The Chinese EconomySTEPHEN L. MORGANChina’s transformation over the past four decades has been unprecedented. The vision of its leaders for the next three decades is unprecedented too. Stephen Morgan’s analysis of China’s recent economic history examines the Chinese state’s quest to become the first economy to avoid the “middle income trap” without significant political and social liberalization.The book examines debates about the Chinese economic story from the time of the great divergence to the present day and considers wider issues beyond the usual GDP indicators, including well-being and human capital, business and the culture of management, ageing, urbanization and sustainability, consumerism, health, education and the environment with all their interlinked challenges.World Economies Series.

Cities at War: Global Insecurity and Urban ResistanceMARY KALDOR AND SASKIA SASSENIn Cities at War, Mary Kaldor and Saskia Sassen assemble an international team of scholars to examine cities as sites of contemporary warfare and insecurity. Reflecting Kaldor’s expertise on security cultures and Sassen’s perspective on cities and their geographies, they develop new insight into how cities and their residents encounter instability and conflict, as well as the ways in which urban forms provide possibilities for countering violence. Through a series of case studies of cities including Baghdad, Bogotá, Ciudad Juarez, Kabul, and Karachi, the book reveals the unequal distribution of insecurity as well as how urban capabilities might offer resistance and hope. Through analyses of how contemporary forms of identity, inequality, and segregation interact with the built environment, Cities at War explains why and how political violence has become increasingly urbanized.

Cops, Cameras, and Crisis: The Potential and the Perils of Police Body-Worn CamerasMICHAEL D. WHITE AND AILI MALMFollowing the tragic deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and others at the hands of police, interest in body-worn cameras for local, state, and federal law enforcement has skyrocketed. In Cops, Cameras, and Crisis, Michael D. White and Aili Malm provide an up-to-date analysis of this promising technology, evaluating whether it can address today’s crisis in police legitimacy. Drawing on the latest research and insights from experts with field experience with police-worn body cameras, the authors show the benefits and drawbacks of this technology for police departments, police officers, and members of the public. Ultimately, they identify—and assess—each claim, weighing in on whether the specter of being “caught on tape” is capable of changing a criminal justice system desperately in need of reform.

Unequal and Unrepresented: Political Inequality and the People’s Voice in the New Gilded AgeKAY LEHMAN SCHLOZMAN, HENRY E. BRADY AND SIDNEY VERBAThe Declaration of Independence proclaims equality as a foundational American value. However, Unequal and Unrepresented finds that political voice in America is not only unequal but also unrepresentative. Those who are well educated and affluent carry megaphones. The less privileged speak in a whisper. Relying on three decades of research and an enormous wealth of information about politically active individuals and organizations, Kay Schlozman, Henry Brady, and Sidney Verba offer a concise synthesis and update of their groundbreaking work on political participation.Citing real-life examples and examining inequalities from multiple perspectives, Unequal and Unrepresented shows how disparities in political voice endanger American democracy today.

BUSINESSBusiness With Purpose: Growing Social Enterprise VenturesMELODENA STEPHENS BALAKRISHNANA Social Enterprise Venture (SEV) is defined as an organization, initiative or startup that has a strong social innovation characteristic focusing on a scalable and sustainable social wealth creation or sustainable living at the individual or community level. Most books that deal with SEVs, unfortunately still focus on non-profits. Current market trends indicate non-profits need more sustainable funding mechanisms for survival. With the growing role of the private sector in the development arena, as highlighted by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, all firms need to relook at entrepreneurship from a ‘business-with-purpose’ lens. This book fills the present gap between research and practice; and the non-profits and for-profit worlds.“This book is no academic study. It is a practical, accessible and provocative look at what allows great enterprises solve great challenges and opportunities in real time... This book is a wonderful contribution, and will help entrepreneurs build and change their worlds.”—Christopher M Schroeder, co-founder, Next Billion Ventures and author, Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East

