letter from the editor:

We are delighted to present the Columbia University Press Political Science Catalog for our new books in 2015. The titles featured here strengthen our lists in international relations in Asia and the Middle East, political theory, foreign policy, security studies, and terrorism.

We offer two important books that speak to the current electoral debate. According to Gloria Steinem, The Hillary Doctrine: Sex and American Foreign Policy, by Valerie Hudson and Patricia Leidl, is “the first book about high-level efforts to create a foreign policy as if women mattered.” The second book, Ballots, Bullets, and Bargains: American Foreign Policy and Presidential Elections, by Michael H. Armacost, elucidates how the contours of the U.S. presidential-election system influence the content and conduct of American foreign policy.

Other highlights include Karen Barkey and Elazar Barkan’s Choreographies of Shared Sacred Sites, published in cooperation with the Institute of Religion, Culture and Public Life at Columbia University, and Étienne Balibar’s Violence and Civility: On the Limits of Political Philosophy.

Our new Columbia Studies on Middle East Politics series, edited by Marc Lynch, seeks academi-cally rigorous, well-written, relevant, and accessible books for an interested academic and policy audience. We begin it proudly with Marc Lynch’s critically acclaimed edited volume The Arab Uprisings Explained: New Contentious Politics in the Middle East and Frederic Wehrey’s Sectarian Politics in the Gulf: From the Iraq War to the Arab Uprisings.

We are also proud to announce our new partnership with the Woodrow Wilson Center Press, extending our program in publishing outstanding scholarly and public-policy books for a world-wide readership, beginning with Gabriel Weimann’s Terrorism in Cyberspace: The Next Generation and Saeid Golkar’s Captive Society: The Basij Militia and Social Control in Iran.

We are also pleased to announce the new CIAO database. The renowned international affairs website launched in 1998 and has now undergone a complete overhaul to enhance the user experience. The new CIAO features a redesigned user interface that standardizes the access and presentation of content, a live Twitter feed, and improved search functionality. The site has long been praised for its think-tank content, available nowhere else on the Web, and we are excited to bring this valuable research onto a new platform. The revamped website also features a new section of Columbia University Press books on international relations.

Sincerely

Anne Routon, senior editor, Political Science

AMERICAN POLITICS & GOVERNMENT

The Reagan EraA History of the 1980s

Doug Rossinow

“This comprehensive work is an indispens-

able resource for anyone seeking to under-

stand the politics of a pivotal decade."

— Washington Independent Review of Books

"With rare eloquence and erudition, Doug

Rossinow captures the many contradictions

of the 1980s, years when the cultural, politi-

cal, and economic landscape of the United

States was decisively reconfigured by the rise

of Ronald Reagan and his conservative move-

ment. This book not only paints a vivid por-

trait of a momentous historical turning point,

it also illuminates dynamics that continue to

shape our world even now. There is no better

introduction to the Reagan years."

Ballots, Bullets, and BargainsAmerican Foreign Policy and Presidential Elections

Michael H. Armacost

“A superb discussion of U.S. foreign policy

in the context of presidential politics since

the elections of 1948. With less than two

years to go before our next presidential

contest, this is an especially timely and

thoughtful read."

— John Negroponte, former deputy

secretary of state

Drawing on twenty-four years of experi-ence in government, Michael H. Armacost explores how the contours of the U.S. presidential election system influence the content and conduct of American foreign policy. He examines how the nomination battle impels candidates to express defer-ence to the foreign policy DNA of their party and may force an incumbent to make wholesale policy adjustments to fend off an intra-party challenge for the nomination. He describes the way reelection campaigns can prod a chief executive to fix long-neglected problems, kick intractable policy dilemmas down the road, settle for modest course corrections, or scapegoat others for policies gone awry.

Chair of Mormon Studies, Claremont

Graduate University

From Brigham Young's skirmishes with the federal government over polygamy to the Mormon involvement in California's Proposition 8, contributors combine sociology, political science, race and gen-der studies, and popular culture to track Mormonism's rapid integration into American life. With essays from both Mormon and non-Mormon scholars, this anthology tells a big-picture story of a small sect that became a major player in American

politics.

