Description: The
six essays in this volume address the seemlingly anomalous success of democracy—or
near democracy—in many post-communist societies. Each of the authors
begins from the observation that the experience of post-communist states
points up limitations
in theories developed to explain the conditions for successful democratization
in other parts of the world. For example, these states had neither bourgeoisies
nor civil societies before the transitions to democracy; indeed, when viewed
in comparative perspective, these societies presented extremely unfavorable
conditions for democracy. Of course, authoritarian regimes never lost their
grip on power
in several of these states, and some initially democratic regimes have been
sliding backward toward authoritarianism. Nonetheless, the remarkable fact
is that despite
unfavorable prior conditions democracy flourishes in many of the post-communist
states. These essays address the question of what this post-communist anomaly
tells us not only about the conditions for democracy, but more importantly
about the processes of democratization and about theories of democratization
more
generally.

Published by: Palgrave
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: In the early 1970s, accompanying the
current wave of globalization, conservative nationalist religious movements
began using
religion to oppose nondemocratic and often Western-oriented regimes. Reasserting
patriarchal gender relations presumably authorized by religion has been central
to these movements. At the Fourth United Nations Congress on Women in Beijing
in 1995, Muslim and Catholic delegations from diverse countries united to oppose
provisions
on sexuality, reproductive rights, women’s health, and women’s rights as human
rights. Scholars from eight different Muslim and Catholic communities analyze
the political strategies that women are employing in these contexts, ranging
from acceptance of traditional doctrines to various forms of resistance, religious
reinterpretation, innovation, and political action toward change and equal
rights.

Title: A Perilous Progress: Economists and Public Purpose in Twentieth-Century
America
Author(s): Michael A. Bernstein
ISBN: 0-691-04292-6
Princeton University Press
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: The book is a history of the economics
profession in America. In it, Bernstein provocatively portrays a profession that
has ended up repudiating the state that nurtured it, ignoring distributive justice,
and disproportionately privileging private desires in the study of economic life.
He examines how a community of experts now identified with uncritical celebration
of ''free market'' virtues was itself shaped by government and collective action.
Replete with novel research findings, his work also analyzes the historical peculiarities
that led the profession to a key role in the contemporary backlash against federal
initiatives dating from the 1930s to reform the nation's economic and social
life.
An economist by training, Bernstein brings a historian's sensibilities to his
narrative, utilizing extensive archival research to reveal unspoken presumptions
that, through the agency of economists themselves, have come to mold and define,
and sometimes actually deform, public discourse. The book offers important, even
troubling, insights to readers interested in the modern economic and political
history of the United States. It also complements a growing literature on the
history of the social sciences.

Title: On Narrow Ground: Urban Policy and Ethnic
Conflict in Jerusalem and Belfast
Author(s): Scott A. Bollens
ISBN: 0-7914-4414-7
Published by: State University of New York Press
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: Examining how nationalistic ethnic conflict penetrates the building of cities,
this book explores whether urban policymaking may independently influence the
shape and magnitude of that conflict. Bollens utilizes an analytic lens to study
the complex spatial and psychological qualities of unique urban arenas of nationalistic
conflict and the obstacles faced by policymakers in improving intergroup relations.
An integrative analytic approach combining the perspectives of political science,
urban planning, geography, and social psychology is used to examine such urban
issues as sovereignty, territoriality, group identity, and community organization.
Focusing on Jerusalem and Belfast as examples of urban polarization, the book
describes struggles over local policymaking that are intensified by disputes
reflecting racial, nationalist, and/or religious fractures. Because these cities
are important microcosms of regional and international conflict, they constitute
an essential analytical scale for studying contemporary intrastate patterns and
processes of ethnic conflict, violence, and their management.

Title: Beyond the EMU: The Problem of Sustainability
Author(s): Benjamin J. Cohen, ed.
Published by: Westview Press
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: The first edition of this book was published in 1994, as the future of monetary
unification in Europe was very much in doubt. With economic and monetary union
now in place, it is appropriate to bring the scholarship on the topic up to date
for the students of international political economics. To this effect, essayists
Jeffry Frieden, Geoffrey Garrett, Lisa L. Martin, and Benjamin J. Cohen have
revised four of the original chapters to reflect new conditions. Editor Frieden
and Barry Eichengreen have rewritten the introductory essay completely. Three
new chapters, by Matthew Gabel, Charles Engel, and Paul De Grauwe et al., cover
public support for EMU, local currency pricing, and whether Europe is now better
off. The updated volume's purpose remains that of bringing the latest in scholarship
in economics and political science to bear on the European monetary integration.
Title: Money and Power in World Politics
Author(s): Benjamin J. Cohen, ed.
Published by: Ashgate
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: Few academics in the field of International Political Economy have
so re-conceptualized our understanding of global power realities as
Susan Strange. During the course of her career, her pioneering work caused
a ground-shift in the landscape of academic debate. This book presents
a
timely examination of Strange's structural power and other theories,
written by leading international analysts. Each contributor advances
the framework of these ideas from their own unique perspective to provide
an authoritative view of international power in the era of the global
economy. The combination of approaches and experience results in an
in-depth and multifaceted analysis of contemporary International Relations/International
Political Economy theory and practice, which will be required reading
for academics and students alike.

