Introduction to Politics

political science is for everybody: an introduction to political scienceamy l. atchison (Valparaiso University)

Spring 2021 / 7.5 x 9.25 / paper / 336 pp / 9781487523909US & CDN $79.95 / eBook $63.95

political science is for everybody is the first intersectionality-mainstreamed textbook written for introductory political science courses. While political science and politics are for everybody,

political institutions (and the discipline of political science) are neither neutral nor unbiased. When we write political science textbooks that obscure the differences in how groups experience and interact with political institutions, we do students a disservice.

This book exposes students to these differences while also bringing marginalized voices to the fore in political science, allowing more students to see their lived experiences reflected in the pages of their political science textbook. Bringing together a diverse group of contributors, political science is for everybody teaches all the basics of political science while showing that representation matters, both in politics and in the political science classroom.

Theory and Methods

NEW! What Is Democracy and How Do We Study It?Edited by Cameron D. Anderson and Laura B. Stephenson (both at Western University)


There are many different ways to do political science research. This book takes a core question that motivates research in political science – what is democracy? – and presents, in a single volume, original research demonstrating a variety of approaches to studying it. The

approaches and related methods include normative political theory, positivist quantitative analysis, behaviouralism, critical theory, post-structuralism, historical institutionalism, process tracing, case studies, and literature reviews.

NEW! Democracy and Constitutions: Putting Citizens First Allan C. Hutchinson (York University)

Fall 2020 / 6 x 9 / paper / 160 pp / 9781487507930US & CDN $24.95 / eBook $24.95

Engaging and provocative, Democracy and Constitutions charts a course away from the elitism of the present and toward a more democratic future, one that re-balances society’s commitment to both democracy and constitutions. Advocating for a strong democracy and weak constitutionalism, this book places ordinary people at the institutional heart of government and politics, arguing that such a

re-calibration is better for democracy and for society.

The Democratic Imagination: Envisioning Popular Power in the Twenty-First CenturyJames Cairns (Wilfrid Laurier University, Brantford) and Alan Sears (Ryerson University)

2012 / 6 x 9 / paper / 224 pp / 9781442605282 US & CDN $27.95 / eBook $24.95

Democracy is very much an open question in the early twenty-first century. While voter participation declines in many traditional democracies, new movements for democracy are emerging around the world. This book brings the question of democracy out of the halls of political power and home to our daily lives, pitting “official democracy”

and “democracy from below” against one another in a lively debate.

Theory and Methods

NEW! A History of Political Thought: Property, Labour, and Commerce from Plato to PikettyJeffrey Bercuson (Seneca College)


A History of Political Thought is an accessible introduction to the history of political and economic thought. Its main focus is the rise, and eventual consolidation, of modern market society. It asks: What

are the effects of private property and commerce on individual well-being and on the stability of the political community? The author answers this central question through the careful study of political philosophers and economists, from ancient Greece to the twenty-first century.

NEW! Creating Spaces of Engagement: Policy Justice and the Practical Craft of Deliberative DemocracyEdited by Leah R.E. Levac (University of Guelph) and Sarah Marie Wiebe (University of Hawai’i, Manoa)


Drawing upon public engagement case studies, sites of inquiry, and vignettes, this volume raises and responds to questions about the

nature and role of “the public” while advancing policy justice as a framework for public engagement and public policy. Stretching the boundaries of deliberative democracy in theory and practice, Creating Spaces of Engagement offers critical reflections on how diverse publics are engaged in policy processes.

2019 / 6 x 9 / cloth / 160 pp / 9781487605841 US & CDN $34.95 / eBook $34.95

At a time when social scientists are increasingly focusing on the reasons why nations fail and democracies die, Filippo Sabetti turns to the opposite argument, asking instead why institutions endure. To do so, he presents Gasparo Contarini’s sixteenth-century account of The

Republic of Venice to help modern readers understand what made Venice the longest-lived self-constituted republic.

Gender and Politics

NEW!