AMERICAN POLITICS & GOVERNMENT

Faces of PowerConstancy and Change in United States Foreign Policy from Truman to ObamaTHIRD EDITION

Seyom Brown

“[An] analysis with difference-an important

difference. Seyom Brown discusses United

States policy from the perspective of how

decision makers in the United States viewed

their adversaries and the alternatives as

those decision makers saw them....Well

worth the effort of a careful reading."

— American Political Science Review

Seyom Brown’s authoritative account of U.S.

foreign policy from the end of the Second

World War to the present challenges com-

mon assumptions about American presidents

and their struggle with power and purpose.

Brown’s analyses of Obama’s policies for

countering terrorist threats at home and

abroad, dealing with unprecedented upheav-

als in the Middle East, preventing the prolif-

eration of nuclear weapons, and containing

new territorial expansion by China and

Russia reinforce the book’s “constancy and

change” theme, which shows that serving

the interests of the most powerful country in

the world transforms the Oval Office’s occu-

pant more than its occupant can transform the

world.

Modern DilemmasUnderstanding Collective Action in the 21st Century

Edited by Dylan Kissane and Alexandru Volacu

Foreword by Adrian Miroiu

Collective action problems are ubiquitous in situations involving human interactions and therefore lie at the heart of economy and political science. In one of the most salient statements on this topic, Elinor Ostrom, corecipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, claims that 'the theory of collective action is the central subject of political science.' The collection of essays presented in this timely volume targets the problem of collective action from both a theoretical and applied perspective. Its mul-tidisciplinary approach makes it a valuable reading for students and scholars working in a number of different areas of study, such as political science, economy, political phi-losophy, public policies, comparative politics, and international relations.

Industrial Policy and Economic Transformation in Africa

Edited by Akbar Noman and Joseph E. Stiglitz

“An invaluable guide for Africa's pursuit of

economic transformation and for those

concerned with the "what" and "how" of

government's role. The book highlights

where government and industry can

collaborate to design and execute a

transformation agenda, and sharply details

why industrial policies should be central to

government strategies."

— K.Y. Amoako, President, African Center

“An outstanding collection of essays that

should be read not only by those interested

in Africa's industrialization but also by read-

ers from other parts of the world who have

sought to bring industrial policy back into

their own development thinking and endevours."

Development-Induced Displacement and ResettlementCauses, Consequences, and Socio-Legal ContextBogumil Terminski

Today, so-called 'development-induced dis-

placement and resettlement' (DIDR) is one

of the dominant causes of internal spatial

mobility worldwide. Each year over 15 mil-

lion people are forced to abandon their

homes to make space for economic develop-

ment infrastructure. The construction of

dams and irrigation projects, the expansion

of communication networks, urbanization

and re-urbanization, the extraction and

transportation of mineral resources, forced

evictions in urban areas, and population

redistribution schemes count among the

many possible causes. Terminski presents

the issue of development-caused displace-

ment as a highly diverse, global social prob-

lem occurring in all regions of the world. As

a human rights issue it poses a challenge

to public international law and to institu-

tions providing humanitarian assistance. A

significant part of this book is devoted to the

current dynamics of development-caused

resettlement in Europe.

The Hillary DoctrineSex and American Foreign Policy

Valerie M. Hudson and Patricia Leidl

Foreword by Swanee Hunt

“Through a combination of case studies,

interviews and meticulous research including

perhaps the most exhaustive compilation of

data ever assembled on the subject, Hudson

and Leidl make the case that the equality of

women is not simply an issue of fairness.

It is fundamental to peace and prosperity

globally....The carefully assembled facts and

the often searing voices of women them-

selves tell a compelling story. Hudson and

Leidl follow a concise historical treatment

of women's rights with illuminating case

studies, setting the stage for focused policy

recommendations.... The authors argue for

an expansion of the Hillary Doctrine as U.S.

national policy to an international Right to

Protect Women. This book is required read-

ing for policy makers and implementers as

well as anyone concerned about where we

are going as a nation and a world."

