 

shortcut solution for the EU’s constitutional woes.

Post-Communist economies and

Cynthia M. Horne, Seton Hall University’s School of 

Diplomacy and International Relations 

The author examines the United States and 

European Union’s use of anti-dumping laws to 

demonstrate that discriminatory treatment 

persists even a decade after the end of the Cold 

War. She argues that lingering Cold War beliefs 

about the trade threat posed by Communist 

countries continue to affect the method of 

implementing these trade remedy laws.

’Bryan Mabee’s book represents a new advance in

shows compellingly how state power has adapted 

to globalization, situating state and security in the 

broader dynamics of historical change. I strongly 

recommend this book.’ - Professor Michael Cox,

The Globalization of Security is an important 

rethinking of the connections between 

globalization and security, focusing on a conceptual

the understanding of security and the theory of 

state power.

Post-nAFtA north America 

Reshaping the economic and Political governance 

of a Changing Region 

Isidro Morales, Director of Public Policy and 

Government, Tec de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey, 

Nuevo Leon, Mexico 

The author argues that in the post-9/11 era, North 

America is evolving from a primarily economic 

space to a strategic ‘securitized’ one and that 

NAFTA has been used by the US as a regulatory 

framework for dealing with the pressures of 

globalization that have emerged in the post-Cold 

War era.

Political Solutions to Cultural Conflict 

Edited by Per Mouritsen, Associate Professor of Political 

Science, University of Aarhus, Denmark and Knud 

Erik Jørgensen, Professor of International Relations, 

University of Aarhus, Denmark 

‘there is much to commend in this well-organized 

book. Considering the number of contributors, 

the editors have done a fine job. the importance 

of this volume is to be found in its incorporation 

of recent developments in empirical theory.’ - eric

From a cross-disciplinary and conceptual 

perspective this book discusses the political 

solutions of constitutional patriotism, 

republicanism and liberal nationalism to cultural 

conflict. It places these debates in the context of 

real national traditions, where all civic language 

inevitably also reflects ‘culture’.

democratic Foreign Policy Making 

Problems of divided government and 

International Cooperation 

Edited by Robert Pahre, European Union Center at the 

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign , USA 

Leading scholars from the United States and the 

European Union examine how democracies make 

foreign policy when their citizens disagree. The 

authors focus in particular on differences of opinion 

between the legislature and the executive - often 

called ‘divided government’ - and the constraints of 

public opinion on a leader’s actions.

India negotiates its Rise in the International 

System 

Harsh V. Pant, Professor in the Department of Defence 

Studies at King’s College, London, UK 

‘the volume makes an excellent contribution 

for teaching courses on South Asian security 

and foreign policy, as well as for international 

relations courses that seek to expand the 

traditional discussion about great Power politics 

to include regional and emerging global powers... 

the volume is well written, clearly organized, and 

very accesible for students and researchers in the 

academic setting. It would be valuable as well 

for those in the policy community who seek to 

understand foreign and security policy from the 

Indian domestic perspective.’ - Sunila S. kale, The 

Journal of The Review of Politics 

As India’s attempts to carve out a foreign policy 

that is in sync with their rising international 

stature, they are having to deal with a range of 

issues that are controversial but central to the 

future of an Indian global strategy. This book 

examines these issues and deduces major trends in 

Indian foreign policy.

The collapse of US global hegemony means that 

the future of global relations will be defined by an

Sovereignty: Interpretations 

Jo-Anne Pemberton, Senior Lecturer, School of Social 

Sciences and International Studies, University of New 

South Wales, Australia 

This study involves a re-examination of sovereignty 

in relation to the domestic and international 

spheres of activity and highlights the ethical 

imperatives embedded in the concept. It argues 

that the implications of sovereignty are essentially 

democratic and pacific, even though political actors 

often interpret it in a crude and egoistic fashion.