Title: Tracking a Transformation: E-Commerce and the Terms of Competition in
Industries
Author(s): Stephen S. Cohen, John Zysman, Peter Cowhey, eds.
ISBN: 0-8157-0067-9
Published by: The Brookings Institute
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: The information technology revolution of the last ten years marks the beginning
of a fundamental economic transformation. This transformation will affect every
activity in which organization, information processing, or communication is important.
It may well require changes in ideas about ownership, property, and control—the
ways in which governments regulate economies in the broadest sense of that term.
The e-commerce transformation presents remarkable opportunities for businesses,
governments, and other organizations to remake themselves, recreate what it is
that they can do, and reconstruct their relationships with customers and constituents.
A project of the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy (BRIE) and
the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), the volume analyzes
the way this transformation will affect market structure and pricing models in
several major industries: retail financial services, air travel, music, automobiles,
semiconductors, hearing instruments, food, textiles, and trucking.

Title: Can the Moral Hazard from IMF Bailouts be Reduced?
Author(s): Barry Eichengreen
ISBN: 1 898128 57 X
Published by: Centre for Economic Policy Research
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: The need to limit IMF financial rescues is a theme of the literature on how to
make the world a safer financial place. IMF bailouts create moral hazard, their
critics allege. They weaken market discipline and heighten crisis risk. Those
who propose to simply prohibit IMF rescues assume that it is politically feasible
for the Fund to stand aside when a crisis erupts. The reality is that the costs
of inaction (a severe economic contraction, an extended interruption to capital-market
access, and a lengthy and difficult restructuring) are too painful for the official
community to bear. In this first "Special Report" in the ICMB/CEPR series of
Geneva Reports on the World Economy, Professor Eichengreen argues that institutional
reforms that address these dilemmas are needed if the international policy community
is to succeed in containing moral hazard.
Two new approaches to containing and resolving financial crises are IMF-sanctioned
payments standstills and the addition of renegotiation-friendly collective action
clauses to loan contracts. Standstills are ideal for liquidity crises and collective
action clauses for crises caused by problems with fundamentals and requiring
debt restructuring. Which measure is more attractive depends, therefore, on which
type of crisis is more frequent. While neither proposal is without its problems,
some initiative along these lines is essential if the international financial
architecture is to be reformed to limit reliance on IMF bailouts and to ameliorate
the moral hazard problem.
Title: Industry Structure, Firm Behavior, and Technological Learning. How the Crisis
Reshapes Upgrading Options for East Asia's Electronics Industry

