it’s the Political economy, stupidThe Global Financial Crisis in Art and Theory

edited by gregory sholette and oliver resslerIt’s the Political Economy, Stupid brings together internationally acclaimed artists and thinkers, including Slavoj Žižek, David Graeber, Judith Butler and Brian Holmes, to focus on the current economic crisis in a sustained and critical manner.

Following a unique format, images and text are integrated in a visually stunning bespoke production by activist designer Noel Douglas. What emerges is a powerful critique of the current capitalist crisis through an analytical and theoretical response and an aesthetic-cultural rejoinder. By combining artistic responses with the analysis of leading radical theorists, the book expands the boundaries of critique beyond the usual discourse.

It’s the Political Economy, Stupid argues that it is time to push back against the dictates of the capitalist logic and, by use of both theoretical and artistic means, launch a rescue of the very notion of the social.

gregory sholeTTe is an artist, activist and author based in New York. He co-founded two artists’ collectives: Political Art Documentation and Distribution (1980-88) and REPOhistory (1989-2000). He is the author of Dark Matter: Art and Politics in the Age of Enterprise Culture (Pluto, 2010) and co-editor of Collectivism after Modernism: The Art of Social Imagination after 1945 (2007) and The Interventionists: Users’ Manual for the Creative Disruption of Everyday Life (2004).

murdoch's PoliticsHow One Man's Thirst For Wealth and Power Shapes our World

david mcKnight. foreword by robert W. mcchesneyRupert Murdoch's News Corporation is the most powerful media organisation in the world. Murdoch's commercial success is obvious, but less well understood is his successful pursuit of political goals, using News Corporation as his vehicle.

In Murdoch's Politics David McKnight tracks Murdoch's influence, from his support for Reagan and Thatcher, his deal with Tony Blair and attacks on Barack Obama. He examines the secretive corporate culture of News Corporation: its private political seminars for editors, its support for think tanks and its global campaigns on issues like Iraq and climate change.

Including analysis of the phone hacking crisis, possible bribery charges and Murdoch's appearance at the Leveson enquiry, this book is a highly topical study of one of the most influential and controversial figures of the modern age.

daVid mcKNighT is an associate professor at the Journalism and Media Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He is the award-winning author of Beyond Right and Left: New Politics and the Culture War (2005) and worked as a journalist at the Sydney Morning Herald and ABC TV's prestigious investigative programme Four Corners.

“A timely and hard-hitting account of the

career of the world's first and greatest global media baron, from one of Australia's leading academics in the field of journalism studies. A former journalist himself, McKnight's account of the Murdoch empire should be read by all who are interested in the relationship between media and political power in our time. Brian Mcnair Professor of Journalism, Media & Communication at Queensland University of Technology, author of News and Journalism in the UK (2009)


Power beyond scrutinyMedia, Justice and Accountability

Justin schlosbergPower Beyond Scrutiny uncovers the forces which distort and limit public debate in the media. From the misuse of politicians' expenses to recent phone hacking scandals, establishment corruption has never been more in the headlines. Yet amidst the din there have been seismic silences.

Justin Schlosberg interrogates these silences - why did a plea bargain which allowed Britain’s biggest arms company to escape bribery prosecution go almost entirely unchallenged in television news? Why did journalists routinely endorse the official explanation of how intelligence analyst David Kelly died, whilst all but ignoring mounting evidence which undermined it? Why, in 2010, did broadcasters offer an unchallenged platform to critics of Wikileaks but not its supporters?

These are some of the questions and imbalances that Schlosberg seeks to address as he explains the nature of public debate in the digital age. In doing so he uncovers a range of news blockages that are more than just accidents of a fragmented, chaotic mediascape. They are ultimately ideological forces which ensure that contestability and dissent remain within definable limits.

JUsTiN schlosberg is a media activist, researcher and lecturer in Journalism and Media Studies at Birkbeck College, University of London.

a marxist history of the WorldFrom Neanderthals to Neoliberals

Neil faulkner

Series: Counterfire

This magisterial analysis of human history - from 'Lucy', the first hominid, to the current Great Recession - combines the insights of earlier generations of Marxist historians with radical new ideas about the historical process.

Reading history against the grain, Neil Faulkner reveals that what happened in the past was not predetermined. Choices were frequent and numerous. Different outcomes - liberation or barbarism - were often possible. Rejecting the top-down approach of conventional history, Faulkner contends that it is the mass action of ordinary people that drives great events.

At the beginning of the 21st century - with economic disaster, war, climate catastrophe and deep class divisions - humans face perhaps the greatest crisis in the long history of our species. The lesson of A Marxist History of the World is that, since we created our past, we can also create a better future.

Neil faUlKNer is a Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, co-director of several archaeological field-projects, and author of numerous books, including A Visitor’s Guide to the Ancient Olympics (2012) and Rome: Empire of the Eagles (2008). He is a leading member of Counterfire and publicity officer for the Coalition of Resistance.

how a century of War changed the lives of Womenlindsey german

Series: Counterfire

How a Century of War Changed the Lives of Women looks at the remarkable impact of war on women in Britain. It shows how conflict has changed women’s lives and how those changes have put women at the centre of peace campaigning.