M. A. Thomas

“Govern Like Us delivers a thought-provoking

and valuable reminder that sanctimonious

insistence on moral perfection can be as self-

defeating as moral indifference."

— The Wall Street Journal

“In recent years, there has been a broad

recognition in rich countries that poor gov-

ernment is a leading cause of poverty, and

they have undertaken vast programs to stem

corruption and dysfunctional politics. In

Govern Like Us, M. A. Thomas exposes the

illusions that have undergirded this effort

and shows why the vast sums invested in

places like Afghanistan and Iraq have yielded

such meager results. This book should be

required reading for anyone in the develop-

ment field."

Choreographies of Shared Sacred SitesReligion, Politics, and Conflict Resolution

Edited by Elazar Barkan and Karen Barkey

"Sacred sites are ideally intimate possessions,

inviolable and holy. Sharing them with other

communities is like splitting an atom. This

timely collection allows readers to examine

the choreographies of theological politics

and political theologies scripted to contain

potential eruptions of violence, and these

highly readable case studies will fuel discus-

sions of the post-Ottoman era for many years

to come."

— Charles Stewart, University College London

This anthology explores the dynamics of shared religious sites in Turkey, the Balkans, Palestine/Israel, Cyprus, and Algeria, indi-cating where local and national stakeholders maneuver between competition and coop-eration, coexistence and conflict.

Russia in the ArcticHard or Soft Power?

Alexander Sergunin and Valery Konyshev

In this timely book, the authors assess Russia's domestic discourse on the High North's role in the system of national priori-ties as well as Moscow's bi- and multilat-eral relations with major regional players, energy, environmental, socio-cultural, and military policies in the Arctic. Sergunin and Konyshev argue that Moscow pursues a double-sided strategy in the region; defending her legitimate economic inter-ests in the region while also being open to cooperate with foreign partners willing to exploit Arctic natural resources. The authors conclude that in the foreseeable future Moscow's strategy in the region will be predictable and pragmatic rather than aggressive or spontaneous. They suggest a proper international environment in the Arctic should be created by common efforts with other regional players willingness to solve existing and potential problems on the basis of international law.

Terrorism in CyberspaceThe Next Generation

Gabriel Weimann

Foreword by Bruce Hoffman

“A compelling portrait of tomorrow's threat

landscape, this is a book to be reckoned with."— Jane Harman, former U.S. representative

"A timely and indispensable resource for all

those concerned about effectively countering

terrorists' exploitation of the Internet's and

the dark elements that can reside there."

— Perspectives on Terrorism

This book addresses three major questions: why and how terrorism went online; what recent trends can be discerned—such as engaging children and women, promoting lone wolf attacks, and using social media; and what future threats can be expected, along with how they can be reduced or countered. To answer these questions, Weimann analyzes content from more than 9,800 terrorist websites, selects the most important kinds of web activity, describes their background and history, and surveys their content in terms of kind and inten-sity, the groups and prominent individuals involved, and effects.

Talking About TortureHow Political Discourse Shapes the Debate

Jared Del Rosso

“By tracing the evolution of Congress's

conversations on topics ranging from Abu

Ghraib to waterboarding, Jared Del Rosso

shows how facts, policies, and principles

can be created, challenged, and changed.

His painstaking analysis offers both a careful

history of recent claims about torture and a

model for those who want to penetrate offi-

cials' language about other issues."

— Joel Best, University of Delaware

Jared Del Rosso reviews transcripts from congressional hearings and scholarship on denial, torture, and state violence to docu-ment the wholesale change in rhetoric and attitude toward the use of torture by the CIA and the U.S. military during the War on Terror. He plots the evolution of the "torture issue" in U.S. politics and its manipulation by politicians to serve various ends. Most important, Talking About Torture integrates into the debate about torture the testimony of those who suffered under American interrogation practices and demonstrates how the conversation continues to influence current counterterrorism policies, such as the reliance on drones.