Year of Publication: 2000
Title: Responses to the Crisis: Constraints to a Rapid Trade Adjustment in East Asia's
Electronics Industry
Author(s): Dieter Ernst
Published by: Macmillan
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: It has been argued that "trade adjustment in East Asia . . . will be rapid and
sizable, lifting aggregate growth in these economies even as the domestic non-tradable
sectors continue to suffer a decline (as in Mexico)" (World Bank, 1998, p. 5).
Much hope has been pinned on the electronics industry to come through with rapid
growth through expanding exports. Two arguments appear to bolster such an expectation:
the severity of the region«s currency depreciations has lowered the cost of much
of its electronics supply base relative to its competitors; and the electronics
industry«s proven track record as an engine of export-led growth shows that it
can be quickly started and accelerated in response to changes in the market.
However, no export boom in electronics has (as yet) materialized.
This paper analyzes and explains the puzzle. The authors first introduce a taxonomy
of East Asia«s electronics firms and market segments to distinguish different
capacities to ride out the crisis. They then discuss three barriers to an East
Asian export boom in electronics: 1) supply-side constraints that result from
limited access to trade finance and from the cost-increasing impact of local
currency depreciations in highly import-dependent countries; 2) demand-related
constraints, resulting from deteriorating growth perspectives in East Asia«s
electronics export markets; and 3) deflationary pricing pressures, resulting
from a narrow specialization in high-tech commodities that are characterized
by periodic surplus capacity and price wars. Combined, these barriers have produced
a vicious circle: once exports increase, net volume gains are likely to be offset
by pricing losses.
Title: Information Technology in the Learning Economy: Challenges for Developing Countries
Author(s): Dieter Ernst, Bengt-Ake Lundvall
Published by: Edward Elgar Press
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: This paper inquires how the concept of the "learning economy" can be applied
to the requirements of developing countries. The main purpose is to develop an
analytical framework to better understand how learning and capability formation
can foster industrial upgrading. Special emphasis is given to the spread of information
technology (IT). We inquire under what conditions developing countries can use
this set of generic technologies to improve their learning capabilities. We argue
that information technology should not be regarded as a potential substitute
for human skills and tacit knowledge. Instead, its main role should be to support
the formation and use of tacit knowledge. In the paper we compare two stylized
models of the learning economy, the Japanese versus the American model. The Japanese
model is explicit in its promotion and exploitation of tacit knowledge, while
the American model is driven by a permanent urge to reduce the importance of
tacit knowledge and to transform it into information—that is, into explicit,
well-structured, and codified knowledge. We show that each of these models has
peculiar strengths and weaknesses. Developing countries need to develop their
own hybrid forms of institutions that combine the advantages of both models in
a way that is appropriate to their idiosyncratic needs and capabilities.
Title: Catching-Up and Post-Crisis Industrial Upgrading: Searching for New Sources of
Growth in Korea's Electronics Industry
Author(s): Dieter Ernst
Published by: Rowman and Littlefield Publishers
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: This book analyzes the institutional underpinnings of East Asia's dynamic growth
by exploring the interplay between governance and flexibility. As the challenges
of promoting and sustaining economic growth become ever more complex, firms in
both advanced and industrializing countries face constant pressures for change
from markets and technology. Globalization, heightened competition, and shorter
product cycles mean that markets are increasingly volatile and fragmented. To
contend with demands for higher quality, quicker delivery, and cost efficiencies,
firms must enhance their capability to innovate and diversify. Achieving this
flexibility, in turn, often requires new forms of governanceÑarrangements that
facilitate the exchange of resources among diverse yet interdependent economic
actors. Moving beyond the literature's emphasis on developed economies, this
volume emphasizes the relevance of the links between governance and flexibility
for understanding East Asia's explosive economic growth over the past quarter-century.
In case studies that encompass a variety of key industrial sectors and countries,
the contributors emphasize the importance of network patterns of governance for
facilitating flexibility in firms throughout the region. Their analyses illuminate
both the strengths and limitations of recent growth strategies and offer insights
into prospects for continued expansion in the wake of the East Asian economic
crisis of the late 1990s.

almost forty countries are represented.
Title: Globalization, Convergence, and Diversity: The Asian Production Networks of Japanese
Electronic Firms
Author(s): Dieter Ernst
Published by: Routledge
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: The economic crisis of 1997 called East Asia's economic miracle into question
and generated widespread criticism of the region's developmental models. However,
the crisis did little to alter the growing economic integration of the region
that is being forged by American, Japanese, and Chinese firms that have created
cross-border production networks, led by multinational corporations which span
the entire value-chain in a number of industries. This book addresses the changing
nature of high-tech industries in Asia, particularly in the electronics sector,
where these networks are increasingly designed to foster and to exploit the region's
highly heterogeneous technology, skills, and know-how.
Title: The Value of Plant Biodiversity for Agriculture
Author(s): Robert E. Evenson, Brian D. Wright
Published by: Johns Hopkins University Press
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: Agricultural research and development have profoundly increased the quantity
and quality of food production in the twentieth century. As populations increase,
however, and land and water resources become more scarce, we must improve productivity
and efficiency to provide adequate food supplies. Issues such as the environment,
genetic diversity, food safety, poverty, human health, animal rights, public
versus private responsibilities, and the question of intellectual property rights
further complicate this task. Agricultural Science Policy: Changing Global
Agendas consists of twelve chapters that describe important issues in agricultural
science policy, the relevant facts, current economic thinking, and new results.
Topics include: Changing Global Contexts and Agendas for Agricultural R&D; Productivity
Measures and Measurement; Research, Productivity, and Natural Resources; Research
for Genetic Improvement; and a conclusion that suggests future directions. The
chapters in this volume will provide researchers and policy makers with a timely
review of progress on the existing agenda as well as laying the foundation for
a new agenda and new directions for global agricultural science policy in the
twenty-first century.

combat." A skillful combination of trenchant cultural study, provocative illustrations,
and engrossing military, technical, and historical analysis, Postmodern War sheds
new light on the ways we conceptualize and conduct war today. This work is relevant
to understanding terrorism: its roots, how to combat it, its impact, and response.

