In Search of Canadian Political Culture
Nelson Wiseman
In Search of Canadian Political Culture will become a
vital resource for work in a number of fields – politics,
sociology, history. Wiseman’s book is provocative,
stimulating, rich in historical detail and insights,
and written with both skill and boldness. For those
interested in the puzzle of Canadian identity, it doesn’t
get better than this.
– David Taras, co-author, The Last Word: Media
Coverage of the Supreme Court of Canada
In erudite, engaging prose, In Search of Canadian
Political Culture explores ways of understanding
Canada’s multi-layered and diverse political culture. It
makes the case for bottom-up, regional analyses of
Canadian politics in order to fill a gap in how we think
and write about the country.
Wiseman focuses on the interplay of five broad waves
of immigration, plumbs their ideological orientations,
and presents provincial political parties and institutions
as their exoskeletons. The book’s first half explores
and builds upon national perspectives and established
conceptual pathways by examining Canada’s ideological
foundations, the significance of formative events,
economic structures and classes, and survey research.
Throughout, Wiseman treats constitutions and
institutions as culture. The second half traverses the
regions from east to west, highlighting the singularity
of each and assigning to the provinces inventive
metaphorical images that conjure up the politics of
other or older societies.

Conventional Choices
Maritime Leadership Politics
Ian Stewart and David K. Stewart
Selecting a leader is a momentous and defining choice
for a political party. Leaders symbolize their party and
are a primary factor in election outcomes. While much
is known about the selection of national party leaders,
less is known about the provincial selection process,
particularly in the Maritimes. Breaking new ground,
Conventional Choices examines twenty-five different
leadership elections in three maritime provinces. The
analysis draws on an extraordinarily rich data set
spanning thirty-two years to explore the backgrounds,
attitudes, and motivations of those who select party
leaders. It is an impressive study that offers fresh
insights into leadership selection and Maritime party
politics.
Ian Stewart is a professor of political science
at Acadia University. David K. Stewart is a
professor of political science at the University
of Calgary.

A monumental achievement of impeccable
scholarship. Conventional Choices combines astute
quantitative analysis of a remarkably wideranging

the secondary literature of Maritime politics and
an encyclopaedic culling of newspaper sources.
The analysis is never less than sure-footed and
the conclusions are insightful.

Nunavut
Rethinking Political Culture
Ailsa Henderson
The first book published on Nunavut politics, Nunavut
explores the relationship between political culture
and the development of Nunavut as a distinct political
entity in Canada. Ailsa Henderson brings together
primary data from archives, interviews, surveys, and
election results to offer a comprehensive account of
the attitudes and behaviours of those living in Canada’s
newest territory.
In the first half of the book, Henderson examines the
impact of three cultural fragments on contemporary
political life: traditional Inuit approaches to
governance, federal efforts to integrate Inuit into the
political system, and the institutional structures of
the Northwest Territories. In the second, she links
these features to contemporary political attitudes
and behaviour. Henderson assesses the impact
of the negotiation strategy on the Nunavut Land
Claim Agreement and Political Accord, the impact
of consensus politics on electoral campaigns and
legislative proceedings, and the attitudes and
behaviours of the electorate, particularly toward current
political arrangements.
Henderson argues that there is something distinct
emerging among the Inuit that constitutes part of
their political culture. Her book will appeal to political
scientists, sociologists, and others interested in
culture and politics, Aboriginal studies, and northern
development.

From World Order to Global Disorder
States, Markets, and Dissent
Dorval Brunelle
Translated by Richard Howard
The French philosopher and activist, Jean Rostand,
said: “It is horrible to see everything one detested in
the past coming back wearing the colours of the future.”
Dorval Brunelle’s wonderful new book explains
how economic globalization has erased the international
consensus for justice that emerged out of the
horrors of World War II and exposes this new system
for the regressive force it really is.
– Maude Barlow, National Chairperson,
Council of Canadians
From World Order to Global Disorder demonstrates
the profound effect of globalization on relations
between the state, civil society, and markets, as well
as on collective and individual rights. As neo-liberalism
evolves into globalization, governments are eschewing
their role as public guardians and are instead bartering
the very assets and resources their citizens’ labour
and activism created and preserved. However, no
constitution makes governments owners of collective
assets: governments are merely trustees. In this
context, the world’s citizens have a tremendous task
before them: in the wake of the welfare state, their
social forums are indispensable in the quest for a
more just and equitable world.
Dorval Brunelle is a professor of Sociology
and Director of the Observatoire des Amériques
at the Université du Québec à Montréal.

The authoritative account of the rise of the global
social justice movement by an ‘insider,’ who
also happens to be one of Canada’s leading
social scientists. Dorval Brunelle’s book will be
of interest to political scientists, economists,
sociologists, and citizens with an appetite to
discover what lies behind the headlines about
lost jobs, world trade talks, growing inequalities,
and popular unrest in much of the world.

Alliance and Illusion
Canada and the World, 1945–1984
Robert Bothwell
A book of great sophistication – fluently composed,
and with flare; wearing its considerable learning
lightly; and written by an author in full command of
his field. Not only is it the first sustained historical
treatment of Canadian foreign policy post-war, but it is
also a rumination on the Canadian condition in years
of achievement and fragility, a paradox that Bothwell
captures brilliantly. Every page crackles with good
writing and good sense.
– Norman Hillmer, co-author of From Umpire to
Empire: Canada and the World into the Twenty-First
Century.
Alliance and Illusion is a political, economic, and
social history that examines both domestic and
international aspects of Canadian foreign policy.
Robert Bothwell provides nuanced studies of
Canada’s leaders, examining John Diefenbaker’s
muddles, Lester B. Pearson’s realism, and Pierre
Trudeau’s limited policy vision. He also discusses
international currents that drove Canadian external
affairs, from American influence over Vietnam and
the draft dodgers, to the French case of de Gaulle’s
eruption into Quebec in 1967.

Multiculturalism and
the Foundations of Meaningful Life
Reconciling Autonomy, Identity, and Community
Andrew Robinson
Selecting a leader is a momentous and defining choice
Theories of liberal multiculturalism seek to reconcile
cultural rights with universal liberal principles. Some
focus on individual autonomy; others emphasize
communal identity. Andrew Robinson argues that liberal
multiculturalism can be justified without privileging
either. By appealing to the deeper value of meaningful
life, he shows how autonomy and community are
actually interdependent. He concludes by illustrating
– with reference to national and ethnic minorities,
indigenous peoples, and traditional communities – the
policy principles that can be derived from this position.
An innovative account of the theory and practice
of liberal multiculturalism, Multiculturalism and the
Foundations of Meaningful Life will interest students,
scholars, activists and policy makers working in areas
of political theory, multiculturalism, indigenous peoples,
and ethnic and religious minorities.
Andrew M. Robinson is an assistant
professor of contemporary studies and political
science at Wilfrid Laurier University.

fundamentally change the debate. His book is
like a breath of fresh air on the subject.

Bringing the Passions Back In
The Emotions in Political Philosophy
Edited by Rebecca Kingston and Leonard Ferry
Bringing the Passions Back In draws upon the history of
political theory to shed light on the place of emotions in
politics and illustrates how sophisticated thinking about
the relationship between reason and passion can inform
contemporary democratic political theory.
These re-discovered resources are used to revise the
rationalist and idealist model for political life in Anglo-
American versions of liberalism. The rationalist ideal
has been met with cynicism
in progressive circles for undermining the role of emotion
and passion in the public realm. By exploring the social
and political implications of the emotions in the history
of ideas, contributors examine new paradigms for
liberalism and offer new appreciations of the potential for
passion in political philosophy and practice.
This important overview of the place of emotions within
the history of political thought sheds new light on
problems facing contemporary liberal and democratic
political theory. Bringing the Passions Back In will
interest scholars and students in political theory,
the history of ideas, sociology, psychology, cultural
studies, and philosophy.

International Ecopolitical Theory
Edited by Eric Laferrière and Peter J. Stoett
International Ecopolitical Theory assembles some of
the top thinkers in the field to provide an invaluable
overview of the main critical strands of theory in global
environmental politics. By framing the environmental
question within a historical and philosophical context,
it highlights problems inherent in economistic and
managerial approaches to sustainable development
policy. Emphasizing environmental consciousness
as a cultural norm in an evolving set of global
relations, it tackles important debates on naturalism,
foundationalism, and radical ecology. Ultimately, it
makes a convincing case for the necessity of a critical
international relations theory duly informed by the
paradoxes of ecological governance. With contributions
from experts in political science, philosophy, ecology,
history, geography, and systems theory, this collection
will have an impact across many disciplines.
Eric Laferrière is Co-Coordinator of the Liberal
Arts Program and Co-Chair of the Department
of Humanities, Philosophy and Religion at John

Critical Policy Studies
Edited by Michael Orsini and Miriam Smith
Critical Policy Studies is, quite simply, a breath of
fresh air. It is a timely intervention into the study
of public policy in Canada that covers important
substantive ground and raises critical questions about
the boundaries of policy studies as a field. This book
will excite undergraduate and graduate students and
stimulate new approaches to the study of public policy
in Canada.
– Leah Vosko, editor of Precarious Employment:
Understanding Labour Market Insecurity in Canada
Critical Policy Studies describes the emergence of new
issues in Canadian public policy in the neoliberal era
and surveys the recent evolution of critical approaches
to policy studies. Traditional definitions of public policy
in Canada have been challenged by globalization, the
transition to the knowledge economy, and the rise of
new technologies. These changes are catapulting new
issues onto the Canadian policy agenda, including the
environment, biotechnology, and public health, as well
as new stakeholders.
Contributors describe these issues, conceptualize
the ways in which public policy questions cut across
the traditional fields of policy, and present critical
approaches to policy studies. Chapters cover both
topical approaches including Foucauldian and postempirical
analysis as well as new applications of
established perspectives, such as political economy.
These perspectives are applied to a variety of
important topics, including security issues, Canadian
sovereignty, welfare reform, environmental protocol,
Aboriginal policy, and reproductive technologies.

Reaction and Resistance
Feminism, Law, and Social Change
Edited by Dorothy E. Chunn, Susan B. Boyd, and Hester Lessard
This is an absolutely excellent collection that gets to
the heart of a number of very important policy debates
in Canada from a feminist legal perspective. The two
major strands that weave through all of the papers
– backlash and the effects of neoliberalism – are very
important both theoretically and from an activist perspective.
Greater understanding of how these larger
social processes work will provide significant strength
to scholarly and activist communities.
– Professor Audrey Kobayashi, Queen’s Research Chair
in the Department of Geography, Queen’s University
The image of “backlash” is pervasive in contemporary
debates about the impact of second-wave feminism
on law and policy, but systematic research on the
subject is lacking. Reaction and Resistance addresses
that gap. It analyzes late 20th century responses to
feminism, and asks: to what extent does the concept
of backlash accurately explain reactions to feminism
over time?
Dorothy E. Chunn is a professor of sociology
at Simon Fraser University. Susan B. Boyd
is a professor of Law and holds the Chair
in Feminist Legal Studies at the University
of British Columbia. Hester Lessard is an
associate professor of Law at the University of
Victoria Faculty of Law.

The contributors apply multidisciplinary insights to
analyze reaction and resistance to feminism in different
areas of law and policy, including child custody, child
poverty, sexual harassment, and sexual assault.
Collectively, their studies paint a more complicated,
often contradictory, picture of feminism, law, and social
change than the popular image of backlash suggests.
Reaction and Resistance is an important contribution
to feminist theory about social movements and the
tensions and resonances between these movements
and the larger currents of neo-conservatism and neoliberalism.
It also offers feminists and other activists
empirically grounded knowledge that can be used to
develop legal and political strategies for change.

Defining Rights and Wrongs
Bureaucracy, Human Rights, and Public Accountability
Rosanna Langer
Human rights agencies have been the subject of
intense scrutiny, and sometimes criticism, over the past
decade. There have been numerous studies, reports,
and commissions across the country, but none of
them ask the questions that this book asks about how
the perceptions and values of the participants in the
process shape the outcomes. This is important work
that will add new information to the discourse around
human rights reform and may lead it in new directions.
– Tom Patch, Associate Vice President, Equity,
University of British Columbia
Defining Rights and Wrongs investigates the day-today
practices of low-level officials and intermediaries
as they manage the gap between social relations and
legal meaning in order to construct domestic human
rights complaints. It documents how agency staff
struggle to manage a huge body of claims within a
system of restrictive rules but expansive definitions
of discrimination. It also examines how independent
human rights lawyers and advocacy organizations
challenge human rights commissions and seek to
radically reform the existing commission/tribunal
structure.
Rosanna L. Langer is an assistant professor
in the Law and Justice Department at
Laurentian University.

