The Thistle and the DroneHow America’s War on Terror Became a Global Waron Tribal Islam

Akbar Ahmed

The United States declared war on terrorism in the wake o the 9/11 attacks.

More than ten years later, the results are decidedly mixed. In The Thistle and

the Drone, world-renowned author, diplomat, and scholar Akbar Ahmed

reveals a tremendously important yet largely unrecognized adverse eect o these

campaigns: they actually have exacerbated the already-broken relationship between

central governments and the tribal societies on their periphery.

Ideas o a clash o civilizations, “security,” and “terrorism” have dominated the last

decade, upsetting the balance between central governments and their periphery in

much o the world.

Ahmed draws on sixty current case studies or this unprecedented analysis, begin-

ning with Waziristan in Pakistan and expanding to similar societies in Central Asia, the

Middle East, North Arica, and elsewhere to oer an alternative paradigm. The United

States is directly or indirectly involved with many o these societies. Al Qaeda has

been decimated, but the world is driting into a global war where the ocus has shited

to these peripheral societies. Old ethnic and tribal tensions have been revived. No one

is immune to the violence—neither school children nor congregations in their houses

o worship. People on the periphery say, “Every day is 9/11 or us.”

The thistle o the title evokes Hadji Murad , Tolstoy’s classic novel about the struggle

between the Imperial Russian army and the independent Muslim states in the

Caucasus. The local tribesman with his courage, pride, and sense o egalitarianismis the prickly thistle; the drone reerence, as the most advanced kill technology o

globalization, is painully clear. Together these two powerul metaphors paint a bleak

landscape o conusion, uncertainty, violence, and loss. The book provides concrete

ways to minimize conlict and still win the war on terror.

Praise for the work of Akbar Ahmed

“Readers [of Journey into America] unfamiliar with Islam will walk away with a much firmer grasp of its

nuances, and everyone will likely learn a great deal about American self-perception.”

—Publishers Weekly

“ Journey into America is a brilliant follow-up to Journey into Islam.”

—Colonel David Kilcullen, The Accidental Guerilla

“Akbar Ahmed's voice needs to be heard, and his courage strengthened.”

—Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Laureate

Akbar Ahmed is the Ibn Kahldun Chair o Islamic Studies at American University in Washington, D.C.

He is also the irst Distinguished Chair o Middle East Studies at the U.S. Naval Academy, a nonresi-

Why Nuclear Arms ControlIs Still Important

Steven Pifer and Michael E. O’Hanlon

For some observers, nuclear arms control is either a relic o the cold war, or a

utopian dream about a denuclearized planet decades in the uture. But in act,

as Brookings scholars Steven Pier and Michael O’Hanlon argue in a new book,

it is o major relevance to some o the key and urgent security challenges o the day.

Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan dominate the nuclear headlines, and policymakers

constantly try to ind the right mix o sanctions, incentives, arms control options, and

in some cases, even threats o military orce to address the problems. Eorts led by

the Obama administration to pressure Iran not to enrich uranium, North Korea not to

test more devices, or Pakistan to slow its arms racing depend on international consen-

sus about nuclear nonprolieration, nuclear testing, and nuclear weapons reductions.

Then there is Russia. It remains America’s chie partner on nuclear arms negotia-

tions, and also a rival in other ways. The Obama administration has had some

success in improving U.S.-Russian relations by returning to classic arms control,

including the New START Treaty. Those improved relations in turn made it easier to

get Moscow to pressure Iran over its nuclear program (and to supply NATO orces

in Aghanistan through the so-called Northern Distribution Network rather than

just Pakistan). But U.S.-Russian relations remain complex, Moscow is opposed to

American plans or missile deense in Europe, and it is not clear how eager Russia is

or any urther nuclear arms cuts given its reliance on weapons o mass destruction

to protect its long borders.

What is the uture o nuclear arms control or the next American president, be ita reelected Barack Obama or a newly elected Mitt Romney? Can there be another

major U.S.-Russia arms treaty? Can all the tactical and surplus warheads that have

so ar escaped controls be brought into such a ramework? Can a modus vivendi

be reached between the two states on missile deense? And what o multilateral

accords on nuclear testing and production o issile materials or nuclear weapons?

Pier and O’Hanlon concisely rame the issues, the circumstances, and the choices

or a uture president and oer their own recommendations as well.

Steen Pifer is a senior ellow in the Foreign Policy program and the Center or the United States

and Europe at Brookings, where he is director o the Brookings Arm Control Initiative. He spent mor

than twenty-ive years as a career Foreign Service oicer with the U.S. State Department, including

three years as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine (1998–2000). Michael E. O’Hanlon is a senior ellow and

director o research in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution, where he holds the Sydney SteinJr. Chair in International Security. He has numerous books to his credit, including Bending History:

The Foreign Policy of Barack Obama, written with Martin Indyk and Kenneth Lieberthal (Brookings,

2012), and The Science of War (Princeton, 2009).

Mr. PutinOperative in the Kremlin

Fiona Hill and Clifford G. Gaddy

Who is Vladimir Putin? As Russia’s dominant political igure or more

than a decade, observers have variously described him as a “man rom

nowhere”—a man with no ace, substance, or soul. Like the English

cartoon character Mr. Benn, Mr. Putin constantly assumes new guises—his public

relations team has orchestrated his images as big-game hunter to scuba diver, rom

biker to nightclub crooner. But in this book, Russia experts Fiona Hill and Cliord

Gaddy reveal Putin as a man o many and complex identities, a man more intricate

and multiaceted than he wants the world to believe he is.

Drawing on many sources, including their own personal encounters, Hill and Gaddy

argue that there are, in act, several “real” Putins. His outlook has been shapedby many inluences—his early lie, a close reading o Russian history and litera-

ture, his KGB training, his time in East Germany, his experiences in St. Petersburg

in the 1990s, his irst role in Moscow as the “operative” brought in rom outside

to help control Russia’s oligarchs, and his time at the helm o the Russian state.

Understanding Putin’s multidimensional nature is essential or policymakers trying

to decide how to approach and interact with him. The eort to grasp such an evasive

igure makes or ascinating reading.

While uncovering the many real identities o Putin, the authors concentrate on six

essential ones: Putin the Statist, the History Man, the Survivalist, the Outsider, the

“Free Marketeer,” and the Case Oicer. They explain what each identity is, its evolu-

tion, and its signiicance or understanding the Russian leader. Hill and Gaddy also

examine the nature o the political system Putin has built, explaining it as a logical

result o these identities.

Vladimir Putin has an idealized view o himsel as CEO o “Russia, Inc.” But he has not

been leading a transparent public corporation; rather, he runs a closed boardroom in a

privately held corporation, not answerable to shareholders. The system is personalized

and inormal; “persuasion” comes by way o threats rather than incentives. But now

that his corporation seems to be in crisis, with political protests marking Mr. Putin’s

return to the presidency in 2012, will the CEO be held accountable or its ailings?

Fiona Hill is director o the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution,

where she is the Stephen and Barbara Friedman Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy. From 2006 to

2009, she served as the national intelligence oicer or Russia and Eurasia at the U.S. National

Intelligence Council. Clifford G. Gadd, an economist specializing in Russia, is a senior ellow in theForeign Policy and Global Economy and Development programs at Brookings. Hill and Gaddy are

coauthors o The Siberian Curse (Brookings, 2003).

Uncharted StraitThe Future o China-Taiwan Relations

Richard C. Bush

The uture o the Taiwan Strait is more wide open than at any other time in

recent decades. Tensions between China and Taiwan have eased since 2008,

but the movement toward ull rapprochement remains ragile. Whether the

two sides o the Strait can sustain and expand a cooperative relationship ater

decades o mutual distrust and ear is still uncertain.

In Uncharted Strait Richard Bush, who specialized in Taiwan issues during almost

twenty years in the U.S. government, explains the current state o relations between

China and Taiwan. He discusses what led to the current situation and then extrapo-

lates the likely uture o cross-Strait relations. Bush also explains America’s stake,

analyzing possible ramiications or U.S. interests in the critically important East Asiaregion as well as recommending steps to protect those interests.

Current engagement between Beijing and Taipei increases the likelihood o a

peaceul long-term solution to their six-decade dispute. Whether, when, and how

that might happen, however, is shrouded in uncertainty. The Taiwan Strait is now

uncharted water, and both shores worry about the shoals that may lurk below the

surace. China still ears the island’s permanent separation, either because it makes

an overt move to de jure independence or continues to reuse uniication on Beijing’s

terms. Taiwan ears subordination to an authoritarian regime, an adversary rom the

past that may not have its best interests at heart. And the United States ears insta-

bility in East Asia.

Star Spangled SecurityApplying Lessons Learned Over Six DecadesSaeguarding America

Harold Brown with Joyce Winslow

Former U.S. secretary o deense Harold Brown served during the hottest part o

the Cold War when the Soviet Union presented an existential threat to America.

