Pandemic Medicine: Why the Global Innovation System Is Broken,and How We Can Fix ItKathryn C. Ibata-Arens

“Ibata-Arens’s accessibly written, and timely, book offers a compelling argument: that profit- and patent-driven drug devel-opment must be replaced by a global system of sharing innovation commons, includingthose harvested from nature. Short of this transformation, pandemics may become morecommon than we currently imagine!” —Anthony P. D’Costa, University of Alabama in Huntsville

D espite a century of advances in modern medicine, as well as the rapid developmentof Covid vaccines, the global pharmaceutical industry has largely failed to bring to

market drugs that actually cure disease. Why? And looking further ... How can gov-ernment policies stimulate investment in the development of curative drugs? Is therean untapped potential for “natural medicines” in new drug discovery? How have pri-vate–public sector partnerships transformed the ways we innovate? To what extent aremedicinal plant biodiversity and human health codependent?Addressing this range of increasingly critical questions, Kathryn Ibata-Arens ana-

lyzes the rise and decline of the global innovation system for new drug developmentand proposes a policy framework for fast-tracking the implementation of new discov-eries and preparing for future pandemics.Kathryn C. Ibata-Arens is Vincent de Paul Professor of Political Economy at

DePaul University.

A s countries around the world find themselves grapplingwith sociotechnological shifts—the Fourth Industrial

Revolution—science, technology, and innovation policy(STI) is at the intersection of local and global challenges. The

authors of Innovation Policy at the Intersection call for a comprehensive rethinking ofSTI policy in order to meet those challenges. Highlighting the experiences of a broadspectrum of countries around the world, they identify the need for a coherent, systemicapproach that brings together the global and the local, the theoretical and the practical.

Introducing Global IssuesMichael T. Snarr and D. Neil Snarr, editors

Praise for the previous editions:

“Since I began assigning Introducing Global Issues, my studentshave been much more involved in the course.... A valuableresource.” —Jeffrey P. Blick, Georgia College and State University

“A balanced, in-depth introduction to the intertwined nature of modern global issues.”—Ralph G. Carter, Texas Christian University

T he half-decade since the 6th edition of Introducing Global Issues appeared has seenenormous changes in the international arena, perhaps most notably a move away

from multilateral approaches to solving global problems—climate change, the covidpandemic, conflict-driven migration, and more. Both the impact of those changes andpossible paths to collaborative problem solving are at the center of this new, fullyrevised and updated edition of the text. The material has been successfully designed for readers with little or no prior

knowledge of the topics covered. Each chapter provides an analytical overview of theissue addressed, identifies central actors and perspectives, and outlines past progressand future prospects. Discussion questions are posed to enhance students’ apprecia-tion of the complexities involved, and suggestions for further reading additionallyenrich the text.Michael T.

Illicit Money: Financing Terrorism in the Twenty-First CenturyJessica Davis

“An important contribution…. Davis systematically and holisti-cally lays out all of the components of terrorism financing andprovides ample examples of each.” —Michael Freeman,

Naval Postgraduate School

T errorists need money ... to recruit and train people, to buy weapons, to maintainsafe houses, to carry out attacks. Which raises the question: how do they procure andprotect funds to finance their operations? In Illicit Money, Jessica Davis thoroughlyanswers that question.Davis explores the full spectrum of terrorist finance, drawing on extensive case

studies to dissect how individuals, cells, and organizations raise and manage, as wellas hide, funds. In her concluding chapters, she considers both opportunities and chal-lenges related to countering these illicit activities.Jessica Davis is president and principal consultant at Insight Threat Intelligence,

O nce impassable and inhospitable, both the Arctic region and Antarctica are rapidlyemerging as geopolitically strategic hot spots. As Ryan Burke writes in The Polar

As he explores the nature of that impact, Shiraishi highlights the diversity ofAsia and the national strategies that have resulted from these differences. One keyquestion that he addresses: What accounts for the divide between the maritime statesand the countries of mainland Asia?Shiraishi’s incisive analysis, combining a discussion of international relations with

a consideration of Asia’s varying political cultures, sheds light on current affairs inthe vast region from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean and beyond.Shiraishi Takashi is chancellor of the Prefectural University of Kumamoto and also

Banning the Bomb: The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear WeaponsJean Krasno and Elisabeth Szeli

F rustrated by the abrogation of promises by nuclearweapons states to disarm, countries that have foregone

nuclear weapons joined forces with key members of civil society in efforts that culminated in the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).How did this initiative succeed—in defiance of the major powers—in changing

the discourse around nuclear weapons? What roles did the various actors play, andhow did the language of the treaty evolve? Answering these questions, Jean Krasnoand Elisabeth Szeli provide a deeply researched account of the TPNW campaign, thenegotiations, and the ongoing challenges of ratification and implementation.Jean Krasno is tenured lecturer and director of the MA Program in International

US Democracy Promotion in the Arab World: Beyond Interests vs. IdealsMieczysław P. Boduszynski

“A fascinating read.... this book is certainly an original work of scholarship,which carefully delineates the policy making process in US democracy promotion between 2011 and 2019. It is an important contribution.”

