Wallace J. Thies, "Why Containment Works: Power, Proliferation, and Preventive War "
English | ISBN: 150174948X | 2020 | 240 pages | EPUB | 625 KB
Why Containment Works examines the conduct of American foreign policy during and after the Cold War through the lens of applied policy analysis. Wallace J. Thies argues that the Bush Doctrine after 2002 was a theory of victory―a coherent strategic view that tells a state how best to transform scarce resources into useful military assets, and how to employ those assets in conflicts. He contrasts prescriptions derived from the Bush Doctrine with an alternative theory of victory, one based on containment and deterrence, which US presidents employed for much of the Cold War period. There are, he suggests, multiple reasons for believing that containment was working well against Saddam Hussein's Iraq after the first Gulf War and that there was no need to invade Iraq in 2003.

English | ISBN: 0826521665 | 2017 | 232 pages | EPUB | 1045 KB
Every politically sentient American knows that Congress has been dominated by special interests, and many people do not remember a time when Congress legislated in the public interest. In the 1960s and '70s, however, lobbyists were aggressive but were countered by progressive senators and representatives, as several books have documented.

Christian Lo, "When politics meets bureaucracy: Rules, norms, conformity and cheating "
English | ISBN: 1526136686 | 2021 | 208 pages | EPUB | 395 KB
This book follows the perspectives of high-level municipal bureaucrats and local politician through a wide range of policy processes in two small Norwegian municipalities. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the book offers a novel perspective on central themes from the governance literature. Most of all, the ethnographic accounts of political and administrative practices are used to demonstrate how processes of hierarchical government and broader processes of governance become inextricably intertwined during policy processes, and how horizontal alignments can modify the hierarchal logic of bureaucratic structures. Lo draws on perspectives from political science, sociology and anthropology to understand the cultural and historical conditions that inform this intertwinement. This broad approach makes the book relevant for a wide audience of students and scholars interested in the inner workings of bureaucratic organisations.

For twenty-six years, civil war tore Sri Lanka apart. Despite numerous peace talks, cease-fires, and external military and diplomatic pressure, war raged on between the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the Sinhala-dominated Sri Lankan government. Then, in 2009, the Sri Lankan military defeated the insurgents. The win was unequivocal, but the terms of victory were not. The first successful counterinsurgency campaign of the twenty-first century left the world with many questions. How did Sri Lanka ultimately win this seemingly intractable war? Will other nations facing insurgencies be able to adopt Sri Lanka's methods without encountering accusations of human rights violations?
