The Brookings Institution is a private nonprofit organization devoted to research, education, and publication on important issues of domestic and foreign policy. Its principal purpose is to bring the highest quality independent research and analysis to bear on current and emerging policy problems and to offer practical approaches to those problems in language aimed at the general public.
In its conferences, publications, and other activities, Brookings serves as a bridge between scholarship and policymaking, bringing new knowledge to the attention of decisionmakers and affording scholars greater insight into public policy issues. The Institution’s activities are carried out through five core research programs (Economic Studies, Foreign Policy, Governance Studies, Metropolitan Policy, and Global Economy and Development), as well as through the Brookings Institution Press, which publishes about forty books annually.

Beirut 1958HOW AMERICA’S WARS IN THE
MIDDLE EAST BEGAN
Bruce Riedel
In July 1958, U.S. Marines stormed the beaches of Beirut, Lebanon, ready for combat. They were greeted by vendors and sunbathers. The rest of their mission—to help end Lebanon’s first civil war—went nearly as smoothly, thanks in large part to the skillful work of American diplomats, who helped arrange a compromise solution. Future American interventions in the region would not work out quite as well.
Bruce Riedel’s new book recounts the almost forgotten story of the first U.S. combat operation in the Middle East. President Eisenhower sent in the Marines in the wake of a bloody coup in Iraq, a seismic event that altered the politics of the entire region. Eisenhower feared that the coup threatened American interests in the Middle East.
Eisenhower’s intervention in Lebanon and his behind-the-scenes diplomacy hold important lessons for today’s policymakers as they seek to deal with the challenges in the Middle East. Veteran analyst Bruce Riedel unpacks the experiences of decades past to see what guidance they may offer to today’s decisionmakers. A key lesson? Not to rush to judgment when surprised by the unexpected. And don’t assume the worst.
BRUCE RIEDEL is the director of the Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institution and a senior fellow at the Center for Middle East Studies. He has extensive service with the Central Intelligence Agency, including postings in the Middle East and Europe.

The DissidentsA MEMOIR OF WORKING WITH THE RESISTANCE IN RUSSIA, 1960–1990
Peter Reddaway
It has been nearly three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union—enough time for the role of the courageous dissidents who helped contributed to the communist system’s demise to have been largely forgotten, especially in the West. This book brings to life for contemporary readers the underground work of the men and women who opposed the regime and authored dissident texts that exposed the tyrannies and weaknesses of the Soviet state.
Peter Reddaway spent decades studying the Soviet Union and got to know these dissidents and their work, publicizing their writings in the West and helping some of them escape the Soviet Union and settle abroad. In this memoir he captures the human costs of the repression that marked the Soviet state, focusing in particular on the life and work of Pavel Litvinov, Larisa Bogoraz, General Petro Grigorenko, Anatoly Marchenko, Alexander Podrabinek, Vyacheslav Bakhmin, and Andrei Sinyavsky. His book contextualizes their writing in relation to the power struggles in the Kremlin, which had enormous import for Soviet dissidents.

Fateful TriangleHOW CHINA SHAPED U.S.-INDIA
RELATIONS DURING THE COLD WAR
Tanvi Madan
In this Asian century, the outcome of the geopolitical rivalry between China and India is of increasing concern. Where once the U.S. developed separate relationships with each of the two Asian giants, those relations now appear to be intertwined. A major issue is China’s growing global influence and how it might alter the dynamics among the three nations.
In Fateful Triangle, Tanvi Madan argues that China’s influence on the U.S.-India relationship is not a recent phenomenon. Rather, U.S. and Indian perceptions of and policy toward China significantly shaped U.S.-India relations in three crucial decades, from 1949 to 1979. Fateful Triangle updates our understanding of the diplomatic history of U.S.-India relations, highlighting China’s central role in it, and provides historical context for the interactions among the three countries.
TANVI MADAN is a fellow in the Foreign Policy program at the Brookings Institution, where she specializes in Indian foreign policy.