Turbulent Times, Transformational Possibilities?: Gender and Politics Today and TomorrowEdited by Fiona MacDonald (University of the Fraser Valley) and Alexandra Dobrowolsky (Saint Mary’s University)


In Canada and elsewhere, recent political, economic, and social shifts have brought gender to the forefront of politics as never before, from gender-based analyses and “feminist budgets” to the #MeToo, Idle No More, and Black Lives Matter movements. Detailing these gendered and turbulent political times, this book features state-of-the art scholarship from diverse contributors that encompasses both contemporary challenges as well as avenues for change now and into the future. This collection represents a complex treatment of both gender and politics, in which gender is examined in light of other collective identities and their intersections and politics refers to both institutional and movement and countermovement politics.

Global Studies

NEW! The Conflict over the Conflict: The Israel/Palestine Campus DebateBy Kenneth S. Stern (Bard Center for the Study of Hate) Foreword by Nadine Strossen

2020 / 6 x 9 / cloth / 296 pp / 9781487507367US & CDN $29.95 / eBook $29.95

The Conflict over the Conflict chronicles one of the most divisive and toxic issues on today’s college and university campuses: Israel/Palestine. In this passionate book, Kenneth S. Stern examines

attempts from each side to censor the other at a time when some say students, rather than being challenged to wrestle with difficult issues and ideas, are being quarantined from them. According to Stern, the campus is the best place to mine this conflict and our intense views about it to help future generations do what they are supposed to do: think. The Conflict over the Conflict shows how this is possible.

approach encourages students to view the world from outside the Western box.

Politics of Inequality

Seeking Equality: The Political Economy of the Common Good in the United States and Canada John Harles (Messiah College)


Seeking Equality compares economic inequality and social mobility in the United States and Canada. The author surveys in considerable detail what is known about inequality in both countries and explores the policy decisions that have influenced economic outcomes. He also discusses why a yawning gap between the very rich and the rest

should be a cause for civic anxiety – and what can be done about it.

The Myth of the Age of Entitlement: Millennials, Austerity, and HopeJames Cairns (Wilfrid Laurier University, Brantford)


In The Myth of the Age of Entitlement, Cairns peels back the layers of the entitlement myth, exposing its faults and arguing that the majority of millennials face bleak economic prospects and potential ecological disaster. Providing insights from millennials rarely profiled in the mainstream media, he offers a different understanding of

entitlement as a fundamental concept for realizing economic and environmental justice.

The Inequality Trap: Fighting Capitalism Instead of PovertyWilliam Watson (McGill University)

2015 / 6 x 9 / cloth / 240 pp / 9781442637245US & CDN $37.95 / eBook $37.95

In The Inequality Trap, Watson argues that focusing on inequality is both an error and a trap. It is an error because much inequality is “good” (the reward for thrift, industry, and invention) and a trap

because it leads us to fixate on the top end of the income distribution, rather than on those at the bottom who need help most.


Human Rights

RECENTLY PUBLISHED

The United Nations Genocide Convention: An IntroductionSamuel Totten (University of Arkansas) and Henry Theriault (Worcester State University)

The United Nations Genocide Convention: An Introduction provides students with a comprehensive, cogent text, to help them understand

the unique wording, legal terminology, and key components of the UNCG.

The Institutions of Human Rights: Developments and Practices Edited by Gordon DiGiacomo (University of Ottawa) and Susan L. Kang (City University of New York)


The Institutions of Human Rights is a contributed volume designed for human rights courses that take a global perspective. Unlike many texts

in this area, which tend to be structured by history, theory, institutions, and specific human rights issues, this book focuses explicitly on particular human rights institutions, including the UN Human Rights Council, the International Labour Organization, the International Criminal Court, and the European Court of Human Rights. The chapters describe what these institutions are and how they work, arguing that a thorough understanding of human rights institutions is key to understanding contemporary human rights as a political practice.

Marie Olson Lounsbery (East Carolina University) and Frederic Pearson (Wayne State University)

present a comprehensive analysis of the causes, consequences, and management potential of civil wars throughout the world.

Global Horizons: An Introduction to International Relations

Hendrik Spruyt (Northwestern University)


Rather than survey a large array of issues and theories, Global Horizons provides students with particular “tools of the trade” and different perspectives to understand given empirical puzzles. Each section of the book discusses key theories, which may be useful in

understanding the issues in question, and then applies them to empirical cases in order to demonstrate how theory relates to practice.