In Star Spangled Security , Dr. Brown, one o the most respected wise men o

American oreign policy, gives an insider’s view o U.S. national security strategy

during the Carter administration, relates lessons learned, and bridges them to current

challenges acing America.

Brown describes his part in the SALT negotiations, the normalization o relations

with China, the Camp David Accords, the development o a new generation o bal-

listic missiles, and more. Drawing on his earlier years as the director o the LawrenceLivermore Laboratory, as director o deense research and engineering, as Air Force

secretary, and as president o Caltech, Brown uses his hard-won wisdom, especially

during the painul Iran hostage crisis, to oer speciic recommendations and key

questions to ponder as America copes with challenges in a turbulent world.

Highly readable, this book is or anyone wishing to better understand the debates

about deense and its budget, its eect on the entire economy and America’s rela-

tionship with allies during conlict and peace. Brown’s access to the leading orces in

national security over 60 years spans ive presidents, giving the reader entrée into

the inner circle o decisionmakers.

Since leaving public oice, Brown has served on the boards o directors o a

dozen corporations. His unique economic, military, research, university, and govern-ment experience—at the top o all institutions he served—makes his a voice well

worth heeding.

For example, he draws rom experience with the Camp David Accords to make rec-

ommendations on Israel and Iran. He uses America’s mistakes in Vietnam to illustrate

the policies to consider in Iraq and Aghanistan. He brings us up-to-date on China

and how its ambitions could lead to armed conlict with the U.S.

Dr. Harold Brown was the U.S. secretary o deense rom 1977 to 1981. Joce Winslow is a

Washington journalist and prize-winning iction author whose stories appear in the Best American

Short Story collection. She interviewed Brown over six months to distill his remarkable career into

a bridge or the uture.

Whatever Happened to the WashingtonReporters, 1978–2012

Stephen Hess

In 1981, Brookings published The Washington Reporters, the irst entry in Stephen

Hess’s Newswork series. Hess has come ull circle with this, the seventh and inal

Newswork title, in which he ollows up on the 450 reporters surveyed in 1978 or

the original book. Thirty-ive years is a long time, and a lot has changed. Hess ully

capitalizes on this unique opportunity to reveal a great deal about reporters, journal-

ism, and how we get our news.

This is not a “Class o ’78” in the sense o a group entering college together. The

respondents have an age spread o more than a hal-century. What they have in

common is that at a certain moment in time they all were based in Washington,

working or U.S. commercial news organizations, covering national government.The group includes a number o eminent journalists, including television reporters

such as Ted Koppel, Brit Hume, Marvin Kalb, and Judy Woodru. Others would leave

Washington to become the editors o such prestigious newspapers as the New York

Times, Chicago Tribune, and Los Angeles Times.

Whatever happened to . . .? To answer this question, Hess and his team tracked down

ninety percent o the original group, interviewing 283 or otherwise relying on obitu-

aries. How many stayed in journalism? Did they rise in their organizations? Change

jobs? Move rom reporter to editor? Did they jump rom one medium to another?

Did they remain in Washington? How many let journalism altogether?

The book is designed as a series o discrete, sel-contained essays, each concentrating

on a certain characteristic, such as age or gender or race or place o employment (e.g.the New York Times and television networks). In addition to being lively and ascinating

in their own right, the updated proiles provide unique insights into the career pat-

terns o proessional journalists, a subject surrounded by considerable misinormation.

Hess concludes with a chapter that measures journalism’s dropout rate—those who

leave sooner rather than later; those who leave journalism in mid-career; and those

who are lietime journalists. Why do some leave and others stay? The results dier

markedly rom what journalists and sociologists told us to expect.

Stephen Hess is a senior ellow emeritus in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution and

ormerly Distinguished Research Proessor o Media and Public Aairs at George Washington

University. He was a young speechwriter in the Eisenhower White House and returned to the White

House to work with Presidents Nixon and Carter. He also advised the presidential transition teams

o Reagan and Clinton. His numerous books include Through Their Eyes: Foreign Correspondents in

the United States (Brookings, 2005) and Organizing the Presidency , with James Piner (Brookings,

3d edition in 2002).

What So Proudly We HailedEssays on the Contemporary Meaning o the War o 1812

Pietro S. Nivola and Peter J. Kastor, eds.

With Congress divided along party lines, the U.S. government goes to war,

without adequately preparing either the means to inance the conlict or

the capabilities needed to achieve its aims. The executive branch suers

rom in-ighting. The military invades a oreign nation, expecting to be treated as

liberators. The entire endeavor winds down to a seemingly inconclusive ending.

Sound amiliar? This all started two hundred years ago.

What So Proudly We Hailed looks at the War o 1812 in part through the lens o

21st century America. On the bicentennial o that ormative yet misunderstood

period in American history, this provocative book asks, among other questions:

What did America learn—and what did it not learn—rom the experience? How didit help shape a nation?

By 2003, America was waging two wars at once, at vast expense. Neither was

inanced by tax increases, but instead with borrowed money—much like in 1812,

when the “Republican” party’s reluctance to use the government’s taxing power

led to expanded debt and inadequate unding or the war eort.

Partisan animosity in 1812 surpassed today’s rancor, teaching us the danger o hyper-

partisanship as well as the less obvious tendency o the party system to adapt and

realign: The Federalist-Republican competition that dominated early U.S. politics

dissipated in the war’s atermath. We take today’s partisan divide as a given, but in

time that too is likely to pass.

Contents

1. Pulitzer-winning historian Alan Taylor (The Civil War of 1812) examines the war’s

sectional tensions and the implications or American nationalism.

2. Historian Peter J. Kastor discusses how 1812–15 aected state-ederal relations.

3. Author Stephen Budiansky (Perilous Fight ) explores the military legacy.

4. Pietro Nivola assesses the keen partisan rivalry o the early 1800s and what it can

tell us about today’s strie.

5. Benjamin Wittes and Ritika Singh o Brookings investigate constitutional rictions,

particularly regarding presidential power and civil liberties.

Pietro S. Niola is a senior ellow at the Brookings Institution, where he holds the Douglas C. Dillon

Chair in Governance Studies. He coedited (with David Brady) both volumes o Red and Blue Nation

(Brookings/Hoover Institution, 2006 and 2008). Peter J. Kastor is an associate proessor o historyat Washington University in St. Louis. He is author o The Nation’s Crucible: The Louisiana Purchase

Education Governance for theTwenty-First CenturyOvercoming the Structural Barriers to School Reorm

Paul Manna and Patrick McGuinn, eds.

America’s ragmented, decentralized, politicized, and bureaucratic system o

education governance is a major impediment to school reorm. In this impor-

tant new book, a number o leading education scholars, analysts, and practi-

tioners show that understanding the impact o speciic policy changes in areas such as

standards, testing, teachers, or school choice requires careul analysis o the broader

governing arrangements that inluence their content, implementation, and impact.

Education Governance for the Twenty-First Century comprehensively assesses the

strengths and weaknesses o what remains o the old in education governance, scrutinizes

how traditional governance orms are changing, and suggests how governing arrange-ments might be urther altered to produce better educational outcomes or children.

Paul Manna, Patrick McGuinn, and their colleagues provide the analysis and alterna-

tives that will inorm attempts to adapt nineteenth and twentieth century gover-

nance structures to the new demands and opportunities o today.

State and Local PensionsWhat’s Next?

Alicia H. Munnell

In the wake o the inancial crisis and Great Recession, the health o state and

local pension plans has emerged as a ront burner policy issue. Elected oicials,

academic experts, and the media alike have pointed to unding shortalls with

alarm, expressing concern that pension promises are unsustainable or will squeeze

out other pressing government priorities. A ew local governments have even iled

or bankruptcy, with pensions cited as a major cause.

Alicia H. Munnell draws on both her practical experience and prior research to provide

a broad perspective on the challenge o state and local pensions. She shows that the

story is big and complicated and cannot be viewed through a narrow prism such as

accounting methods or the role o unions. By examining the diversity o the publicplan universe, Munnell debunks the notion that all plans are in trouble. In act, she

inds that, while a ew plans are basket cases, many are unctioning reasonably well.

The analysis concludes that the plans in serious trouble need a major overhaul. But

even the relatively healthy plans ace three challenges ahead: an excessive concen-

tration o plan assets in equities; the risk that steep beneit cuts or new hires will

harm workorce quality; and the constraints plans ace in adjusting uture beneits

or current employees. State and Local Pensions proposes solutions that preserve the

main strengths o state and local pensions while promoting needed reorms.

Confronting Suburban Poverty in America

Elizabeth Kneebone and Alan Berube

It has been nearly a hal century since President Lyndon Johnson declared his War

on Poverty, setting in motion development o America’s modern saety net. Back

in the 1960s, tackling poverty “in place” meant ocusing resources in the inner city

and in isolated rural areas. The suburbs were home to middle- and upper-class

amilies—aluent commuters and homeowners who did not want to raise kids in the

city. But the America o 2012 is a very dierent place. Poverty is no longer just an

urban or rural problem but increasingly a suburban one as well.

