tHe ambigUities of eXPerienCeJames G. march

“March is a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For decades March, perhaps the wisest philosopher of management, has illuminated how humans think and be-have, and he continues to do so in this book. He begins by reminding us of just how deeply beholden we have become, in our organizational lives, to the idea of experiential learn-ing. The problem is that learning from experience involves serious complications, ones that are intrinsic to the nature of experience itself and which are explored in the body of this book. Though this book is short, it is challenging: Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to ponder your assumptions about learning from experience in work and life. The rewards are here.”

HierarCHy in international relationsdavid a. laKe

“What distinguishes the various forms of hierarchy, from co-lonialism to modern alliances, is the amount of sovereignty signed over to the leading state. Lake uses this insight to ex-plore patterns of U.S.-led hierarchy in the security and economic realms, relying on measures such as the presence of U.S. mili-tary bases, exchange-rate linkages, and trade dependence.”

“Beyond carefully revealing how globalization refracts through domestic political economies, the book is also a model for the-oretically informed, cross-regional comparative analysis and should find its way into central theoretical debates in interna-tional political economy, comparative politics, and the politics of banking, as well as ongoing controversies over the optimal roles of states and markets in development.”

“Especially when discussing the Cold War period, this work is an important contribution to the understanding of the history of multilateral cooperation in the region. It usefully complements rational theorizing, as well as the usual explanations of why ASEAN is so weakly institutionalized: incomplete processes of nation-building (for instance in Cambodia and Timor-Leste); in-tra-ASEAN dissonances (for instance about the future regional role of the United States and China, and contested territorialities in the South China Sea); and the vast economic, social, cultural and political differences between the countries.”

“States’ Gains, Labor’s Losses is an ambitious, original, and im-portant book. Solinger carefully examines the evolution of la-bor relations across three very different countries in response to heightened exposure to global economic forces. The book not only offers compelling insights for the study of political econo-my and industrial relations but also demonstrates the utility of cross-regional comparative analysis.”

“In Why Intelligence Fails, Jervis examines two important U.S. intelligence lapses and tries to account for what went awry. After both, the CIA hired Jervis—a longtime student of international affairs—to help the agency sort out its mistakes. He thus brings an invaluable perspective as a smart outsider with sufficient in-side access to appraise the agency’s blind spots.”

“Koblentz provides an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of biological weapons as a strategic problem that should become the standard text in the field. The book draws lessons about in-telligence, verification, and oversight, and also about what strate-gic value the offending countries sought to extract by pursuing such weapons. Through a careful examination of actual cases, Koblentz has done his best to get the true measure of the bioter-rorist threat.”—foreign affairs

“Greenhill’s Weapons of Mass Migration shines a bright light on strategically engineered migration. And this is, unfortunately, no minor issue. Greenhill gives the subject the attention it deserves, skillfully unpacks why some states engage in forced migration while others do not, discovers interesting theoretical twists, and derives tractable policy recommendations.”

“Toward the end of his career, the great Yale political scientist Charles Lindblom advised us to abandon the hopeless pursuit of scientific ‘laws’ and ‘discoveries’ and instead concentrate on what we can indeed do well: correcting the discipline’s own errors and getting the facts straight. Hertog does both with consummate style and skill in Princes, Brokers, and Bureaucrats.”

“Evolving Nationalism is a delight. It will make a significant con-tribution to nationalist theory, moving it from some of its over-determined and too-pat explanations and to an understanding of the history of Israel. I found Shelef’s approach very persuasive and his use of evidence judicious and convincing.”