Attitudinal Decision Making in
the Supreme Court of Canada
C.L. Ostberg and Matthew E. Wetstein
In my estimation, this is the most comprehensive
analysis of the individual voting patterns of Supreme
Court justices to date. No other work… provides as
nuanced an analysis of the ideological variances of the
justices across a range of policy issues. Ostberg and
Wetstein have clearly demonstrated that value preferences
and ideological considerations structure the
voting records of justices… Their work will bolster the
call for greater public scrutiny of judicial appointments
to the Supreme Court of Canada.
– James B. Kelly, author of Governing with the Charter:
Legislative and Judicial Activism and Framers’ Intent
This book provides a comprehensive exploration
of ideological patterns of judicial behaviour in the
Supreme Court of Canada. Relying on an expansive
database of Canadian Supreme Court rulings between
1984 and 2003, the authors present the most
systematic discussion of the attitudinal model of
decision making ever conducted outside the setting
of the US Supreme Court. They test the assumption,
accepted by many political scientists, that conflict in
the courts is due in large part to ideological divisions
among the members. The groundbreaking discussion
of the viability of the attitudinal model as a unifying
theory of judicial behaviour in high courts around the
world will be essential reading for a wide range of legal
scholars and court watchers.

Domestic Reforms
Political Visions and Family Regulation in
British Columbia, 1862–1940
Chris Clarkson
Domestic Reforms tells a complicated story of family
and welfare law reform within the context of British
Columbia’s transformation from a British colonial
enclave to a white settler Canadian province. It inherited
a British legal system that granted married men control
over most family property and imposed few obligations
on them toward their wives and children. Yet from the
1860s onward, lawmakers throughout the Anglo-
American world, including legislators on the Pacific
Coast, began to grant women and children new rights.
Feminist scholars have long debated the reasons for
these reforms. Why did male legislators choose to
depart from patriarchal norms, enacting laws that
eroded husbands’ control over property and increased
their obligations? More important, what were the legal
and social consequences?
Chris Clarkson examines three waves of property,
inheritance, and maintenance law reform, arguing that
each was related to a broader political vision intended
to precipitate vast social and economic effects. He
analyzes the impact of the legislation, with emphasis
on the ambitions of regulated populations, the influence
of the judiciary, and the social and fiscal concerns of
generations of legislators and bureaucrats.

Department at Okanagan College, British

Multiculturalism and the Canadian Constitution
Edited by Stephen Tierney
Multiculturalism and the Canadian Constitution examines
the constitutional, institutional, and legal aspects
of two vital dimensions of “difference” in Canada:
multiculturalism and federalism, and French-English
relations. Contributors situate contemporary legislation
and policy within its historical and political context and
address key components of the evolving Canadian
story: the evolution of multiculturalism within constitutional
law and policy; the territorial dimension of
federalism, which also embraces language policy; and
the role that constitutional interpretation by the courts
has played to construct and enhance Canada as a selfconsciously
multicultural state.

Multicultural Education Policies in
Canada and the United States
Edited by Reva Joshee and Lauri Johnson
This is an enormously important book, highly original
and provocative. The scholarship is impeccable and
the entire volume is artfully constructed. It should
serve as standard fare in any educational policy
library for many years.
– Catherine A. Lugg, author of Kitsch: From Education
to Public Policy
Multicultural Education Policies in Canada and the
United States uses a dialogical approach to examine
responses to increasing cultural and racial diversity in
both countries. It compares and contrasts foundational
myths and highlights the sociopolitical contexts
that affect the conditions of citizenship, access to
education, and inclusion of diverse cultural knowledge
and languages in educational systems.
This will interest readers in the areas of
multiculturalism, education, public policy, and ethnic
studies, and will be valuable to policy developers and
activists in the fields of equity and diversity.
Reva Joshee is an associate professor of
educational theory and policy at the Ontario
Institute for Studies in Education, University
of Toronto. Lauri Johnson is an associate

People, Politics, and Child Welfare in
British Columbia
Edited by Leslie T. Foster and Brian Wharf
People, Politics, and Child Welfare in British Columbia
traces the evolution of policies and programs intended
to protect children in BC from neglect and abuse.
Analyzing this evolution reveals that child protection
policy and practice has reflected the priorities of
politicians and public servants in power. With few
exceptions, efforts to establish effective programs
have focused on structural arrangements, staffing
responsibilities, and rules to regulate the practice of
child welfare workers.
Contributors to this book conclude that these attempts
have been unsuccessful thus far because they have
failed to address the impact of poverty on clients. The
need to respect the cultural traditions and values of
First Nations clients has also been ignored. Effective
services require recognizing and remedying poverty’s
impact, establishing community control over services,
and developing a radically different approach to the
day-to-day practice of child welfare workers.
People, Politics, and Child Welfare in British Columbia
provides a crucial assessment of the state of child
welfare in the province. Practitioners, scholars,
and students in social work, child and youth care,
education, and other human-service professions will
find this book particularly important.

Creating a Modern Countryside
Liberalism and Land Resettlement in British Columbia
James Murton
Exceptionally well-written. This book makes a very significant
contribution indeed to environmental history,
BC history, and intellectual history.
– Barry Ferguson, author of Remaking Liberalism
In the early 1900s, British Columbia embarked on
a brief but intense effort, with long consequences,
to manufacture a modern countryside. For the first
time, the state directly intervened in planning and
implementing land settlement. Creating a Modern
Countryside examines how this process unfolded and
assesses its consequences.
James Murton is an assistant professor of
history at Nipissing University in North Bay,
Ontario.

paper $32.95 (publishing January 2008)
James Murton argues that the state’s relationship
to the environment was determined in the early
twentieth century by the idea of centralized, “scientific”
management of social problems by experts – known
as progressivism or new liberalism. The efforts of new
liberal experts to reshape forests and deserts into
farmland largely failed, due to their inability to properly
comprehend environmental and social complexity.
Ultimately, Murton argues, the environment itself
played a role in ending liberal land resettlement in
the 1920s and 1930s. One ironic outcome of the
program, however, was the expanded state apparatus
that emerged after World War II with an even greater
capacity to manage environmental change.

Navigating Neoliberalism
Self-Determination and the Mikisew Cree First Nation
Gabrielle Slowey
What happens to a First Nation after the successful
negotiation of a land claim? In a globalizing world,
new opportunities for indigenous governance may
lead to the transformation of indigenous socioeconomic
well-being. Navigating Neoliberalism
argues that neoliberal globalization, which drives
government policy toward First Nations in Canada,
also drives First Nation self-determination.
The author studies the development of First Nations
governance in several policy fields, including health,
education, economic development, and housing.
What emerges is a theoretical and empirical picture
of one First Nation as it navigates its way through
neoliberalism. The author concludes that, contrary to
popular belief that First Nations suffer in an age of state
retrenchment, privatization, and decentralization, the
opposite may be true. Indeed, for the Mikisew Cree
First Nation the end result is an opportunity for further
self-determination.
Navigating Neoliberalism tackles a topical issue central
to Canadian politics and Canadian federalism. It will be
of interest to students and practitioners of public policy,
political economy, and political science as well as
members and leaders in First Nations communities.

Organizing the Transnational
Labour, Politics, and Social Change
Edited by Luin Goldring and Sailaja Krishnamurti
Migrants to Canada – whether immigrants selected for
their educational credentials or investment capacity,
temporary workers sought by employers, or refugees
accepted on humanitarian grounds – often maintain or
develop transnational ties and identities that link them
to their homeland or a homeland-based group.
Organizing the Transnational contributes to an
emerging body of scholarship on transnationalism
and diasporas in Canada in several important
ways. It attempts to articulate a cultural politics of
transnationalism by concentrating on Asian and Latin
American migrants in Canada, rather than focusing
separately on economic, political, or social issues.
Contributors also move beyond the conventional focus
on states and migrants to consider a wide array of
institutions, actors, and forms of mobilization that
shape transnational engagements and spaces.
Luin Goldring is an associate professor of
Sociology at York University, Toronto. Sailaja
Krishnamurti is a doctoral candidate in Social
and Political Thought at York University.
By presenting a diverse set of perspectives, including
work by activists from the immigrant advocacy and
NGO sectors as well as academics, Organizing the
Transnational offers a unique approach to transnational
and comparative migration studies that will appeal
to sociologists, political scientists, activists, and
advocates.

From the 1870s until the Great Depression, immigration
was often the question of the hour in Canada.
Politicians, the media, and an array of interest groups
viewed it as essential to nation building, developing
the economy, and shaping Canada’s social and cultural
character. One of the groups most determined to
influence public debate and government policy on the
issue was organized labour, and unionists were often
relentless critics of immigrant recruitment. Guarding
the Gates is the first detailed study of Canadian labour
leaders’ approach to immigration, a key battleground in
struggles between different political factions within the
labour movement.
Guarding the Gates provides new insights into
labour, immigration, social, and political history. It
will be valuable not only to readers interested in the
internal politics of social movements, but to everyone
concerned with long-standing debates about Canadian
national identity, and gender, ethnic, and race relations.

The Triumph of Citizenship
The Japanese and Chinese in Canada, 1941–67
Patricia E. Roy
In this sequel to A White Man’s Province and The
Oriental Question, Patricia E. Roy examines the climax
of antipathy to Asians in Canada: the removal of all
Japanese, including Canadian citizens, from the British
Columbia coast in 1942. At the war’s end, Canada
“repatriated” many to Japan and did not allow their
free return to the coast until 1949. The war, however,
increased respect for Chinese Canadians. In 1947, the
year of the Canadian Citizenship Act, British Columbia
enfranchised them and the federal government
softened its ban on Chinese immigration.
The Triumph of Citizenship explains why Canada
ignored the citizenship rights of Japanese Canadians
and why it strictly limited Chinese immigration. It
also shows how citizenship triumphed as Japanese
Canadians and their supporters in the human rights
movement halted the “repatriation” program and how
Chinese Canadians successfully lobbied for the same
rights as other Canadians to sponsor immigrants. For
Chinese and Japanese Canadians the general revision
of immigration regulations in 1967 marked the final
triumph of citizenship.
Patricia E. Roy is a professor emerita of
history at the University of Victoria and a
member of the Royal Society of Canada.

Race and the City
Chinese Canadian and Chinese American Political Mobilization
Shanti Fernando
Matters of social justice and of diverse cities are
increasingly important, both for scholars of ethnic and
urban studies, and for community groups and policymakers.
Without question, the political participation of
racialized minorities in multicultural cities is a critical
subject, one that Race and the City handles deftly.
– Lloyd Wong, co-editor of Transnational Identities and
Practices in Canada
A fascinating contribution to a dialogue on alternative
forms of political participation by Chinese community
groups in two multicultural North American cities.
Race and the City should be read by students and
scholars of urban politics, race relations, political science,
and ethnic studies, as well as by those community
leaders mobilizing for political change.
– Kim Geron, author of Latino Political Power
September 11, 2001, catapulted North Americans
into a new political dimension in myriad ways, including
increased scrutiny of immigrants and calls for tighter
immigration controls. While such concerns are
certainly not new in Canada or the US, their current
pervasiveness provides a stark backdrop to questions
of the political mobilization of racialized minorities.
Drawing on case studies, interviews, and a detailed
understanding of the racialized legal and sociocultural
histories of both the US and Canada, this important
book argues that while increasing diversity may be
a challenge for systemic inclusiveness, it is one that
must be met if Canada is to uphold its vision of a truly
democratic society.

Racing to the Bottom?
Provincial Interdependence in the Canadian Federation
Edited by Kathryn Harrison
This book gives researchers the opportunity to understand
how specialists in other disciplines and with different
points of view understand the issue of provincial
interdependence. A very important topic, of immediate
concern to policy makers, written by well-known
experts: a winning combination.
– Ron Kneebone, co-author of Past (In)Discretions:
Federal and Provincial Fiscal Policy in Canada
The spectre of a “race to the bottom” is increasingly
prominent in debates about globalization and
also within federal systems where the mobility
of both capital and individuals prompts fears of
interjurisdictional competition with respect to taxes
and environmental and welfare standards. While there
has been no shortage of either political rhetoric or
academic theorizing on this subject, empirical studies
have been in shorter supply. This volume seeks to fill
that gap by asking: are Canadian provinces engaged
in a race to the bottom and, if so, what are the
consequences?
Kathryn Harrison is an associate professor
of political science at the University of British
Columbia, and author of Passing the Buck:
Federalism and Canadian Environmental Policy.