Democracies DividedTHE GLOBAL CHALLENGE OF POLITICAL POLARIZATION
edited by Thomas Carothers and Andrew O’Donohue
Severe political polarization, part of the global democratic recession, is increasingly afflicting old and new democracies alike, eroding democratic norms and exacerbating societal unrest. Democracies Divided offers a comparative analysis of this troubling global phenomenon, presenting in-depth case studies of countries as different as Brazil, India, Kenya, Poland, Turkey, and the United States. The case study authors are a diverse group of country and regional experts, each with deep local knowledge and experience.
In nearly every case examined, political entrepreneurs have exploited and exacerbated long-simmering divisions for their own purposes, in the process undermining prospects for democratic consensus and productive governance. But the book is not simply a diagnosis of what has gone wrong. Each case study discusses actions that concerned citizens and organizations are taking to counter polarizing forces, whether through reforms to political parties, institutions, or the media. The book’s editors distill from the case studies a range of possible ways to restore consensus and defeat polarization in the world’s democracies.

Terms of DisserviceHOW SILICON VALLEY IS DESTRUCTIVE BY DESIGN
Dipayan Ghosh
In just a few decades, high technology has transformed the world, making vast quantities of information available to billions of people and reshaping businesses, institutions, and entire economies. But it is also exacerbating deep social and political divisions in society. Elections influenced by fake news and unscrupulous hidden actors, the vacuuming up of private information by Silicon Valley behemoths, ongoing threats to vital infrastructure from terrorist groups and even foreign governments—all these activities attack the social fabric and are certain to become increasingly serious in the future.
In this book, Dipayan Ghosh, a former Facebook public policy adviser who went on to assist President Obama on technology matters, offers practical ideas for using technology to create an open and accessible world that protects all consumers and civilians. Providing clear explanations of the complex issues lying at the nexus of technology and the individual or society, Terms of Disservice should prove a useful guide for industry leaders, policymakers, and members of the general public concerned to ensure that high tech works for everyone, not just Silicon Valley.

The Iranian Revolution at FortySuzanne Maloney, editor
Iran’s 1979 Revolution is one of the most important events of the late twentieth century. The overthrow of the Western-leaning shah and the emergence of a unique religious government reshaped Iran, dramatically shifted the balance of power in the Middle East, and generated serious challenges to the global geopolitical order—challenges that continue to this day. The revolution also precipitated a calamitous war between Iran and Iraq and an expansion of the U.S. military’s role in maintaining security in the Persian Gulf.
Forty years after the revolution, more than two dozen experts look back on the rise of the Islamic Republic and explore the ongoing significance of the events of 1979. The contributors consider whether the promises of the revolution have been borne out, the impact of clerical rule on ordinary Iranians, Iran’s continuing antagonism toward the United States, and the repercussions of the revolution not only for Iran’s immediate neighborhood but for the broader Middle East as well.
SUZANNE MALONEY is deputy director of the Foreign Policy program at the Brookings Institution and a senior fellow with the Brookings Center for Middle East Policy. She has advised both Republican and Democratic administrations on Iran and the Middle East.

Reluctant WarriorsGERMANY, JAPAN, AND THEIR
U.S. ALLIANCE DILEMMA
Alexandra Sakaki, Hanns W. Maull, Kerstin Lukner, Ellis S. Krauss, and Thomas U. Berger
Since the end of World War II, Germany and Japan have been the most reluctant of all major U.S. allies to take on military responsibilities. But with the resurgence of a belligerent Russia under Vladimir Putin, the steady rise of an increasingly assertive China, and North Korea’s worrisome acquisition of nuclear weapons, the roles Japan and Germany could play in international security have become increasingly important.
Partly in response to these developments, Germany and Japan have recently increased their defense spending and taken on a somewhat broader range of military missions. Nonetheless, because of their post–World War II cultures of anti-militarism, both countries are reluctant to assume more responsibility for upholding regional or even global peace through force projection. The United States, should it make too simplistic a demand for the countries to “do more,” would incur certain risks to its own economy and national security.