Sugar: Refined Power in a global 

Regime 

Ben Richardson, Independent Scholar 

Short-listed for the BISA International Political 

economy group Book Prize 2010 

Sugar is a commonplace product with a complex 

background, mainly because of the high degree 

of protectionism given to the industry and the 

benefits of ensuring domestic producers stay 

in business. This book asks why there are such 

disagreements over trade policy, who profits within 

the current regime, and where power ultimately 

lies.

Of States, Rights, and Social

governing Migration and Citizenship 

Edited by Oliver Schmidtke, Professor of Political Science 

at the University of Victoria and Saime Ozcurumez, 

Postdoctoral Fellow at the McGill Institute, Canada 

Do nation-states act to facilitate or limit 

immigration and integration, how and why? 

How do nation-states themselves transform in 

understanding and interpreting rights respond 

to immigration? Does the European Union make 

a difference in terms of how immigrants are 

perceived or how they act as stakeholders in liberal 

democracies?

german thought and

the Rise and Fall of a liberal Project 

Robbie Shilliam, Lecturer in International Relations, 

Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand 

A fundamental question for IR is whether the value 

system of liberalism can be universalized, or if, in 

fact, the illiberal reality of international politics 

systematically rules out such a universalisation. 

The book addresses this issue by focusing on the 

rise and fall of a specific liberal project supported by 

influential German intellectuals.

Amílcar Antonio Barreto, Associate Professor at 

Northeastern University, Boston, USA 

This book contends that there is a fundamental 

logic underlying the participation of non-elites in 

the nationalist enterprise. In order to understand 

this logic we must cast aside the standard myopia

A History of International 

Political theory

Hartmut Behr, Professor of International Relations, 

School of Geography, Politics and Sociology, University 

of Newcastle, UK 

‘A fascinating critical reconsideration of how 

generations of political thinkers have appraised 

the interplay between universal and particular 

interests among the relations of states in their 

understandings of “the world” from Western 

antiquity through the present-day.’ - timothy 

W. luke, university distinguished Professor of 

Political Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute 

and State university, uSA 

Contemporary theory of international politics 

faces a twofold problem: the critical engagement 

with legacies of national power politics in 

connection to 20th Century International Relations 

and the regeneration of notions of humanity. 

This book contributes to this engagement by a 

genealogy of thoughts on war, peace, and ethics.

Through an identity-building-and-shifting process, 

argues Donskis, we can move from political

Financing Referendum Campaigns 

Edited by Karin Gilland Lutz, Center for Comparative

Simon Hug, Professor of Political Science, University of 

Geneva, Switzerland 

Critics of referendums often lament that big 

money may buy success at the ballot box. 

But spending by interest groups may also be 

informative for citizens. This can only happen, 

however, if the financing of referendum campaigns 

is regulated. This book offers an overview of these 

regulations and presents research on their effects.

continues apace. Many have benefited from this,

the interconnections established by globalization 

make possible a critique of its inequality. For those 

who take seriously human dignity, equality is a

Civil disobedience 

(un)Common Sense in Mass democracies 

Lawrence Quill, Associate Professor, Department of

‘Quill’s cosmopolitan and cultural view on civil 

disobedience is a crucial contribution in a field 

traditionally focusing on the nation state and 

state theory. With a critical and reflective style he 

relates disobedience to a broad selection of social 

theories, introduces disobedience as ‘rupture’ 

and creates a unique history of ideas.’ - Stellan

politics of representative democracies as power 

‘leaks’ from the nation state? If traditional 

politics has surrendered to the interests of global 

corporations what are the consequences? Quill 

proposes a reappraisal of civil disobedience and 

civil obedience in order to address these and other 

questions.

nietzsche’s Revolution 

décadence, Politics, and Sexuality 

C. Heike Schotten, Assistant Professor in the department 

of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts, 

Boston, USA 

This book claims Nietzsche as a leftist revolutionary 

but without overlooking the conservative and 

retrogressive elements of his political philosophy. 

The author argues that these two ‘halves’ of his 

philosophy help construct a new form of politics for 

contemporary readers, a possibility of revolution 

post-Marx.

