In the second halfofthe 1990s, Stuart Eizenstat had perhaps the most controversial assignment of any U.S. foreign policy official in Europe. His mission had nothing to do with Russia,the Middle East, Yugoslavia, or any of the other hotspots of the day. Rather, Eizenstat's mission was to provide justice--albeit belated and imperfect justice--for the victims of World War II,while maintaining positive diplomatic relations with the nations being asked to pay. Imperfect Justice is Stuart Eizenstat's personal account of how the Holocaust became a political and diplomatic battleground fifty years after the war's end,as the issues of dormant bank accounts,slave labor,confiscated property,looted art,and unpaid insurance policies convulsed Europe and America.His story is not one of easy successes or an idyllic view of justice.Rather it is a revealing chronicle of high-stakes negotiations involving heads of European governments,played out on an international stage in an emotionally charged atmosphere,with a subtext

After nearly a dozen books and service as secretary of statefor presidents Nixon and Ford, Kissinger has established himself asa major thinker, writer, and actor on the world's diplomatic stage.His newest work is a remarkable survey of the craft ofinternational relations from the early 17th century to the presentera. Beginning with the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, Kissingersummarizes three centuries of Western diplomacy, giving specialattenton to the influence of Wilsonian idealism on 20th-centuryAmerican foreign policy. He is not shy about describing his owncontributions to Nixon's foreign gambits, nor is he reticient aboutoffering his own advice to the current administration on how tohandle Russia, China, or the rest of the world. From Kissinger welearn that there is really little new about the New World Order.This is an important contribution to the theoretical literature onforeign affairs and will also serve quite ably as a one-volumesynthesis of modern diplomatic history. All libraries should havethi
In the era of Kennedy and Khrushchev, power was expressed interms of nuclear missiles, industrial capacity, numbers of menunder arms, and tanks lined up ready to cross the plains of EasternEurope. By 2010, none of these factors confer power in the sameway: industrial capacity seems an almost Victorian virtue, andcyber threats are wielded by non-state actors. Politics changed,and the nature of power—defined as the ability to affect others toobtain the outcomes you want—had changed dramatically. Power is notstatic; its story is of shifts and innovations, technologies andrelationships. Joseph Nye is a long-time analyst of power and a hands-onpractitioner in government. Many of his ideas have been at theheart of recent debates over the role America should play in theworld: his concept of "soft power" has been adopted by leaders fromBritain to China; "smart power” has been adopted as thebumper-sticker for the Obama Administration’s foreign policy. Thisbook is the summation of his work, as relevant to gene

The twenty-first century has brought a renewed interest indemocratic theory and practices, creating a complicatedrelationship between time-honoured democratic traditions and newforms of political participation. Reflecting on this interplaybetween tradition and innovation, Aletta J. Norval offers freshinsights into the global complexities of the formation ofdemocratic subjectivity, the difficult emergence and articulationof political claims, the constitution of democratic relationsbetween citizens and the deepening of our democratic imagination.Aversive Democracy draws inspiration from a critical engagementwith deliberative and post-structuralist models of democracy,whilst offering a distinctive reading inspired by contemporary workon the later Wittgenstein. This is a creative and insightful workwhich reorients democratic theory, elucidating the character of thecommitments we engage in when we participate in democratic lifetogether.