Tales of Two Cities
Women and Municipal Restructuring in London and Toronto
Sylvia Bashevkin
Lucid, succinct, and highly accessible. Readers with
an interest in urban affairs will find this book of great
value, while its women-centred approach to urban
citizenship will appeal to urban analysts and their students
in a range of disciplines. The author’s comparative
analysis of the social, political, and cultural characteristics
of two cities that have recently experienced
governmental reform is particularly compelling.
– Nirmala Rao, co-author of Governing London
This book links a rich and nuanced description of the
roles women played in local government in Toronto
and London to reflections on major political questions
- the nature of urban citizenship and the relationship
between gender and political inclusion. Tales of Two
Cities contributes to our growing understanding about
why cities matter and why women matter to cities.”
– Caroline Andrew, co-editor of Urban Affairs: Back on
the Policy Agenda
In this thought-provoking book, Sylvia Bashevkin
examines the consequences of divergent restructuring
experiences in London and Toronto. By focusing on the
forced amalgamation of local boroughs in Toronto and
the creation of a new metropolitan authority in London,
Tales of Two Cities explores the fallout for women as
urban citizens. Ultimately, context is crucial to whether
municipal change signals pessimism or promise.

Diversity and Equality
The Changing Framework of
Freedom in Canada
Edited by Avigail Eisenberg
Transnational Identities
and Practices in Canada
Edited by Vic Satzewich and
Lloyd Wong
Diversity and Equality
critically examines the
challenge of protecting
rights in diverse societies
such as Canada. It
develops new approaches
in philosophy, law, politics,
and anthropology to
address the goals and
problems associated with
cultural, religious, and
national minority rights.
The contributors to this volume explore the conflicts
between group demands for cultural autonomy and
individual assertions of basic interests. At stake
in these debates about rights and autonomy in
multicultural and multinational democracies is the
very meaning of freedom.

With contributions from
some of Canada’s leading
social scientists, this
collection examines the
meaning and significance
of transnational practices
and identities of immigrant
and ethnic communities in
Canada. The approaches
to transnationalism
developed in this book
help focus attention on
an important, and arguably growing, dimension of
Canadian social life. The chapters offer comparative
and historical context as they focus on transnational
identities and practices within American, Arab
and Muslim, Caribbean, Chinese, Croatian,
Japanese, Jewish, Latin American, South Asian, and
southern European immigrant, ethnic and religious
communities and groups in Canada.
This is the first collection in Canada to provide a
comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination
of transnationalism. It will appeal to scholars and
students interested in issues of immigration,
multiculturalism, ethnicity, and settlements.

Discourses of Denial
Mediations of Race, Gender, and
Violence
Yasmin Jiwani
This book speaks to
me on several levels...
Discourses of Denial
compels Canadian social
scientists to move beyond
simply viewing the United
States as the ‘root of all
evil’ and to examine more
carefully the sexist, racist,
and classist nature of
their own society.
– Walter DeKeseredy,
co-author of Under
Siege: Poverty and
Crime in a Public Housing Community
Discourses of Denial uncovers how racism, sexism,
and violence interweave deep within the foundations
of our society. Using examples from the lives of
immigrant girls and women of colour, Yasmin Jiwani
considers the way accepted definitions of race and
gender shape and influence public consciousness.
With a perspective both academic and activist, she
exposes how media representations of violence
serve the status quo and fail to tell the whole story
about racialized and gendered inequalities.

Critical Disability Theory
Essays in Philosophy, Politics,
Policy, and Law
Edited by Dianne Pothier and
Richard Devlin
People with disabilities
in Canada inhabit
a system of deep
structural, economic,
social, political, legal,
and cultural inequality
-- a regime of discitizenship.
Despite the
widespread belief that
Canada is a country
of liberty, equality,
and inclusiveness,
many persons with disabilities experience social
exclusion and marginalization. They are socially
constructed as second-class citizens.
Critical Disability Theory argues that we need new
ways to think about the nature of disability, a new
understanding of participatory citizenship that
encompasses the disabled, new policies to respond
to their needs, and a new vision of their entitlements.
This collection will be of interest to policy makers,
professionals, academics, non-governmental
organizations, and grassroots activists.

Eau Canada
The Future of Canada’s Water
Edited by Karen Bakker
Canadians love our vast
and beautiful expanses
of water but know next to
nothing about them. Eau
Canada is a myth-busting,
fact-based, comprehensive
collection on all facets
of our water that every
Canadian should own.
Without the knowledge
contained in this book,
we could lose the right to
control our water in an
increasingly thirsty world.
– Maude Barlow, National Chairperson, Council of
Canadians, and co-author of Blue Gold
Eau Canada assembles the country’s top water
experts to discuss our most pressing water issues.
Perspectives from a broad range of thinkers
– geographers, environmental lawyers, former
government officials, aquatic and political scientists,
and economists – reflect the diversity of concerns in
water management. Arguing that weak governance
is at the heart of Canada’s water problems, this
timely book identifies our key failings, explores
debates over jurisdiction, transboundary waters,
exports, and privatization, and maps out solutions
for a more sustainable future.

Canadian Natural Resource
and Environmental Policy
Political Economy and Public Policy,
SECOND EDITION
Melody Hessing, Michael Howlett,
and Tracy Summerville
This new and updated
edition examines one of
the most significant areas
of Canadian policy making
– natural resources and
the environment. Using
an integrated political
economy and policy
perspective, the book
provides an analytic
framework from which
ideological perspectives,
administrative structures, and substantive issues
are explored. Departing from traditional approaches
that emphasize a single discipline or perspective, it
offers an interdisciplinary framework with which to
think through ecological, political, economic, and
social issues. It also provides a multi-stage analysis
of policy making from agenda setting through the
evaluation process.

Misrecognized Materialists

Constitutional Politics
Matt James
Governing with the Charter
Legislative and Judicial Activism and
Framers’ Intent
James B. Kelly
Canada’s history of intense
constitutional debate is
often depicted as a source
of national embarrassment
– a wasteful diversion from
more sensible endeavours.
Misrecognized Materialists
tells a different story.
Focusing on the participation
of Canadian social
movements, it shows
how constitutional politics
became an arena for important concerns often
excluded from traditional electoral and parliamentary
politics.

In Governing with the
Charter, James Kelly clearly
demonstrates that our
current democratic deficit
is not the result of the
Supreme Court’s judicial
activism. On the contrary,
an activist framers’ intent
surrounds the Charter,
and the Supreme Court has simply, and appropriately,
responded to this new constitutional environment.
While the Supreme Court is admittedly a political actor,
it is not the sole interpreter of the Charter, as the
court, the cabinet, and bureaucracy all respond to the
document, which has ensured the proper functioning of
constitutional supremacy in Canada.

In Defence of
Multinational Citizenship
Siobhán Harty and Michael Murphy
Multicultural Nationalism
Civilizing Difference, Constituting
Community
Gerald Kernerman
At the beginning of the
21st century, there is a
pressing need to develop
new forms of citizenship
to meet demands for selfdetermination
advanced
by substate nations and
indigenous peoples. In
Defence of Multinational
Citizenship responds to
this challenge by making a
compelling case for a new
form of multinational citizenship. Such a conception
would provide equal recognition to the citizenship
regimes of state and substate nations through a
democratic argument for self-determination at the
substate level, and a revised conception of state
sovereignty that is divided and shared. Drawing from
both existing liberal nationalist and cosmopolitan
theories of citizenship and self-determination, as well
as selected case studies of self-determination within
multinational states, Siobhán Harty and Michael
Murphy have crafted an alternative multinational
model of citizenship that puts forth guidelines for
how often-competing nations can coexist peacefully
within the borders of a state.

Canadian rights only
This book will appeal
greatly to those doing
work in critical race
theory, multiculturalism,
and the politics of difference.
Kernerman not only
characterizes emerging
arguments against what
he calls the ‘Canadian
school’ of liberal multiculturalism
but advances
these arguments via
some keen work within
and across liberalism,
continental philosophy, and feminist theory.
– Richard Day, author of Multiculturalism and the
History of Canadian Diversity
Generations of intellectuals have debated Canada’s
national question. Rather than join the debate,
Multicultural Nationalism challenges its logic.
Gerald Kernerman engages with leading political
theorists and analyzes policy, constitutional, and
media documents in order to examine proposals
for minority rights, multicultural citizenship,
asymmetrical federalism, multinationalism, and
group-based representation. Kernerman cautions
against using Canada as a model since these
proposals are themselves manifestations of
nationalist contestation.

Courts and Federalism
Judicial Doctrine in the United
States, Australia, and Canada
Gerald Baier
In this innovative exploration
of Anglo-American
federalism, the arc of the
metaphysical pendulum
embraces legal theory,
judicial reasoning, and
political calculation. An
original work that draws
upon law and politics,
Baier’s study offers fresh
perspective on a familiar
topic: the division of powers.
The author demonstrates
that in Canadian
legal debate an intellectual life exists beyond the
Charter.
– David E. Smith, FRSC, Professor Emeritus,
Political Studies, University of Saskatchewan
In Courts and Federalism, Gerald Baier proposes
that the idea of judicial doctrine is necessary to a
better understanding of judicial reasoning, especially
about federalism. To bolster this assertion, he
presents detailed surveys of recent judicial doctrine
in the US, Australia, and Canada. The evidence
indicates that specific, traceable doctrines are
commonly used to settle division-of-power disputes,
and that the use of doctrine in judicial reasoning
makes a positive contribution to the operation of a
federal system.

The Middle Power Project
Canada and the Founding of
the United Nations
Adam Chapnick
Shortlisted for the 2005
Dafoe Book Prize,
awarded by the JW Dafoe
Foundation.
During the Second World
War, Canada transformed
itself from British dominion
to self-proclaimed middle
power. It became an
active and enthusiastic
participant in the creation
of one of the longestlasting
global institutions of recent times: the United
Nations. This was, in many historians’ opinions, the
beginning of a golden age of Canadian diplomacy. In
The Middle Power Project, Chapnick suggests that
the golden age may not have been so bright. During
the UN negotiations, Canadian policymakers were
more cautious than idealistic. Nevertheless, creating
the UN changed what it meant to be Canadian.
Rightly or wrongly, from that moment, Canadians
would see themselves as leading internationalists.

Good Government?
Good Citizens?
Courts, Politics, and Markets
in a Changing Canada
W.A. Bogart
Good Government?
Good Citizens? explores
the evolving concept of
the citizen in Canada.
Three forces are at
work in reconstituting
the citizen in this
society: courts,
politics, and markets.
Many see these forces
as intersecting and
colliding in ways that
are fundamentally reshaping the relationship of
individuals to the state and to each other.
W.A. Bogart examines the altered roles of
courts, politics, and markets over the last two
decades. There are chapters on the First Peoples,
cyberspace, education, and on an ageing Canada.
The book concludes with reflections on the “good
citizen” at the dawning of the new century.

Academic and policy
circles have been
abuzz lately over
whether unelected and
unaccountable judges
should play as great a
role in policy making as
they currently do. It was
Canada’s Supreme Court,
for example, that decided
in 2002 to extend voting
rights to all prisoners. And
when Parliament changed the definition of marriage
to include gay and lesbian couples in 2005, it was
reacting to decisions of provincial appeal courts. To
understand this debate we need to appreciate the
fundamentals of how courts operate. The Courts
provides a well-informed account of the judicial
system and its place in democratic life.
The Courts moves its examination of the judicial
system beyond the well-trodden topics of judicial
appointment, discipline, independence, and review
to consider the ways in which courts affect daily life
in terms of democratic principles. Although courts
are often viewed as elitist and unaccountable, they
are a more valuable aspect of democratic practice
than most citizens realize.

process?
What place do first
ministers and their
cabinets have in
democratic life in Canada?
Has cabinet become a
prime ministerial focus
group? Do political staff
and central agency
bureaucrats enhance or
diminish democracy? Do
private members have
any say in the cabinet
Graham White renders a clear account of the
development, structure, and operation of cabinet
and the role of first ministers at federal, provincial,
and territorial levels. He discusses how the
processes that support cabinet are affected by the
first minister’s considerable power, and looks at the
ways in which they permit the involvement of other
elected members and the public.
Taking the perspective that characterizing the
Canadian government as Westminster-style is an
oversimplification, White examines first ministers and
cabinets in terms of accountability and transparency
and proposes realistic improvements to this aspect
of Canadian democracy.

