All Judges 

Are Political— 

Except When 

They Are Not 

Acceptable 

Hypocrisies and 

the Rule of Law 

Keith J. Bybee 

We live in an age where one 

person’s judicial “activist” 

legislating from the bench 

is another’s impartial arbiter 

fairly interpreting the law. After the Supreme Court 

ended the 2000 Presidential election with its decision 

in Bush v. Gore, many critics claimed that the justices 

had simply voted their political preferences. But Justice 

Clarence Thomas, among many others, disagreed and 

insisted that the Court had acted according to legal 

principle, stating: “I plead with you, that, whatever you 

do, don’t try to apply the rules of the political world to 

this institution; they do not apply.” 

The legitimacy of our courts rests on their capacity to 

give broadly acceptable answers to controversial questions. 

Yet Americans are divided in their beliefs about 

whether our courts operate on unbiased legal principle 

or political interest. Comparing law to the practice of 

common courtesy, Keith Bybee explains how our courts 

not only survive under these suspicions of hypocrisy, 

but actually depend on them. 

“Judicial authority is not in grave danger, at least in the 

terms that some alarmists imagine. In conversation 

with mainstream approaches to judicial practice, this 

remarkably original work contends that law's deceits 

sustain order and moderate conflict, all the while sustaining 

hierarchy. A major accomplishment.”

Presidential 

Prerogative 

Imperial Power in 

an Age of Terrorism 

Michael A. Genovese 

In the aftermath of the 

September 11, 2001 attacks 

against the United States, 

the Bush administration 

acted boldly and often 

unilaterally to thwart terrorism 

at home and abroad, claiming that the President 

had broad constitutional powers in the areas of war and 

foreign policy. 

This work examines the evolution of claims of independent 

executive power by exploring the roots and 

development of executive prerogative in America. The 

author traces the concept back to its British use and the 

theories that animated prerogative in England, as well as 

whether prerogative was "Americanized" by the founders. 

He further explores where one might find constitutional 

or legal support for prerogative, how the concept 

and practice of prerogative has evolved over time, the 

extent to which the Bush presidency mirrors or departs 

from previous examples of presidential prerogative, 

and, finally, whether "necessity" is a legitimate reason to 

adopt prerogative. Balanced and well-written, this work 

is the first to explore deeply the roots and evolution of 

prerogative and its application in the age of terrorism. 

“This well-researched and elegantly written book 

makes a significant contribution to understanding the 

sources and limits of presidential power in the twentyfirst 

century.” 

—Meena Bose, Hofstra University 

“Genovese provides an excellent critique of all broad 

claims of presidential prerogative, demolishing the argument 

that there is some sort of basis for prerogative 

powers within the constitution itself.”

Public Engagement 

for Public 

Education 

Joining Forces to 

Revitalize Democracy 

and Equalize Schools 

Edited by Marion Orr 

and John Rogers 

This book speaks to the potential 

for students, parents, community 

members, and civic 

leaders to join forces and create 

more equitable schooling. 

Such engagement can expand 

access to quality educational 

pathways which in turn paves 

the way to a stronger voice in 

society and the promise of the 

American dream. The book argues 

that nothing less than the 

health of American democracy 

is at stake if certain segments 

of society are blocked 

access to those pathways. 

“This book adds critical insight 

on the ways parents and community 

members can and must 

work together to demand 

schools that provide a quality 

education for every child.”

Reform 

Michael Paris 

“This remarkable book shows us 

how reform lawyers can create 

political options and opportunities 

through argument and 

the very language of law. The 

result opens up the black box 

of legal mobilization in a way 

that few studies do. Here is a 

robust new perspective on the 

relationship between law and 

politics.” 

—Douglas Reed, 

Georgetown University 

“Paris adds considerably to the 

debate about the impact of 

courts on social policy. His 

book replaces the simple ‘can 

courts effect social change?’ 

question with a much more 

nuanced examination of the 

roles of courts and lawyers in 

mobilizing support for social 

change. I have not come across 

such a beautifully written piece 

in quite some time.”

Taking Local 

Control 

Immigration Policy 

Activism in U.S. 

Cities and States 

Edited by Monica 

Varsanyi 

With the number of undocumented 

immigrants in 

the United States at an alltime 

high and Congressional 

immigration reform at 

a standstill, cities and states across the nation have leapt 

into the fray, creating a wide range of policies—some 

more controversial than others—to address illegal immigration 

within their jurisdictions. While these policies 

continue to receive wide coverage in the popular press, 

they have received very little attention in the scholarly 

literature. This volume aims to fill the gap by offering 

perspectives from political scientists, legal scholars, 

sociologists, and geographers at the leading edge of this 

emerging field. Drawing on high profile case studies, the 

contributors seek to explain the explosion in state and 

local immigration policy activism, account for the policies 

that have been considered and passed, and explore 

the tensions that have emerged within communities and 

between different levels of government. 

“This timely and significant volume provides a very 

strong analysis of a political debate that is relevant 

today and will continue to be so for the seeable future. 

There is a great need for it.” 