In Confronting Suburban Poverty in America, Elizabeth Kneebone and Alan Berube

take on the new reality o metropolitan poverty and opportunity in America. For

decades, suburbs added poor residents at a aster pace than cities, so that suburbia

is now home to more poor residents than central cities, composing over a third o

the nation’s total poor population. Unortunately, the antipoverty inrastructure built

over the past several decades does not it this rapidly changing geography. The

solution no longer its the problem. Kneebone and Berube explain the source and

impact o these important developments; moreover, they present innovative ideas

on addressing them.

The spread o suburban poverty has many causes, including job sprawl, shits in

aordable housing, population dynamics, immigration, and a struggling economy.

It raises a number o daunting challenges, such as the need or more (and better)

transportation options, services, and inancial resources. But necessity also produces

opportunity—in this case, the opportunity to rethink and modernize services, struc-

tures, and procedures so that they better relect and address new demands. This

book embraces that opportunity.

The authors put orward a series o workable recommendations or public, private,

and nonproit leaders seeking to modernize poverty alleviation and community

development strategies and connect residents with economic opportunity. They

describe and evaluate ongoing eorts in metro areas where local leaders are learning

how to do more with less and adjusting their approaches to address the metropoli-

tan scale o poverty—or example, collaborating across sectors and jurisdictions,

using data and technology in innovative ways, and integrating services and service

delivery. Kneebone and Berube combine clear prose, original thinking, and illustra-

tive graphics to paint a new picture o poverty in America as well as the best ways

to combat it.

Diversity ExplosionHow New Racial Demographics Are Remaking America

William H. Frey

Major racial and ethnic changes are sweeping the United States, monumental

shits that will leave deep ootprints or years. An aging white population is

juxtaposed with new minority groups showing robust growth, as Hispanic

and Asian groups now account or all the growth in the nation’s youth population. As

this younger multi-ethnic generation grows up, the nation’s labor orce and elector-

ate will be transormed.

In Diversity Explosion eminent demographer William Frey combines user-riendly

graphics and maps with authoritative yet accessible analysis to paint a detailed and

illuminating picture o where America’s racial demography is headed and what it

means or the nation’s uture.Traditional patterns have largely reversed. The Great Migration northward has been

replaced with a southward shit so signiicant that several northern and western

states are experiencing net losses in Arican American population, while that group’s

presence in the suburbs grows as never beore. The south, then, is becoming more

multi-ethnic as are America’s suburbs. While great change is aoot, however, it would

be overly simplistic to characterize the United States as a “melting pot in waiting.”

Although some racial lines are blurring, other race-and-space divisions persist.

For example, there exists a clear distinction between large, primarily coastal met-

ropolitan regions that have been mainstay communities or Hispanics and Asians

and more recent destinations where these groups are receiving a mixed reception.

Another important demographic subset is those slow-growing, aging, largely white

areas in the middle o the country where new minority presence remains small.

Drawing rom these generational and geographic shits, the book examines other

dimensions o race relations in America including neighborhood segregation, mixed-

race marriages, and the political ramiications in dierent parts o the country.

Government’s Greatest InvestigationsCongress, President, and the Search or Answers1945–2012

Paul C. Light

Presidential and congressional investigations are particularly powerul tools or

asking tough questions about highly visible, oten complex government break-

downs. In this insightul work, Paul Light, one o America’s premier authorities

on public service and management, provides a deep assessment o what he has

identiied as the ederal government’s one hundred most signiicant investigations

since World War II.

The indings and impact o Light’s top one hundred vary nearly as much as the range

o topics they covered, including communist iniltration o government and the Sputnik

launch during the 1950s, the Ku Klux Klan and Vietnam War during the 1960s; Watergateand Central Intelligence Agency abuses during the 1970s; the Social Security crisis,

Challenger disaster, and the Iran-Contra scheme during the 1980s; the back-to-back

sieges at Waco and Ruby Ridge and Bill Clinton’s impeachment in the 1990s; and the

9/11 attacks, collapse o Enron, and the inancial meltdown in the 2000s.

Government’s Greatest Investigations provides a deep history and analysis o

these investigations, providing rare insight into why some great investigations

succeeded, while others ailed, and what investigators can do to increase the

odds that their work will pay o in improved government perormance and more

eective public policy.

Inormed by a deep reading o investigatory histories, numerous interviews with leg-

islators, commission members, and leading scholars, as well as his own experienceand original research, Light undertakes his own search or answers to a long list o

questions about how each o these investigations perormed. Was the investiga-

tion visible and well led? Was it serious and thorough? Did it involve a particularly

controversial issue or a powerul public igure? Were investigators given enough

reedom to pursue their goals? Did they orge the bipartisanship so oten associated

with what he calls the “good investigation?” And most important, what are the most

important drivers o ultimate impact? Light’s analysis will inorm practitioners and

observers o government on what drives impact in the American system.

The Pursuit of HappinessAn Economy o Well-Being

Carol Graham

In The Pursuit of Happiness, Carol

Graham explores what we know

about the determinants o happiness

and clearly presents both the promise

and the potential pitalls o injecting

the “economics o happiness” into

public policymaking. While the book

spotlights the innovative contribu-

tions o happiness research to the

dismal science, it also raises a cau-

tionary note about the issues that still

need to be addressed beore policy-

makers can make best use o them.


“With great care and judgment, Graham clearly explains the complexities of

defining, measuring, and targeting happiness in economic policy while still

urging us to persevere. . . . A consummate work of scholarship.”

—Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University

“The book is well written and very accessible, and is immaculately researched,

avoiding bias and imbalance. . . . Far from being a ‘dismal science,’ Graham

provides much reason for optimism for those people involved in this bur-

geoning field of economics.”

—World Economics

“As acceptance of social science research on happiness continues to grow, a

new question has naturally surged to the fore: Should happiness be a goal of

public policy? In this eloquently written celebration of a new science, Carol

Graham provides valuable new insight into the pros and cons of this issue.”

—Richard A. Easterlin, university professor and professor of economics,

University of Southern California

“Since 1776 the ‘pursuit of happiness’ has been the great world question.

Here, reflecting on modern survey techniques and results, Carol Graham

drills deeper. . . . [She] is opening up a whole new frontier in economic

and social policy.”

Strife and ProgressPortolio Strategies or Managing Urban Schools

Paul T. Hill, Christine Campbell, and Betheny Gross

Deicient urban schooling remains one o America’s most

pressing—and stubborn—public policy problems. This impor-tant new book details and evaluates a radical and promising new

approach to K-12 education reorm. Strife and Progress explains

or a broad audience the “portolio strategy” or providing urban

education—its rationale, implementation, and results. Under the

portolio strategy, cities use anything that works, indierent to

whether schools are run by the public district or private entities.

It combines traditional modes o schooling with newer methods,

including chartering and experimentation with schools making

innovative use o people and technology. Urban districts try to

make themselves magnets or new talent, recruiting educators and

career switchers looking to make a dierence or poor children.

The portolio strategy creates interesting new bedellows: people

who think that government should oversee public education align

with those advocating choice, competition, and entrepreneurship

It cuts across political lines and engages city governments and

civic assets (e.g., philanthropies, businesses, universities) much

more deeply than earlier reorm initiatives. New York and New

Orleans were portolio pioneers, but the idea has spread rapidly

to cities as ar-lung as Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago.

Results have been mixed overall but generally positive in places

that implemented the strategy most aggressively. Reorm leaders

such as New York’s Joel Klein have been overly optimistic, how-

ever, assuming that the strategy’s merits would be so obvious

that careul assessment would be unnecessary. Serious policy

evaluation is still needed.

In the Name of JusticeStriving or the Rule o Law in China

He WeifangForeword by John L. Thornton

Introduction by Cheng Li

O all the issues sparked by China’s

transormation, development o

the legal system is arguably the most

consequential. The social unrest o

recent years and the growing ten-

sion between China’s interest groups

underscore the urgency o developing

a sound and sustainable legal system.

In the Name of Justice presents a

critical assessment o the state o

Chinese legal reorm by He Weiang,

the country’s leading liberal lawscholar. Proessor He has been at the

oreront o the country’s bumpy path toward justice and judicial

independence or more than a decade. In addition to presenting

a selection o Proessor He’s academic writings, this volume also

includes many o his public speeches, media interviews, and open

letters, providing urther insight into his dual roles as thinker and

practitioner in the Chinese legal world.

Among the volume’s many topics are judicial independence,

judicial review, legal education , capital punishment, and the legal

protection o ree speech and human rights. The author reviews

the evolution o Chinese traditional legal thought and compares

it to the path taken by other nations.

