Jason Seawright
o date, scholars have pointedto economic crises, the rise othe inormal economy, and thecharisma and political brillianceo Fujimori and Chavez to
explain the changes in Peruand Venezuela. Tis book useseconomic data, surveys, andexperiments to show that theseexplanations are incomplete.Integrating economic, organi-zational, and individual consid-erations, Seawright provides anew explanation and compellingnew evidence to present a uller
picture o voters decisions andactions in bringing about party-system collapse, and the riseo important outsider politicalleaders in South America.
Seawright oers the best expla-

o party systems in Peru and
Venezuela. He also provides an
exemplary study o the roles o

Daniel M. Sabet
Why have reorm eorts inMexico been largely unsuccess-ul? Tis book seeks to answerthe question by ocusing on
Mexicos municipal police,which make up the largestpercentage o the countryspolice orces. Daniel Sabetargues that the problems oMexican policing are reallyproblems o governance. Hends that reorm has sueredrom a number o policydesign and implementation
challenges. More importantly,the inormal rules o Mexicanpolitics have prevented thecontinuity o reorm eortsacross administrations, allowedpatronage appointments topersist, and underminedanti-corruption eorts.

Violence, Coercion,
and State-Makingin wentieth-Century MexicoTe Other Hal othe CentaurEdited by Wil G. Pansters
Mexico is currently undergoinga crisis o violence and insecu-
rity that poses serious threats todemocratic transition and ruleo law. Tis is the rst book toput these developments in thecontext o post-revolutionarystate-making in Mexico andto show that violence inMexico is not the result o stateailure, but o state-making.
Through nuanced, cross-
disciplinary perspectives on vio-lence, this volume considerably
advances our understanding o
Mexicos contemporary crises. In
particular, it shows that chronic
violence is not the result o state
ailure in Mexico, but rather is
deeply embedded in historical
processes o post-revolutionary
state ormation.

Regime Power inEgypt and Syria
Joshua Stacher
Examining how power is struc-tured in each country, JoshuaStacher shows how the uprisingsand outcomes have been shapedby preexisting power congura-tions, allowing certain autocratic
systems to adapt more easily thanothers. Power structures, elitealliances, state institutions, andgoverning practices are seldomswept away entirelyeven ollow-ing successul revolutionsso it is vital that we examinethe various contexts or regimesurvival to understand ongoingevents in the Middle East.
This is one o the best, mostconcrete explorations o develop-
ments in Egyptian and Syrian poli-
tics over the last decade. Stacher
provides an original look at the
inner workings and dynamics o
two vitally important regimes in
the Arab world and lays out the
implications or the uture o the
signicant dierences between
these two political systems.

Reissued with a new introduction
Te Emergence oModern AghanistanPolitics o Reorm andModernizationVartan Gregorian
In this reissue, Vartan Gregorianoers a new introduction thatplaces the key themes o the bookin the context o contemporary
events, addressing questions otribalism, nationalism, Islam, andmodernization, as well as thelegacies o the Cold War and the
various exit strategies o occupy-ing powers. Te book remains asdistinctive today as when it wasrst published. It is the only broadwork on Aghan history thatconsiders ethnicity as the deninginuence over the course o the
countrys history, rather thanreligion. In light o todays ongo-ing struggle to develop a coherentnational identity, the questiono Aghan nationalism remainsa particularly signicant issue.
Until Gregorian came, Aghanistan
has in some ways been a country
in search o a scholar. Such a scholar
has now emerged in the person o
Vartan Gregorian whose Armenianancestry and education in rst-class
Middle Eastern and American
institutions uniquely equip him or
tackling the Aghan eld.

Te Failed Promise
o OriginalismFrank CrossTe primary point o the bookis an examination o the degreeto which originalism inuencesthe Courts decisions. Frank B.Cross tests this by examiningwhether originalism appearsto constrain the ideologicalpreerences o the justices, which
are a demonstrable predictor otheir decisions. Ultimately, hends that however theoreticallyappealing originalism may seem,the changed circumstancesover time and lack o reliableevidence means that its use isindeterminate and meaningless.
Tarr provides a plausible solution
to the particular ills o elected
judiciaries that does not requireeliminating them.

Te impartial administrationo justice and the account-ability o government ofcials
are two o the most stronglyheld American values. Yetthese values are oen in directconict with one another.
At the national level, the U.S.Constitution resolves thetension between these two
values in avor o judicialindependence. But at the statelevel, debate has continued asto the proper balance betweenjudicial independence andjudicial accountability. In thisvolume, arr ocuses squarelyon that debate. In part, theanalysis is historical: how havethe reigning conceptions ojudicial independence andaccountability emerged. Inpart, the analysis is theoretical:
what is the proper understand-ing o judicial independenceand accountability?

East Asian
National IdentitiesCommon Rootsand ChineseExceptionalismEdited by Gilbert Rozman
Tis rigorous comparativestudy o national identity inJapan, South Korea, and Chinaexamines countries with long
histories inuenced by Conu-cian thought, surging national-ism, and ar-reaching ambi-tions or regional importance.East Asian National Identitiescompares national identitiesin terms o six dimensionsencompassing ideology;history; the salience o cultural,political, and economic ac-
tors; superiority as a modelnational community; displace-ment o the U.S. in Asia; anddepth o national identity.
The six-dimensional analysis
oers a novel approach to the
study o national identity, and
the comparative study should
be commended.

