Five Rising DemocraciesAnd the Fate of the International Liberal Order
TeD Piccone
Five nations could determine the fate of the global democracy and human rights order.
Ted Piccone analyzes the transitions of these countries—India, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey, and Indonesia— as their stars rise on the international stage. While they offer important and mainly positive examples of the compatibility of political liberties, economic growth, and human development, their foreign policies swing between interest-based strategic autonomy and a principled concern for democratic progress and human rights. In a multipolar world, the fate of the liberal international order depends on how they reconcile these tendencies.

The Democracy Promotion Paradox
LincoLn A. MiTcheLL
T he Democracy Promotion Paradox raises difficult but critically important issues by probing the numerous inconsistencies and
paradoxes that lie at the heart of the theory and practice of democracy promotion.
Lincoln A. Mitchell provides an overview of the origins of U.S. democracy promotion, analyzes its development and evolution over the last decades, and discusses how it came to be an unquestioned assumption at the core of U.S. foreign policy. His discussion of the bureaucratic logic that underlies democracy promotion offers important insights into how it can be adapted to remain effective. Mitchell also examines the future of democracy promotion in the context of evolving U.S. domestic policy and politics and in a changed global environment in which the United States is no longer the hegemon.

india at the Global high TableThe Quest for Regional Primacy and Strategic Autonomy
howARD B. SchAFFeR AnD TeReSiTA c. SchAFFeR
In recent decades, India has taken on a growing global presence. India at the Global High Table is an insightful and integrated analysis of
how India is managing its evolving role. Both former U.S. ambassadors to countries in South Asia, Teresita Schaffer and Howard Schaffer shine light on the country’s strategic vision and foreign policy and the negotiating behavior that links the two.
The four concepts woven together throughout the book offer an exploration of India today: its exceptionalism; its nonalignment and drive for “strategic autonomy;” its determination to maintain regional primacy, and more.

RichARD e. FeinBeRG
O pen for Business: Bulding the New Cuban Economy, Richard E. Feinberg’s new book, examines the Cuban economy as it makes
its early steps into developing a more dynamic market economy. He examines key issues like the role foreign investors will play, how Cubans will forge a path to entrepreneurship, and the roadmaps suggested by other emerging economies.

Exam copies will be available March 2016.

Aspirational PowerBrazil on the Long Road to Global Influence
DAviD R MAReS AnD hARoLD A TRinkunAS
set apart from the rest of the hemisphere by culture, language and history, Brazil has been viewed by its neighbors as a potential great
power, and at times, a threat. But even though domestic aspirations and foreign perceptions have held out the prospect for Brazil becoming a major power, the country has lacked the capabilities to pursue a traditional path to greatness.
Aspirational Power examines Brazil as a rising power. It explains Brazil’s predilection for soft power through a historical analysis of Brazil’s three previous attempts to achieve major power status, each of which shaped its present strategy.

The Future of Land warfare
MichAeL e. o’hAnLon
What happens if we bet too heavily on unmanned systems, cyber warfare, and special operations in our defense?
In today’s U.S. defense policy debates, big land wars are out. Drones, cyber weapons, special forces, and space weapons are in. Accordingly, Pentagon budget cuts have honed in on the army and ground forces: this, after the long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, seems like an appealing idea. No one really wants American boots on the ground in bloody conflicts abroad. But it is not so easy to simply declare an end to messy land wars. A survey of the world’s trouble spots suggests that land warfare has more of a future than many now seem to believe.
In The Future of Land Warfare, Michael O’Hanlon offers an analysis of the future of the world’s ground forces: Where are large-scale conflicts or other catastrophes most plausible? Which of these could be important enough to require the option of a U.S. military response? And which of these could in turn demand significant numbers of American ground forces in their resolution? O’Hanlon is not predicting or advocating big American roles in such operations—only cautioning against overconfidence that we can and will avoid them.

The Risk PivotGreat Powers, International Security, and the Energy Revolution
BRuce D. JoneS AnD DAviD STeven
the last decade has seen a revolution in global energy. First, we saw explosive growth in demand from Asia’s rising powers, which
fueled fears about scarcity and conflict. But we’ve also seen an American revolution in technology and markets, resulting in a dramatic increase in sup-ply. This is strengthening America’s hand in the world—but it’s not without complications. There are major security consequences of these shifts. Among the most consequential are China and India, Asia’s emerging giants, which are increasingly exposed to political risks associated with energy risks, as well as the energy flows, pivoting to Asia.

DAviD STeven, eMiLy o’BRien, AnD BRuce JoneS, eDiToRS
T he New Politics of Strategic Resources examines the political dimensions of strategic resource challenges at the domestic and
international levels. For better or worse, energy and food markets are shaped by perceptions of national interest and do not behave as traditional market goods. So while markets are an essential part of any response to tighter resource supplies, governments also will play a key role. David Steven, Emily O’Brien, Bruce Jones, and their colleagues discuss what those roles are and what they should be. This timely volume includes chapters on major powers (United States, India, China) and key suppliers (Russia, Saudi Arabia).

Dragon in the TropicsVenezuela and the Legacy of Hugo Chavez
JAvieR coRRALeS AnD MichAeL PenFoLD
this new and expanded edition of Dragon in the Tropics examines the electoral decline of Chavismo after Chavez’s death and the
policies adopted by his successor, Nicolás Maduro, to cope with the economic chaos inherited from previous radical populist policies. Corrales and Penfold argue that Maduro has had to struggle with the inherent contradictions of a large and heterogeneous social coalition, a declining oil sector, the strength of entrenched military interests, and fewer resources to appease international allies, which have strenghtened the autocratic features of an already consolidated hybrid regime. In examining the new political realities of Venezuela, the authors offer lessons on the dynamics of succession in hybrid regimes. This book is a must-read for scholars and analysts of Latin America.