ENVIRONMENT Climate Change from the Streets: How Conflict and Collaboration Strengthen the Environmental Justice MovementMICHAEL ANTHONY MENDEZAlthough the science of climate change is clear, policy decisions about how to respond to its effects remain contentious. Even when such decisions claim to be guided by objective knowledge, they are made and implemented through political institutions and relationships—and all the competing interests and power struggles that this implies. Michael Méndez tells a timely story of people, place, and power in the context of climate change and inequality. He explores the perspectives and influence low-income people of color bring to their advocacy work on climate change. In California, activist groups have galvanized behind issues such as air pollution, poverty alleviation, and green jobs to advance equitable climate solutions at the local, state, and global levels. 20 black and white illustrations.“Mendez’s refreshing approach engages the diverse embodied perspectives of a broad range of activists, the multiscale reality of environmental injustice, and the real work of making policy across difference. Climate Change from the Streets is an authentic, important, and necessary addition to the field.”—David Schlosberg, University of Sydney

Motor Vehicles, the Environment, and the Human Condition: Driving to ExtinctionHANS A. BAERThe world now has more than a billion motor vehicles, and this number continues to increase as developing countries imitate developed societies in their adoption of the culture of automobility. This book explores the political ecology of motor vehicles in an era of growing social disparities and environmental crises, the latter of which are most manifest in anthropogenic climate change to which motor vehicles constitute a major contributor. A political ecological perspective recognizes that motor vehicles, perhaps more than any other machine, embody the social, structural, cultural, and environmental contradictions of the capitalist world system.Environment and Society Series.Hans A. Baer is principal honorary research fellow in the School of Social Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES The Monstrous Discourse in the Donald Trump Campaign: Implications for National DiscourseDEBBIE JAY WILLIAMS AND KALYN L. PRINCEThe Monstrous Discourse in the Donald Trump Campaign: Implications for National Discourse provides a lens through which to explore the implications of the monster metaphor as applied to Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Analyzing the overt and buried usages of the monster metaphor in the media’s and Trump’s discourse, as well as the structure of the monster narrative generally, this book offers connections between the metaphor and the actions incited by its narrative. The book explores the ways in which this language also serves as a metaphor to understand the ecology of Trump’s candidacy and the polarized responses drawn by his campaign, and considers its troubling implications for the future direction of national discourse.Lexington Studies in Political Communication Series.“The Monstrous Discourse in the Donald Trump Campaign: Implications for National Discourse is a sharp analysis of recent political discourse and the power of metaphors. It is a timely and important contribution to monster studies.”—Sara K. Howe, Southern New Hampshire University

Narrowing the Channel: The Politics of Regulatory Protection in International TradeROBERT GULOTTYNarrowing the Channel demonstrates that globalization and globalized firms can paradoxically hinder rather than foster economic cooperation as larger firms seek to protect their markets through often unnecessarily strict product regulations. To illustrate the problem of regulatory protectionism, Robert Gulotty offers an in-depth analysis of contemporary rulemaking in the United States and the European Union in the areas of health, safety, and environmental standards. He shows how large firms seek regulatory schemes that disproportionately disadvantage small firms. 32 figures and 21 tables.Chicago Series on International and Domestic Institutions.

MANAGEMENT Assessment Strategies for Knowledge OrganizationsDEAN TESTA, JOHEL BROWN-GRANT AND DENISE BEDFORDAssessment models and methods are taught in business schools, routinely published, conducted at all organizational levels and widely understood. Yet as organizations transform from an industrial to knowledge-based economy, assessments are rarely adapted to the new environment. Simply applying existing assessment models and methods to knowledge does not address the challenge. Expert authors Dean Testa, Johel Brown-Grant and Denise Bedford draw from their practical and theoretical experience in designing assessments for knowledge organizations, from observing successes and failures in a variety of organizations. Synthesizing their experience, their discussions help knowledge management professionals gain a deeper understanding of maturity models and determine how best to create an assessment strategy for their organization. Working Methods for Knowledge Management Series.