—Zerrin Torun, Democratization

“[An] inside look into the intricate policy process that many scholars tend to neglect.”—Gregory Aftandilian, Middle East Journal

W hether democracy promotion should play arole in US foreign policy continues to be a

subject of considerable debate, perhaps nowheremore than with regard to the Arab World. Butlooking beyond the “whether,” what explainswhy, where, and how the United States promotesdemocracy? What caused the shift from theObama administration’s support of the ArabSpring protests in 2011 to its retreat fromdemocracy promotion only two years later?What explains the Trump administration’s focuson relationships with autocrats?

In the context of these questions, MieczysławBoduszyński explores the tensions betweeninterests and ideals in US foreign policy and

the possibilities and limits of US democracypromotion in a region where Washington hasoften supported autocracy over freedom.

Mieczysław P. Boduszyński is associate professor of politics and international relationsat Pomona College.

Making US Foreign Policy: The EssentialsRalph G. Carter

“There are numerous US foreign policy textbooks on the market,but this one is my favorite. It tells you everything you need toknow about the actors and factors [involved], in less than 300

pages! If you are interested in US foreign policy, do not look further ... get this book now.”—Frédérick Gagnon, University of Quebec at Montreal

“A terrific overview of the key drivers, actors, processes, and outputs of US foreign policy.Carter distills a vast amount of knowledge into a highly readable text that is brought tolife by numerous case studies and contemporary examples. His book will be an excellentfoundational text for courses, and a valuable reference point for foreign policy scholars.”

—Jordan Tama, American University

“The second edition is even better than its outstanding predecessor.... Readers will findthe clear, analytical exposition offered here to be the best available on the subject.”

—Patrick James, University of Southern California

“Ralph Carter has achieved what I formerly considered impossible: an engaging and concise primer on US foreign policy that also serves as an introduction to foreign policyanalysis and touches on the major schools of IR theory. I’m sure this text will become astandard.” —Valerie Hudson, Texas A&M University

W hether your approach to teaching US foreign policy is thematic, historical, case-study oriented, regional, or perhaps a blend of several approaches, Making US

Foreign Policy is likely to be a text that you will want to assign as required reading.The text focuses on the most fundamental questions: Who makes foreign policy

decisions? How? What accounts for particular decisions? At the same time, discussionsof current examples—responses to Russian interference in US elections, the travel bantargeting Muslim-majority countries, the Trump administration’s immigration policies,reactions to the murder of Saudi journalist and US resident Jamal Khashoggi, andmany more—make the topic “real.” Clear, concise, and reasonably priced, this is the book that will provide your students

with a solid understanding of, and interest in, the process by which foreign policy ismade in the current environment and the full range of actors involved.Ralph G. Carter is Piper Professor of Texas and professor of political science at

Texas Christian University.

Comparative Politics: Exploring Concepts and Institutions Across NationsGregory S. Mahler


“This is the quintessential introduction to comparative politics. It provides a sophisticatedfoundation of institutional analysis, respects historical influences, and above all, carefullyfocuses on the key mechanisms that drive politics in the contemporary world.”

—Gerhard Peters, Citrus College

“Clearly written and intelligently organized, this is a comprehensive and well-informedoverview of the structures and actors at the center of politics in countries around theworld. It is a perfect text for introductory courses in comparative politics!”

