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-
dent senior ellow at the Brookings Institution, and a ormer Pakistani ambassador to the United
Kingdom. In an addition to being a published poet and playwright, Ahmed is the author o Journey
into Islam: The Crisis of Globalization and Journey into America: The Cha llenge of Islam , both pub-
lished by Brookings.

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,

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.

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.
Praise for Alicia Munnell and Steven Sass, Working Longer

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.
Praise for the hardcover edition
“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.

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

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.

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.
Praise for the hardcover edition
“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.

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.

The Nuclear CrossroadsChina, India, and the New Paradigm
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,
and technical actors that aect the twocountries’ nuclear relations.
Editor Lora Saalman and a broad ield o
expert contributors produce a construc-
tive ramework and comprehensive set o
initiatives that China and India could pursue
to enhance cooperation and minimize the
unintended consequences o their security
dilemmas. The Nuclear Crossroads will
serve as a valuable resource or scholars,
journalists, and government oicials inter-
ested in China, India, security studies, and
international relations.

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

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

nations—Brazil,

are on their way to
changing the political and economic map

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,
United Nations, International Monetary
Fund, and Organization or Economic
Cooperation and Development, where they
claim ever more inluence.
What exactly are the key elements or the
success stories o these countries? What
kind o dierences and similarities in their
political management may be identiied?
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-
work o experts, this comprehensive study
results in a detailed proile o the strengths

Young Children of BlackImmigrants in AmericaChanging Flows, Changing Faces
Randy Capps and Michael Fix, eds.
This book examines
the well-being
and development
o children in black
immigrant amilies
(most with parents
rom Arica and the
Caribbean). There
are 1.3 million such
children in the United
States. While children
in these amilies account or 11 percent o
all black children in America and representa rapidly growing segment o the U.S.
population, they remain largely ignored
by researchers. To address this impor-
tant gap in knowledge, the Migration
Policy Institute’s (MPI) National Center on
Immigrant Integration Policy embarked on
a project to study these children rom birth
to age ten.
Chapters include analysis o the changing
immigration low to the United States; the
role o amily and school relationships in
the well-being o Arican immigrant chil-
dren; exploration o the eects o ethnicity
and oreign-born status on inant health;
and parenting behavior, health, and cogni-
tive development among children in black
immigrant amilies.

Michael Fix, Demetrios G. Papademetriou,and Madeleine Sumption, eds.
This volume, which
brings together
research by leading
economists and labor
market specialists
and examines the role
immigrants play in
the U.S. workorce,
how they are in good
and bad economic
times, and the eects
they have on native-born workers and thelabor sectors in which they are engaged.
The book traces the powerul economic
orces at play in today’s globalized world
and includes policy prescriptions or mak-
ing the American immigration system more
responsive to labor market needs.
Chapters examine employment outcomes
or low-skilled, middle-skilled, and high-
skilled workers; assess the economic eects
o illegal immigration; trace immigrants’
trajectories in the construction, health care,
hospitality, and inormation technology sec-
tors; and detail the impact o immigration in
recession and economic expansion.

review o the role o immigration in the
labor market. The initiative produces
detailed policy recommendations on how
the United States should rethink its immi-
gration policy in the light o what is known
about the economic impact o immigra-
tion—bearing in mind the current context
o the economic crisis, growing income
inequality, concerns about the eect oglobalization on U.S. competitiveness, the
competition or highly skilled migrants, and
demographic and technological change.

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
government became enmeshed in gridlock and political polarization.

debate on whether American government truly is broken and, i so,
what can be done to ix it.

uring the past
decade, the

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
scenario and shiting wealth are opening
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-
ty o current growth patterns and structural
weaknesses in developing countries. In this
context, sequenced and coordinated poli-
cies become crucial. This report explores
the role o deliberate national productive
growth strategies to enable the structural
changes required to achieve inclusive and

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

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.

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.

Labour in the Global SouthChallenges and Alternatives
or Workers
Sarah Mosoetsa and Michelle Williams, eds.
The twenty-irst century has posed seri-ous challenges to workers worldwide. It
has also brought to the ore extraordinarily
creative responses, orcing us to think
beyond our common understandings o
labor, eective trade union strategies, and
orms o power. Challenging the global
North’s dominance in the literature, Labour
in the Global South presents alternative
approaches as well as creative responses
to the challenges acing labor in the global
South, in countries such as Bangladesh,
Brazil, India, South Arica, and Uruguay.
This volume devotes particular attention to
areas oten neglected by organized labor:
the relationship between ecology, climate
change, and jobs; unionizing service work;
the dynamics o trade union−political
party alliances; gender; and new orms
o solidarity. It brings together a group o
distinguished labor scholars and practition-
ers who make an important contribution
through their rich empirical case studies.

Global Wage Report 2012–13
“I read the Global Wage Report with much interest—and with much
admiration. It is not easy to put together a report of this kind, and
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
single wage-related issue, or instance minimum wage ixing,
collective bargaining, or the macroeconomic dimensions o
wages. The report also contains a rich statistical appendix that
can be accessed through the ILO website, which researchers
can use in their own analyses.

stimulate the economy. This volume seeks to relect a variety
o experiences starting with the “living wage” campaigns in the
United States, policy eorts to strengthen the minimum wages
in Brazil and India, the Asia Floor Wage initiative aiming to set a
common real wage loor in Southeast Asia’s garment industry,
and the current debate on a minimum wage or Europe. Finally,