CANADIAN DEMOCRATIC AUDIT
When the Internet
began to emerge as a
popular new mode of
communication, many
political scientists and
social commentators
believed that it would
revolutionize our
democratic institutions.
Today, voter turnout is
at an historic low and
Internet usage is at
an all-time high. Can we still make the claim that
new information and communication technologies
(ICTs) enhance democratic life in Canada? What
effect does the technological mediation of political
communication have on the practice of Canadian
politics? How have such technologies affected the
distribution of power in society?
Darin Barney investigates the links between ICTs and
democratic processes, arguing that the potential
of digital technologies to contribute to a more
democratic political system will remain largely
untapped unless the more conventional dimensions
of Canadian politics, the economy, and modes of
governance are reoriented.

Elections
John C. Courtney
Political Parties
William Cross
Open and competitive
elections governed by
widely accepted rules
and procedures are
essential to the legitimacy
of any political system.
Elections assesses the
history and development
of the Canadian electoral
regime. Arguing that on
balance the Canadian
electoral system is truly
democratic, John Courtney demonstrates its vast
improvements over the years. The right to vote
is now generously interpreted. The process of
redrawing electoral districts is no longer in the hands
of elected officials. Voter registration lists include
all but a small share of eligible voters. Those who
manage and supervise elections on behalf of all
citizens are trustworthy officials. Using the recent
push for reform of the plurality vote system as
one example, Courtney also examines why certain
electoral institutions have been amenable to change
and others have not.

CANADIAN DEMOCRATIC AUDIT
Political parties are at
the centre of Canadian
democracy. They choose
our prime ministers,
premiers, and candidates
for public office; they
decide which policy
issues are considered
in the provincial and
federal legislatures; they
dominate our election
campaigns. In a concise
and accessible way, this book delves into the history,
structure, mechanisms, and roles of Canada’s
political parties, and assesses the degree to which
Canadians can rely on political parties as vehicles for
grassroots participation.
With emphasis on federal parties, Cross examines
party membership, candidate recruitment,
leadership selection, policy development,
election campaigning, and party financing. He
maintains a clear focus on how well Canadian
parties are serving the people, and interrogates
their performance in terms of participation,
inclusiveness, and responsiveness.

Legislatures
David Docherty
Citizens
Elisabeth Gidengil, André Blais,
Neil Nevitte, and Richard Nadeau
Legislatures form the
very heart of Canadian
democracy. With the rare
exception of nationwide
referendums, Canadians
speak collectively only
when voting for their
representatives in Ottawa.
But how “democratic” are
legislative assemblies in
Canada?
Legislatures provides
a democratic audit of Canada’s provincial and
national representative assemblies. It argues that
the problem existing in these bodies is not a lack
of talent so much as a lack of institutional freedom.
Specifically, the problem is largely one of resources
and rules. The move to a more multi-party system
nationally and the increasing tendency to downsize
provincial assemblies has placed additional hurdles
in the path to good governance. Docherty uses the
series’ criteria of responsiveness, inclusiveness, and
participation to evaluate critically the performance of
legislatures in Canada, and makes recommendations
for legislative reform.

CANADIAN DEMOCRATIC AUDIT
Citizens are central to any
meaningful definition of
democracy. What does
it say about the health
of Canadian democracy
when fewer citizens
than ever are exercising
their right to vote and
party membership
rolls are shrinking? Are
increasingly well-educated
citizens turning away
from traditional electoral politics in favour of other
forms of democratic engagement or are they simply
withdrawing from political participation altogether?
The first comprehensive assessment of citizen
engagement in Canada, this volume raises
challenging questions about the interests and
capabilities of Canadians as democratic citizens,
as well as the performance of our democratic
institutions. It is essential reading for politicians and
policy-makers, students and scholars of Canadian
politics, and all those who care about the quality of
Canadian democracy.

Federalism
Jennifer Smith
Advocacy Groups
Lisa Young and Joanna Everitt
In a world where federal
states seem to exist
precariously, politicians
and academics from
around the globe continue
to look to Canada as a
model of federalism.
And yet our own system
of organization and
governance also appears
strained. Federalism
explains how Canada
came to be a federation, what the challenges to
federalism currently are, and how we might fortify
some areas of weakness in the federal system.
Jennifer Smith argues that federalism is part of the
democratic problem now; however, reformed, it
can be part of the solution. She examines Canadian
federalism in relation to the benchmarks of the
Canadian Democratic Audit project: responsiveness,
inclusiveness, and participation. Finding that
Canadian federalism falls short on each benchmark,
she recommends changes ranging from virtual
regionalism to a Council of the Federation that
includes Aboriginal representatives.

CANADIAN DEMOCRATIC AUDIT
This volume of the
Canadian Democratic
Audit examines advocacy
groups; looking at who
participates in these
groups, which kinds of
groups dominate the
political agenda, what
influence lobbying has
on the government, and
how to make advocacy
groups a more vibrant and
accountable part of political life in this country.
Young and Everitt argue that group activity
represents an important form of political
participation. Though some interests face greater
challenges than others, advocacy groups can
play critical roles for interests that are often
unrepresented in traditional political institutions.
The book offers several recommendations for “best
practices” that groups can follow in their internal
organization and efforts to influence public policy,
as well as for actions that governments can take to
engage in constructive consultation with groups.

Social Policy and

Rethinking the Responsibilities

Paul Kershaw
This book deserves
sustained applause and
attention... With her firm
grasp of the Canadian
scene and fine writing
style, Hankivsky has produced
an essential study
for all who care about a
caring society.
– Sylvia Bashevkin, author
of Tales of Two Cities
In Social Policy and the
Ethic of Care, Hankivsky
considers the implications of an ethic of care for a
range of Canadian social policy issues. Through a
series of case studies, she demonstrates the extent
to which a care orientation differs from a justice
orientation and provides an alternative normative
framework for interpreting, understanding, and
evaluating social policy. She reveals why Canadian
social policy is lacking and how it could be made
more effective and robust by the inclusion of an ethic
of care.

in an age when feminism
and social policy are currently
being redefined, it is
timely and relevant.
– Martha Friendly, Childcare
Resource and Research
Unit, University of Toronto
Carefair has its roots in the rise of “duty” discourses
that advocate renewed appreciation for obligations in
civil society. The convergence of these discourses,
Kershaw argues, signals the possibility for political
compromise in favour of policies that will deter
men from free-riding on female care. The author
invites readers to rethink the role of care duties and
entitlements in their daily lives, in public policy, and in
debates about social inclusion.

From UI to EI
Waging War on the Welfare State
Georges Campeau
Translated by Richard Howard
If I Had a Hammer
Retraining That Really Works
Margaret Hillyard Little
Georges Campeau deftly
demonstrates how, since
its inception in 1940, the
Canadian unemployment
insurance system embodied
competing social
visions of the state’s responsibility
for the risk of
unemployment. By tracing
the changes to unemployment
insurance legislation
and jurisprudence over
a period of sixty years,
From UI to EI charts how
collective responsibility for social risk has given way
to individual responsibility to take active measures
to insure against unemployment. This story of the
retreat of the federal government from financing
the unemployment insurance system – while at the
same time using premiums for purposes other than
providing benefits to the unemployed – provides the
context for the ongoing constitutional battle over the
employment insurance system.

Representation and
Democratic Theory
Edited by David Laycock
With public confidence in
representative institutions
dropping to distressing
levels, it is time for political
theorists to reconnect
issues of representation
to considerations of
justice, rights, citizenship,
pluralism, and community.
Representation and
Democratic Theory
investigates theoretical and
practical aspects of innovative political representation
in the early twenty-first century. It reveals the
complexity of contemporary political representation
and the importance of re-invigorating public life outside
legislatures, political parties, and competitive elections.
A crucial supplement to empirical studies of
conventional political representation, this book
offers a timely and thought-provoking contribution
to contemporary democratic theory. It will be a
necessary and welcome addition to the libraries of
many political and social scientists.

Insiders and Outsiders
Alan Cairns and the Reshaping
of Canadian Citizenship
Edited by Gerald Kernerman
and Philip Resnick
Insiders and Outsiders
celebrates the work of
Alan C. Cairns, one of the
most influential Canadian
social scientists of the
contemporary period.
Few scholars have
helped shape so many
key debates in such a
wide range of topics in
Canadian politics, from
the electoral system and
federalism to constitutional and Charter politics, to
questions of Aboriginal citizenship.
This volume contains engaging and critical analyses
of Cairns’ contributions by a diverse group of
scholars, many of them leaders in their own fields. It
includes appraisals of his role as a public intellectual,
of his interpretation of Canada’s electoral system,
of his views on federalism and on Canadian unity, of
his approach to Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal relations,
and of his writings on citizenship and diversity. It
concludes with a fascinating retroactive assessment
by Alan Cairns himself of his academic career.

Humanitarianism,
Identity, and Nation
Migration Laws in Canada and Australia
Catherine Dauvergne
Securing Borders
Detention and Deportation in Canada
Anna Pratt
Refugees are on the
move around the globe.
Prosperous nations are
rapidly adjusting their
laws to crack down on the
so-called “undeserving.”
Australia and Canada have
each sought international
reputations as
humanitarian do-gooders,
especially in the area of
refugee admissions.
Catherine Dauvergne traces the connections
between the nation-building tradition of immigration
and the challenge of admitting people who do
not reflect the national interest of the twenty-first
century. She argues that in the absence of the
justice standard for admitting newcomers, liberal
nations share a humanitarian consensus about
letting in needy outsiders. This consensus constrains
and shapes migration law and policy. In a detailed
consideration of how refugees and others in need
are admitted to Australia and Canada, she links
humanitarianism and national identity to explain the
current shape of the law.

Holding the Line
Borders in a Global World
Edited by Heather N. Nicol and
Ian Townsend-Gault
This book will stand on its
own, without rivals, in the
way it tackles its themes
... The organization is innovative
and original, the
research by the authors
very solid, and the chapters
are original.
– Julian Minghi,
Distinguished Professor
Emeritus, Department of
Geography, University of
South Carolina
This collection of essays explores the changing
role of borders in a global world. Holding the Line
argues that contemporary borders facilitate parallel
processes of globalization and localization of
political activity. As such, the essays adopt a holistic
approach to understanding the impact of boundaries
on both society and space. They demonstrate
that any attempt to create a methodological and
conceptual framework for the understanding of
boundaries must be concerned with the process
of bounding, rather than simply the means through
which the physical lines of separation are delimited
and demarcated. This approach renders the notion
of a “borderless world” highly problematic.

Bioregionalism
and Civil Society
Democratic Challenges to
Corporate Globalism
Mike Carr
Bioregionalism and
Civil Society addresses
the urgent need
for sustainability in
industrialized societies.
The book explores the
bioregional movement
in the US, Canada, and
Mexico, examining its
vision, values, strategies,
and tools for building
sustainable societies.
Practically, Carr argues for bioregionalism as a
place-specific, community movement that can
stand in diverse opposition to the homogenizing
trends of corporate globalization. Theoretically, the
author seeks lessons for civil society-based social
theory and strategy. Carr integrates both social
and natural ecologies in a civil society theory that
incorporates lessons about consumption and cultural
transformation from bioregional practice.

Global Biopiracy
Patents, Plants, and
Indigenous Knowledge
Ikechi Mgbeoji
Collective Insecurity
The Liberian Crisis, Unilateralism,
and Global Order
Ikechi Mgbeoji
The appropriation of
plants and traditional
knowledge of the uses of
plants (TKUP), also known
as biopiracy, thrives in a
culture where non-Western
forms of knowledge are
systemically marginalized
and devalued as
“folk knowledge” or
characterized as inferior.
Global Biopiracy rethinks
the role of international law, the Western-based
patent systems of the world, and international
agricultural research institutions as they affect legal
ownership and control of plants and TKUP.
The analysis is at multiple levels. The first deals with
the Eurocentric character of the patent system,
international law, and institutions. The second
involves the cultural and economic dichotomy
between the industrialized Western world and the
westernizing, developing world. The third level of
analysis considers the phenomenal loss of human
cultures and plant diversity. Exhaustively researched
and eloquently argued, Global Biopiracy sheds new
light on a contentious topic.

