Book excerpt: Not simply an OC eventOCO or merely an OC incident, OCO the 1962 standoff between the U. S. and the Soviet Union over missiles in Cuba was a crisis, which subsequently has achieved almost mythic significance in the annals of United States foreign policy.

Book Synopsis Constructing the International Economy by : Rawi Abdelal
Download or read book Constructing the International Economy written by Rawi Abdelal and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing empirically on how political and economic forces are always mediated and interpreted by agents, both in individual countries and in the international sphere, Constructing the International Economy sets out what such constructions and what various forms of constructivism mean, both as ways of understanding the world and as sets of varying methods for achieving that understanding. It rejects the assumption that material interests either linearly or simply determine economic outcomes and demands that analysts consider, as a plausible hypothesis, that economies might vary substantially for nonmaterial reasons that affect both institutions and agents' interests. Constructing the International Economy portrays the diversity of models and approaches that exist among constructivists writing on the international political economy. The authors outline and relate several different arguments for why scholars might attend to social construction, inviting the widest possible array of scholars to engage with such approaches. They examine points of terminological or theoretical confusion that create unnecessary barriers to engagement between constructivists and nonconstructivist work and among different types of constructivism. This book provides a tool kit that both constructivists and their critics can use to debate how much and when social construction matters in this deeply important realm.

Download or read book A Nation-State by Construction written by Suisheng Zhao and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first historically comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the causes, content, and consequences of nationalism in China, an ancient empire that has struggled to construct a nation-state and find its place in the modern world. It shows how Chinese political elites have competed to promote different types of nationalism linked to their political values and interests and imposed them on the nation while trying to repress other types of nationalism. In particular, the book reveals how leaders of the PRC have adopted a pragmatic strategy to use nationalism while struggling to prevent it from turning into a menace rather than a prop.

Book Synopsis The Statebuilder's Dilemma by : David A. Lake
Download or read book The Statebuilder's Dilemma written by David A. Lake and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central task of all statebuilding is to create a state that is regarded as legitimate by the people over whom it exercises authority. This is a necessary condition for stable, effective governance. States sufficiently motivated to bear the costs of building a state in some distant land are likely to have interests in the future policies of that country, and will therefore seek to promote loyal leaders who are sympathetic to their interests and willing to implement their preferred policies. In The Statebuilder's Dilemma, David A. Lake addresses the key tradeoff between legitimacy and loyalty common to all international statebuilding attempts. Except in rare cases where the policy preferences of the statebuilder and the population of the country whose state is to be built coincide, as in the famous success cases of West Germany and Japan after 1945, promoting a leader who will remain loyal to the statebuilder undermines that leader’s legitimacy at home. In Iraq, thrust into a statebuilding role it neither anticipated nor wanted, the United States eventually backed Nouri al-Malaki as the most favorable of a bad lot of alternative leaders. Malaki then used the support of the Bush administration to govern as a Shiite partisan, undermining the statebuilding effort and ultimately leading to the second failure of the Iraqi state in 2014. Ethiopia faced the same tradeoff in Somalia after the rise of a promising but irredentist government in 2006, invading to put its own puppet in power in Mogadishu. But the resulting government has not been able to build significant local support and legitimacy. Lake uses these cases to demonstrate that the greater the interests of the statebuilder in the target country, the more difficult it is to build a legitimate state that can survive on its own.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Resentment by : Katherine J. Cramer
Download or read book The Politics of Resentment written by Katherine J. Cramer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An important contribution to the literature on contemporary American politics. Both methodologically and substantively, it breaks new ground.” —Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare When Scott Walker was elected Governor of Wisconsin, the state became the focus of debate about the appropriate role of government. In a time of rising inequality, Walker not only survived a bitterly contested recall, he was subsequently reelected. But why were the very people who would benefit from strong government services so vehemently against the idea of big government? With The Politics of Resentment, Katherine J. Cramer uncovers an oft-overlooked piece of the puzzle: rural political consciousness and the resentment of the “liberal elite.” Rural voters are distrustful that politicians will respect the distinct values of their communities and allocate a fair share of resources. What can look like disagreements about basic political principles are therefore actually rooted in something even more fundamental: who we are as people and how closely a candidate’s social identity matches our own. Taking a deep dive into Wisconsin’s political climate, Cramer illuminates the contours of rural consciousness, showing how place-based identities profoundly influence how people understand politics. The Politics of Resentment shows that rural resentment—no less than partisanship, race, or class—plays a major role in dividing America against itself.
Book Synopsis Best Interest Attorneys in the State of Maryland by : Marsha Russell
Download or read book Best Interest Attorneys in the State of Maryland written by Marsha Russell and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-02 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a labor of love born from adversity. It is the author¿s Master¿s Thesis written as a result of her experiences with the Montgomery County, Maryland legal system and the attorneys who ¿work¿ that system. It is written to provide information to women who face the difficult challenge of having the Maryland legal system micro-manage the rearing of their children via custody, support, and visitation. It is not meant to provide legal advice, but rather to inform women about the law as it relates to child custody/visitation issues and the utilization of the so-called Best Interest Attorney or BIA. Although this treatise was written in 2009, it continues to be relevant today. Having gone through the experience twice, the author has learned that mothers must be aware of the parameters of the BIA`s activities and the possibility that their recommendations may be skewed by racial, sexual or ethnic bias; or even influence from the presiding judge with no recourse available. Presently, there are no laws in place to adequately monitor BIA activities. As a result, too many children are allowed visitation with fathers who the mothers warn are abusive or have mental health issues. Yet time and time again, the court continues to ignore the warnings due to something the author refers to as the ¿Daddy Rule.¿ When the mother raises concerns, she is viewed by the court as being vindictive rather than trying to protect her children.Subsequently, the only possibility for change depends on how quickly advocacy groups form tenacious coalitions to bring about needed change in the domestic relations/family law area of the Maryland judicial system. Such action will take a massive effort, due to the utter entrenchment of the courts in the state¿s flawed legal system ¿ a system which allows manipulation by the fathers to the detriment of the children and the anguish of the mothers.