Power, Money, and Trade: Decisions that Shape Global Economic Relations

Mark R. Brawley (McGill University)


Power, Money, and Trade is an introduction to international relations that presents the theories and paradigms of IR in the contexts of trade, investment, and monetary relations. It does so largely by

developing historical cases of pivotal events in the evolution of the IPE – including Britain’s repeal of the Corn Laws, the creation and collapse of the Bretton Woods system, and Germany’s role in the European Monetary Union – to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of these theories.

The Politics of Globalization: Gaining Perspective, Assessing Consequences

Mark R. Brawley (McGill University)


This book explores the political dimensions of globalization, considering different definitions of the term as well as several specific globalizing processes. While much of the emphasis is on political

changes wrought by economic trends such as trade and international capital flows, other forces such as cultural changes, issues of identity, and so on are also involved.

Lessons from Latin America: Innovations in Politics, Culture, and DevelopmentFelipe Arocena (University of the Republic, Uruguay) and Kirk Bowman (Georgia Tech University)


Since the early 1980s, Latin American countries have been innovative in a range of policy and cultural experiences, including health care, voting, pensions, and multiculturalism. And yet, their policy innovations are rarely found in textbooks. This book provides a fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of both the history of

“looking down” at Latin America and the political, economic, and cultural “lessons” (including successes, failures, and unintended consequences) that should inform important policy discussions around the world.

US Politics

Dirty Hands and Vicious Deeds: The U.S. Government’s Complicity in Crimes against Humanity and Genocide Edited by Samuel Totten (University of Arkansas-Fayetteville)


This collection of original essays, edited by renowned genocide scholar Samuel Totten, shows how the United States government repeatedly aided certain regimes as they planned and then carried out crimes against humanity and genocide. The cases include Indonesia,

Bangladesh, Chile, East Timor, Argentina, Guatemala, and Rwanda. The inclusion of actual declassified documents demonstrates for students how the fate of human lives is discussed at the highest levels of government.

Fighting for Credibility: US Reputation and International Politics Frank P. Harvey (Dalhousie University) and John Mitton (University of Southern California)


Fighting for Credibility explores the significance of America’s reputation for toughness and its credibility abroad. The authors argue that ignoring the importance of international reputation sidesteps critical factors about how adversaries perceive threats. Focusing on cases of

asymmetric US encounters with smaller powers since the end of the Cold War, including Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Syria, the authors reveal that reputation matters in international politics.

NEW! Solved: How the World’s Great Cities Are Fixing the Climate CrisisBy David Miller (C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group) Foreword by Bill McKibben

Fall 2020 / 6 x 9 / cloth / 248 pp / 9781487506827US & CDN $29.95 / eBook $29.95

Solved demonstrates that initiatives in cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Oslo, Shenzhen, Melbourne, and beyond can make a significant difference in reducing global emissions if implemented

worldwide. As much a “how to” guide for policymakers as a work for concerned citizens, Solved aims to inspire hope through its clear and factual analysis of what can be done – now, today – to mitigate our harmful emissions and pave the way to a 1.5-degree world.

NEW! Lead for the Planet: Five Practices for Confronting Climate ChangeBy Rae André (Northeastern University)


Lead for the Planet outlines five practices that successful climate leaders will need to adopt, from getting the truth about the state of the planet, to assessing the risks and identifying the interests of key stakeholders, to implementing change within and between

organizations and sectors on a global scale. Building on her experience as an organizational psychologist, and channeling a broad range of social science perspectives, Rae André shows how these practices comprise an effective model for climate leadership.

NEW! The New Climate Activism: NGO Authority and Participation in Climate Change GovernanceBy Jen Iris Allan (Cardiff University)


In The New Climate Activism, Jen Iris Allan looks at why and how social activists come to participate in climate change governance while others, such as those working on human rights and health, remain on the outside of climate activism. Through case studies of

women’s rights, labour, alter-globalization, health, and human rights activism, Allan shows that some activists seek and successfully gain recognition as part of climate change governance, while others remain marginalized.

This story seeks to inspire readers

with the latest carbon utilization technologies and explain how they fit within the broader context of carbon mitigation strategies in the shift towards a sustainable energy economy.