—Mark Tessler, University of Michigan

Among the many tools available for teaching comparative politics, GregoryMahler’s text stands out for its unique exploration of concepts, structures, and

illustrative cases.The first part of the book, after setting the stage with a discussion of comparison as a

method of inquiry, focuses on the core institutions that affect politics within nations, aswell as on political behavior and civil society. In Part 2, those same topics are systemati-cally revisited as they interact in the context of nine detailed, up-to-date country studies.This well-integrated, cross-national, and accessible approach serves perfectly to

provide students with the tools and perspectives that they need to better understandthe diverse political systems of today’s world.Gregory S. Mahler is academic dean emeritus and research professor of politics at

The Corruption Debates: Left vs. Right—and Does It Matter—in the Americas Stephen D. Morris

“A provocative analysis of the contentious politics of corruptionand reform, raising fundamental questions of power and justice....The contemporary anticorruption industry would benefit from rethinking the theoreticaland political challenges raised in this book.” —Michael Johnston, Colgate University

“Offers a breath of fresh air for the study of a critical issue.” —David Arellano-Gault, CIDE

W hile there is arguably universal agreement that corruption plagues countries world-wide, do we agree as well on what corruption is and how to fight it? Do the left

and right on the political spectrum hold conflicting views on the issue? Is there a dif-ference in how successful left vs. right governments are in curbing corruption? Theseare the questions that inspired The Corruption Debates.Stephen Morris explores left and right anticorruption ideologies broadly, then turns

to promises, policies, and outcomes in the Americas. He also reaches beyond differ-ences rooted in left/right dichotomies to develop an alternative hypothesis, onereflecting an in-power vs. out-of-power dynamic. His book captures the inherentlypolitical nature of not only corruption, but, equally, our understanding of it. Stephen D. Morris is professor of political science and international relations

at Middle Tennessee State University and adjoint professor in the Center for LatinAmerican Studies at Vanderbilt University.

Education and the Future of Latin AmericaAlejandro Toledo Manrique

“Toledo guides the reader through a comprehensive and compelling presentation of key issues, challenges, and cases....Combining scholarly research with powerful personal reflec-tions, this book is an important resource for any student orscholar of comparative education, education in Latin America, or political and educational leadership.” —Thomas Luschei, Claremont Graduate University

“Toledo has managed in one book to synthesize the myriad challenges Latin Americafaces in improving its educational systems and the realistic, evidenced-based policiesneeded to overcome them. This is a must read for both those studying Latin America andpolicymakers in the region.” —Martin Carnoy, Stanford University

W hat will it take to overcome the many challenges that Latin America faces indeveloping quality, inclusive education for its diverse population? That is the

question at the heart of Alejandro Toledo’s new book.Toledo begins from the premise that the uneven caliber of schools and universities

in the region is only part of the problem. Drawing on his own childhood experiencesliving in deep poverty, he addresses the inequalities in health care, the large pocketsof economic deprivation, and the discrimination against Indigenous peoples that continue to characterize Latin American societies—and to negatively affect studentlearning. He also takes a hard look at teacher competence, the harsh conditions ofrural education, and the pitfalls of privatizing higher education. His examples of successes, and his call for sustained political leadership in reforming education, areboth realistic and refreshingly candid.Alejandro Toledo Manrique, former president of Peru (2001–2006), is now presi-

dent of the Global Center for Development and Democracy.

period, a history that, in his words, “exemplifiesthe horrific damage that can result when a mod-ern nation-state goes off course.”Kitaoka Shinichi is president of the Japan

The Rise of China’s Industrial Policy,1978 to 2020Barry Naughton

C an China’s remarkable, rapid emergence as a large economyand technological power be attributed to specific policies,

and more generally to a Chinese program of industrial policy?More simply put: What is it that China has done right? Thisis the fundamental question that Barry Naughton addresses in his extended essay.Disentangling the threads of China’s industrial policies since 1978, Naughton argues

that a distinctive, “government-steered market economy,” a term articulated by thecountry’s policymakers, is indeed taking shape and warrants serious consideration as anew type of economic system—one that has ramifications far beyond China’s borders.Barry Naughton is So Kwanlok Professor in the School of Global Policy and

Taiwan: The Development of an Asian Tiger Hans Stockton and Yao-Yuan Yeh, editors

“This book reminds us of the long road Taiwan took—enduringmany years of social and political repression—to become thewealthy exemplar of representative governance we see today....The authors masterfully unpack the nuanced causal mechanismsbehind this development journey in a very readable fashion.”

—Marc Marmino, Asian Affairs

H ow did Taiwan transform itself from a “least developed country” into an AsianTiger? How did it become a successful, multiparty democracy after years of author-

itarian rule? Why do its relations with China and the US remain critical? The authors address these questions as they assess Taiwan’s trajectory since 1949 in

the political, economic, and social spheres. They also consider the challenges the countryfaces as it seeks to maintain its status and sustain growth despite internal struggles, risingtensions with Beijing, and declining international diplomatic recognition.Hans Stockton is director of the Center for International Studies (CIS), founding

Changing Saudi Arabia: Art, Culture, and Society in the Kingdom Sean Foley

“A fascinating and multi-layered exploration of art and culturein the kingdom.... Changing Saudi Arabia is an important book.”