Dangerous TradeArms Exports, Human Rights, and International Reputation

Jennifer L. Erickson

“Dangerous Trade is a signal advance in

scholarship that helps us understand major

changes in international relations since the

Cold War's end."

— William C. Wohlforth, Dartmouth College

Jennifer L. Erickson explores the reasons top arms-exporting democracies have put aside past sovereignty, security, and economic worries in favor of humanitar-ian arms transfer controls, and she fol-lows the early effects of this about-face on export practice. Using statistical data and interviews conducted in France, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Erickson challenges existing IR theories of state behavior while provid-ing insight into the role of reputation as a social mechanism and the importance of government transparency and account-ability in generating compliance with new

norms and rules.

Today's terrorist leaders think strategically.

They have benefitted from decades of experi-

ence, observing their predecessors, enabling

them to create new kinds of organizations

and formulate strategies that exploit the

disadvantages of the democratic state.

'trauma,' forensic processes, and 'terrorism,'

which in turn remake the world. An impor-

POLITICAL THEORY & PHILOSOPHY

Marx after MarxHistory and Time in the Expansion of CapitalismHarry Harootunian

"A landmark study within Marxist thought.

Drawing largely upon Marx's later works for

its conceptual tools and theoretical method,

this study analyses how different regions

under differing circumstances, throw up a

plurality of developmental forms all under

the general code of capitalist accumulation."

— Michael Dutton, author of Policing Chinese

Politics

This book deprovincializes Marx and the West's cultural turn by returning to the theo-rist's earlier explanations of capital's origins and development, which followed a trajec-tory beyond Euro-America to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Engaging with the texts of Lenin, Luxemburg, Gramsci, and other pivotal theorists, Harootunian strips contem-porary Marxism of its cultural preoccupation by reinstating the deep relevance of history.

Affirming the value of communi-ties and the productive role religion plays in many lives, he advocates new solutions to such global challenges as conflicts in the developing world, income inequality, climate change, and mass migration.

Violence and Civility

On the Limits of Political Philosophy

Étienne Balibar

Translated by G. M. Goshgarian

“Violence and Civility offers both a probing

philosophical exploration of the relationship

of violence to politics and a political

philosophy of 'anti-violence' responding to

the structural and overt violences of capitalist

modernity. Balibar's philosophical archive

is extensive and deep —he thinks with

Hobbes, Spinoza, Hegel, Weber, Luxemburg,

Lacan, Derrida, and, of course, his beloved

and inexhaustible Marx. Braided together by

his singular philosophical imagination and

passion for justice, Balibar's subtle readings

result in nothing less than revolutionary

political theory for the twenty-first century."

"Grimm surveys the thousand-year history

of the idea of sovereignty— emphasizing

its changing meanings as Western ideas of

political legitimacy transform themselves

over the centuries. Grimm's work is the

first on this subject that combines historical

mastery with a sense of the present need to

redefine our political understandings."

— Bruce Ackerman, Yale Law School

Dieter Grimm's accessible introduction to the concept of sovereignty ties the evolu-tion of the idea to historical events, from the religious conflicts of sixteenth-century Europe to today's trends in globalization and transnational institutions. Grimm won-ders whether recent political changes have undermined notions of national sovereignty, comparing manifestations of the concept in different parts of the world. Geared for class-room use, the study maps various notions of sovereignty in relation to the people, the nation, the state, and the federation, distin-guishing between internal and external types of sovereignty. $25.00 / £17.50 paper 978-0-231-16425-2

The Highway of DespairCritical Theory After Hegel

Robyn Marasco

"The Highway of Despair masterfully puts

patient interpretation in the service of a power-

ful political and theoretical vision. By following

the thread of negativity that joins Hegel to

Adorno, Bataille, and Fanon, Marasco shows

that 'despair' is not a feeling of impotence but

a mode of comportment through which people

register and engage the torn, divided character

of their world. In drawing out and analyzing

despair's surprising power to energize praxis

and sustain thought, she simultaneously recasts

critical theory's history and scrambles the tired

oppositional coordinates through which we too

often debate its future."