A proponent o reorm rather than revolution, He believes thatthe growing institutionalization o actional checks and bal-

ances within the Party leadership may represent important steps

toward democracy. In his view, only true constitutionalism can

guarantee social justice and enduring stability or China.

Crisis FederalismHow the Stimulus ReshapedFederal-State Relations

Tracy Gordon

The recession o 2007–09 wasthe most severe downturn in

U.S. economic perormance since

the Great Depression. Such a huge

problem triggered a huge response.

The American Recovery and

Reinvestment Act o 2009—a.k.a.

the Recovery Act or simply “the

stimulus”—injected more than $800

billion into the moribund economy.

Not surprisingly it remains hugely

controversial, but the law is not well

understood.

Crisis Federalism examines ARRA through the lens o iscal ed-eralism. The question o “who pays or what?” has bedeviled the

nation or centuries. Tracy Gordon argues that the Recovery Act

can teach us much about a proper balance o responsibilities

among dierent levels o government. Subnational governments

provide most o the public goods and services in America, so

the ederal government could not eiciently disburse unds or

education, health, and welare—areas targeted in the stimulus—

without mobilizing lower levels o governments. Thus more than

hal o ARRA spending lowed through states, counties, cities,

and towns.

The Recovery Act provides a possible template or uture inter-

governmental cooperation. By targeting aid to the most alicted

and requiring extensive oversight and reporting, ARRA may have

helped overcome the moral hazard concerns regarding ederal

aid. Whereas other writers have ocused on ARRA’s impact on

jobs or economic output, Gordon emphasizes the role o state

and local governments, bringing the discussion down to where

Americans interact with their governments.

Trac Gordon is a ellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution.

Previously she taught in the University o Maryland’s School o Public

Policy and was a research ellow at the Public Policy Institute o Caliornia.

Voices for ChildrenRhetoric and Public Policy

William T. Gormley Jr.

The United States spends more

on programs or the elderly thanit does on programs that enhance

child development and improve

child welare. Why has public policy

neglected the development phase o

young Americans’ lives not only in

substantive dollars spent, but also in

program design and implementation?

Noted child care and education policy

expert William Gormley highlights the

portrayal o children’s issues in both

the mass media and in public policy-

making to explain why children have

gotten short shrit. A key explanation is the limited mass media

coverage o strong arguments in support o children’s programs.

Ater documenting changes in rhetoric on children and public

policy over time and variations across policy domains and govern-

ment venues, Gormley demonstrates that some “issue rames”

are more eective than others in persuading voters. In two ran-

domized experiments, he inds that “economic” rames are more

eective than “moralistic” rames in generating public support or

children’s programs. Independent voters are especially respon-

sive to economic rames. In several illuminating case studies, in

Connecticut, Utah, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, he inds

that strong rhetoric makes a dierence but that it is sometimes

eclipsed by even stronger political and economic constraints.

Voices for Children oers a resh perspective on raging debates

over child health, child poverty, child welare, and educationprograms at the ederal and state levels. It inds some hopeul

examples that could transorm how we think about children’s

issues and the kinds o public policies we adopt.

William T. Gormle Jr. is University Proessor and proessor o govern-

ment and public policy at Georgetown University and codirector o the

Center or Research on Children in the U.S. He is the author o several

books, including Organizational Report Cards with David Weimer and

Arab Society in RevoltThe West’s Mediterranean Challenge

Cesare Merlini and Olivier Roy, eds.

The Arab Spring o 2011 will be

remembered as a period ogreat change by the Arab states

o North Arica and the eastern

Mediterranean. Facing undamen-

tal transitions in governance, these

countries are also undergoing pro-

ound social, cultural, and religious

changes. The European Union and

the United States, caught unprepared

by the uprisings, now must address

the inescapable challenges o these

transormations. Arab Society in

Revolt explains and interprets the

societal transormations occurring in the Arab Muslim world,

their ramiications or the West, and possible policy options ordealing with this new world.

Expectations raised in the Arab squares are bound to have political

consequences sooner or later. How will the West respond to

these new realities, particularly in light o international economic

uncertainty, EU ambivalence toward a “cohesive oreign policy,”

and declining U.S. inluence abroad?

The irst section o Arab Society in Revolt examines areas o

change particularly relevant in the Southern Mediterranean:

demography and migration, Islamic revival and democracy, rapidly

changing roles o women in Arab society, the Internet in Arab soci-

eties, commercial and social entrepreneurship as change actors,

and the economics o Arab transitions. The second part looks at

those cultural and religious as well as political and economic ac-tors that have inluenced the Western response, or the lack o one,

to the Arab Spring, as well as the policy options that remain open.

States and Europe in the Foreign Policy program at Brookings and chair-

man o the board o trustees with the Italian Institute or International

Aairs in Rome. Oliier Ro is proessor at the European University

Innovations in Scaling UpDevelopment Impact

Laurence Chandy, Akio Hosono, Homi Kharas, and Johannes Linn, eds.

Visit any developing country and you will ind governments,international donors, NGOs, and corporations involved in a

range o innovative activities to address the needs o the poor.

Only a raction o those that show promise at a localized level,

however, will ever be replicated, expanded, and sustained to

achieve a transormative impact. Learning how to expand the

reach o proven interventions so that they help larger numbers

o poor people—“scaling up”—is a undamental challenge acing

the developing world. This book improves our understanding o

how scaling up can be achieved and what the international com-

munity can do to support the process.

Remarkably little is understood o how to design scalable proj-

ects, the impediments to reaching scale, or the most appropri-

ate pathways or reaching that goal. To answer these questions,

this book eatures a series o case studies drawn rom both the

public and private sectors to demonstrate how the scaling up o

services or the world’s poor can happen. By linking public and

private experience, the authors argue that successul scaling up

will not be achieved by either public or private sector eorts

alone. Rather, it will require both public and private eorts

working together.

This book demonstrates that the challenges to scaling up are

complex and various, but ultimately surmountable. It provides

an invaluable resource or development practitioners, analysts,

and students on a topic that remains largely unexplored and

poorly understood.

The Politics and Civicsof National ServiceLessons rom the Civilian Conservation Corps,VISTA, and AmeriCorps

Melissa Bass

In 1933 Franklin Roosevelt cre-

ated America’s irst, largest, and

most highly esteemed domestic

national service program: the Civilian

Conservation Corps. As part o the

CCC, Americans worked to rehabili-

tate, protect, and build the nation’s

natural resources. Despite its success,

the CCC was short lived. Why did

this program die while later, more

controversial national service pro-

grams, such as Volunteers in Service

to America (VISTA) and AmeriCorps,survive? And why—given the hard-

won continuation and expansion o AmeriCorps—is national

service less available as an option today than it was in 1933?

In her new book, Melissa Bass ocuses on the history, current

relevance, and impact o domestic national service. She argues

that only by examining programs over time can we understand

national service’s successes and limitations, both in terms o its

political support and its civic lessons. Based on extensive archiva

and documentary research, supplemented with interviews, The

Politics and Civics of National Service provides the irst detailed

policy history o VISTA and AmeriCorps and o America’s main

national service programs taken together as a whole.

Moreover, Bass urthers our understanding o twentieth-centuryAmerican political development by comparing programs ound-

ed during three distinct political eras—the New Deal, the Great

Society, and the early Clinton years—and tracing them over

time. To a remarkable extent, the CCC, VISTA, and AmeriCorps

relect the policymaking ethos and political controversies o

their times, illuminating principles that hold well beyond the

ield o national service.

The Politics and Civics of National Service expertly evaluates the

civic eects o national service policy in the context o political

development in the United States. At the same time, by empha-

sizing the programs’ eects on citizenship and civic engagement

this volume deepens our understanding o how programs can act

as “public policy or democracy.”

Melissa Bass is an assistant proessor o Public Policy Leadership at the

University o Mississippi.

The Resilient SectorSecond edition

Lester M. Salamon

Today America’s nonproit sector,

long a critically important parto the nation’s social and economic

abric, is more important than ever.

Economic woes and cutbacks in

public services have put additional

burdens squarely on the nonproit

sector’s shoulders, exacerbating the

sector’s longstanding “conlicting

multiple identities” as not-or-proit

organizations operating in a or-proit

market economy, relying heavily on

volunteers but expected to meet

oten-exacting proessional stan-

dards—part o the private sector yet serving public purposes.

As Lester Salamon explains in his second edition o The Resilient

Sector , America’s nonproit organizations are caught in a orce

ield, bueted by our rather dierent impulses—voluntarism,

professionalism, civic activism, and commercialism—that are pull-

ing it in rather dierent directions.

Understanding this orce ield and the actors shaping its dynam-

ics thus becomes essential to understanding the uture o indi-

vidual organizations and o the nonproit sector as a whole. To

date, ar too little attention has been paid to these developing

tensions. Salamon explains how and why they developed and

how they interact with one another in the ongoing battle or the

soul o America’s nonproits.