Pro-Family Politics and
Fringe Parties in Canada
Chris MacKenzie
Pro-Family Politics
and Fringe Parties in
Canada explores the
organizational and
ideological nature of
political parties that
are initially formed
to do the work of
social movements.
Specifically, it examines
the development of the
Family Coalition Party of
British Columbia (FCP) from its origins as a group of
alienated Social Credit Party members to its rebirth
as the Unity Party of British Columbia, and through
its struggles as a marginal political entity along the
way.
This book makes a substantial contribution to our
understanding of the genesis, development, and
impact of political party/movements in Canada.
Moreover, it provides useful insight into the dynamics
and issues that make up the current pro-family
movements in Canada and the United States.

First Nations Sacred Sites
in Canada’s Courts
Michael Lee Ross
Between Justice
and Certainty
Treaty Making in British Columbia
Andrew Woolford
The sacred sites of
indigenous peoples are
under increasing threat
worldwide as a result of
state appropriation of
control over ancestral
territories. In recent
decades, First Nations
peoples of Canada, like
other indigenous peoples,
have faced hard choices.
Sometimes, they have
chosen to grieve in private; at other times, they
have mounted public protests, ranging from public
information campaigns to on-the-ground resistance.
Of late, they have also taken their fight to the courts.
This is the first work to examine how the courts
have responded. Michael Lee Ross demonstrates
not merely that the courts have failed to treat
First Nations sacred sites fairly but also why they
have failed to do so. The book suggests practical
ways in which courts can improve their handling of
the issues. Finally, it shows that Canada too has
something profound at stake in the struggle of First
Nations peoples for their sacred sites.

In Between Justice and
Certainty, Andrew
Woolford examines
the interplay between
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal visions of justice and
certainty in the first decade of the BC treaty process
to determine whether there is a space between the
two concepts in which modern treaties can be made.
Using interviews, field research, and both archival
and modern treaty documents, Woolford argues
that the goal of certainty is overriding the demand
for justice, and suggests that greater attention to
justice is necessary if we are to initiate a process of
reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal
peoples in British Columbia.

Shifting Boundaries
Aboriginal Identity, Pluralist Theory,
and the Politics of Self-Government
Tim Schouls
Governing Ourselves?
The Politics of Canadian
Communities
Mary Louise McAllister
Canada is often called a pluralist state, but few
commentators view Aboriginal self-government
from the perspective of political pluralism. Instead,
Aboriginal identity is framed in terms of cultural and
national traits, while self-government is taken to
represent an Aboriginal desire to protect those traits.
Shifting Boundaries challenges this view, arguing
that it fosters a woefully incomplete understanding of
the politics of self-government.

We’re All Dead
The Canadian Turn to Fiscal Restraint
Timothy Lewis
Agenda-Setting Dynamics in Canada surveys
the development of eight issues in Canada over
a decade to explore how the salience of issues

changes are important to our understanding of
everyday politics. Stuart Soroka offers one of the
first empirical analyses of the interaction of the

public policy issue of fiscal deficits. Lewis deftly
analyzes the history of deficit finance from
before Confederation through Canada’s postwar
Keynesianism to the retrenchment of the Mulroney
and Chrétien years. In doing so, he illuminates how
the political conditions for Ottawa’s deficit elimination
in the 1990s materialized after over twenty
consecutive years in the red, and how the decline
of Canadian Keynesianism has made way for the
emergence of politics organized around balanced
budgets.

Street Protests
and Fantasy Parks
Globalization, Culture, and the State
Edited by David R. Cameron
and Janice Gross Stein
The speed and intensity of global integration in the
last two decades have provoked serious debate
about the human impact of globalization and deep
concern about the capacity of the state to provide
social justice. Street Protests and Fantasy Parks
focuses on two dimensions of globalization: the
cultural and social realities of global connection and
the uneasily shifting role of the state. These essays
examine a series of compelling case studies – the
entertainment industry, citizenship, social activism,
and wired communication – to assess the choices
states have and the consequences of those choices
for culture and society.

What is democracy? Is it the movement toward
united self-government in which equality is our
highest value? Or is it about preserving the freedom
of individuals? In Democracy: A History of Ideas,
DeWiel argues that neither of these popular
definitions is correct, and that democracy is an
endless battle of true yet contrary ideals. By
specifying the precise values embedded along the
left-right continuum, DeWiel proposes an improved
model of ideological differences for use in empirical
and theoretical studies.

light of the Aristotelian idea that shared citizenship
is an essential human calling. Virtually every aspect
of contemporary political experience poses urgent

Paradoxes of Power
U.S. Foreign Policy in a
Changing World
Edited by David Skidmore
This book provides a lively
and readable introduction
to current debates over
U.S. power and purpose
in world affairs. These
debates involve two
crucial questions: Should
U.S. foreign policy focus
on securing vital interests
that are narrowly defined,
or should the United
States seek to spread
U.S. institutions and values to other societies?
Should the United States exercise maximum
independence in the exercise of U.S. power abroad
or work principally through multilateral institutions?
This book brings together many different voices
to answer these questions and to add to our
understanding of the issues.

Perilous Power
The Middle East and U.S. Foreign
Policy: Dialogues on Terror,
Democracy, War, and Justice
Noam Chomsky and Gilbert Achcar
The volatile Middle East is
the site of vast resources,
profound passions,
frequent crises, and
long-standing conflicts, as
well as a major source of
international tensions and
a key site of direct U.S.
intervention.
Two of the most astute
analysts of this part of the
world are Noam Chomsky,
the preeminent critic of U.S. foreign policy, and
Gilbert Achcar, a leading specialist of the Middle East
who lived in that region for many years. In their first
book together, Chomsky and Achcar bring a keen
understanding of the internal dynamics of the Middle
East and of the role of the United States, taking up all
the key questions of interest to concerned citizens;
including such topics as terrorism, fundamentalism,
conspiracies, oil, democracy, self-determination,
anti-Semitism, and anti-Arab racism, as well as the
war in Afghanistan, the invasion and occupation of
Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the sources
of U.S. foreign policy.
In Perilous Power, Chomsky and Achcar offer an
engaging and readable introduction for all who wish
to understand the complex issues related to the
Middle East from a perspective dedicated to peace
and justice.

The Clash of Barbarisms
The Making of the New
World Disorder
Gilbert Achcar
Letters from Lexington
Reflections on Propaganda
UPDATED EDITION
Noam Chomsky
The London bombings of
July 7th, 2005, revived
the debates that raged
after 9/11. What relation
did they bear to the
foreign and war policies
of the United Kingdom
and the United States?
Were they symptoms of a
“cultural clash” between
deep-seated “values” or
signs of a social crisis
at the root of the ongoing conflict? How should we
analyze the present-day emergence of fanatical
forms of Islamic fundamentalism?
The title of the book alludes to the famous thesis
on the “Clash of Civilizations.” Achcar develops
a counterthesis, namely that the clashes we are
witnessing do not oppose civilizations, but their dark
sides. Each civilization produces a specific form of
barbarism, which tends to take over in periods of
crisis. Accordingly, the Bush administration doesn’t
embody the values of Western civilization nor does
Islamic fanaticism of the al-Qa’ida type represent
Islamic civilization. The clash between them is a
“clash of barbarisms” in which the main culprit
remains the most powerful.
The original edition of
Letters from Lexington
solidified Noam
Chomsky’s position
as American’s most
distinguished critic of
the media. In this new,
updated edition, a new
chapter, “What Makes
the Mainstream Media
Mainstream,” offers
Chomsky’s latest thinking
on the role of the media in a rapidly changing world
– especially in justifying U.S. government and
corporate actions. Throughout the book, Chomsky’s
analyses of the politics of the Reagan and earlier
Bush administrations offer a striking and surprisingly
prescient perspective on the events, key players,
and policies that shape America’s national agenda
under the current presidency of George W. Bush and
the “War on Terrorism.” Letters from Lexington has
been called “an indispensable antidote to TV ‘news’
and the verities found in major daily newspapers
such as The New York Times.”

A Tale of Two Quagmires
Iraq, Vietnam, and the Hard
Lessons of War
Kenneth J. Campbell
Foreword by Richard Falk
There is an important
debate raging about
whether Iraq is becoming
another Vietnam. Those
who deny the similarities
most vociferously are
often those who know
(or remember) the least
about Vietnam. Kenneth
Campbell knows Vietnam
from his thirteen months of
fighting there (he received
a Purple Heart), and years
of political organizing to get the United States out of
the war. Here, Campbell lays out the political process
of getting into, sinking deeper, hitting bottom, and
finally pulling out of the Vietnam quagmire. He traces
the chief lessons of Vietnam, which helped the United
States successfully avoid quagmires for thirty years,
and explains how neoconservatives within the Bush
administration cynically used the tragedy of 9/11 to
override the “Vietnam syndrome” and drag the nation
into a new quagmire in Iraq. In view of where the United
States finds itself today – unable to stay but unable
to leave – Campbell recommends that the country
rededicate itself to the essential lessons of Vietnam:
the danger of imperial arrogance, the limits of military
force, the importance of international and constitutional
law, and the power of morality.

Beyond the Spectacle
of Terrorism
Global Uncertainty and
the Challenge of the New Media
Henry A. Giroux
Henry Giroux’s essay
awakens us to the ways
new media proliferate
and circulate images
and ideas of terror that
order our lives, pervert
our pedagogy, delimit
our democracy. Recommended
reading for
anyone who wants to
comprehend our times,
our politics, our possibilities.
– David Theo Goldberg, U. of California, Irvine
The emergence of the spectacle of terror as a
new form of politics raises important questions
about how fear and anxiety can be marketed,
how terrorism can be used to recruit people
in support of authoritarian causes, and how
the spectacle of terrorism works in an age
of injustices, deep insecurities, disembodied
social relations, fragmented communities, and
a growing militarization of everyday life. At the
same time, new media such as the Internet, digital
camcorders, and cell phones can be used to
energize sites of resistance, provide alternative
public spheres, pluralize political struggles,
and expand rather than close down democratic
relations.

Stormy Weather
Hurricane Katrina and the Politics
of Disposability
Henry A. Giroux
The Giroux Reader
Henry A. Giroux
Edited by Christopher G. Robbins
In Stormy Weather,
prominent social critic
Henry A. Giroux shows
how the tragedy and
suffering in the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina
signals a much larger
crisis in the United States
– one that threatens the
very nature of individual
freedom and inclusive
democracy. This
crisis extends far beyond matters of leadership,
governance, or the Bush administration. It is a
crisis that strikes at the very heart of democracy
and must be understood within a broader set of
antidemocratic forces that not only made the
social disaster underlying Katrina possible, but also
contribute to an emerging authoritarianism in the
United States.
Questions regarding who is going to die and
who is going to live are driving a new form of
authoritarianism in the United States. Within this
form of “dirty democracy” a new and more insidious
set of forces – embedded in our global economy
– have largely given up on the sanctity of human
life, rendering some groups as disposable and
privileging others. Giroux offers up a vision of hope
that creates the conditions for multiple collective and
global struggles that refuse to use politics as an act
of war and markets as the measure of democracy.
Making human beings superfluous is the essence
of totalitarianism, and democracy is the antidote in
urgent need of being reclaimed.

disciplines, and fuse scholarly rigor with social
relevance. The essays underscore the continuities
and transformations in Giroux’s thought, just as
they offer invaluable approaches to understanding
a range of social problems. Giroux’s work suggests
that a more humane and democratic world is

Dead for Good
Martyrdom and the Rise of
the Suicide Bomber
Hugh D. Barlow
Gandhi and Beyond
Nonviolence for an Age of Terrorism
David Cortright
Dead for Good vividly
describes how history
gave rise to the suicide
bombers of today. The
passionate submission
of ancient Jewish and
Christian martyrs was
largely supplanted by
militant self-sacrifice as
Islam spread and holy war
erupted in the Crusades.
In the Indian Punjab, the
Khalsa Sikhs made warrior-martyrdom an instinct
and policy in their defense of community and of
justice. In a last-ditch effort to defeat the Allies in
World War II, the Japanese transformed warriormartyrs
into martyr-warriors trained to sacrifice
themselves in attacks on enemy carriers. The
current suicide bomber is the latest phase: Whether
motivated by nationalism, religious ideology, or a
combination of both, the new “predatory” martyr
dies for the cause while killing indiscriminately.
Exploring martyrdom across cultures and throughout
history, this book gives us new insights into today’s
suicide bombers and answers to the common
question “Why do they do it?”