—Caroline Montagu, Asian Affairs

“Helps illustrate that the Kingdom has a vibrant cultural scene and cannot be reduced,nor properly understood, by simply focusing on the hoary themes of royals, oil and Islam.”

—Bernard Haykel, Middle East Journal

T.E. Lawrence once observed that Saudi Arabia had “so little art” that it could “besaid to have no art at all.” Whether that was once the case is arguable. Butthat it is not the case now is clear in Sean Foley’s Changing Saudi Arabia. Exploring the contemporary arts movement in Saudi Arabia in the context of the

kingdom’s changing political realities, Foley finds that artists are expressing thoughtsand feelings that the Saudi public typically has not felt safe to articulate. These artistsare promoting discussions about the need for peaceful and progressive socialreform—and they are doing it in ways that escape the wrath of the absolute monar-chy. Without confronting the state or the political system, Foley argues, Saudi societyis exercising significant agency through its cultural production.Sean Foley is professor of history at Middle Tennessee State University.

The Political Economy of Education in the Arab WorldHicham Alaoui and Robert Springborg, editors

“Well researched and timely, this diverse analysis of educationaldynamics and problems in the Arab World covers lots of newground.” —Pete W. Moore, Case Western Reserve University

D espite substantial spending on education and robust support for reform both inter-nally and by external donors, the quality of education in many, if not most, Arab

countries remains low. Which raises the question: why?The authors of The Political Economy of Education in the Arab World find answers

in the authoritarian political economies that shape the architecture of national gover-nance across the region. Presenting studies from North Africa and the Gulf region, aswell as comparative perspectives from Asia and Latin America, they show clearly thatefforts to improve education—and thereby enhance economic development andbroaden the base of citizenship on which more stable and effective systems of gover-nance can be built—will fail until ruling elites are no longer able to increase theirpolitical and economic power at the expense of the greater good.Hicham Alaoui is research associate at the Weatherhead Center for International

Isolating Qatar: The Gulf Rift, 2017–2021Edward A. Lynch

“Amid a plethora of recent publications on Qatar, this book standsout for its depth, insight, and thorough analysis of a definingdiplomatic development that rocked the Gulf CooperationCouncil.... Highly recommended.” —Mehran Kamrava,

Georgetown University Qatar

I n June 2017, Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE announced a comprehen-sive boycott of Qatar. Diplomatic ties were severed, trade was banned, and airspacewas closed. Qatari nationals were expelled from all four countries. It seemed that dis-aster loomed for this small Gulf nation. But not so. Instead, in an unexpected turn ofevents, the Qatari government deftly used its enormous wealth and extensive reservesof soft power to nullify most of the effects of what came to be known as the Rift.Edward Lynch tells the story of the Gulf Rift from start to finish. Exploring the

historical and contemporary causes of the dispute, the reactions to it both regionallyand globally, and the surprising end to the crisis, his work serves also to highlight theoften unrecognized role of small states in international relations.Edward A. Lynch is professor of political science at Hollins University.

Making Institutions Work in South AfricaDaniel Plaatjies, editor

“Timely, opportune, and pertinent. [The authors] interrogate a very critical and rudimentary global governance theme ... in a South African context.” —Purshottama Sivanarain Reddy,

University of KwaZulu-Natal

M aking Institutions Work in South Africa places the structuresand processes of institutionalization at the center of debates

about democracy, state, and society in South Africa.As they explore the factors that facilitate, and those that impede, strong, well-

functioning institutions, the contributors share three core assumptions: institutions arethe pillars of a constitutional democracy; they evolve through the actions of people(agency); and they form structures of dynamic, shared social patterns of behaviorthrough the implementation of the rule of law.The late Daniel Plaatjies was chair of South Africa’s Financial and Fiscal

Commission. He previously served as head of the Graduate School of Governance,University of the Witwatersrand.