Shaver exposes book hunger as a problem of critical importance to education, opportunity, and the elimination of poverty... and offers solutions.”—Dave Wilkinson, former Director of the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation, and Executive Director of the Tobin Center for Economic Policy at Yale University


Personalization at Work: How HR Can Use Job Crafting to Drive Performance, Engagement and WellbeingROB BAKERThe potential benefits of personalization on a workforce are huge. We curate music and online streaming content to suit our own tastes and we place more value on lottery numbers we have chosen ourselves, rather than a random selection from a lucky dip. When job roles are also personalized, employees are more interested, engaged and motivated at work. The responsibility for enabling this personalization lies with HR and people professionals and a key approach to doing this is via job crafting. Personalization at Work is a practical guide explaining what job crafting is, why it’s important, what the benefits are and more broadly how a personalized approach can be brought to all aspects of HR including recruitment, learning and development, performance management, diversity and inclusion and reward.

MATHEMATICS Philosophy of MathematicsØYSTEIN LINNEBOMathematics is a model of precision and objectivity, but it appears distinct from the empirical sciences because it seems to deliver nonexperiential knowledge of a nonphysical reality of numbers, sets, and functions. How can these two aspects of mathematics be reconciled? This concise book provides a systematic, accessible introduction to the field that is trying to answer that question: the philosophy of mathematics. Øystein Linnebo, one of the world’s leading scholars on the subject, introduces all of the classical approaches to the field as well as more specialized issues, including mathematical intuition, potential infinity, and the search for new mathematical axioms. Sophisticated but clear and approachable, this is an essential book for all students and teachers of philosophy and of mathematics.Princeton Foundations of Contemporary Philosophy Series. “This is an excellent introduction to the philosophy of mathematics, with clear and careful coverage of both traditional topics and cutting-edge contemporary debates.”—Roy T. Cook, University of Minnesota

PHILOSOPHYThe Spectre of Race: How Discrimination Haunts Western DemocracyMICHAEL GEORGE HANCHARDAs right-wing nationalism and authoritarian populism gain momentum across the world, liberals, and even some conservatives, worry that democratic principles are under threat. In The Spectre of Race over Democracy, Michael Hanchard argues that the current rise in xenophobia and racist rhetoric is nothing new and that exclusionary policies have always been central to democratic practices since their beginnings in classical times. Contending that democracy has never been for all people, Hanchard discusses how marginalization is reinforced in modern politics, and why these contradictions need to be fully examined if the dynamics of democracy are to be truly understood.“No one has contributed more to our comparative understanding of race and racial politics than Michael Hanchard, and The Spectre of Race may be his most ambitious book yet. In it, he advances the provocative claim that racism and discrimination are foundational to Western democracy. Anyone interested in comparative politics or democratic theory will want to read this book.”—Doug McAdam, coauthor of Deeply Divided: Racial Politics and Social Movements in Postwar America


POLITICS Boxing Pandora: Rethinking Borders, States, and Secession in a Democratic WorldTIMOTHY WILLIAM WATERSThe inviolability of national borders is an unquestioned pillar of the post–World War II international order. Fixed borders are believed to encourage stability, promote pluralism, and discourage nationalism and intolerance. But do they? What if fixed borders create more problems than they solve, and what if permitting borders to change would create more stability and produce more just societies? Legal scholar Timothy Waters examines this possibility, showing how we arrived at a system of rigidly bordered states and how the real danger to peace is not the desire of people to form new states but the capacity of existing states to resist that desire, even with violence.“Tim Waters’ book is truly audacious, offering a full-throated—and fully thought out—defense of what might be termed secession-at-will. The book merits discussion, especially as secessionist movements around the world become more significant.”—Sanford Levinson, author of An Argument Open to All: Reading The Federalist in the 21st Century