INSIGHTS Critical Thinking on International Affairs
A Middle East Free of Weapons of Mass DestructionA NEW APPROACH TO NONPROLIFERATION
Seyed Hossein Mousavian and Emad Kiyaei
For decades, there has been talk about creating a nuclear weapons–free zone in the Middle East, more recently expanded to a WMD-free zone (encompassing nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons). In this book, two experts from the region explore why the talk has not yet translated into action, and outline an achievable roadmap for that action.
The authors acknowledge that the Middle East is characterized by perpetual instability and deep-rooted mistrust; the region’s leaders seem unlikely to forsake any weapons systems. However, inaction is not an option, nor is the use of WMDs the only issue that must be dealt with if the region is to avoid mass destruction. In addition to guidelines for establishing a WMD-free zone, the authors propose several confidence-building and verification measures, which should gradually create trust among the region’s stakeholders, enabling them to move along a path that might otherwise appear unrealistic.

He formerly served as head of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Iranian National Security Council and was a spokesman for Iran during nuclear negotiations with the EU.

Nuclear Weapons and American Grand StrategyFrancis J. Gavin
The world first confronted the power of nuclear weapons when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. The global threat of these weapons deepened in the following decades as more advanced weapons, aggressive strategies, and new nuclear powers emerged. Countless publications since then have tried to explain the so-called nuclear revolution.
Francis J. Gavin argues that many key issues related to nuclear weapons are poorly understood. Questions such as how and why the United States chose its nuclear strategies, whether nuclear deterrence works, and whether nuclear weapons make the world safer or more dangerous warrant much better scrutiny and informed understanding. These questions matter because the nuclear threat is returning as a genuine possibility. Emerging technologies and shifting great power rivalries may be pointing toward a new type of cold war, just three decades after the end of the U.S.-Soviet conflict.
Nuclear Weapons and American Grand Strategy should help inform policymakers wrestling with the latest challenges in U.S. security policy and foreign policy.

Economic Inequality and Morality
DIVERSE ETHICAL PERSPECTIVES
edited by Richard Madsen and William M. Sullivan
Rising inequality has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years from scholars and politicians, but the moral dimensions of inequality tend to be ignored. Is inequality morally acceptable? Is it morally permissible to allow practices and systems that contribute to inequality? Is there an ethical obligation to try to alleviate inequality, and if so, who is obligated to take that action?
This book addresses these and similar questions through a comparative study of ethical traditions, both secular and religious, Western and non-Western. The moral and political traditions considered are liberalism, Marxism, natural law, feminism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and Confucianism. The types of inequality examined include property, natural resources, products, wealth, income, jobs, and taxation. The editors’ introduction provides information on contemporary dimensions of the problem of economic inequality.
Economic Inequality and Morality is unusual in that it addresses similarities and differences on the question of inequality within and across moral traditions. The contributors address a common set of topic-related questions, providing a broad perspective on how a range of traditions view and respond to inequality.

Leave No One BehindTIME FOR SPECIFICS ON THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
edited by Homi Kharas, John W. McArthur, and Izumi Ohno
The ambitious fifteen-year agenda known as the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015 by all members of the United Nations, contains a pledge that “no one will be left behind.” This book aims to translate that bold global commitment into an action-oriented perspective focused on supporting specific people in specific places who are facing specific problems.
In this book, experts from Japan, the United States, and other countries address a range of challenges faced by people across the globe, including women and girls, smallholder farmers, migrants, and those living in extreme poverty. These are many of the people whose lives are at the heart of the aspirations embedded in the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. They are the people most in need of such essentials as health care, quality education, decent work, affordable energy, and a clean environment.
This book, the result of a collaboration between the Japan International Cooperation Research Institute and the Global Economy and Development program at the Brookings Institution, offers practical ideas for transforming the “leave no one behind” philosophy into effective actions that, if implemented, should make realizing the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 possible.

