Dominance by Design: Michael Adas; Long before the United States became a major force in global affairs, Americans believed in their superiority over others because of their inventiveness, productivity, and economic and social well-being. U.S. expansionists assumed a mandate to "civilize" non-Western peoples by demanding submission to American technological prowess and design.

Independent Belarus: Margarita M. Balmaceda, Editor; James I. Clem, Editor; Lisbeth L. Tarlow, Editor; The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 ushered in a period of democratization and market reform extending across the East-Central European region, with one important exception: Belarus. Ironically, Belarus's fledgling attempts at democracy produced a leader who has suspended the post-Soviet constitution and its institutions and created a personal dictatorship.

Islands of Agreement: Gabriella Blum; We are culturally conditioned to think of war and peace in binary terms of strict opposition, tending to focus on conflict prevention or resolution. But as this book demonstrates, war and peace are increasingly coexisting entities.

The result is a shift in perspective from constricting binaries toward a more holistic approach of relationship management.; Hardcover 2007

James Duncan Campbell: Robert Ronald Campbell; Paperback 1970

Jealousy of Trade: Istvan Hont; This collection explores eighteenth-century theories of international market competition that continue to be relevant for the twenty-first century.

A New Deal for the World: Elizabeth Borgwardt; In a work of sweeping scope and luminous detail, Elizabeth Borgwardt describes how a cadre of World War II American planners inaugurated the ideas and institutions that underlie our modern international human rights regime. Borgwardt finds the key in the 1941 Atlantic Charter and its Anglo-American vision of "war and peace aims."

Old World, New Horizons: Edward Heath; The effort to achieve greater European unity has absorbed the interests and energies of a number of Europeans and Americans since the end of World War II.

On the Law of Nations: Daniel Patrick Moynihan; As the era of totalitarianism recedes, the time is at hand to ask by what rules we expect to conduct ourselves, Senator Moynihan writes in this pellucid, and often ironic, examination of international law.

War Memory and Social Politics in Japan, 1945-2005: Franziska Seraphim; Japan has long wrestled with the memories of World War II. Franziska Seraphim traces the activism of five civic organizations to examine the ways in which diverse organized memories have secured legitimate niches within the public sphere.