— Patchen Markell, University of Chicago

Analyzing the works of an eclectic cast of think-ers, Robyn Marasco considers the dynamism of despair as a critical passion, reckoning with the forms of historical life forged along Hegel's

highway.

A Freedom's RightThe Social Foundations of Democratic Life

“Honneth has provided us with a central refer-

ence point for future debates on the nature

of modernity, freedom, justice, and the social

world."

— Review of Politics

"Breaking with the dominant style of

contemporary political philosophy, Axel

Honneth demonstrates how fruitful it can

be to develop a theory of social justice not

simply by appealing to common beliefs and

intuitions but more fundamentally by under-

standing the characteristic institutions of

modern society. Freedom's Right is a brilliant

work by one of today's leading philosophers."

Starve and ImmolateThe Politics of Human Weapons

Best First Book Prize, FPT Section of APSA

Banu Bargu

“Starve and Immolate is more than a rigorously

documented account of a major resistance

movement; it is a complex and erudite, yet

lucid, theoretical analysis of the politics of life

and death that draws upon, but ultimately

moves beyond, Foucault's and Agamben's

readings of sovereignty and biopolitics to make

a major contribution to thinking about rela-

tions of power and reseatance in contemporary

society... A much-discussed literature is made

fresh again through Bargu's impressive skill."

— Radical Philosophy

"In this remarkable book, Bargu frames a

political ethnography of hunger strikes in

Turkish prisions with debates about Foucault's

critique of biopolitical power... Elegently writ-

ten and argued, this text is a compelling

empirical and theoretical contribution."

Poverty in the Midst of AffluenceHow Hong Kong Mismanaged Its Prosperity

Choice Outstanding Academic Title

Leo F. Goodstadt

Hong Kong is among the richest cities in the world. Yet over the past 15 years, living conditions for the average family have deteriorated. Successive govern-ments have been reluctant to invest in services for the elderly, the disabled, the long-term sick, and the poor, while educa-tion has become more elitist. The political system has helped to entrench a mistaken consensus that social spending is a threat to financial stability. In this trenchant attack on government mismanagement, Leo Goodstadt traces how officials have created a 'new poverty' in Hong Kong and argues that their misguided policies are both a legacy of the colonial era and a deliberate choice by modern govern-ments, and not the result of economic crises.

Dana Burde

"Public education in conflict-ridden societ-

ies should be a force for peace and stability,

if done well. But Dana Burde shows that

international aid to education in Afghanistan

sowed conflict when its political goals pri-

oritized jihad against the Soviet occupation

or favored some ethnic groups over others.

Impeccably researched, this book has global

implications for thinking about politics, edu-

cation policy, and foreign aid."

— Jack Snyder, Columbia University

Dana Burde shows how aid to education in Afghanistan bolstered conflict both deliber-ately in the 1980s through violence-infused, anti-Soviet curricula and inadvertently in the 2000s through misguided stabilization programs. She also reveals how dominant humanitarian models that determine what counts as appropriate aid have limited attention and resources toward education, in some cases fueling programs that under-mine their goals.

The Capitalist UnconsciousFrom Korean Unification to Transnational Korea

Hyun Ok Park

“Combining broad theoretical insights into

Korea's rapidly changing political economy

with vivid ethnographic details of migrant

workers' experiences, Hyun Ok Park's The

Capitalist Unconscious challenges us to

reimagine the region's present, as well as its

future. It will provoke lively debates about

the construction of 'transnational Korea' in

the twenty-first century."

