Michael Storper published « Keys to the City: How Economics, Institutions, Social Interaction, and Politics Shape Development »

Keys to the City: How Economics, Institutions, Social Interaction, and Politics Shape Development by Michael Storper May 2013, Princeton University Press Why do some cities grow economically while others decline? Why do some show sustained economic performance while others cycle up and down? In Keys to the City, Michael Storper, one of the world’s leading economic geographers, looks at why we should consider economic development issues within a regional context–at the level of the city-region–and why urban economies develop unequally. Storper identifies four contexts that [...]

« Routledge Handbook of Modern Israel », edited by Alain Dieckhoff

Routledge Handbook of Modern Israel Edited by Alain Dieckhoff Routledge, February 2013 Israel is a country made up of contradictions. A lively democracy in a multicultural society but within a state promoting a strong national identity; a thriving economy in an unequal society; a culture open to modern trends but drawing on the Hebrew past and preoccupied with the Holocaust and the Arab-Israeli conflict; a sovereign member in the international arena, whose existence is still contested in the Middle East. The Routledge Handbook of Modern Israelprovides a comprehensive profile of the [...]

« Tocqueville: The Aristocratic Sources of Liberty » by Lucien Jaume

Tocqueville: The Aristocratic Sources of Liberty Lucien Jaume Translated by Arthur Goldhammer Princeton University Press Many American readers like to regard Alexis de Tocqueville as an honorary American and democrat–as the young French aristocrat who came to early America and, enthralled by what he saw, proceeded to write an American book explaining democratic America to itself. Yet, as Lucien Jaume argues in this acclaimed intellectual biography, Democracy in America is best understood as a French book. For Tocqueville, America was a mirror for France, a way for Tocqueville to [...]

Riva Kastoryano ed. « Turkey between Nationalism and Globalization »

Turkey between Nationalism and Globalization Edited by Riva Kastoryano Routledge January 2013 Turkish society has been going through institutional and ideological change that has affected its social, cultural and political practices. This book examines these contemporary tensions, which have led to a re-appraisal of Turkey as a nation and Turkish nationalism as it tries to situate itself as a regional and global power. Analysing the internal and external dynamics of Turkey and the role played by nationalism, this book considers how the understanding of the nation and nationalism has changed [...]

Ariel Colonomos publishes « The Gamble of War : Is it Possible to Justify Preventive War? »

The Gamble of War  : Is it Possible to Justify Preventive War? par Ariel Colonomos Macmillan, February 2013 With the new millennium, prevention has become a popular doctrine in international politics. One of its most noticeable features is that democracies become inclined to strike first. In the US, it has served as the banner of the neo–conservative movement but it also gathered support from some liberals. It has also inspired several Israeli interventions. Does the preventive use of force meet the normative criteria that prevail or should prevail in a democratic system? Or does it [...]

Citizens’ Reactions to European Integration Compared Overlooking Europe

Citizens’ Reactions to European Integration Compared Overlooking Europe Edited by Sophie Duchesne, Elizabeth Frazer, Florence Haegel and Virginie Van Ingelgom Palgrave Macmilla, February 2013 What do citizens say about Europe? Before the crisis of 2008 citizens in Britain, France and Francophone Belgium were ‘overlooking’ Europe by ignoring it in favour of globalisation, economic flows, and crises of political corruption. Innovative focus group methods allow analysis of the nature of their reactions and positions, and demonstrate how euroscepticism is a red herring. Instead [...]

Economic Patriotism in Open Economies

Economic Patriotism in Open Economies Edited by Ben Clift, Cornelia Woll November 2012,  Routledge The recent financial crisis has demonstrated that governments continuously seek to steer their economies rather than leaving them to free markets. Despite the ambitions of international economic cooperation, such interventionism is decidedly local. Some politicians even proudly evoke « economic patriotism » to justify their choices. This volume links such populism to a specific set of tensions – the paradox of neo-liberal democracy – and argues that the phenomenon is [...]

European Integration From Nation-States to Member States

European Integration.From Nation-States to Member States by Christopher J. Bickerton, professor at PSIA and researcher at CERI Oxford University Press European integration confuses citizens and scholars alike. It appears to transfer power away from national capitals towards Brussels yet a close study of the EU reveals the absence of any real leap towards supranationalism. The EU is dominated by cooperation between national representatives and national officials yet it continually appears to us as something external and separate from national political life. This book takes on these paradoxes [...]