Carl Schmitt and the Politics of 

Hostility, Violence and terror 

Gabriella Slomp, Senior Lecturer in International 

Political Thought, University of St. Andrews, UK 

Carl Schmitt’s friend/enemy principle is exposed 

to in-depth philosophical analysis and historical 

examination with the aim of showing that the 

political follows hostility, violence and terror as 

form follows matter. The book argues that the 

partisan is an umbrella concept that includes the 

national and global terrorist.

Policy lessons from y2k 

Kevin F. Quigley, Assistant Professor, School of Public 

Administration, Dalhousie University, Canada 

’Quigley’s well-paced account is meticulously 

researched and systematically presented. It is 

the most authoratative analysis we are likely to 

get of an episode that is inevitably coloured by 

the very different perceptions of the people most 

closely involved... Quigley is to be congratulated 

on producing a clear, accessible and authoritative 

account of how governments over-reacted to but, 

perhaps, also successfully headed-off, a disaster 

that never was.’ - Chris Bellamy, nottingham 

trent university, Public Administration vol. 88 

This book examines comparatively the US and 

the UK governments’ management of Y2K and 

considers the extent to which such management 

can be understood as responses to market 

pressures, public opinion and organized interests. 

It concludes by providing valuable lessons to 

those concerned about managing risk and critical

Public Policy Values 

Jenny Stewart, Professor of Public Policy, University of

More and more policy issues involve issues that are

showing how public policies enable values-choices

‘Restoring Hope is a heartfelt plea from different

for decent care, which treats people living with 

HIV as collaborators. It is a plea, I pray we heed.’ 

- desmond tutu, nobel laureate and Archbishop

This volume is a call to re-examine assumptions 

about what care is and how it be practised. Rather 

than another demand for radical reform, it makes 

the case for thinking clearly and critically. It urges 

people living with HIV to become full partners in 

designing and implementing their own care and for 

caregivers to accept them in this role.

‘How northern Ireland deals with its past is a 

major issue for northern Ireland’s future. So this 

book could not be more important. It is written 

with passion but without partisanship, with

and inaccurate portrait of a highly complex people.

Foreign Policy 

Identity, Ideology, and America’s World Role in a 

new era 

Karl K. Schonberg, Associate Professor of Government 

at St. Lawrence University, USA 

This book argues that, in the years since the 9/11 

attacks, socially constructed understandings of the 

identity of the United States and its friends and 

enemies have played a critical role in determining 

the course of U.S. foreign policy, in particular the 

Bush administration’s choices with regard to the 

war on Iraq.

Realist Strategies of Republican 

Peace 

niebuhr, Morgenthau, and the Politics of Patriotic 

dissent 

Vibeke Schou Tjalve, Senior Researcher at the Danish 

Institute for Military Studies, Copenhagen, Denmark 

This book’s central claim is that Niebuhr and 

Morgenthau may be read as heirs to a particularly 

American republicanism, whose ideal of patriotism 

as “embedded dissent” is a powerful and muchneeded 

corrective to contemporary vocabularies 

of international justice, legitimacy, and restraint on 

both the left and the right.

Presidential Power in Action 

Implementing Supreme Court detainee decisions 

Darren Wheeler, Assistant Professor of Political Science 

and Public Administration at the University of North 

Florida, USA 

This book examines how Supreme Court detainee 

cases have been implemented, with emphasis 

on the role of the president, concluding that 

an active executive branch has the ability to 

shape the manner in which judicial decisions are 

implemented and exploring why presidents have 

more influence than Congress and the courts.

thinking beyond War 

Civil-Military Relations and Why America Fails to 

Win the Peace 

Isaiah Wilson, International Affairs Fellow, Council on 

Foreign Relations 

This book argues that a major reason for America’s 

propensity to ‘lose the peace’ is the way the nation 

defines war and how the U.S. military is currently 

organized for warfare. The author offers new 

propositions and operational approaches to warplanning 

that give new hope and practical solutions 

to overcoming the paradox of American Way of 

War.