— Gay Seidman, University of Wisconsin-

Madison

Based on extensive archival and ethno-graphic research in South Korea and China, The Capitalist Unconscious shows how the hegemonic democratic politics of the post-Cold War era (reparation, peace, and human rights) have consigned the rights of migrant laborers—protagonists of transnational Korea—to identity politics, constitutionalism, and cosmopolitanism. Park reveals the rivet-ing capitalist logic of these politics, which underpins legal and policy debates, social activism, and media spectacle.

“Ho-fung Hung's acessible and clear-eyed

assessment of China's prospects, rooted both

in the longer patterns of China's own history

and in global economics, reaches unexpected

and reassuring conclusions."

— Robert A. Kapp, former President of the

U.S.-China Business Council

Through a cutting-edge historical, socio-

logical, and political analysis, Ho-fung

Hung exposes the competing interests and

economic realities that temper the dream

of Chinese supremacy—forces that are sty-

mieing growth throughout the global South.

His work reveals how much China depends

on the existing order and how the inter-

ests of the Chinese elites maintain these

ties. Through its perpetuation of the dollar

standard and its addiction to U.S. Treasury

bonds, China remains bound to the terms

of its own prosperity, and its economic

practices of exploiting debt bubbles are des-

tined to fail. Hung warns of a postmiracle

China that will grow increasingly assertive

in attitude while remaining constrained in

capability.

Glosserman and Snyder isolate compet-ing notions of national identity as the main obstacle to a productive partnership between Japan and South Korea. Through public opinion data, interviews, and years of observation, they show how fundamen-tally incompatible, rapidly changing con-ceptions of national identity in Japan and South Korea--and not struggles over power or structural issues—have complicated ter-ritorial claims and international policy.

Hong Kong Land for Hong Kong PeopleFixing the Failures of Our Housing Policy

Yue Chim Richard Wong

In this volume, Yue Chim Richard Wong traces the history of Hong Kong's postwar housing policy. He then discusses current housing problems and their solutions, draw-ing on examples from around the world. Wong argues that housing policy in Hong Kong, with its multiple, often incompat-ible objectives, and its focus on supply over demand, can no longer satisfy the needs of a diverse and dynamic population. He rec-ommends three simple low-cost policies to promote home ownership and social mobil-ity: sell public rental housing units to the sit-ting tenants; make subsidized homes more affordable; and reform the public housing program along lines adopted in Singapore, where government-built housing may be

resold or leased in a free market.

A longtime political analyst and thinker, Sudipta Kaviraj proves in this probing col-lection that he is also an acute writer on literature and politics. In these works, which lie at the intersection of the study of litera-ture, social theory, and intellectual history, Kaviraj locates serious reflections on moder-nity’s complexities in the vibrant currents of modern Indian literature, particularly in the realms of fiction, poetry, and autobiography.

Contentious Activism and Inter-Korean Relations

Danielle L. Chubb

"In this meticulously researched book,

Danielle L. Chubb reveals that South Korean

policies toward the North are about far more

than strategic considerations. Reaching

beyond prevailing state-centric foreign policy

accounts, she convincingly argues that inter-

Korean relations have been significantly

shaped by the legacy that several decades

of contentious political activism have left on

South Korean society and politics."

— Roland Bleiker, University of Queensland

Danielle L. Chubb traces the development of various policy disputes and perspectives from the 1970s through South Korea's democratic transition. Focusing on four case studies—the 1980 Kwangju uprising, the June 1987 uprising, the move toward democracy in the 1990s, and the decade of "progressive" government that began with the election of Kim Dae Jung in 1997—she tracks activ-ists' complex views on reunification along with the rise and fall of more radical voices encouraging the adoption of a North Korean-style form of socialism.

"This is the first full-length study of this criti-

cal organization in the Iranian power struc-

ture. Saeid Golkar provides a comprehensive

account of the Basij's organizational struc-

ture, insight into the social background of its

membership, the training and indoctrination

of the members, and the Basij's extensive

security, watchdog, and propaganda role in

Iranian society."