Year of Publication: 2006
Description: Why do states delegate certain tasks and responsibilities to international
organizations (IOs) rather than acting unilaterally or cooperating directly?
How and to what extent do states continue to control IOs once authority has
been delegated? Examining a variety of different institutions including the
World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations,
and the European Commission, the authors explore the different methods that
states employ to ensure their interests are being served, and identify problems
in monitoring and managing IOs.
The contributors suggest that it is not inherently more difficult to design
effective delegation mechanisms at the international level than at the domestic
level and, drawing on principal-agent theory, help explain the variations that
exist in the extent to which states are willing to delegate to IOs. The authors
reintroduce and emphasize the importance of IOs as actors with their own strategic
interests, thereby shedding “new light on the sources and difficulties
of international cooperation.”

Description: Dramatic European events in 1989 and 1990 signaled the end of the Cold War. The
era of superpower domination and hostility has come to an end, and while the
effects of this cooling of global tensions are strong in Europe, they are far
less dramatic in the Pacific.
For twenty years the Pacific has been the site of intense and rapid economic
growth, which has gained it the attention of the international community. Due
to its frozen security relations, the region seems to have attained a level of
surface political stability. The contributors of this volume question the conclusion
that the Pacific will not be affected by recent international change and development.
International security, economic/military rivalry, and the alternative futures
of the Pacific region are all addressed.

Author(s): Edmund J. Keller, Donald Rothchild
ISBN: 1-555-8763-15 (paper)
Published by: Lynne Rienner Publishers
Year of Publication: 1996
Description: With Africa in a period of rapid change, its leaders
are faced with both rethinking old notions of state sovereignty and establishing
new guidelines governing when
and how international actors should intervene in domestic conflicts. This collection
explores the increasing interrelationship of the domestic and international security
environments of African states—a trend that, surprisingly, has accelerated with
the end of the Cold War. Combining theoretical and policy analyses with rich
case studies, the book addresses critical questions: Will the OAU and the UN,
in the interest of regional security, be able to redefine notions of sovereignty,
state responsibility, and norms of external intervention? Can Africa develop
a regional capacity for conflict prevention and management? What roles will external
actors be expected to play in African peacekeeping? The authors critically examine
traditional modalities for conflict management, as well as new ideas for coping
with Africa's security dilemma.

Title: The
International Spread of Ethnic Conflict: Fear, Diffusion, Escalation
Author(s): David Lake, Donald Rothchild,
eds.
ISBN: 0-691-016791-7 (cloth)
Published by: Princeton Univ. Press
Year of Publication: 1998
Description: The wave of ethnic conflict
that has recently swept across parts of Eastern Europe, the former
Soviet Union, and Africa has led many political observers to fear that
these conflicts are contagious. Initial outbreaks in such places as
Bosnia, Chechnya, and Rwanda, if not contained, appear capable of setting
off epidemics of catastrophic proportions. In this volume, David Lake
and Donald Rothchild have organized an ambitious, sophisticated exploration
of both the origins and spread of ethnic conflict, one that will be
useful to policymakers and theorists alike.
The editors and contributors argue that ethnic conflict is not caused directly
by intergroup differences or centuries-old feuds and that the collapse of the
Soviet Union did not simply uncork ethnic passions long suppressed. They look
instead at how anxieties over security, competition for resources, breakdown
in communication with the government, and the inability to make enduring commitments
lead ethnic groups into conflict, and they consider the strategic interactions
that underlie ethnic conflict and its effective management.
How, why, and when do ethnic conflicts either diffuse by precipitating similar
conflicts elsewhere or escalate by bringing in outside parties? How can such
transnational ethnic conflicts best be managed? Following an introduction by
the editors, which lays a strong theoretical foundation for approaching these
questions, Timur Kuran, Stuart Hill, Donald Rothchild, Colin Cameron, Will
H. Moore, and David R. Davis examine the diffusion of ideas across national
borders and ethnic alliances. Without disputing that conflict can spread, James
D. Fearon, Stephen M. Saideman, Sandra Halperin, and Paula Garb argue that
ethnic conflict today is primarily a local phenomenon and that it is breaking
out in many places simultaneously for similar but largely independent reasons.
Stephen D. Krasner, Daniel T. Froats, Cynthia S. Kaplan, Edmond J. Keller,
Bruce W. Jentleson, and I. William Zartman focus on the management of transnational
ethnic conflicts and emphasize the importance of domestic confidence-building
measures, international intervention, and preventive diplomacy.
Title: Regional
Orders: Building Security in a New World
Author(s): David Lake, Patrick Morgan,
eds.
ISBN: 0-271-01703-1 (cloth)
Published by: Penn State Press
Year of Publication: 1997
Description: Conflict among nations for
forty-five years after World War II was dominated by the major bipolar
struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. With the
end of the Cold War, states in differing regions of the world are
taking their affairs more into their own hands and working out new
arrangements for security that best suit their needs. This trend
toward new "regional orders" is the subject of this book, which seeks
both to document the emergence and strengthening of these new regional
arrangements and to show how international relations theory needs
to be modified to take adequate account of their salience in the
world today.
Rather than treat international politics as everywhere the same, or
each region as unique, the book adopts a comparative approach. It recognizes
that, while regions vary widely in their characteristics, comparative
analysis requires a common typology and set of causal variables. It presents
theories of regional order that both generalize about regions and predict
different patterns of conflict and cooperation from their individual
traits.
The editors conclude that, in the new world of regional orders, the quest for
universal principles of foreign policy by great powers like the United States
is chimerical and dangerous. Regional orders differ, and policy must accommodate
these differences if it is to succeed.