Growth in a Time of Change
GLOBAL AND COUNTRY PERSPECTIVES ON A NEW AGENDA
edited by Hyeon-Wook Kim and Zia Qureshi
Growth in a Time of Change: Global and Country Perspectives on a New Agenda is the first of a two-book research project that addresses new issues and challenges for economic growth arising from ongoing significant change in the world economy, especially that resulting from technological transformation.
Part I of the book looks at key elements of change from a global perspective. Technology is changing the global configuration of comparative advantage, and globalization increasingly has a digital dimension. The implications of these developments for the future of sectors such as manufacturing and for international trade are assessed.
Part II addresses new issues in the growth agenda from the perspective of an individual major economy, South Korea. Rising income and wealth inequalities are a major concern globally, and macroeconomic developments and technological change are influencing the consumption, saving, and investment decisions of households and firms. Trends in the labor income share and wage inequalities in South Korea are analyzed in this context, with an emphasis on the roles played by technology, industrial concentration, and shifts in labor demand and supply. The contributors emphasize the policy implications of these and other factors affecting economic growth.

To Get Rich Is GloriousCHALLENGES FACING CHINA’S ECONOMIC REFORM AND OPENING AT FORTY
edited by Jacques deLisle and Avery Goldstein
In 1978, China’s Deng Xiaoping launched the economic reforms that have resulted in one of history’s most dramatic and profound national transformations. The reforms, which evolved over the ensuing four decades, removed institutional and policy obstacles to economic growth, tapped China’s immense reserves of labor and entrepreneurial talent, and opened the country to foreign capital and investment. China has developed a more high-tech and service-based economy—currently the world’s second largest—and now sends companies and capital abroad, in keeping with its new status as a leading force in international trade and investment.
But China also faces daunting challenges in sustaining growth, continuing the unfinished agenda of economic transformation, and dealing with mounting pressure and suspicion from the United States and other long-standing trade and investment partners as the country seeks to expand its influence across the globe.
In To Get Rich Is Glorious, the contributors introduce perspectives from economics, political science, and policy analysis to examine the many issues China now faces, including rural development, urban industrial policy, and public finance, and offer insights into the difficulties confronting China’s economy as the reform era moves into its fifth decade.

Unlocking Africa’s Business Potential
TRENDS, OPPORTUNITIES, RISKS, AND STRATEGIES
Landry Signé
Africa has tremendous economic potential and offers rewarding opportunities for global businesses looking for new markets and long-term investments with favorable returns. One of the world’s fastest-growing regions, by 2030 Africa will be home to nearly 1.7 billion people and offer an estimated $6.7 trillion worth of consumer and business spending. Increasing political stability and better regional integration are making market access easier, and business expansion should generate many more jobs. Current economic growth and poverty-alleviation efforts mean that more than 43 percent of the continent’s people will reach middle- or upper-class status by 2030.
Unlocking Africa’s Business Potential examines business opportunities in the eight sectors with the highest potential returns on private investment—the same sectors that will foster economic growth and diversification, job creation, and improved general welfare: consumer markets, agriculture and agriprocessing, information and communication technology, manufacturing, oil and gas, tourism, banking, and infrastructure and construction. For each sector, the book identifies specific opportunities for investment and growth, along with long-term market projections to inform decisionmaking and aid policymakers in attracting new business.

U.S. Inspectors GeneralTRUTH TELLERS IN TURBULENT TIMES
Charles Johnson and Kathryn Newcomer
Inspectors general are important players in the federal government, though their work often draws attention only when they uncover serious misdeeds or mismanagement. This book, by two experts on public policy, provides a comprehensive, up-to-date examination of how inspectors general have operated in the four decades since Congress established the office to investigate waste, fraud, and mismanagement at federal agencies and to promote efficiency and effectiveness in government programs.
Unique among federal officials, inspectors general are independent of the agencies they monitor, and they report to both the executive and the legislative branches of government. A key factor in their independence is that they are expected to be nonpartisan and to carry out their work without regard to their own or others’ political suasion.
The authors of U.S. Inspectors General: Truth Tellers in Turbulent Times emphasize the “strategic environment” in which inspectors general work and interact with a variety of stakeholders inside and outside government. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of public policy and public management, journalists, and ordinary citizens interested in how the government works—or doesn’t work—on their behalf.