Praise for the first edition

“An important book that will be of importance to many within the field.”

The East Moves WestIndia, China, and Asia’s Growing Presencein the Middle East

Geoffrey Kemp

Industrial growth and economic

development are exploding in

China and India. The world’s two

most populous nations are the big-

gest reasons or Asia’s growing

ootprint on other global regions.

The increasing size and impact o

that ootprint are especially impor-

tant in the Middle East, an economic,

religious, and geopolitical linchpin.

In this updated edition o The East

Moves West , Georey Kemp detailsthe growing interdependence o the

Middle East and Asia and projects

the likely ramiications o this evolving relationship.


“A book of startling originality. Much is said about a ‘new’ Middle East, and

here it is, India and China pushing westward into the Persian Gulf and the

Mediterranean. This is strategic and political analysis of the highest order.”

—Fouad Ajami, professor and director of Middle East Studies,

Johns Hopkins University

“Kemp offers an effective and broad survey of the Asian-Middle East-

America nexus which covers new ground and offers a wealth of informa-

tion, data, and analysis. His book should benefit area specialists and poli-cymakers who seek to understand the Asian role in the Middle East and

dynamics between rising powers and the quasi-hegemon.”

—Middle East Journal

“Insightful and provocative. It is a pathbreaking analysis of major signifi-

cance and originality—not a lament about the decline of America or the

end of Western ascendancy, but, rather, a sober wake up call to face a

new, and maybe enduring, feature of international politics.

—Hisham Melhem, Washington bureau chief, Al-Arabiya news channel

“A rising Asia enters the Persian Gulf, with all that that implies. Nowhere

is this development analyzed better than in this volume. . . . Timely,

authoritative, and readable.”

Financial Regionalism and theInternational Monetary SystemMasahiro Kawai and Domenico Lombardi

At the apex o the euro area crisis, the Europeans have estab-

lished a temporary regional und (EFSF) and, later this year,will set a new, permanent regional institution (ESM). In Asia, poli-

cymakers have been considering ways to strengthen their own

inancial arrangements to more eectively enable their region to

cope with market pressures.

Thus, while inancial regionalism has become an increasingly

important area in the ield o international inancial relations, it

is not clear to what extent these regional initiatives could com-

pete (i at all) or complement the mission that the International

Monetary Fund discharges in the global inancial system.

Against the backdrop o the global economic crisis and the ongo-

ing euro crisis, a leading team o authors envisage how regional

inancing arrangements will aect not only regional members

within Asia, Europe, the Persian Gul, or Latin America but also

the global inancial architecture as a whole.

This comprehensive volume oers a touchstone or international

and domestic policymakers, academics, and global experts by

• assessing key political drivers in support or inancial

regionalism and their sustainability in the oreseeable uture,

• evaluating the eectiveness o regional inancial arrangements,

• investigating the implications o an increasing number o

regional inancial initiatives or the international monetary

system,

• revisiting the historical relationship among regional inancial

arrangements and the IMF.

Business and Climate PolicyPotentials and Pitalls o PrivateVoluntary Programs

Karsten Ronit, ed.

Climate change has become oneo the most important and

challenging global policy ields.

Attention has ocused primarily on

the successes and ailures o states

and intergovernmental organizations

but many more actors are involved

and contribute to solutions. Business,

oten seen as spurring climate change,

harbors considerable potential or

problem solving. Today, a rich variety

o private voluntary programs

address climate change.

Private voluntary programs are private in the sense that they areinitiated by and made up o businesses. They are voluntary in the

sense that businesses are ree to join or leave them, and they are

programs in that a variety o ormal rules, resources, and bodies

are oten established to administer and evaluate the schemes.

Business and Climate Policy assesses the potentials and pitalls

o existing private voluntary programs. The contributors evaluate

how eectively dierent programs meet public and private goals

at the national and international levels, and across industries.

The “lessons learned” presented in this book can help to design

new programs and improve those in existence. Such lessons are

relevant not only within climate policy, but also within the many

other policy ields in which private voluntary programs are active

Green Economy andGood Governance forSustainable DevelopmentOpportunities, Promises and Concerns

Jose Antonio Puppim de Oliveira, ed.

Much o the debate on green

growth and environmental

governance tends to be general in

nature and is oten conceptual or

limited to single disciplines. Even

though recent discussions on these

topics have beneited rom the

accumulation o empirical and theo-

retical knowledge over the last ew

decades, these discussions have

not produced the kind o concep-

tual novelty and tools necessary to

place the notion o a green economy

within mainstream political, social,

and economic agendas. Furthermore, discussions on governance

remain mostly in the international sphere with only tenuous talk

on governance at the national and subnational levels—the levels

at which implementation is key.

Green Economy and Good Governance for Sustainable

Development takes stock o the achievements and obstacles

toward sustainability over the last twenty years, and it proposes

new ideas and changes to create a more sustainable uture. The

contributors present the gap that can emerge between intentions

and results when green initiatives are put into practice and high-

light the lack o discussion on important topics such as equity.

The book includes in-depth discussion on and analysis o speciicissues such as oceans, cities, and biodiversity in order to bring

orth solutions that are politically legitimate, socially acceptable,

and economically viable.

Escaping VictimhoodChildren, Youth, and Post-Conlict Peacebuilding

Albrecht Schnabel and Anara Tabyshalieva, eds.

In the atermath o violent conlict, a

society seeking to rebuild its utureneeds to consider the interests and

needs o its young generation, and

these young people need to partici-

pate in the process. Yet, trapped in

a state o protracted victimhood,

children and youth are too oten over-

looked in post-conlict peacebuilding.

Their voices will not be heard unless

they can escape the chains o victim-

hood and their proper role in post-

war recovery is recognized.

In Escaping Victimhood , a diverse group o researchers and

scholar-practitioners working in academia, nongovernmental, and

international organizations examine the proactive roles o girls

and boys in promoting security or themselves and their amilies.

They discuss the disproportionate suering and speciic vulner-

abilities o the young during and ater war, as well as the interna-

tional legal rameworks created to protect and empower these

groups in post-conlict environments.

The authors provide examples o initiatives to help young people

escape the traps o victimhood and voicelessness and actively

engage in rebuilding their communities and nations, and they

examine international and national eorts to provide or the secu-

rity o children and young people in post-conlict environments.

Children and youth are essential catalysts or the successul

rebuilding o war-torn societies. Many will reach adulthood asnew social, economic, and political orders are being consolidated

as irst elections are held, and as local groups take over assis-

tance and rebuilding eorts. The young post-war generation will

become the next leaders, parents, and teachers, hence ensuring

its active role in post-conlict peacebuilding today could help

build a sustainable peace tomorrow.

Sulayman K. Sowe, Govindan Parayil, and Atsushi Sunami, eds.

Free and Open Source Sotware

(FOSS) technologies transcend

geographical and cultural boundaries

to usher in a new development para-

digm where volunteers collabora-

tively create sotware or common

use. The political economy o FOSS

technologies has ar-reaching

implications or world development

because o the centrality o inorma-

tion and communications technologies

or development (ICT4D). The global

trend in the diusion and adoption o

FOSS technologies is a testimony to

the socioeconomic and technological impact the sotware has or

both developed and developing economies.

The main aim o this book is to raise awareness, increase the

deployment, and capture the socioeconomic, technical, and

educational impact o inormation and communications technolo-

gies in general, and ree and open source sotware in particular,

or sustainable development. A global collection o experts in

social, natural, and human sciences, with contributions rom

researchers and practitioners in both developing and developed

countries, cover the theoretical and practical implications o

FOSS technologies.

While FOSS development, education, and business potentialsmay appear as a phenomenon or the developed world, a sizable

number o developing countries have implemented FOSS poli-

cies o their own. Empirical and anecdotal evidence continues to

demonstrate the potential o FOSS technologies or giving peo-

ple the opportunity to participate actively in the development

and shaping o their own technology, stimulating the growth o

indigenous sotware industries, creating local jobs, and lowering

technology acquisition and deployment costs.

The target audience o the book includes ICT4D and sustainable

development experts, FOSS developers and users, policymakers,

technology-oriented small and medium enterprises, NGOs work-

ing in ICT and sustainable development, international organiza-

tions with technology transer initiatives, inormation systems

practitioners and research institutions, curriculum designers, uni-

versities and colleges, and training institutions interested in the

pedagogical aspects o FOSS technologies.

Norms of ProtectionResponsibility to Protect, Protection oCivilians and Their Interaction

Angus Francis, Vesselin Popovski, and Charles Sampford, eds.