—Rodolfo O. de la Garza, Columbia University 

“The breadth of approaches represented here will 

make this an invaluable resource for those interested 

in this important subject. The book will enhance our 

understanding of the new landscapes of immigration 

federalism.”

One Alliance, 

Two Lenses 

U.S.-Korea Relations 

in a New Era 

Gi-Wook Shin 

One Alliance, Two Lenses 

examines U.S.-Korea relations 

in a short but dramatic period 

(1992–2003). Shin argues that 

U.S.-ROK relations, linked 

to the issue of national identity 

for Koreans, are largely 

treated as a matter of policy 

for Americans—a difference 

stemming from each nation's 

relative power and role in the 

international system. Offering 

rich empirical data and analysis, 

Shin also presents policy 

suggestions to improve the 

countries’ critically important 

relationship. 

“Shin unearths a fundamental 

mismatch in the ways Koreans 

and Americans see their relationship. 

Understanding the 

mismatch would help us better 

grasp, and hopefully improve, 

a relationship that remains 

vital to the region’s peace and 

prosperity.”

Allies yet Rivals 

International Politics 

in 18th Century 

Europe 

Marco Cesa 

This book provides a typology 

of alliances that distinguishes 

four possible types and sheds 

light on interallied relations, 

indicating their causes and 

effects. Historical case studies 

from 18th-century Europe, 

beginning with the War of the 

Spanish Succession and proceeding 

chronologically until 

the eve of the French Revolution, 

offer readers an overview 

of almost the entire century. 

“Marco Cesa breaks new ground 

in exploring the dynamics of 

alliance formation from a domestic 

perspective, drawing on 

classical European political theory 

and historical case studies 

to arrive at important insights 

about interstate association. 

His work is at the cutting edge 

of contemporary international 

relations scholarship in the realist 

tradition.”

Phillip Stalley 

Phillip Stalley examines the 

development of Chinese law 

governing the environmental 

impact of foreign investors, 

describes how regional competition 

for investment has 

influenced environmental 

regulation, and analyzes the 

environmental practices of foreign 

and Chinese companies. 

He finds only modest evidence 

that integration with the global 

economy has transformed 

China into a pollution haven. 

“Philip Stalley effectively demonstrates 

that the environmental 

impact of foreign investment 

in China is not simply a race 

to the bottom but that many 

foreign firms have actually 

helped to raise standards. This 

book is a must for all interested 

in understanding the impact 

of foreign investment upon 

China’s environment.”

Becoming Asia 

Change and Continuity 

in Asian International 

Relations Since 

World War II 

Alice Lyman Miller and 

Richard Wich 

Becoming Asia offers a fascinating 

and comprehensive 

account of how the region 

has evolved since World 

War II. Unlike existing 

works, this student-friendly 

text covers South, Southeast, and Central Asia along 

with East Asia. It explains how Asia, hardly more than 

a geographic expression at the end of 1945, became the 

vibrant, assertive region that it is today. 

Major themes explored include the interplay between nationalism 

and Cold War bipolarity during the first postwar 

decades, the rise of largely export-led economies making 

the region increasingly the global center of gravity, and the 

search for regional integration. Excerpts from primary documents 

augment the narrative, enabling readers to examine 

the mind-sets and policy choices of key figures to assess 

their goals and evaluate the effects of their decisions. 

The book also traces the origins and evolution of deeprooted 

issues that remain high on the international agenda, 

such as the Taiwan question, the division of Korea and the 

threat of nuclear proliferation, the Kashmir issue and the 

nuclearized Indian-Pakistani conflict, and offers an account 

of the rise of China and its implications for regional and 

global security and prosperity. 

“Alice Lyman Miller and Richard Wich have done a great 

service in this thorough and thoughtful volume. The 

historical depth, detailed analysis, and broad geographic 

scope of Becoming Asia put it in a class by itself 

among the fine surveys of Asian international relations 

in the last century.”

War and the 

Health of 

Nations 

Zaryab Iqbal 

Assessments of the costs of 

war generally focus on the 

financial, political, military, 

and territorial risks associated 

with involvement 

in violent conflict. Often 

overlooked are the human 

costs of war, particularly 

their effects on population well being. In War and the 

Health of Nations, Zaryab Iqbal explores these human 

costs by offering the first large-scale empirical study of 

the relationship between armed conflict and population 

health. Working within the influential “human 

security” paradigm—which emphasizes the security of 

populations rather than states as the central object of 

global security—Iqbal analyzes the direct and indirect 

mechanisms through which violent conflict degrades 

population health. 

“For far too long we have known far too little about the 

aftereffects of political violence. To date, researchers 

have been justifiably focused on the determinants and 

dynamics of large-scale conflict. Zaryab Iqbal helps 

inaugurate a new focus regarding the outcomes of 

conflict (broadly conceived) on health (also broadly 

conceived). War and the Health of Nations immediately 

contributes to our understanding of the topic as well 

as maps out a new direction for conflict studies, both 

theoretically as well as empirically. This book addresses 

one of the most crucial issues confronted by our age in 

a manner befitting the topic involved—seriously, rigorously, 

and elegantly.”