Cultures of Anti-Racism in Latin America and the Caribbeanedited by Peter Wade, James Scorer, and Ignacio Aguiló
Latin America’s long history of racism existing side by side with racial mixture and conviviality offers useful ammunition for strengthening anti-racist stances. In a broader global context, the region affords valuable opportunities for thinking about anti-racism when recent political events have made ever more fragile the claims that we are in a postracial world. The contributors analyze art, education, language, and film in diverse national contexts across Latin America and the Caribbean to illustrate how anti-racist cultural practices can challenge racist discourse, even as “anti-racism” can be monopolized by the state to reproduce the acts of exclusion it purports to overturn.

Memory, Migration and (De)colonisation in the Caribbean and Beyond
edited by Jack Webb, Roderick Westmaas, Maria del Pilar Kaladeen,
and William Tantam
This edited volume provides interdisciplinary perspectives on the interpellation of migration and (de)colonization, paying particular attention to how these two phenomena have been experienced and have affected one another in the Caribbean and its diasporas. The volume forwards an understanding of (de)colonization as a set of multidirectional processes that are advancing and receding simultaneously across various contexts. Individual chapters represent a conversation among academics, the interested public, and community activists with the aim of promoting a more democratic and publicly engaged analysis of decolonization and Caribbean migration.

Healthy Aging in Asiaedited by Karen Eggleston
How are health systems in Asia promoting evidence-based policies for healthy aging? What strategies have been tried to prevent chronic disease and advance early detection, raise the quality of care, improve medication adherence, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations, and increase “value for money” in health care spending?
The contributors to this book consider how diverse economies in Asia are preparing for older population age structures and transforming health care systems to support patients who will live with chronic disease for decades. Several chapters draw on research led by the Stanford Asia Health Policy Program with the goal of understanding the net value of medical spending for patients with complicated chronic diseases across diverse health management programs in Asia.
KAREN EGGLESTON leads the Asia Health Policy Program at the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center and is deputy director of that institution, a fellow at Stanford’s Center for Health Policy/Primary Care and Outcomes Research, and a faculty research fellow with the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Mainstreaming Trade to Attain the Sustainable
Development GoalsWorld Trade Organization
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is central to achieving the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which set targets to be achieved by 2030 in such areas as poverty reduction, health, education, and the environment. The SDGs emphasize the role of trade in promoting sustainable development and recognize the contribution the WTO can make to the 2030 Agenda.
By delivering and implementing trade reforms that are pro-growth and pro-development, and by continuing to foster stable, predictable, and equitable trading relations across the world, the WTO will play an important role in delivering the SDGs, just as it did with the Millennium Development Goals before them.

Aid for Trade at a Glance 2019World Trade Organization
Aid for Trade at a Glance 2019 analyzes how trade contributes to economic diversification and empowerment by eliminating extreme poverty, particularly through the effective participation of women and youth. Aid for trade initiatives can contribute to those objectives by addressing supply-side capacity and alleviating trade-related infrastructure constraints, including for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), especially in rural areas.
The analysis is based on the views of 133 respondents—including eighty-eight developing countries, thirty-five donors, five providers of South-South trade-related support, and five regional organizations—that participated in the World Trade Organization’s 2019 aid for trade monitoring and evaluation exercise. Participants shared the view that economic diversification is a gateway to economic empowerment, but also pointed out that empowerment is essential for economic diversification, particularly when it enables youth, women, and MSMEs to engage in international trade.

Trade Finance and the Compliance Challenge
A SHOWCASE OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
World Trade Organization and International Finance Corporation
The availability of trade finance has become an increasingly important issue in the past few years. The growing reluctance of international banks to provide trade finance guarantees, particularly in developing countries, has reduced the capacity of local banks to provide credit to businesses wishing to trade. The result is a significant gap between the demand for and supply of trade finance. Small and medium-sized enterprises have been especially hard-hit by this trade finance gap.
This book explores the global trade finance gap and the challenges of regulatory compliance and describes the efforts of international organizations, such as the World Trade Organization and the International Finance Corporation, to respond to this issue. Supplementing the analysis are case studies of capacity-building programs organized by multilateral development banks that aim to improve the availability of trade finance.