Gandhi, Visiting

Is there room for nonviolence in an age of terrorism?
Long-time peace activist and authority on creative
nonviolence, David Cortright makes a strong case
for the need for nonviolent action now more than
ever. Drawing on the legend and lessons of Gandhi,
Cortright traces the history of nonviolent social
activism through the early twentieth century to the
civil rights movement, the Vietnam era, and up to
the present war in Iraq. Gandhi and Beyond offers
a critical evaluation and refinement of Gandhi’s
message, laying the foundation for a renewed and
deepened dedication to nonviolence as the universal
path to social progress and antidote to terrorism.

Are Americans Becoming
More Peaceful?
A Counterintuitive Examination of the
U.S. Public’s Attitude Toward War
Paul Joseph
Are Americans becoming
more peaceful-even after
the 2004 elections and
the seeming affirmation of
the war in Iraq? Through
most of 2005, support for
U.S. militarism appeared
to continue unabated. But
with the cumulative impact
of Abu Ghraib, Valerie
Plame, National Security
Agency wiretapping, and
more than 2,000 U.S. soldiers dead, Americans may
be changing their minds.
This book looks at the meaning of peace in the face
of war and offers an optimistic interpretation of the
public’s changing views. Even if U.S. citizens are not
ready to jump on the bandwagon of antiwar protest,
they are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with
the costs of war that can be measured not just in
dollars but in lives and international respect.
And, as Paul Joseph meticulously chronicles,
Americans are becoming ever more resistant to and
savvy about government management of the “facts”
surrounding war. In areas ranging from media and
photojournalism to gender and casualties, Joseph
shows us the images and then exposes the realities.

Governing the Consequences
of Science and Technology
Nico Stehr
This book argues that new

created a relatively new

politics.” Nico Stehr
describes Western
society’s response to a
host of new technologies
developed only since
the 1970s, including
genetic experiments,
test-tube human conception, recombinant DNA
and embryonic stem cells, genetically engineered
foods, neurogenetics and genetic engineering,
and reproductive cloning and the reconstruction
of the human ancestral genome. He looks also
at the prospective fusion of nanotechnology,
biotechnology, information technology, transgenic
human engineering and cognitive science whose
products may, as its boosters claim, some day cure
disease, slow the aging process, eliminate pollution,
and generally enhance human performance.

This book gets at the deeper stories about how we
view the world and the stories we tell ourselves to
make sense of it. It’s all the more important when
we’re being told to embrace a future of perpetual war.
– Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
Ira Chernus tackles the question of why U.S.
national security policy has the paradoxical effect
of making the country less safe and secure. His
answer: The “war on terror” is based not on realistic
appraisals of the conflict, but rather on “stories”
that neoconservative policymakers tell about human
nature and a world divided between absolute good
and absolute evil.

The Politics of Fear examines key factors in the
recent electoral success of neo-conservative
parties and candidates, including globalization, new
technologies, and a far-reaching network of rightwing

Left Turn
Forging a New Political Future
Stanley Aronowitz
Building a new platform for change, prominent
social critic Stanley Aronowitz diagnoses America’s
crisis of democracy and the dangers of the new
authoritarianism. Aronowitz draws on his vast
knowledge of history and political theory and from
currents of political change around the globe, from
the traditions of the European left to the newest
political trends in Latin America that have challenged
the “death of socialism.” Demonstrating why
Democrats lose when they cling to centrism and
compromise their core values, this book shows us
what a new left party in America would look like.

Social Movements,

Charles Tilly
Contentious Politics
Charles Tilly and Sidney Tarrow
Westerners invented
social movements during
the 18th century, but after
that social movements
became vehicles of
popular politics across the
world. By locating social
movements in history,
prize-winning social
scientist Charles Tilly
provides rich and often
surprising insights into the
origins of contemporary social movement practices,
relations of social movements to democratization,
and likely futures for social movements.

Revolutions, social
movements, religious and
ethnic conflict, nationalism
and civil rights, and
transnational movements
are forms of contentious
politics that combine
in Contentious Politics.
The book presents a
set of analytical tools
and procedures for
study, comparison,
and explanation of these very different sorts
of contention. Drawing on many historical and
contemporary cases, the book shows that similar
principles describe and explain a wide variety of
struggles as well as many more routine forms of
politics. Tilly and Tarrow have written the book to
introduce readers to an exciting new program of
political and sociological analysis.
Charles Tilly is Joseph L. Buttenwieser Professor
of Social Science at Columbia University and is the
author most recently of Social Movements: 1768-
2004 (Paradigm 2004).
Sidney Tarrow is Maxwell M. Upson Professor of

Alternatives
The United States
Confronts the World
Immanuel Wallerstein
Hegemonic Decline
Present and Past
Edited by Jonathan Friedman
and Christopher Chase-Dunn
In his newest book,
Immanuel Wallerstein
draws on a lifetime
of study of long-term
historical change
to shed light in his
newest book on the
consequences of the
recent, significant
turn in US foreign and
economic policies.
Alternatives shows how
the US has been in decline since the 1970s and
how these longer trends dovetail with current
Bush administration policies, which Wallerstein
describes as an attempt to reverse the decline
in ways that are disastrous to the future of the
country and the world.
Wallerstein suggests that a threshold has
been crossed that will make it difficult for
future presidents to practice the kind of “soft”
multilateralism in foreign policy that American
presidents have used in the past. They will be less
able to maintain effective alliances. Wallerstein
also shows, surprisingly, why “globalization”
already is dead, especially in terms of the United
States’ ability to dominate economically in the
manner that it has since the Second World War.
He calls for a major revision of US policies – and
not an attempt merely to return to the pre-Bush
foreign policy.

Revolutions
A Worldwide Introduction to Political
and Social Change
Stephen K. Sanderson
The Globalization of Racism
Edited by Donald Macedo and
Panayota Gounari
Revolution and state breakdowns are the focus of
this important new book that analyzes the most
prominent theories of revolution and points to
future directions. It covers famous revolutions from
history (France, China, Russia) and those in the
developing world in addressing such key questions
as “why are revolutions so rare?” Revolutions also
looks at the state breakdowns in Eastern Europe
after 1989, the usual outcomes of revolutions,
and the possible future of revolutions. An appendix
presents biographical and autobiographical sketches
of several of the most prominent students of
revolutions.

The Hegemony of English
Donaldo Macedo, Bessie Dendrinos,
and Panayota Gounari
The Hegemony of English succinctly exposes how
the neoliberal ideology of globalization promotes
dominating language policies. In the United States
and Europe these policies lead to linguistic and
cultural discrimination while, worldwide, they
aim to stamp out a greater use and participation
of national and subordinate languages in world
commerce and in international organizations such
as the European Union. Democracy calls for broad,
multi-ethnic participation, and the authors point us
toward more effective approaches in an increasingly
interconnected world.
Addressing ethnic
cleansing, culture wars,
human sufferings,
terrorism, immigration,
and intensified
xenophobia, The
Globalization of Racism
explains why it is vital
that we gain a nuanced
understanding of how
ideology underlies all
social, cultural, and
political discourse and racist actions. The book
looks at recent developments in France, Germany,
Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Spain,
and the United States and uses examples from
the mass media, popular culture, and politics to
address the challenges these and other countries
face in their democratic institutions. The eminent
authors of this important book show how we can
educate for critical citizenry in the ever-increasing
multicultural and multiracial world of the twentyfirst
century.

Mainstreaming Gender,
Democratizing the State?
Institutional Mechanisms for the
Advancement of Women
Shirin M. Rai
Mainstreaming Gender,
Democratizing the State
reflects the commitment
of the United Nations to
promote mechanisms
that aim to achieve
equality between women
and men. It identifies
institutional mechanisms
for the advancement of
women including national
machineries as one of
twelve critical areas of concern.
National machineries for the advancement of women
were initially conceived at the World Conference
on the International Women’s Year held in Mexico
City in 1975 and since then have been considered
systematically by world conferences on women in
Copenhagen (1980), Nairobi (1985), and Beijing
(1995), as well as the sessions of the Commission
on the Status of Women. The twenty-third special
session of the General Assembly in Beijing reiterated
the significant role that national machineries play
in promoting equality between women and men,
gender mainstreaming, and monitoring of the
implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action as
well as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms
of Discrimination against Women.
There has been a long-standing need for a volume to
bring together discussions on theory and practice
as well as comparative analysis and in-depth case
studies of national machineries; this book responds
to that need.

Monitoring Performance
in the Public Sector
Future Directions from
International Experience
John Mayne and Eduardo Zapico-Goni
A host of promising public
sector reform efforts are
underway throughout the
world. In governments
challenged by budget
deficits and declining
public trust, these reform
efforts seek to improve
policy decisions and public
management. Along the
way, program efficiency
and effectiveness help
rebuild public confidence in government. Whether
through regular measurement of program inputs,
activities, and outcomes, or through episodic oneshot
studies, performance monitoring plays a central
role in the most important current reform efforts.
Monitoring Performance in the Public Sector, now
available in paperback, is based on experiences
derived from comparative analysis in different
countries. It explains why there is interest in performance
monitoring in a given setting, why it has failed
or created uncertainties, and identifies criteria for
improving its design and use.
The contributors address a number of themes: the
critical importance of organizational support for
performance monitoring and making it consistent
with the organizational culture, the need for active
and effective leadership in defining criteria and
implementing practical performance monitoring, and
the value of linking ongoing measurement with more
than the traditional, strictly quantitative aspects of
public sector performance.
As we gain experience with performance monitoring
and its uses, such systems should become more
cost effective over time. This book will be of deep
interest to public managers, government officials,
economists, and organization theorists, and useful in
courses on public administration.

History of Political Parties
in Twentieth-Century
Latin America
Torcuato S. Di Tella
Violence in Canada
Sociopolitical Perspectives,
SECOND EDITION
Edited by Jeffrey Ian Ross
This heavily documented
volume with an extensive
bibliography would prove
valuable to researchers
and advanced students of
Latin America. Recommended.
– J.A. Rhodes, Luther
College, Choice
The general perception
of modern Latin
American political
institutions emphasizes
a continuing and random process of disorder and
crisis, continually out of step with other regions in
their progress toward democracy and prosperity.
In History of Political Parties in Twentieth-Century
Latin America, Torcuato S. Di Tella demonstrates
that this common view lacks context and
comparative nuance, and is deeply misleading.
Looking behind the scenes of modern Latin
American history, he discerns its broad patterns
through close analysis of actual events and
comparative sociological perspectives that explain
the apparent chaos of the past and point toward
the more democratic polity now developing.
History of Political Parties in Twentieth-Century
Latin America is rich in historical description
but also in its broad review of social structures
and of the strengths and weaknesses of political
institutions. It is an important volume for Latin
America area specialists and historians, political
scientists, and sociologists.

Terrorism and Democratic
Stability
Jennifer S. Holmes
Democracy as Public
Deliberation
Edited by Maurizio Passerin
d’Entréves
Can terrorism and
state violence cause
democratic break- downs?
Although the origins
of violence have been
studied, only rarely
are its consequences.
Jennifer S. Holmes claims
that to understand the
consequences of violence
on democratic stability,
terrorism and state
responses to terrorism must be studied together.
Holmes examines the effects of terrorism and
state repression on democratic stability in Uruguay,
Peru, and Spain. The result is a detailed empirical
study set in these locations, placed within an overall
theoretical framework. This study, which begins
conceptually and then moves on to comparative
empirical analysis, adopts an innovative approach,
identifying a new concept of citizen support as a
key factor in the consequences of terrorism and
repression on democratic stability. The study of
Spain is set within a European Union context that
provides important lessons for other EU countries.

One of the most
remarkable developments
in the last twenty years
has been the revival of
the idea of deliberative
democracy. Set against
aggregative models of
democracy derived from
economics, such as the
theory of rational choice,
the idea of deliberative
democracy, or decisionmaking
based on public deliberations among free
and equal citizens, represents a highly significant
development in democratic theory. Exploring this
development, this book provides a fresh and original
perspective on a theme at the center of current
debates in democratic theory and practice.