— Shaul Bakhash, George Mason University

Iran's Organization for the Mobilization of the Oppressed (Sazeman-e Basij-e Mostazafan), commonly known as the Basij, is a paramilitary organization used by the regime to suppress dissidents, vote as a bloc, and indoctrinate Iranian citizens. Captive Society surveys the Basij's history, structure, and sociology, as well as its influence on Iranian society, its economy, and its educa-tional system. Saied Golkar's account draws not only on published materials—including Basij and Revolutionary Guard publications, allied websites, and blogs—but also on his own informal communications with Basij members while studying and teaching in Iranian universities as recently as 2014.

Islam and the Politics

of Culture in EuropeMemory, Aesthetics, Art

Edited by Frank Peter, Sarah Dornhof,

and Elena Arigita

Debates surrounding the "new presence of Muslims" in Europe tend to be understood in terms of European values, multicultural policies and secularism. The conflict-ridden transforma-tion of European identities set in motion by this phenomenon is currently discussed with refer-ence to normative orders, historical legacies, public philosophies, and political ideologies. This volume extends the analysis by examin-ing transformations in European cultural politics. In the past decade, multiple images of Islam and Muslims have become part of the processes shaping the cultural particularities and sensibilities that define European identities. This volume examines these developments in the fields of memory politics, cultural produc-tion and Islamic art. $45.00 paper 978-38-376-2176-1

Voices of the Arab Spring Personal Stories from the Arab Revolutions

Asaad al-Saleh

"Humane and sensitive storytelling."

— New Statesman

“There’s a wonderful cumulative power to

reading the personal narratives. They’re grip-

ping, extremely poignant, often heartbreak-

ing, and astonishing. It’s long overdue to

finally have unmediated access to “regular”

citizens’ experiences and recollections.”

— Mona El-Ghobashy

Featuring participants from a variety of social and educational backgrounds and political commitments, these personal stories of action represent the true phenom-enon of the Arab Spring’s united though broad social movements, collective identi-ties, and youthful character. Their testimony speaks to the multifaceted emotional, psy-chological, and cultural factors motivating citizens to join together and fight, putting a human face on events that might seem abstract or impersonal to many in the West.

An epilogue looks at the Russian annexation of Crimea and the creation of breakaway repub-

lics in the east, leading to full-scale conflict.

The Dark Side of European IntegrationSocial Foundations and Cultural Determinants of the Rise of Radical Right Movements in Contemporary Europe

Alina Polyakova

Across Europe, radical right-wing parties are winning increasing electoral support. The Dark Side of European Integration argues that this rising nationalism and the mobilization of the radical right are the consequences of European economic inte-gration. The European economic project has produced a cultural backlash in the form of nationalist radical right ideologies. Contrary to popular belief, economic performance and immigration rates are not the only fac-tors that determine the far right's success. There are other political and social factors that explain why in post-socialist Eastern European countries such parties had histori-cally been weaker than their potential, which they have now started to fulfill increasingly. Using in-depth interviews with radical right activists in Ukraine, Alina Polyakova also explores how radical right mobilization works on the ground through social net-works, allowing new insights into how social movements and political parties interact.

Explaining Russian Foreign Policy BehaviorTheory and Practice

Alexander Sergunin

Alexander Sergunin examines Russian foreign policy discourse with a particular focus on the major foreign policy schools of Atlanticism, Eurasianism, derzhavniki, realpolitik, geopolitics, neo-Marxism, radi-cal nationalism, and post-positivism. He critically assesses the evolution of Russian foreign policy decision-making over the last 25 years and analyzes the roles of various governmental agencies, interest groups and subnational actors. Concluding that a for-eign policy consensus is gradually emerging in contemporary Russia, Sergunin argues that this consensus aims, not only at the formulation of an international strategy, but also at the search for a new national identity. In addition, Sergunin points to Russia's current domestic situation, defined by numerous socio-economic, inter-ethnic, demographic, environmental, and other problems, as indicating a need to abandon superpower ambitions for more modest foreign policy goals.