The Cash Ceiling: Why Only the Rich Run for Office - and What We Can Do About ItNICHOLAS CARNESWhy are Americans governed by the rich? Millionaires make up only three percent of the public but control all three branches of the federal government. How did this happen? What stops lower-income and working class Americans from becoming politicians? The first book to answer these urgent questions, The Cash Ceiling provides a compelling and comprehensive account of why so few people who aren’t rich hold office—and what reformers can do about it. 43 black and white illustrations and 15 tables.Princeton Studies in Political Behavior Series.“Timely, informative, engaging, and persuasive, this excellent book addresses critical questions about representation and inequality—and offers potential solutions to the problems it identifies.”—Jennifer Lawless, coauthor of Women, Men & U.S. Politics

Cosmopolitan Dystopia: International intervention and the failure of the WestPHILIP CUNLIFFECosmopolitan Dystopia shows that rather than populists or authoritarian great powers, it is cosmopolitan liberals who have done the most to subvert the liberal international order. This book explains how liberal cosmopolitanism has led us to treat new humanitarian crises as unprecedented demands for military action, thereby trapping us in a loop of endless war. Attempts to normalize humanitarian emergency through the doctrine of the ‘responsibility to protect’ has made for a paternalist understanding of state power that undercuts the representative functions of state sovereignty. The legacy of liberal intervention is a cosmopolitan dystopia of permanent war, insurrection by cosmopolitan jihadis and a new authoritarian vision of sovereignty in which states are responsible for their peoples rather than responsible to them.

Manipulated: Inside the Cyberwar to Hijack Elections and Distort the TruthTHERESA PAYTONCybersecurity expert Theresa Payton tells battlefront stories from the global war being conducted through clicks, swipes, internet access, technical backdoors and massive espionage schemes. She investigates the cyberwarriors who are planning tomorrow’s attacks, weaving a fascinating yet bone-chilling tale of Artificial Intelligent mutations carrying out attacks without human intervention, “deepfake” videos that look real to the naked eye, and chatbots that beget other chatbots. Payton offers readers telltale signs that their most fundamental beliefs are being meddled with and actions they can take or demand that corporations and elected officials must take before it is too late. “Theresa Payton has dedicated her life’s work to the mission of protecting others and pushing for pragmatic solutions. Manipulated is entertaining, informative, in some cases, even scary and downright shocking. A must-read, it serves as a wake-up call for all of us.”—Mary Ann Miller, Fraud Strategy Leader at Varo, industry fraud expert and thought leader

The Political Writings: “Political Regime” and “Summary of Plato’s Laws”ALFARABIAlfarabi (ca. 870–950) founded the great tradition of Aristotelian/Platonic political philosophy in medieval Islamic and Arabic culture. In this second volume of political writings, Charles E. Butterworth presents translations of Alfarabi’s Political Regime and Summary of Plato’s “Laws,” accompanied by introductions that discuss the background for each work and explore its teaching. In addition, the texts are carefully annotated to aid the reader in following Alfarabi’s argument. An Arabic-English/English-Arabic glossary allows interested readers to verify the way particular words are translated. Throughout, Butterworth’s method is to translate consistently the same Arabic word by the same English word, rendering Alfarabi’s style in an unusually faithful and yet approachable manner.Agora Editions Series.

Applied Statistics I: Basic Bivariate Techniques 3edREBECCA M. WARNERApplied Statistics I: Basic Bivariate Techniques has been created from the first half of the popular Applied Statistics: From Bivariate Through Multivariate Techniques. The author’s contemporary approach differs from some of the well-worn texts in the market, and reflects current thinking in the field. It spends less time on statistical significance testing, and moves in the direction of the “new statistics” by focusing more on confidence intervals and effect size. Instructors of upper undergraduate or beginning graduate level courses will find that the greater focus on basic concepts such as partition of variance and effect size is more useful to students, particularly as preparation for more advanced courses.