A series o humanitarian tragediesin the 1990s (Somalia, Rwanda,

Srebrenica, Kosovo) demonstrated

the international community’s ailure

to protect civilians in the context o

complex emergencies. They were the

inspiration or two norms o protec-

tion, Responsibility to Protect (R2P)

and Protection o Civilians (POC), both

deeply rooted in the empathy that

human beings have or the suering

o innocent people. Both norms have

achieved high-level endorsement: R2P

rom the 2005 World Summit and

its Outcome document (Art. 138-140) and POC rom a series oSecurity Council resolutions. The two norms o protection were

instrumental in adopting the Security Council Resolutions 1970

and 1973 (Libya) and 1975 (Cote d’Ivoire) in the year 2011.

Both norms raise concerns o misinterpretation and misuse. They

both are developing—sometimes in parallel, sometimes diverg-

ing, and sometimes converging—with varying degrees o insti-

tutionalization and acceptance. This process is likely to continue

or some time, with successes and ailures enhancing or retarding

that development. This book engages in a proound compara-

tive analysis o the two norms and aims to serve policymakers

at dierent levels (national, regional, and UN), practitioners with

protective roles (orce commanders, military trainers, strategists,

and humanitarian actors), academics and researchers (in interna-tional relations, law, political theory, and ethics), civil society, and

R2P and POC advocates.

Exorcising the Demons WithinXenophobia, Violence and Statecrat inContemporary South Arica

Loren B. Landau, ed.

On May 11, 2008, residents oAlexandra Township near

Johannesburg turned violently on

their neighbors. Over the ollowing

two weeks, a string o attacks let

sixty people dead, dozens raped, and

over a hundred thousand displaced.

Most o those killed were rom

beyond South Arica’s borders, but

at least a third were citizens who, or

reasons o ethnicity or political aili-

ation, ailed to protect their space in

the country’s urban core. Exorcising

the Demons Within explores these

events and the subsequent consequences or the order o power,population, and place.

The book makes sense o recent anti-outsider violence by situating

it within an extended history o South Arican statecrat that both

produced the conditions or the attacks and has been reshaped by

it. Drawing on an interdisciplinary team o expert scholars and on

new research, this is the irst academic text to ully put into con-

text the events that made global headlines in 2008.

Although not the most severe political violence in South Arica’s

turbulent past, the 2008 attacks relect an important moment

in the country’s post-apartheid, post-authoritarian existence: a

moment when the government’s legitimacy and the post-apart-

heid order were called into question. This xenophobic violence

made evident cracks in the cohesion o law and society while

helping to redeine both.

Lora Saalman, ed.

G

lobal power is shiting to Asia. Asian

“theaters” attract the bulk o globalarms spending. China, India, and Pakistan

are building up their nuclear arsenals—as

the United States, France, and the United

Kingdom are building down. India and

Pakistan are the only countries in the world

producing new issile material or weapons,

and China is by ar the world’s largest

market or new nuclear energy production

(while India aspires to be on a similar

trajectory). Despite these trends, The

Nuclear Crossroads is the irst serious book

by leading Chinese and Indian experts to

examine the political, perceptual, military,

Editor Lora Saalman and a broad ield o

expert contributors produce a construc-

initiatives that China and India could pursue

to enhance cooperation and minimize the

Russia in 2020Scenarios or the Future

Maria Lipman and Nikolay Petrov, eds.

As Vladimir Putin returns to the presidency ollowing the

2012 elections, the prospects or Russia’s uture are

unclear. Russia in 2020 brings together leading experts to

analyze the possible scenarios or Russia’s development in the

next decade and the risks that lie ahead.

Despite Putin’s return, the authors believe that the so-called

Putin Era is over. This does not mean that Putin will soon give

up power, but the political and economic system he created

is incapable o dealing with Russia’s rapidly changing condi-

tions. Crises are likely unavoidable unless Russia changes

and modernizes.

The Iranian Nuclear CrisisA Memoir

Seyed Hossein Mousavian

The irst detailed Iranian account

o the diplomatic strugglebetween Iran and the international

community, The Iranian Nuclear

Crisis: A Memoir opens in 2002, as

news o Iran’s clandestine uranium

enrichment and plutonium produc-

tion acilities emerge. Seyed Hossein

Mousavian, previously the head o the

Foreign Relations Committee o Iran’s

Supreme National Security Council

and spokesman or Tehran’s nuclear

negotiating team, brings the reader

into Tehran’s private deliberations as

its leaders wrestle with internal and external adversaries.

Mousavian provides readers with intimate knowledge o Iran’s

interactions with the International Atomic Energy Agency and

global powers. His personal story comes alive as he vividly

recounts his arrest and interrogations on charges o espionage.

Dramatic episodes o diplomatic missions tell much about the

author and the swirling dynamics o Iranian politics and diploma-

cy—undercurrents that must be understood now more than ever.

As intense debate continues over the direction o Iran’s nuclear

program, Mousavian weighs the likely eects o military strikes,

covert action, sanctions, and diplomatic engagement, consider-

ing their potential to resolve the nuclear crisis.

Samudra ManthanSino-Indian Rivalry in the Indo-Paciic

C. Raja Mohan

Rising China and emerging India are becoming major maritime

powers. As they build large navies to secure their growinginterests, both nations are churning the waters o the Indo-

Paciic—the vast littoral stretching rom Arica to Australasia.

Invoking a tale rom Indian mythology, Samudra Manthan (“to

churn an ocean”), C. Raja Mohan tells the story o a Sino-Indian

rivalry spilling over rom the Himalayas into the Indian and Paciic

Oceans. He examines the prospects or mitigating their com-

petition in this arena. The United States also gets involved, as it

attempts to expand its presence and inluence in this strategi-

cally important region.

Despite the huge dierences in the current naval capabilities

o China, India, and the United States, Mohan argues, the three

countries are locked in a triangular dynamic destined to shape

the strategic uture o the Indo-Paciic. Samudra Manthan makessense o that dynamic.

Soft Power?The Means and Ends o Russian

Inluence Abroad

James Sherr

This book investigates Russian mecha-nisms designed to inluence and attract

countries in the “Common Neighborhood”

(Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Estonia, Finland,

Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania,

Mongolia, North Korea, Norway, Poland, and

Ukraine) and beyond. An understanding

o Russian inluence abroad must include

the growing component o sot power, but

cannot be conined to it or bound by estab-

lished Western deinitions o the concept.

Synthesizing the indings o a Chatham

House research project, Soft Power?

reveals the ways Russia is attempting to

develop inormal networks, business links,

state-corporate relations, cultural ainities,

and linguistic ties with its neighbors and

other politically important countries.

Multi-tier NATOThe Atlantic Alliance in the 21st Century

Timo Noetzel and Tobias Bunde

This book argues

that NATO has

developed into a

luid “multi-tier” alli-

ance that is divided

on many issues. The

reormist tier wants

NATO to act as a

global guardian o a

liberal world order.

The neo-traditionalist

tier avors an alliance still ocused on territo-

rial deense in a traditional sense. The statusquo tier is also skeptical about a globalized

alliance but does not see the need to reo-

cus on the European continent. Multi-tier

NATO sheds light on the speciic character-

istics, security cultures, and strategic world-

views in each tier.

The Future of School IntegrationSocioeconomic Diversity as an EducationReorm Strategy

Richard D. Kahlenberg, ed.

Almost ity years ago the Coleman

Report, widely regarded as the

most important educational study o

the twentieth century, ound that the

most powerul predictor o academic

achievement is the socioeconomic

status o a child’s amily. The second

most important predictor is the socio

economic status o the classmates in

his or her school. Until very recently,

the importance o this second ind-

ing has been consciously ignored by

policymakers, and the national education debate has centered on trying

to “ix” high-poverty schools by pouring greater resources into

them, paying educators more to teach in them, or turning them

into charter schools. At the local level, however, eighty school

districts educating our million students now consciously seek to

integrate schools by socioeconomic status.

The Future of School Integration looks at how socioeconomic

school integration has been pursued as a strategy to reduce the

proportion o high-poverty schools and thereore to improve

the perormance o students overall. It examines whether stu-

dents learn more in socioeconomically integrated schools—and

pre-K programs—than in high-poverty institutions and explores

the costs and beneits o integration programs. The book also

investigates whether such integration is logistically and politically

easible, looking at the promises and pitalls o both intradistrict

and interdistrict integration programs. Finally, it examines the rel-

evance o socioeconomic integration strategies being pursued by

states and localities to the ongoing policy debates in Washington

over eorts to turn around the nation’s lowest-perorming

schools and to improve the quality o charter schools.

Why Labor OrganizingShould Be a Civil RightRebuilding a Middle-Class Democracy by

Enhancing Worker VoiceRichard D. Kahlenberg and Moshe Z. MarvitPreface by Thomas Geoghegan

W hy Labor Organizing Should Be

a Civil Right lays out the case

or a new approach, one that takes

the issue beyond the conines o labor

law by amending the Civil Rights Act

so that it prohibits discrimination

against workers trying to organize

a union. The authors argue that this

strategy would have two signiicant

beneits. First, enhanced penalties

under the Civil Rights Act would pro-

vide a greater deterrent against the

illegal iring o employees who try to

organize. Second, as a political mat-

ter, identiying the ability to orm a union as a civil right rames the

issue in a way that Americans can readily understand.