Description: Throughout what publisher Henry Luce dubbed the "American century," the United
States has wrestled with two central questions. Should it pursue its security
unilaterally or in cooperation with others? If the latter, how can its interests
be best protected against opportunism by untrustworthy partners? In a major attempt
to explain security relations from an institutionalist approach, David A. Lake
shows how the answers to these questions have differed after World War I, during
the Cold War, and today. In the debate over whether to join the League of Nations,
the United States reaffirmed its historic policy of unilateralism. After World
War II, however, it broke decisively with tradition and embraced a new policy
of cooperation with partners in Europe and Asia. Today, the United States is
pursuing a new strategy of cooperation, forming ad hoc coalitions and evincing
an unprecedented willingness to shape but then work within the prevailing international
consensus on the appropriate goals and means of foreign policy. This work is
relevant to understanding terrorism: its roots, how to combat it, its impact,
and response.

ISBN: 0-8204-5107-X
Published by: Peter Lang
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: War continues to occur and bewilder,
despite the keen attention of scholars, generals, and officials. This book
takes accounts of war—told, interpreted,
retold, recast, and enacted—as its focus. It argues that war propagates
from "war stories" into plans for the future. The vehicle is politics, ongoing,
surging negotiation of interpretations and designs. Politics defies closure in
civil society, but governments must take authoritative decisions. If war stories
in circulation confirm war preparations, war threats, and war itself as "appropriate" for
their circumstances, governments organize for war and undertake matching designs
and choices. A war avoidance policy delegitimates the war choice, providing
robust alternatives in mutual reassurance and collective security.
The author, Bruce D. Larkin, is Professor of Politics at the University of California
at Santa Cruz and a past member of the IGCC Steering Committee. He studied at
the University of Chicago and Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D.
in political science. He is the also the author of Nuclear Designs: Great

Published by: Columbia University Press
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: The gap between academics and practitioners
in international relations has widened in recent years, according to the authors
of this book. Many international relations scholars no longer try to reach
beyond the ivory tower and many policymakers disdain international relations
scholarship as arcane and irrelevant. Joseph Lepgold and Miroslav Nincic demonstrate
how good international relations theory can inform policy choices. Globalization,
ethnic conflict, and ecological threats have created a new set of issues that
challenge policymakers, and cutting-edge scholarship can contribute a great
deal to the diagnosis and handling of potentially explosive situations.