Genocide and Resistance in
Southeast Asia
Documentation, Denial, and Justice
in Cambodia and East Timor
Ben Kiernan
Two modern cases of
genocide and extermination
began in Southeast
Asia in the same year.
Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge
regime ruled Cambodia
from 1975 to 1979,
and Indonesian forces
occupied East Timor from
1975 to 1999. This book
examines the horrific consequences
of Cambodian
communist revolution and Indonesian anti-communist
counterinsurgency. It also chronicles the two cases
of indigenous resistance to genocide and extermination,
the international cover-ups that obstructed
documentation of these crimes, and efforts to hold
the perpetrators legally accountable.
Genocide and Resistance in Southeast Asia is significant
both for its historical documentation and for its
contribution to the study of the politics and mechanisms
of genocide. It is a fundamental contribution
that will be read by historians, human rights activists,
and genocide studies specialists.

Democratization Through

Edited by Peter Burnell
In Democratization
through the Looking-
Glass, Peter Burnell
provides a revealing
image of how our
knowledge and
understanding of
democratization could
be improved by viewing
the topic through a more
multi-disciplinary lens and
from the perspective of
more broadly based comparative analyses. Burnell
and his contributors encourage readers to both
“look and think outside of the box,” beyond the
limited parameters that usually shape the study of
democratization.
This volume takes readers in the direction of
predicting and foretelling the future of democracy
and democratization with greater accuracy. In
all, Democratization through the Looking-Glass
provides a wide-ranging review of themes, issues,
and topics concisely written by leading experts
in their fields while advancing its case for more
inclusive comparative studies covering Europe
and North America, as well as developing regions,
showing precisely how multi-disciplinary approaches
enhance a global vision and understanding of
democratization.

Funding Democratization
Peter Burnell and Allan Ware
Political and Legal Obligation
John W. Chapman and J. Ronald

Funding Democratization
examines how money
and politics interact in
emerging democracies.
The contributors
investigate the funding of
political parties in early
North America, financial
uncertainties of party
formation in European
countries, funding of
democratization in new
democracies, and the influence of funding on
contenders for power. They also address the nature
of political competition in countries that are seeking
to embrace, often for the first time, the rules of
democracy. They question in what ways politicians
can help make democracy affordable.
The volume compares important democratizing
countries, such as Russia, Brazil, South Africa,
Spain, and the regions of East Asia and East/
Central Europe. It also investigates the lessons that
emerging democracies can learn from the history
of political finance in today’s more established
democracies. Funding Democratization will be of
interest to political scientists and specialists in
international social and political development.

Coercion
John W. Chapman and

Coercion, it seems, like poverty and prejudice,
has always been with us. Political thinkers and
philosophers have been arguing its more direct and
personal consequences for centuries. Today, at a
point in history marked by dramatic changes and
challenges to the existing military, political, and
social order, coercion is more at the forefront of
political activity than ever before. While the modern
state has no doubt freed man from some of the
forms of coercion by which he has traditionally been
plagued, we hear now from all sectors of society
complaints about systematic coerciveness-not only
on the national and international levels, but on the
individual level as well.

Political Terrorism
A New Guide to Actors, Authors,
Concepts, Data Bases, Theories, and
Literature
Alex P. Schmid and A.J. Jongman
At one time a marginal
field of study in the social
sciences, terrorism is
now very much in center
stage. The 1970s terrorist
attacks by the
PLO, the Provisional Irish
Republican Army, the
Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine, the
Japanese Red Army, the
Unabomber, Aum Shinrikyo,
Timothy McVeigh,
the World Trade Center
attacks, the assault on a school in Russia, and suicide
bombers have all made the term “terrorism” an
all-too-common part of our vocabulary.
This edition of Political Terrorism was originally published
in the 1980s, well before some of the horrific
events noted above. This monumental collection of
definitions, conceptual frameworks, paradigmatic
formulations, and bibliographic sources is being
reissued in paperback now as a resource for the
expanding community of researchers on the subject
of terrorism. This is a carefully constructed guide to
one of the most urgent issues of the world today.
When the first edition was originally published, Choice
noted, “This extremely useful reference tool should
be part of any serious social science collection.”
Chronicles of Culture called it “a tremendously comprehensive
book about a subject that any who have
anything to lose – from property to liberty, life to
limbs – should be forewarned against.”

The Limits of Civic Activism
Cautionary Tales on the Use
of Politics
Robert Weissberg
Weissberg’s analysis of
civic activism is provocative
but insightful. He offers
an alternative voice
that should be heard
widely. Readers will often
be tempted to argue with
him, but the fact that they
will find it hard to do so is
a measure of how well he
makes his case.
– Richard Niemi,
University of Rochester
Today’s political climate overflows with admonitions
to “get involved,” as if entering the political fray is
the great cure-all for almost any conceivable social
problem. This advice may be a recipe for disaster.
Staying out of politics is sometimes wiser. Pursuing
non-political options may even be best given the
inherent difficulties of the political pathway. In this
volume, Robert Weissberg offers a corrective to
a view that has evolved into a civic religion. This
volume constitutes both a powerful challenge to the
dogma that political activism is an unqualified good,
and a strong case that in many instances following
the private route may be the superior option.

Frames of Justice
Implications for Social Policy
Leroy H. Pelton
Building Community
Capacity
Robert J. Chaskin, Prudence Brown,
Sudhir Venkatesh, and Avis Vidal
This work is devoted to
analyzing three major
frames of justice – group
justice, individual desert,
and life affirmation – and
their implications for
social policy.
Pelton compares and
contrasts the philosophies
of nonviolence and
liberalism in regard
to these frames, and
explores the relationships between principle,
sentiment, reason, justice, and policy. He discusses
social science’s problematic relationship to justice
in policymaking – for instance, how scholars have
focused more on the effectiveness of policies,
largely in terms of statistical outcomes reflecting
aggregate data analyses, than on their justice. He
goes on to explore in depth how frames of justice
give direction to social policies, including those of
genocide.
Frames of Justice is an outstanding work that
analyzes the question of justice and social policy,
while simultaneously exploring the notion of desert
in religion, philosophy, and legislation – especially
within the context of the moral question of the
relationship between means and ends – and
contrasting it with the principle of life affirmation.

Drawing on extensive
case study data from
three significant
community-building
initiatives, program data
from numerous other
community capacitybuilding
efforts, key
informant interviews, and
an excellent literature
review, the authors draw
implications for crafting
community change strategies as well as for creating
and sustaining the organizational infrastructure
necessary to support them. Social work scholars
and students of community practice seeking new
conceptual frameworks and insights from research
to inform novel community interventions will find
much of value in Building Community Capacity.
Building Community Capacity takes a collaborative,
interdisciplinary approach to a subject of wide
current concern: the role of neighborhood and
community structures in the delivery of human
services or, as the authors put it, “a place where
programs and problems can be fitted together.”

Politics, Products, and Markets
Exploring Political Consumerism
Past and Present
Edited by Michele Micheletti,
Andreas Follesdal, and Dietland Stolle
In contemporary life, the
marketplace has emerged
as an important arena for
the practice of politics.
Concerns about personal
and family well-being as
well as ethical or political
assessment of favorable
and unfavorable business
and government practices
become part and parcel
of the marketplace of
politics. This volume describes this phenomenon as
political consumerism, reflecting an understanding of
politics as a product embedded in a complex social
and normative context.
Politics, Products, and Markets is the first general
study of political consumerism. It asks fundamental
questions, including what is new and what is old
about the phenomenon. The authors discuss
the mediating role of political consumerism in
the problematic relationship between markets
and morality. They explore whether institutional
arrangements have been developed to permit
consumers and producers to assume ethical
responsibility for their choices and behavior. They
ask why political consumerism is presently on the
rise. And they investigate the relationship between
globalization and political consumerism.

Nationalism, Ethnicity,
and Identity
Cross National and
Comparative Perspectives
Edited by Russell F. Farnen
Nationalism, national
identity, and ethnicity
are cultural issues in
contemporary Western
societies. Problems in
the United States, the
Netherlands, Germany,
Austria, Turkey, Poland,
Croatia, Ukraine, Hungary,
and Bulgaria illustrate
both large-scale internal
variations in these
phenomena and their cross-national relevance for
teaching, research, and educational development on
such subjects as multiculturalism, ethnic diversity,
and socialization.
Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Identity, now in
paperback, reflects the consequences of rapid
change as well as the impact of longstanding
social values. Contributors from a number of
different countries use a variety of methodological
approaches (empirical, quantitative, qualitative,
historical, and case study, among others) to
analyze important issues. These include anti-
Semitism, stereotyping, militarism, authoritarianism,
postmodernism, moral development, gender,
patriarchy, theory of the state, critical educational
theory, Europeanization, and democratic public
policy options as related to competing choices
among monocultural and multicultural policy options.
In addition, contributors examine the situation of
minorities in their respective national settings.
Chapters cover the impact of mass media, culture,
patriotism, and other universal values. This crossnational
study is a unique addition to the literature on
multiculturalism.

Writing the War
on Terrorism
Language, Politics
and Counter-terrorism
Richard Jackson
Writing the War on
Terrorism examines the
public language of the
war on terrorism, and
the way that rhetoric has
been used to justify the
global counter-terrorism
offensive as a response
to 9/11. It discusses
how language has been
used to deliberately
manipulate public anxiety
about terrorist threats to gain support for military
action, and how the abuse of Iraqi prisoners has
been normalized through rhetoric and practice.
It explains how the war on terrorism has been
reproduced and amplified by key social actors
and how it has become the dominant political
narrative in America today, enjoying widespread
bipartisan and popular support. The author argues
that the normalisation and institutionalisation of
the administration’s current counter-terrorism
approach is damaging to its society’s ethical values
and to democratic political participation.

A Farewell to Arms?
Beyond the Good Friday Agreement
SECOND EDITION
Michael Cox, Adrian Guelke, and
Fiona Stephen
The signing of the Good
Friday Agreement in
1998 appeared to open
up a new phase in the
history of Northern
Ireland and indeed
world politics generally.
Hailed from the outset
as a model that would
inspire peace processes
in other countries, it
sought through careful
negotiation and delicate compromise to bring to
a conclusion a conflict that had cost over 3600
lives, damaged Britain’s international position and
at times come very close to undermining relations
between the UK and Ireland. While the peace has
held it is obvious that serious divisions continue
to make a final settlement of the Northern Irish
question very difficult.
This comprehensive and original study is the first
to explain in detail how the Good Friday Agreement
ran into trouble, why we are still some way from
a final settlement, but why a return to war is most
unlikely – even in an age where global terror now
threatens world order more seriously than at any
time in the past.

Beyond Preemption
Force and Legitimacy in a
Changing World
Ivo H. Daalder, ed.
Red and Blue Nation?
Characteristics and Causes of
America’s Polarized Politics
Pietro S. Nivola and David W. Brady
America’s three most
recent wars – in Kosovo,
Afghanistan, and Iraq
– have raised profound
questions about when to
use military force, for what
purpose, and who should
make the decision whether
to go to war. These crucial
questions have been
debated around the world
with increasing intensity,
and by beginning to provide important answers,
Beyond Preemption moves the debate forward in
significant ways.
Ivo Daalder and his colleagues make specific
proposals for how to forge a new international
consensus on the vexing questions about the use
of force, including its preemptive use, to address
today’s interrelated threats of terrorism, weapons
of mass destruction, and humanitarian crises. In
Beyond Preemption, the authors also consider the
critical matter of how these strategies could be
best legitimized and be made palatable to domestic
audiences and the international community at large.

Analysts and pundits
increasingly perceive a
widening gulf between
“red states” and “blue
states.” Yet the
research to support that
perception is scattered
and sometimes difficult
to parse. America’s
polarized politics, it is
said, poses fundamental
dangers for democratic
and accountable government. Heightened
partisanship is thought to degrade deliberation
in Congress and threaten the integrity of other
institutions, from the courts to the media. But, how
deep do the country’s political divisions actually
run? Are they truly wreaking havoc upon the social
fabric? Has America become a house divided? This
important new book, Red and Blue Nation?, gets to
the bottom of this perplexing issue.

Failed Diplomacy
The Tragic Story of How

At the dawn of the
twentieth century,
observers heralded a new

within only a few years,
the world was perched on
the brink of war, revolution,
and human misery on an
unprecedented scale. Is
it possible that today, in
the early twenty-first century, we are on the verge of

North Korea’s development
of nuclear weapons
raises fears of nuclear
war on the peninsula
and the specter of
terrorists gaining access
to weapons of mass
destruction. It also
represents a dangerous
and disturbing breakdown
in U.S. foreign policy.
Failed Diplomacy offers
an insider’s view of what went wrong and allowed
this isolated nation – a charter member of the Axis
of Evil – to develop nuclear weapons.
Charles L. “Jack” Pritchard was intimately involved
in developing America’s North Korea policy under
Presidents Clinton and Bush. Here, he offers an
authoritative analysis of recent developments on
the Korean peninsula and reveals how the Bush
administration’s mistakes damaged the prospects of
controlling nuclear proliferation. Although multilateral
negotiations continue, Pritchard proclaims the Six-
Party Talks as a failure.
Hard-hitting and insightful, Failed Diplomacy offers
a stinging critique of the Bush administration’s
manner and policy in dealing with North Korea. More
hopefully, it suggests what can be learned from
missed opportunities.