“In these times when civil rights and workers rights are under simulta-

neous attack, this book is a must read.”

—Benjamin Todd Jealous, NAACP president and CEO

“A persuasive roadmap for extending the protections of the Civil Rights

Act to workers who want to organize a union.”

—Randi Weingarten, president, American Federation of Teachers

“The growing disconnect between productivity and wages in America is

not the result of some set of economic physical laws of nature, as some

would have us believe, but instead directly linked to the political attacks

by the right to undermine the laws of collective bargaining. . . . Richard

Kahlenberg and Moshe Marvit’s prescription is just what our nation needs.”

—Amy B. Dean, principal of ABD Ventures, LLC, and former president

and CEO, South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council

“This book couldn’t come at a better time—just as America is begin-

ning to discuss how to address our record high economic inequality.”

American Progress

GreenprintA New Approach to Cooperation

on Climate Change

Arvind Subramanian and Aaditya Mattoo

Beleaguered by mutual recriminationbetween rich and poor countries,

squeezed by the zero-sum arithmetic o

a shrinking global carbon budget, and

overtaken by shits in economic and hence

bargaining power between these countries,

international cooperation on climate change

has loundered. Given these three actors—

which Arvind Subramanian and Aaditya

Mattoo call the “narrative,” “adding up,” and

“new world” problems—the wonder is not

the current impasse; it is, rather, the belie

that progress might be possible at all.

In this book, the authors argue that any

chance o progress must address each o

these problems in a radically dierent way.

First, the old narrative o recrimination

must cede to a narrative based on recogni-

tion o common interests. Second, leaders

must shit the ocus away rom emissions

cuts to technology generation. Third, the

old “cash-or-cuts” approach must be

abandoned or one that requires contribu-

tions rom all countries calibrated in mag-

nitude and orm to their current level o

development and uture prospects.

Arind Sbramanian is a senior ellow at the

appointment at the Peter G. Peterson Institute

Oil to CashFighting the Resource Curse

through Cash Transers

Todd Moss, Caroline Lambert, and

Stephanie Majerowicz

What should a country do i it suddenly

discovers oil and gas? How should it

spend the subsequent cash windall? How

can it protect against corruption? How can

citizens truly beneit rom national wealth?

With many o the world’s poorest and most

ragile states suddenly joining the ranks o

oil and gas producers, these are pressing

policy questions.

Oil to Cash explores one option that may

help avoid the so-called resource curse:

just give the money directly to citizens.

A universal, transparent, and regular cash

transer would not only provide a concretebeneit to regular people, but would also

create powerul incentives or citizens to

hold their government accountable. Oil to

Cash details how and where this idea could

work and how policymakers can learn rom

the experiences with cash transers in

places like Mexico, Mongolia, and Alaska.

Todd Moss is the vice president or programs

and senior ellow at the Center or Global

Development (CGD). Caroline Lambert

The Governor’s SolutionAlaska’s Oil Dividend and

Iraq’s Last Window

Todd Moss, ed.

States that substantially increase theirincome through rents (proits rom

the exportation o oil and other natural

resources) oten experience a subsequent

increase in government corruption. Simply

put, the people in power try to direct more

o the money to themselves and prevent

others rom taking their place.

Seeking to lessen the negative eects o

oil rents in Alaska, Governor Jay Hammond

had a simple yet revolutionary idea: when

citizens have a direct stake they pay close

attention to where the money is going.

The embodiment o his idea is the Alaska

Permanent Fund Dividend that, since 1982,

has been distributing a portion o Alaska’s

earnings to each resident.

The Governor’s Solution eatures a irst-

hand account by the late governor that

describes, with brutal honesty and piercing

humor, the birth o the dividend. Thirty

years later, Hammond’s vision is still shap-

ing the Center or Global Development’s

oil-to-cash initiative to explore how

cash transers might mitigate the cor-

rosive impact o oil rents. Accompanying

Hammond’s story is recent work by schol-

ars examining Alaska’s experience and howother oil-rich societies, particularly Iraq,

might apply some o the lessons. This book

serves as a powerul reminder that the

combination o new ideas and determined

individuals can make a tremendous dier-

ence—even in issues as seemingly complex

and intractable as ighting the oil curse.

Chinese Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile(ASBM) DevelopmentDrivers, Trajectories, and Strategic Implications

Andrew S. Erickson

China’s anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), the DF-21D, has reached

the equivalent o Initial Operational Capability. Although it

probably has been deployed in small numbers, additional chal-

lenges and tests remain. This study examines the ASBM’s capability

and history, showing how the DF-21D meets multiple priorities in

Chinese deense modernization and in the national security bureau-

cracy, as well its implications or the United States.

The ASBM’s physical threat to U.S. Navy ships will be determined

by the development o associated systems and organizations,

which currently limit data usion and coordination in the com-

plex task o identiying a U.S. aircrat carrier in the open ocean.

Still, the ASBM poses a direct threat to the oundations o U.S.

power project in Asia and will undermine the U.S. position, unless

eorts to counter its political-military eects are taken.

Beijing Ponders NATO MilitaryWithdrawal from Afghanistan

Richard Weitz

This report provides an overview and analysis o the vigorous

debate over Aghanistan in Chinese oreign policy circles.

Beijing does not want permanent U.S. or NATO bases on China’s

western rontiers. However, it ears NATO will withdraw prema-

turely rom Aghanistan, leaving China to address the regional

repercussions o Aghan instability. The Chinese also do not

want to assume the main burden o supporting Pakistan, even as

Beijing is unwilling to provide much support to the NATO mission

China is struggling to avert bad policy outcomes in Aghanistan

without compromising long-held oreign policy principles. As this

report reveals, thus ar those struggles have not led to a clear deci-

sion about China’s interests and the resulting steps to secure them.

Boko Haram inWest AfricaAl Qaeda’s Next Frontier?

Jacob Zenn

This report addresses the regional rami-

ications o the rise o Boko Haram and

evaluates the jihadist terrorist organiza-

tion as something more than a domestic

Nigerian movement. The report discusses

Boko Haram’s regional connections and

the possibility o it expanding throughout

West Arica.

The architecture or Boko Haram to

become an al Qaeda wing in West Arica

or part o a regional terrorist movement

may already be in place. The Movement

or Oneness and Jihad in West Arica

(MOJWA) shares the same goal as BokoHaram and is also dominated by Hausa-

speaking members. Armed with weapons

rom Libya’s caches and possessing opera-

tional ties to an Algerian-based al Qaeda

action, MOJWA may be the link between

Boko Haram in Nigeria and a broader Boko

Haram regional movement. The expan-

sion o these terrorists in West Arica, and

the possibility o Boko Haram ranchising,

could present a uture threat to Western

business interests in the area and under-

mine the region’s ledgling democracies.

The Ethical Challenges of the SoldierThe French Experience

General Benoit Royal

When a soldier engages in warare, he enters a world that

borders on absolute evil and has nothing to do witheveryday lie. He is conronted by real issues o conscience,

the solutions to which are not to be ound in military regula-

tions. How does he ind answers to such questions without

departing rom his mission? How to react without losing his

soul or suering irreparable psychological damage? How to

ight while respecting other people’s dignity?

Drawing on more than a hundred speciic real-lie cases and

situations, both recent and rom the past, Brigadier General

Benoit Royal provides a irm ethical oundation along with re-

erence points to help commanders in the ield ind solutions

to these dilemmas. In conlict situations that are humanly

unacceptable and oten close to unbearable, only sound ethical principles, imprinted

in the mind very early in training, will enable military leaders to give meaning to their

actions and remain at peace with their consciences.

Brigadier General Benoit Roal, trained at Saint-Cyr, accumulated extensive wartime experience

while serving with the French Marines. He currently commands the recruitment division o the French

Army and is an associate researcher in the proessional ethics division o the Saint-Cyr Coetquidan

Research Centre.

Time to Set BankingRegulation Right

Jacopo Carmassi and Stefano Micossi

E

xcessive leverage

and risk takingby large interna-

tional banks were the

main causes o the

2008–09 inancial

crisis and the ensu-

ing sharp drop in

economic activity and

employment. World

leaders and central bankers promised that

it would not happen again and, to this end,

undertook to overhaul banking regulation,

irst and oremost by rectiying Basel pru-

dential rules.

This study argues that the new Basel III

Accord and the ensuing EU Capital

Requirements Directive IV ail to correct

the two main shortcomings o international

prudential rules: reliance on banks’ risk

management models or the calculation o

capital requirements and the lack o

accountability by supervisors. Accordingly,

the authors propose the calculation o capi

tal requirements without risk adjustment

and creation o a system o mandated

action by supervisors modeled on the U.S.

ramework o Prompt Corrective Action.