ISBN: 0-8157-0002-4
Published by: Brookings Institution Press
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: In just a few years, the Internet has had a visible impact on the daily lives
of many Americans. But the recent demise of many of the "dot coms" that symbolized
the Internet revolution has raised warning flags about its future.
Until now, discussion of the impact of the Internet on the economy has been mostly
speculation. In Beyond the Dot.coms, two of the nation's most respected
economists articulate the anticipated economic impact of the Internet over the
next five years. Drawing from detailed research conducted by the Brookings Task
Force on the Internet and the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy
(BRIE) Internet Task Force, Robert Litan and Alice Rivlin address the Internet's
potential impacts on productivity, prices, and market structure.
The research suggests that the most significant economic impact of the Internet
will be its potential to increase productivity growth in the existing economy-with
cheaper transactions, greater management efficiency, increased competition and
broadened markets, more effective marketing and pricing, and increased consumer
choice, convenience, and satisfaction. The greatest impact may not be felt in
e-commerce, but rather in a wide range of "old economy" arenas, including health
care and government.

Forgo Nuclear Weapons
Author(s): T. V. Paul
ISBN: 0-7735-2087-2 (paper), 0-7735-2086-4
(cloth)
Published by: McGill-Queens University Press
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: With the end of the Cold War, nuclear non-proliferation has emerged as a central
issue in international security relations. While most existing works on nuclear
proliferation deal with the question of nuclear acquisition, T. V. Paul explains
why some states have decided to forswear nuclear weapons even when they have
the technological capability or potential capability to develop them, and why
some states already in possession of nuclear arms choose to dismantle them.
In Power Versus Prudence Paul develops a prudential-realist model, arguing
that a nation's national nuclear choices depend on specific regional security
contexts: the non-great power states most likely to forgo nuclear weapons are
those in zones of low and moderate conflict, while nations likely to acquire
such capability tend to be in zones of high conflict and engaged in protracted
conflicts and enduring rivalries. He demonstrates that the choice to forbear
acquiring nuclear weapons is also a function of the extent of security interdependence
that states experience with other states, both allies and adversaries. He applies
the comparative case study method to pairs of states with similar characteristics—Germany/Japan,
Canada/Australia, Sweden/Switzerland, Argentina/Brazil—in addition to analysing
the nuclear choices of South Africa, Ukraine, South Korea, India, Pakistan, and
Israel. Paul concludes by questioning some of the prevailing supply-side approaches
to non-proliferation, offering an explication of the security variable by linking
nuclear proliferation with protracted conflicts and enduring rivalries.

Description: Soon after nuclear weapons devastated the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
Bernard Brodie and several colleagues wrote The Absolute Weapon, which
predicted that the atomic bomb would revolutionize international politics. In The
Absolute Weapon Revisited, a group of noted scholars explores the contemporary
role of nuclear weapons in the world after the end of the Cold War. Although
superpower rivalry has faded, the complexities of living with nuclear weapons
remain.
Working from different theoretical perspectives, the contributors offer a set
of provocative assessments of nuclear deterrence and the risks of nuclear proliferation
and disarmament. Some argue that assured destruction capabilities remain important,
while others argue that nuclear deterrence will be increasingly irrelevant. Arms
control, crisis stability, and continuity and change in nuclear doctrine as well
as new issues such as virtual nuclear states and information warfare are some
of the issues addressed by the contributors to The Absolute Weapon Revisited. The
contributors are Zachary Davis, Colin S. Gray, Richard J. Harknett, Ashok Kapur,
Robert Manning, William C. Martel, Eric Mlyn, John Mueller, T. V. Paul, George
Quester, and James J. Wirtz.

ethnic and religious conflict, environmental degradation, and the spread of weapons
of mass destruction. The book offers a comprehensive account of the prospects

Published by: University of North Carolina Press
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: The armed forces may no longer rule nations
throughout Latin America, but they continue to influence democratic governments
across the region. This book offers fresh theoretical insights into the dilemmas
facing Latin American politicians as they struggle to gain full control over
their military institutions. Latin America has changed in profound ways since
the end of the Cold War, the re-emergence of democracy, and the ascendancy of
free-market economies and trade blocs. The nine contributors to this volume recognize
the necessity of finding intellectual approaches that speak to these transformations.
They utilize a wide range of contemporary models to analyze recent political
and economic reform in nations throughout Latin America, presenting case studies
on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, and Venezuela. Bridging
the gap between Latin American studies and political science, these essays not
only explore the forces that shape civil-military relations in Latin America
but also address larger questions of political development and democratization
in the region.