Te second o Gilbert Rozmanscontributed volumes on East Asiannational identity traces how eortsto draw a sharp divide between onecountrys identity and that o anothershape relations in the post-ColdWar era. It examines the two-wayrelations o Japan, South Korea, andChina, introducing the concept o anational identity gap to estimate thedegree to which the identities o twocountries target each other as nega-
tive contrasts. Tis concept is thenapplied to Chinas reinterpretationrom 2009-11 o the gap betweenits identity and that o the UnitedStates. Each pairing represents a keyrelationship through which an Asiancountry has historically shaped itsidentity, and is striving to reshape it.
Invaluable to understanding how
dyadic relations across Northeast

so in the next decade or more.

Based on secret transcripts o top-level diplomacy undertaken by thenumber-two Soviet leader, AnastasMikoyan, to settle the Cuban MissileCrisis in 1962, this book rewritesconventional history. Te missileso October and 13 days were onlyhal the story: the nuclear crisis actu-ally stretched well into November1962 as the Soviets secretly plannedto leave behind in Cuba over 100 tac-tical nuclear weapons, then reversedthemselves because o obstreperousbehavior by Fidel Castro. Tehighly-charged negotiations with theCuban leadership, who bitterly eltsold out by Soviet concessions to theUnited States, were led by Mikoyan.
Te author, Sergo Mikoyan, whoserved as his athers personal
secretary during these travels, vividlyrecalls how the Soviet relationshipwith revolutionary Cuba began andhow it was shaped by the crisis.

Preventing a
BiochemicalArms RaceAlexander Kelle,Kathryn Nixdor, andMalcolm Dando
PreventingaBiochemicalArmsRace responds to a growingconcern that changes in thelie sciences and the nature
o warare could lead to aresurgent interest in chemicaland biological weapons(CBW) capabilities. By bring-ing together a wide range ohistorical material and currentliterature in the eld o CBWarms control, the book revealshow these two disparate eldsmight be integrated to precipi-
tate a biochemical arms raceamong major powers, roguestates, or even non-state actors.
This excellent book by top
experts links in-depth analysis
o the CBW prohibition re-
gimes with recent scholarship
on new wars, gives a critical
assessment o biodeense

Security Assurances
and NuclearNonprolierationEdited by Jerey W. Knop
While policy makers and schol-ars have long devoted consider-able attention to strategies likedeterrence, which threatenothers with unacceptableconsequences, such threat-based
strategies are not always thebest option. In some cases, astate may be better o seekingto give others a greater sense osecurity, rather than by holdingtheir security at risk. Te mostprominent use o these securityassurances has been in conjunc-tion with eorts to prevent thespread o nuclear weapons. Tisbook represents the rst studyto explore the overall utility oassurance strategies, to evaluatetheir eectiveness as a tool orpreventing nuclear prolieration,and to identiy conditionsunder which they are moreor less likely to be eective.
This sophisticated and detailed
study o security assurances
provides new insights into the
dynamics o nuclear prolieration
and non-prolieration.

Diversionary War
Domestic Unrest andInternational Conict
Amy Oakes
No book has so ar tackledthe key questions o whetherleaders deliberately provokeconicts abroad to distract thepublic rom problems at home,or whether such gambles oer
a more eective responseto domestic discontent thanappeasing opposition groupswith political or economicconcessions. DiversionaryWaraddresses these questions byreinterpreting key historicalexamples o diversionarywarsuch as Argentinas 1982Falklands Islands invasionand U.S. President JamesBuchanans decision to sendtroops to Mormon Utah in1857. It breaks new groundby demonstrating that the useo diversionary tactics is, atbest, an ineectual strategyor managing civil unrest,and draws important conclu-sions or policymakers.
Oakes presents an innovativetheoretical synthesis that has
real explanatory power.

on the growth o economicregionalism in East Asia bycomparing the current era withthe recent past in the region, bydrawing some comparisons withevidence rom the Europeanexperience, and by addressingthe increasingly prominent roleo China. It explores a varietyo security issues linked with
regional economic develop-ments, and discusses and evalu-ates leading theories that oerexplanations or the connectionbetween economic and securityaairs in international politics.
This is a rst-rate volume with
distinguished contributors writ-

Looking or Balance
China, the United States,and Power Balancing inEast Asia
Steve Chan
Debate surrounding Chinas rise,and the prospects o its possiblechallenge to Americas preemi-nence in international relationsin East Asia, has ocused on
two questions, rooted in power-balancing theory: whether theUnited States should containor engage China; and whetherthe rise o Chinese power hasinclined other East Asian statesto balance against Beijing byalignment with the United States.
By drawing on alternativetheoretic approaches, Steve Chan
is able to create an explana-tion o what is in motion inthe region that diers widelyrom the traditional strategic
vision o national interest.
Compellingly argues or serious
change in prevalent American or-
eign policy thinking about power
dynamics in world aairs, and
thus or how to deal with China
and East Asia. It should cool thezealots or additional U.S. pursuit
o military dominance in distant
regions.