Journey into Islam
The Crisis of Globalization
Akbar Ahmed
This book is a breakthrough
in our understanding
of the complex
relationship between
globalization and Islam . .
. an essential resource for
anyone interested in some
of the key questions of our
time, concerning not just
the role of Islam in world
society, but differing
concepts of religiosity.
– Lord Anthony Giddens
Globalization, the war on terror, and Islamic
fundamentalism – followed closely by a rise
in Islamophobia – have escalated tensions
between Western nations and the Muslim world.
Yet internationally renowned Islamic scholar
Akbar Ahmed believes that through dialogue and
understanding, these cultures can coexist peacefully
and respectfully. That hope and belief result in an
extraordinary journey. To learn what Muslims think
and how they really view America, Ahmed traveled
to the three major regions of the Muslim worldthe
Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia. Journey into
Islam: The Crisis of Globalization is the riveting story
of his search for common ground. His absorbing
narrative and personal photos bring the reader on a
tour of Islam and its peoples.

Reflections of
Hearts and Minds
Media, Opinion, and Identity
in the Arab World
Shibley Telhami
From the airing of bin
Laden tapes to the
coverage of war in
Iraq, the rise of the new
media in the Middle
East is an important
and controversial
development. When
contrasted with the
government-controlled
media that limited Arab
public information and
expression in previous decades, the new media,
especially satellite television networks such as Al-
Jazeera, have moved to the foreground of regional
politics and U.S. foreign policy. Utilizing original
and ground-breaking public opinion surveys within
the Middle East, best-selling author Shibley Telhami
lays out the implications of this historic expansion in
media activities and outlets.
Telhami’s timely investigation explores the actual
impact of these media on Arab public opinion and,
more importantly, on how they help form notions
of identity in the region. Do the media mirror public
opinion or do they shape it? Are they reinforcing
Arab identity at the expense of state identity in the
Arab world? As one of America’s most sought-after
intellectuals and commentators on the region,
Telhami offers a unique analysis of the trends that will
shape the Arab media, and how the U.S. government
will interact with them in coming years.

Inheriting Syria
Bashar’s Trial by Fire
REVISED EDITION
Flynt Leverett
The Idea of Pakistan
REVISED EDITION
Stephen Philip Cohen
The Syria of President
Hafez Assad was…repressive,
backward, and
opaque. Today, almost 30
years later, Syria under
the rule of Hafez’s son
Bashar is still repressive
and backward. But it has
been rendered considerably
less opaque thanks
to Inheriting Syria, a
succinct but masterful
dissection by Flynt
Leverett.
– Thomas W. Lippman, Washington Post Book World
In this revised and updated paperback, Flynt Leverett
once again pulls back the curtains to present a
fascinating and authoritative portrait of Syria under
the leadership of the Assad dynasty, particularly
the strategic legacy bequeathed by Hafez al-Assad
to his son Bashar. It draws implications for U.S.
policy, offering a bold new strategy for achieving
American objectives. The revised edition includes
coverage and analysis of the assassination of former
Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri, the UN investigative
report that ensued, and the long-hoped-for Syrian
pullout from Lebanon.

Cohen’s facts are indisputible,
his logic cold and
clear, and his omissions
deliberate and meaningful.
– Foreign Affairs
[Cohen’s] survey of how
the country has developed
and why it is at the
crossroads it is now is
most insightful and useful.
A first class primer and
more as I commence my
work.
– David B. Collins, High Commissioner of Canada,
Islamabad
Stephen Cohen updates his critically acclaimed book
with a discerning view of significant recent events in
the region, particularly the devastating earthquake
in Kashmir and its aftereffects. The quake killed over
70,000 people and left another 3 million homeless
in one of the most remote, inhospitable parts of
the world. Cohen observes how the catastrophic
event has affected Pakistan’s political, military, and
economic structures, as well as its relationships with
other countries.

Engaging India
Diplomacy, Democracy,
and the Bomb
REVISED EDITION
Strobe Talbott
A fascinating study of how
diplomatic dialogue can
slowly broaden to include
subtle considerations of
the domestic politics and
foreign policies of both
countries involved.
– Foreign Affairs
In this revised edition
of the highly praised
Engaging India, Strobe
Talbott updates his
bestselling diplomatic account of America’s parallel
negotiations with India and Pakistan over nuclear
proliferation in the late 1990s. The update looks at
recent nuclear dealings between India and the United
States, including Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh’s 2005 visit to America. Under the highly
controversial agreement that emerged, the United
States would give India access to U.S. nuclear
technology and conventional weapons systems.
In exchange, India would place its civilian nuclear
program under international monitoring and continue
the ban on nuclear testing.

Democracy after Pinochet
Politics, Parties, and Elections
in Chile
Alan Angell
This book examines the politics of democracy in
Chile since the election of 1989 saw the transition
from a military dictatorship. Since that date,
democracy has become firmly established in Chile,
and the country has seen an unpredecented period
of economic growth and political stability. Yet the
experience of the 1973 coup, the long period of
dictatorship and of exile for the opposition cast
long shadows over Chile. This book examines how
the insitutions of authoritarianism have weakened
over time and how democracy has become firmly
institutionalised.
Chapters one and two examine international aspects
of the 1973 coup and how these influenced the
development of politics inside Chile. Chapters
three, four, and five provide empirical analyses
of the 1989, 1993, and 1999/2000 presidential
elections, respectively. Chapter six investigates
how the Pinochet factor influenced developments
after 1990 and the Chilean reaction to Pinochet’s
arrest in London in 1998. Chapter seven assesses
changes in the Chilean party system and links these
to similar processes elsewhere. The final chapter
examines the paradox that despite economic and
social advances, opinion polls report a low level of
attachment to democracy and very low levels of
confidence in political institutions.

China and Iran
Ancient Partners in
a Post-Imperial World
John W. Garver
World Order after Leninism
Vladimir Tismaneanu, Marc Morje
Howard and Rudra Sil
John Garver breaks new
ground on the relationship
between the People’s
Republic of China and the
Islamic Republic of Iran,
each of which consider the
other a partner in building
a post-Western dominated
Asia. Successive
governments of both
China and Iran have
recognized substantial
national capabilities in each other that allow the
countries to achieve their own national interests
through cooperation. These interests have varied
– from countering Soviet expansionism to resisting
US unilateralism – but the cooperation between the
two nations remains constant.
In a political climate where China is recognized as
a rising and increasingly influential global power
and Iran as one of the most powerful nations in
the Middle East, this book is a crucial analysis of a
globally important subject.

World Order after Leninism
examines the origins
and evolution of world
communism and explores
how its legacies have
shaped the post-Cold War
world order. The lessons
of Leninism continue to
exert a strong influence
in contemporary foreign
affairs – most visibly
in Poland and other
post-communist states of the former Soviet Union,
but also in China and other newly industrialized
states balancing authoritarian impulses against
the pressures of globalization, free markets, and
democratic possibilities.
World Order after Leninism began as a conversation
among former students of Ken Jowitt, professor
of political science at the University of California at
Berkeley from 1970-2002 and whose monumental
career transformed the fields of political science,
Russian studies, and post-communist studies.
Using divergent case studies, the essays in this
volume document the ways in which Jowitt’s
exceptionally original work on Leninism’s evolution
and consolidation remains highly relevant in
analyzing contemporary post-communist and postauthoritarian
political transformations.

Serbia Since 1989
Politics and Society Under
Milosevic and After
Sabrina P. Ramet, Vjeran Pavlakovie
and Obrad Kesic
In this valuable collection
of essays, Vjeran
Pavlakovic, Reneo Lukic,
and Obrad Kesic examine
elements of continuity
and discontinuity from
the Milosevic era to the
twenty-first century,
the struggle at the
center of power, and
relations between
Serbia and Montenegro.
Contributions by Sabrina Ramet, James Gow, and
Milena Michalski explore the role of Serbian wartime
propaganda and the impact of the war on Serbian
society. Essays by Eric Gordy, Maja Miljovic, Marko
Hoare, and Kari Osland look at the legacy of Serbia’s
recent wars-issues of guilt and responsibility, the
economy, and the trial of Slobodan Milosevic in The
Hague. Sabrina Ramet and Biljana Bijelic address
the themes of culture and values. Frances Trix, Emil
Kerenji, and Dennis Reinhartz explore the peripheries
in the politics of Kosovo/a, Vojvodina, and Serbia’s
Roma.
Serbia Since 1989 reveals a Serbia that is still
traumatized from Milosevic’s rule and groping toward
redefining its place in the world.

Koizumi Diplomacy
Japan’s Kantei Approach to Foreign
and Defense Affairs
Tomohito Shinoda
Japan’s policymaking
strategy in foreign and
defense affairs changed
dramatically in 2001
after Prime Minister
Junichiro Koizumi took
the helm of the longruling
Liberal Democratic
Party. Following a series
of bland and short-lived
prime ministers, Koizumi’s
infusion of fresh energy
into a tired and opaque party has been compared
with Tony Blair’s successful revamping of New
Labour in the U.K. Koizumi, however, had a weak
power base in the party and limited diplomatic
experience. How, then, was he able to exercise
leadership?

Islamist Mobilization
in Turkey
A Study in Vernacular Politics
Jenny B. White
Governing China’s
Multiethnic Frontiers
Edited by Morris Rossabi
The emergence of an Islamist movement and the
buoyancy of Islamic political parties in Turkey has
puzzled Western observers. White shows how
everyday concerns and interpersonal relations,
rather than Islamic dogma, helped the Islamist
Welfare Party gain access to community networks;
argues that Islamic political networks are based
on cultural understandings of relationships, duties,
and trust; and shows how Islamic activists have
sustained cohesion despite contradictory agendas
and beliefs.

Modern Clan Politics
The Power of “Blood” in Kazakhstan
and Beyond
Edward Schatz
Edward Schatz explores the politics of kin-based
clan divisions in the post-Soviet state of Kazakhstan.
Drawing from extensive ethnographic and archival
research, interviews, and wide-ranging secondary
sources, he highlights a politics that poses a twotiered
challenge to current thinking about modernity
and Central Asia. Asking why kinship divisions do not
fade from political life with modernization, he shows
that the state actually constructs clan relationships
by infusing them with practical political and social
meaning. By activating the most important quality
of clans – their “concealability” – the state is itself
responsible for the vibrant politics of these subethnic
divisions which has emerged and flourished in post-
Soviet Kazakhstan.

Fearful Symmetry
India-Pakistan Crises in the
Shadow of Nuclear Weapons
Sumit Ganguly and Devin T. Hagerty
Shared Histories
A Palestinian-Israeli Dialogue
Edited by Paul Scham, Walid Salem,
and Benjamin Pogrund
This book provides a
timely review of how India
and Pakistan have several
times nearly allowed their
grievances to lead to war
– and how, each time,
they managed to dodge
disaster.
– Steve Coll, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of
Ghost Wars
This book asks an important
question: Why have
India and Pakistan not fought a major war in the
past two decade? It gives a crisp answer: nuclear
weapons. Along the way, the authors with a sure
touch explore the byways of Pakistani and Indian
political and military policies.
– Kenneth Waltz, author of A Theory of International
Politics
This lucid and comprehensive study of the two
nations’ crisis behavior in the nuclear age is the first
work on Indo-Pakistani relations to take systematic
account of the role played by the United States
in South Asia’s security dynamics over the past
two decades in the context of unipolarization and
formulates a blueprint for American policy toward
a more positive and productive India-Pakistan
relationship.

There is no single history
of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict. There are two.
This volume attempts to
present both histories
with parallel narratives
of key points in the 19th
and 20th centuries to
1948. The histories are
presented by 14 Israeli
and Palestinian experts,
joined by other historians,
journalists, and activists, who then discuss the
differences and similarities between their accounts.
The reader has the opportunity to witness, at
first hand, a respectful confrontation between the
competing versions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