Between Threats

U.S. Discrete Military 

Operations in the 

Post-Cold War World 

Micah Zenko 

“Zenko’s analysis of the limited 

use of force is brilliant and 

timely. He breaks new ground 

in moving beyond Cold War 

thinking to assess the efficacy 

of specific military measures in 

a unipolar environment. This 

work is a major step in sharpening 

the application of US military 

force to achieve political 

aims abroad. A ‘must-read’ for 

anyone—military or civilian— 

who wants to participate in or 

understand US national security 

decision-making.” 

—Gen. Wesley Clark, 

U.S. Army (ret.), former Supreme 

Allied Commander Europe 

“This book is readable, relevant, 

and insightful. It represents 

exceptional analysis on a topic 

that few have explored in such 

detail. I recommend it to all civilian 

and military leaders pondering 

the utility and efficacy 

of direct military strikes against 

sensitive targets.”

“This important and comprehensive 

book goes beyond the 

‘usual suspects’ discussed in a 

transatlantic relations volume— 

to include interesting cases 

such as Turkey, Ukraine and 

Georgia. It successfully engages 

with national security policy 

and the issue of strategic culture, 

as well as the implications 

of transatlantic security trends.”

“Dr. Mandel’s works are usually

correctly advances the logic

threat to the US, the West, and

Localising 

Power in Post- 

Authoritarian 

Indonesia 

A Southeast Asia 

Perspective 

Vedi R. Hadiz 

Accepting 

Authoritarianism 

State-Society Relations 

in China’s Reform Era 

Teresa Wright 

Why hasn't the emergence 

of capitalism led China's 

citizenry to press for liberal 

democratic change? This book 

argues that the explanation 

lies in China's combination 

of state-led development, late 

industrialization, and socialist legacies. Together, these factors 

have affected popular perceptions of socioeconomic 

mobility and polarization, economic dependence on the 

state, and political options, giving citizens incentives to 

perpetuate the political status quo. 

Accepting Authoritarianism offers a detailed analysis of 

China’s major socioeconomic groups, and also places China 

in an explicitly comparative theoretical and empirical 

framework to address the ways in which its development 

shares broader features of state-led late industrialization 

and post-socialist transformation. Comparisons are made 

with Mexico, Tunisia, Indonesia, South Korea, Brazil, Russia, 

Eastern and Central Europe, and Vietnam. 

“Ingeniously and exhaustively plumbs the literature on five 

key social groups in contemporary China to build a powerful 

and convincing case arguing that the incentive structure 

facing Chinese citizens encourages them to sustain 

the rule of the Communist Party—at least for awhile.”

“Critical scholarship at its best, 

this book is a powerful corrective 

to those who see decentralization 

as a one-size-fits-all 

solution to bad governance. 

Hadiz convincingly argues that 

Indonesia's decentralization 

prompted not the positive outcomes 

its advocates predicted, 

but a scramble for local power 

by corrupt politicians, gangsters 

and other predators.”

The Dragon in 

the Room 

China and the Future 

of Latin American 

Industrialization 

Kevin P. Gallagher and 

Roberto Porzecanski 

In the eyes of many, China's 

unprecedented economic rise 

has brought nothing but good 

news to the countries of Latin 

America and the Caribbean. 

Indeed, China's growing appetite 

for primary products, and 

the ability of Latin America 

to supply that demand, has 

played a key role in restoring 

growth in Latin America. But 

the dragon in the room that 

few are talking about is the fact 

that China is simultaneously 

out-competing Latin American 

manufacturers at home and in 

world markets—so much so 

that it may threaten the ability 

of the region to generate longterm 

economic growth. 

“Written in an easily accessible 

style, this timely book is a 

must read for policy makers 

and analysts of Latin American 

development. ”

Mexico’s 

Democratic 

Challenges 

Politics, Government, 

and Society 

Edited by Andrew Selee 

and Jacqueline Peschard 

In this comprehensive new 

collection intended for use in 

undergraduate courses a group 

of distinguished scholars examines 

recent political developments 

in Mexico—including its 

2006 election and the breakdown 

in consensus that nearly 

resulted—in order to assess the 

progress of its democratization. 

“This is a very important 

book that fills a gap in our 

knowledge regarding recent 

political change in Mexico, 

particularly with regard to the 

2006 presidential elections and 

their aftermath. It broadens 

our understanding of democracy 

in Mexico beyond the 

electoral arena and identifies 

some of the main challenges 

for defending and expanding 

democratic rights.”

The New Labour 

Experiment 

Change and Reform 

Under Blair and 

Brown 

Florence Faucher-King 

and Patrick Le Galès 

This book provides a clear 

assessment of the New Labour 

public policies and their 

outcomes from 1997 to 2009. 

The authors detail how Blair 

and Brown built a large controlling 

bureaucracy, making 

Britain’s government one of the 

most centralized in the world. 

Critically, they point to New 

Labour’s overarching program 

of authoritative controls, massive 

surveillance, and illiberal 

social policies, in stark contrast 

its European counterparts. This 

book offers a fascinating account 

of the policies that lead 

to New Labour’s downfall. 

“A masterful and pitiless account 

of the dark side of New Labour. 

Highly recommended.”