Ethics, Politics, Inequality: New DirectionsNarnia Bohler-Muller, Crain Soudien, and Vasu Reddy, editors

M ultilayered inequalities and a sense of insecurity havelong been hallmarks of South African life—but now have

been exacerbated by the uncertainties of Covid-19. Ethics,Policy, Inequality reflects on a range of political and socio-

economic interventions, based on an ethics of care, needed to help South Africansnavigate the roiling currents of the “new normal.”This latest volume in the State of the Nation series calls for active citizenship and

the will and understanding to combat poverty and inequality, which in turn wouldbring a reconsideration of the domination, oppression, injustice, and paternalism within the democratic postapartheid state.Narnia Bohler-Muller is divisional executive of the Developmental, Capable, and

Ethical State research program at the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and also adjunct professor in the School of Law at the University of Fort Hare. CrainSoudien is CEO of HSRC. Vasu Reddy is professor of sociology and dean of theFaculty of Humanities at the University of Pretoria.

Africa’s Totalitarian Temptation: The Evolution of Autocratic RegimesDave Peterson

“Lucidly written and cogently argued, this book skillfully weaves togetherrich analyses of the differing autocratic regimes that have endured on theAfrican continent in the wake of the democratization wave of the 1990s.”

—Moses Khisa, North Carolina State University

D isappointment with the ability of democracyto deliver economic rewards in much of

Africa—and with the persistence of instability,corruption, and poor governance in democraticregimes—has undermined democracy’s appealfor many on the continent. At the same time,many external actors are expressing sympathyfor regimes that have demonstrated an ability toimpose stability and deliver economic growth,despite the limits placed on their citizens’ freedom.

In this context, Dave Peterson asks: Is totalitar-ianism emerging as an acceptable alternative todemocracy in Africa? And if so, with what con-sequences? Peterson draws on extensive researchin countries across the continent to thoroughlyexplore the dilemma of the totalitarian temptation.

Dave Peterson is senior director of theAfrica Program at the National Endowment for Democracy.

The Puzzle of Ethiopian PoliticsTerrence Lyons

“Extensively detailed and clearly written.... [An] important book.”—Choice

“An eminently readable and accessible overview of the subject.”—Tom Gardner, Foreign Policy

H ow did a group with its origins in a smallMarxist-Leninist insurgency in northern

Ethiopia transform itself into a party (the EPRDF)with eight million members and a hierarchy thatlinks even the smallest Ethiopian village to thecenter? How do the legacies of protracted civilwar and rebel victory over the brutal Derg regimecontinue to shape contemporary Ethiopian poli-tics? And can the EPRDF, after widespreadprotests and a state of emergency, transform itselfunder new leadership to meet popular demands?

Answering these questions in his comprehen-sive study of nearly three decades of Ethiopianpolitics, Terrence Lyons argues that the very

structures that enabled the ruling party to over-come the challenges of a war-to-peace transitionare the source of the challenges that it facesnow. While the new political leadership haspromised dramatic reforms, Lyons observes, the powerful authoritarian ruling party remainsin place, unreconstructed.Terrence Lyons is associate professor of

conflict resolution at George Mason University.

Adventures in Zambian Politics: A Story in Black and WhiteGuy Scott

“This excellent book is a revealing account of ... African politics from the inside. It is also a splendid rebuke to those (far from absent in the academy, as elsewhere) who are content or even eager to settle for tabloid understandings of African politicians.” —Calum Fisher, Africa

“[A] riveting insider account of the workings of Zambian politics.”—Publishers Weekly

“A remarkably frank insider’s account of a unique political partnership.... Guy Scott’sthemes range from derring-do on the campaign trail, to Keynesian economics, bare-knucklesbackstage maneuvering, the blight of AIDS, and the complex web of forces that conspireagainst reform in his native Zambia and many other parts of Africa.” —Alan Cowell,

former foreign correspondent, New York Times, and author of Killing the Wizards

A s Miles Larmer writes in the foreword to this book, Adventures in Zambian Politicsis unlike any political memoir you have ever read.It is ... A political history of Zambia from colonial times to the present. A revealing

insider account of politics and government within a modern African state. A storyabout race in Africa. A chronicle of the rise and fall of two improbable political allieswho wanted to change Zambian politics: Michael Sata, whose convoluted politicalcareer led him to become president in 2011, and Guy Scott, Sata’s vice president and,after Sata’s death, acting president of Zambia. Not least, it is a pleasure to read.Guy Scott’s absorbing narrative of his career and Michael Sata’s in the chaotic

world of African politics tells a uniquely Zambian story. But it is also a special contri-bution to our understanding of democracy and democratization across Africa.Guy Scott was acting president of Zambia after the death of President Michael

Sata. Prior to that he was vice president (2011–2014) and had also served as ministerof agriculture and an opposition leader in the Zambian parliament.