Title: Constructing Highland Cities in Southeast Asia: Baguio (Philippines) and Dalat

Author(s): Robert R. Reed
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: For all of their differences, Southeast
Asian countries share common problems. Rapid population growth will continue
to steer urban areas well into the twenty-first
century. Given the shortage of formal infrastructure systems actually in place,
and the tendency of urban newcomers to improvise solutions, actual and potentially
serious environmental damage has and will continue to occur. Acceleration in
demand, coupled with inadequacy of infrastructure response, requires innovative
and effective solutions. This imperative places the issues explored in this
book—an
outgrowth of an international research conference held in 1998 at Arizona State
University—at the forefront of Southeast Asian research. These conference proceedings
do more than report on what has happened. They also provide an ideal starting
point for critically necessary discussion and brainstorming.
Title: The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's
Movement Changed America
Author(s): Ruth Rosen
Published by: Viking/Penguin
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: This is a thorough introduction to the modern American women's movement by a
history professor who participated in its struggles. Ruth Rosen introduces her
book by reminding readers of discriminatory practices that were common in pre-1960s
America: "Harvard's Lamont Library was off-limits to women for fear they would
distract male students. Newspaper ads separated jobs by sex; bars often refused
to serve women; some states even excluded women from jury duty; no women ran
big corporations or universities, worked as firefighters or police officers." She
then proceeds to delineate the changes that make such discrimination seem unthinkable
today. Her research takes in popular books, magazines, newspaper articles and
television, the details of politics and law, and the individual liberation stories
of many women.
Title: Managing Ethnic Conflict in Africa: Pressures
and Incentives for Cooperation
Author(s): Donald Rothchild
ISBN: 0-815-77593-8 (paper)
Published by: Brookings Institution Press
Year of Publication: 1997
Description: Ethnic conflict in Africa is reaching critical levels. Governments are being
toppled. National economies are collapsing. And the potential for civil unrest--even
violent encounters--throughout the continent threatens to engulf not only Africa,
but much of the world.
Africa's salvation depends on the development and implementation of effective
institutions of ethnic conflict management. In this book, Donald Rothchild analyzes
the successes and failures of attempts at conflict resolution in different African
countries and offers comprehensive ideas for successful mediation.
To provide a clear picture of the current situation, Rothchild traces Africa's
ethnic unrest back to its beginnings during the period of colonial rule, through
the post-independence era, when governments built the institutions of government
control and consolidated power, and into its more recent period when it is possible
to discern greater democratic governance.
Managing Ethnic Conflict in Africa demonstrates how negotiation and
mediation can promote conflict resolution and a political environment that fosters
economic development. It offers a compelling case for the use of both political
incentives (power sharing, elections, and fiscal programs) and a variety of actions
(including principles of inclusiveness, coercion, and punishment) to support
reconciliation. This "carrot and stick" approach can be employed by a state to
promote increased political bargaining while maintaining stability, and by outside
intermediaries to cope with conflict brought on by the breakdown of domestic
regimes.

Title: The Ties That Divide: Ethnic
Politics, Foreign Policy, and International Conflict
Author(s): Stephen M. Saideman
ISBN: 0-231-12229-2 (paper), 0-231-12228-4
(cloth)
Published by: Columbia University Press
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: Ethnic conflicts have created
crises within NATO and between NATO and Russia, produced massive flows
of refugees, destabilized neighboring
countries, and increased
the risk of nuclear war between Pakistan and India. Interventions have cost the
United States, the United Nations, and other actors billions of dollars.
While scholars and policymakers have devoted considerable attention to this issue,
the question of why states take sides in other countries' ethnic conflicts has
largely been ignored. Most attention has been directed at debating the value of
particular techniques to manage ethnic conflict, including partition, prevention,
mediation, intervention, and the like. However, as the Kosovo dispute demonstrated,
one of the biggest obstacles to resolving ethnic conflicts is getting the outside
actors to cooperate. The Ties That Divide addresses this question.
Saideman argues that domestic political competition compels countries to support
the side of an ethnic conflict with which constituents share ethnic ties. He
applies this argument to the Congo crisis, the Nigerian civil war, and Yugoslavia's
civil wars. He then applies quantitative analyses to ethnic conflicts in the
1990s. Finally, he discusses recent events in Kosovo, whether the findings of
these case studies apply more broadly, and the implications for broader debates
in foreign policy analysis and international relations theory.

Description: Once a sleeping giant, China today is the world’s fastest growing economy—the leading manufacturer of cell phones, laptop computers, and digital cameras—a dramatic turnaround that alarms many Westerners. But in China: Fragile Superpower, Susan L. Shirk opens up the black box of Chinese politics and finds that the real danger lies elsewhere—not in China’s astonishing growth but in the deep insecurity of its leaders. China’s leaders face a troubling paradox: the more developed and prosperous the country becomes, the more insecure and threatened they feel.
Shirk, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State responsible for China, knows many of today’s Chinese rulers personally and has studied them for three decades. She offers invaluable insight into how they think—and what they fear.
Shirk argues that rising powers such as China tend to provoke wars in large part because other countries mishandle them. Unless we understand China’s brittle internal politics and the fears that motivate its leaders, we face the very real possibility of conflict with China. This book provides that understanding.