They also recommend that banks should be

required to issue large amounts o deben-

tures that are convertible into equity in

order to strengthen market discipline on

management and shareholders.

The Sovereign Debt CrisisPlacing a Curb on Growth

Anton Brender, Florence Pisani, and

Emile Gagna

To ward o the

threat o a world-

wide depression that

loomed at the end o

the 2000s, govern-

ments opted to run

up substantial iscal

deicits. In doing so,

they sowed the seeds

o the sovereign debt

crisis. Saddled with oten high debt bur-

dens and modest growth prospects, devel-

oped countries must now rebalance their

government budgets. Doing so too rapidly,

however, would choke growth.Faced with this dilemma, Japan and the

United States have pursued growth policies

while the euro-area members are quickly

trying to rebalance their budgets. This

book explores the respective risks associ-

ated with these two strategies. It urther

investigates the consequences or the

international monetary and inancial sys-

tem o developing countries’ public debts

ceasing to be risk ree.

SyncretizationThe Politics o CorporateRestructuring and SystemReorm in Japan

Kenji Kushida, Kay Shimizu, andJean C. Oi, eds.

Japan’s post-war economic miracle came

to an abrupt halt in the early 1990s,

leading to a prolonged period o economic

stagnation. During this trying period, as the

Japanese political economy struggled to

adapt to a rapidly evolving global environ-

ment, scholars ocused on the question:

Has Japan changed?

The contributors to this volume move

beyond this old question o change or no

change. Each chapter examines a dier-

ent aspect o Japan’s political economy

within a longer trajectory and rom multiple

angles to depict a lexible but resilient

system. The book characterizes Japan’s

process o change as syncretization: prac-

tices oreign, domestic, old, and new were

selectively adopted, mixed, and matched,

creating a new and unique hybrid system.

Rethinking National Identityin the Age of MigrationThe Transatlantic Council

on Migration

Greater mobilityand migration

have brought about

unprecedented levels

o diversity, trans-

orming communities

on both sides o the

Atlantic in undamen

tal ways and sparking

uncertainty over who

“we” are in a society.

Yet, while a consensus may be emerg-

ing as to what has not worked well, little

thought has been given to developing a

new organizing principle or communitycohesion. Such a vision needs to smooth

divisions between immigration’s “winners

and losers,” blunt extremism, and respond

smartly to changing community and

national identities.

This volume examines the lessons that

can be drawn rom various approaches to

immigrant integration and managing diver-

sity in North America and Europe. It deliv-

ers recommendations on what policymakers

must do to build and reinorce inclusive-

ness given the realities in both regions. It

oers insights into the next generation o

policies that can (re)build inclusive soci-

eties and bring immigrants and natives

together in pursuit o shared utures.

Megatrends in GlobalInteraction

We inhabit an

increasingly

interconnected world.

Yet too oten policy-

makers and advisers

view each issue in

a vacuum, ocusing

primarily on short-

term impacts. All o

us—policymakers,

local and global com-

munities, and individual citizens—must

begin to consider how the major trends

that shape our world are likely to develop

and how they will intersect and inluence

one another.

This volume explores and discusses cor-relations between these global trends, or

megatrends: global governance, demo-

graphic change and migration, energy

and natural resources, global security,

biodiversity, and economic globalization.

The book’s primary ocus is to provide a

qualitative overview o the trends, and to

analyze their intersections and interdepen-

dencies in the 21st century. It aims to help

deine some o the complex challenges and

exciting opportunities shaping a world o

sustainable economies and societies.

or energy and raw

materials, the BRICS

nations—Brazil,

Russia, India, China,

are on their way to

changing the political and economic map

o our world. Due to economic stagnation

across traditional industrialized nations,

there is a growing tendency among inves-

tors to ocus on this group o states char-

acterized by highly dynamic development

and promising markets. Their increased

signiicance already is relected in arenas

o international politics such as the G-20,

claim ever more inluence.

What exactly are the key elements or the

What are the barriers to their sustainable

development? Change Ahead answers

those questions through an extensive seto Sustainable Governance Indicators,

which help systematically record and com-

pare the political perormance and gover-

nance capacities o the BRICS nations. With

the participation o an international net-

arack Obama’s election as president in 2008 generated wide-

spread hope that the United States was entering a new erawhereby government, in a reversal o Ronald Reagan’s amous dic-

tum, would be the solution to the nation’s maniold problems amid

the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The

Obama election slogan o “Yes We Can” seemed to voice a hope

that new leadership would put right what had gone wrong with

America. Anticipating a new era o government activism, some com-

mentators read the death rites on “The Age o Reagan,” the post-

1980 anti-statist trend o American politics. Within a short time,

however, “Yes We Can” gave way to “No We Can’t,” as America’s

D

uring the past

decade, the

global economic

center o gravity has

shited eastward and

southward, creat-

ing new opportuni-

ties or economic

cooperation, trade,

also new challenges.

This shiting wealth is a game changer or

Perspectives on Global Development series,

which documents the phenomenon and

analyzes its implications or social cohesionand productive growth strategies.

The 2013 edition discusses the challenges

and opportunities that the new global

in developing countries. The rise o emerg-

ing economies is transorming patterns o

trade and consumption worldwide. Yet,

these new economic opportunities are

marred by concerns about the sustainabili-

Preparing Teachers andDeveloping School Leadersfor the 21st CenturyLessons rom around the World

Nations around the world are undertaking wide-ranging

reorms to better prepare children or the higher educational

demands o lie and work in the 21st century. What are the skills

that young people will need in a rapidly changing society, and

what competencies do teachers need to eectively teach thoseskills? What can teacher preparation and continuing proessional

development do to prepare graduates to teach well in tomor-

row’s classroom? What are the dierent roles and responsibilities

o upcoming school leaders, and how do countries succeed in

developing these leaders?

To help governments eectively address these and other

key issues, the U.S. Department o Education, the OECD, and

Education International brought education ministers, union

leaders, and other teacher leaders together in the second

International Summit on the Teaching Proession in March 2012.

OECD Internet EconomyOutlook 2012

Evolving rom a data network o wire-connected PCs to a much

broader network o portable devices, rom mobile phones to

tablet computers, the Internet has become unda-mental inra-structure supporting the economy. It is also on the cusp o a

much larger expansion, to objects that until now did not typically

have communications capabilities, such as household appliances

and items o clothing. The “Internet o things”

is projected to have more connections than the people using it.

This raises many important socioeconomic and political issues,

as economies and societies become increasingly intermeshed.

Supported by time series data, this publication begins with an

overview o trends. It highlights how the Internet sector has

proven to be resilient during the recent economic crisis. It then

examines the various drivers and impacts o Internet use and

deployment, as well as emerging technologies, e-health, digital

content, security and privacy, and it also relects on a methodol-

ogy or measuring the Internet economy.

Nicolas Pons-Vignon and Phumzile Ncube, eds.

As poverty andinequality are

rising to alarming

levels in Europe, the

continent seems at

a loss to respond.

Political leaders appea

content to liquidate

the social gains made

by workers’ struggles

A small minority asso

ciated with the inancial sector, possibly

even smaller than one percent, stands to

beneit rom a deepening o neoliberalism.

This new anthology o essays rom the

Global Labour Column explores Europe’s

turmoil and challenges the deep-rooted

consequences o neoliberalism in the North

and the South. It sheds light on new move-

ments and ideas that are emerging to

deend and mobilize workers, and it points

to encouraging new policies and directions

that could lay the oundations o a new

order that would have decent work and lie

at its core. Many o these innovations come

rom the South, and the North may have

much to learn rom them.

Towards a Greener EconomyThe Social Dimensions

In reaction to the

2008 global inancia

crisis, the European

Commission and theILO combined eorts

to examine policies

that will lead not only

to a quicker recovery

but also to a more

sustainable, envi-

ronmentally riendly,

and equitable global economy. This report

aims to promote a clearer understanding

o the nature o the green economy and its

implications or labor markets, especially

the reallocation o jobs rom high- to low-

polluting sectors.

The report demonstrates that a double

dividend in terms o increased decent work

opportunities and a greener economy is

possible, provided that complementari-

ties among environmental, economic, and

social policies are adequately exploited. It

discusses the green policy measures that

EU countries are currently undertaking,

with a view to identiying any gaps in the

policy mix. It also presents model estimates

on the likely transmission mechanisms aris-

ing rom these measures.

“I read the Global Wage Report with much interest—and with much

the ILO seems to have got it absolutely right.”

—Adrian Wood, Professor of International Development,

University of Oxford

Wages are a major component o decent work, yet serious

knowledge gaps remain in this increasingly important area.

This report, published biennially, is divided into two parts. Part I

provides inormation on regional and global trends in the areas

o wage statistics and wage policies. This is illustrated and

enriched with country-speciic examples and noteworthy policy

initiatives. Part II oers deeper yet accessible insights into a

can be accessed through the ILO website, which researchers

can use in their own analyses.