Title: France, the United States, and the Algerian War
Author(s): Irwin Wall
ISBN: 0-520-22534-1
Published by: University of California Press
Year of Publication: 2001
Description: In recent years the Algerian War has reclaimed
its place in popular memory in France. Its interpreters have continued to view
the conflict as a national, internal drama and de Gaulle as the second-time savior
who ended French participation in a ruinous colonial war. By analyzing the conflict
in terms of French foreign policy, Wall shows the pivotal role of the United
States and counters certain political myths that portray de Gaulle as an emancipator
of colonial peoples. Wall's interpretation of the Algerian conflict may well
spark controversy and will open important new avenues of debate concerning postwar
international affairs.
Wall unravels the threads of France's war with Algeria, the American role in
the fall of the Fourth Republic, the long shadow of Charles de Gaulle, and the
decisive postwar power of the United States. At the heart of this study is an
analysis of how Washington helped bring de Gaulle to power and a penetrating
revisionist account of his Algerian policy. Departing from widely held interpretations
of the Algerian War, Wall approaches the conflict as an international diplomatic
crisis whose outcome was primarily dependent on French relations with Washington,
the NATO alliance, and the United Nations, rather than on military engagement.
Title: Committing to Peace: The Successful Settlement of Civil Wars
Author(s): Barbara F. Walter
ISBN: 0-691-08931-0
Published by: Princeton University Press
Year of Publication: 2002
Description: Why do some civil wars end in successfully
implemented peace settlements while others are fought to the finish? Numerous
competing theories address this question. Yet not until now has a study combined
the historical sweep, empirical richness, and conceptual rigor necessary to
put them thoroughly to the test and draw lessons invaluable to students, scholars,
and policymakers. Using data on every civil war fought between 1940 and 1992,
Barbara Walter details the conditions that lead combatants to partake in what
she defines as a three-step process—the decision on whether to initiate
negotiations, to compromise, and, finally, to implement any resulting terms.
Her key finding: rarely are such conflicts resolved without active third-party
intervention.
Walter argues that for negotiations to succeed it is not enough for the opposing
sides to resolve the underlying issues behind a civil war. Instead the combatants
must clear the much higher hurdle of designing credible guarantees on the terms
of agreement—something that is difficult without outside assistance. Examining
conflicts from Greece to Laos, China to Columbia, Bosnia to Rwanda, Walter confirms
just how crucial the prospect of third-party security guarantees and effective
power-sharing pacts can be—and that adversaries do, in fact, consider
such factors in deciding whether to negotiate or fight. While taking many other
variables
into account and acknowledging that third parties must also weigh the costs
and benefits of involvement in civil war resolution, this study reveals not
only
how peace is possible, but probable.

Title: Governance and Politics of the Internet Economy: Historical Transformation or
Ordinary Politics with a New Vocabulary?
Author(s): Steven Weber, John Zysman
Published by: Oxford University Press
Year of Publication: 2000
Description: Driven by two fundamental processes, rapid technological change and social innovation
and reorganization, a new digital economy is emerging. Rather than merely adding
an internet sector to the economy, this new E-conomy has brought about tools
for thought, tools that transform every sector of the economy by amplifying brainpower
the way steam engines amplified muscle power during the Industrial Revolution.
For analytic purposes, the rise of the E-conomy can be told as a story composed
of 1) networks and tools, 2) e-business and e-society, 3) the productivity dilemma
resolved, and 4) governance and politics. In the short run, the transormative
processes unleashed by the E-conomy are likely to lead to new bargains among
existing coalitions and interest groups. In the long run, the changes underway
promise to fundamentally alter the political sociologies of vast communities,
give rise to new interests and coalitions, and transform the institutional foundation
of social, economic, and political life.

Description: This book presents the perspectives of policy-makers and economists on a highly
topical subject. Plant breeding patents, the ownership of biological innovation,
and associated intellectual property rights (IPR) are the subject of increased
attention worldwide. They are particularly relevant in the field of agricultural
biotechnology, but until recently evoked little policy analysis. IPRs are particularly
relevant in the field of agricultural biotechnology. They are issues affecting
public and private sector organizations and companies, and are significant for
developing as well as developed countries.