Lindsey German, one of the UK's leading anti-war activists and commentators, shows how women have played a central role in anti-war and peace movements, including the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The women themselves talk about how they overcame prejudice and difficulty to become active. The book integrates this experience with a historical overview, analysing the two world wars as catalysts of social change for women. It looks at how the changing nature of war, especially the involvement of civilians, increasingly involves significant numbers of women.

As well as providing an inspiring account of women's opposition to war, the book also tackles key contemporary developments, challenging negative assumptions about Muslim women and showing how anti-war movements are feeding into a broader desire to change society.

liNdsey germaN is convenor of the Stop the War Coalition, which organised the biggest demonstration in British history against the Iraq war, and a regular contributor to Counterfire. She lectures at the University of Hertfordshire and is the co-author of A People’s History of London (2012) and author of Material Girls (2007).

“Lindsey German, an historian and longterm

defender of women’s liberation, links two major forms of women’s involvement in war: as activists opposing conflict and as workers during it. Breaking the simple dichotomy between resistance and complicity this book also balances the emancipatory and destructive aspects of war. Seen through the prism of women’s experience, German tells a fascinating and important story. nina Power Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Roehampton University and the author of One-Dimensional Woman (2009)


a marxist history of the second World WarRival Empires and Popular Uprisings

chris bambery

Series: Counterfire

The Second World War casts a long shadow, portrayed as a necessary and paradigmatic war that defeated fascism. During recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, US presidents and British prime ministers have tried to claim they were following in the footsteps of Winston Churchill by standing up to dictators.

In A Marxist History of the Second World War Chris Bambery tests this position in a thorough account of the war and tries to understand why it still dominates TV history channels and school history books.

Bambery argues that the conflict ultimately was about a division of the world between the great powers, as well as a rising of ordinary people against fascism. He offers a complex and radical analysis unique in comparison to many modern and conventional histories of the war.

chris bambery is a writer, broadcaster and activist. He is the author of A Rebel's Guide to Gramsci (2006), Ireland’s Permanent Revolution (1986) and editor of Scotland: Class and Nation (1999).

corporate europeHow Big Business Sets Policies on Food, Climate and War

david croninDuring the chaos of the eurozone crisis, few mainstream commentators have stopped to question the purpose of the European Union itself, and whose interests it serves. Corporate Europe goes beyond the divisions between nation-states, focusing instead on the division between the corporate elite and the peoples of Europe.

David Cronin spent a year investigating the privileged access that big business enjoys in Brussels. In this book, he reveals how the EU’s policies on health, climate change, armaments and food safety have been tailored to please an unaccountable elite. Making extensive use of previously unpublished documents, he explores how ideologically blinkered lobbyists have seized on the financial crisis of recent years to entrench the casino capitalism that caused the crisis in the first place.

What emerges is a powerful exposé of how vested interests in the EU have manipulated opportunities to introduce ideologically-driven reforms.

daVid croNiN is a journalist specialising in European politics. He is the author of Europe’s Alliance With Israel: Aiding the Occupation (Pluto, 2011) and has written for a variety of publications, including the Guardian, Wall Street Journal Europe, European Voice, the Irish Times and Electronic Intifada.

shadow livesThe Forgotten Women of the War on Terror

Victoria brittain. foreword by John berger. afterword by marina WarnerShadow Lives reveals the unseen side of the '9/11 wars': their impact on the wives and families of men incarcerated in Guantanamo, or in prison or under house arrest in Britain and the US. Victoria Brittain shows how these families have been made socially invisible and a convenient scapegoat for the state in order to exercise arbitrary powers under the cover of the 'War on Terror'.

A disturbing exposé of the perilous state of freedom and democracy in our society, the book reveals how a culture of intolerance and cruelty has left individuals at the mercy of the security services’ unverifiable accusations and punitive punishments.

Both a j'accuse and a testament to the strength and humanity of the families, Shadow Lives shows the methods of incarceration and social control being used by the British state and gives a voice to the families whose lives have been turned upside down. In doing so it raises urgent questions about civil liberties which no one can afford to ignore.

VicToria briTTaiN lived and worked as a journalist in Washington, Nairobi, Saigon, Algiers and London, and has travelled extensively in Africa and the Middle East. She worked at the Guardian for 20 years. She is author of Death of Dignity: Angola’s Civil War (1997), co-author of Moazzam Begg’s Guantanamo memoir, Enemy Combatant (2006) and author and co-author of two verbatim plays.

The Politics of islamophobiaRace, Power and Fantasy

david Tyrer

Series: Decolonial Studies, Postcolonial Horizons

Despite its emblematic place within contemporary racism and its increasingly important position in defining relations between states and ethnicised minorities, Islamophobia remains a contested, frequently unrecognised and largely under-theorised form of racism.

The Politics of Islamophobia provides a definitive contribution to these debates, offering a theoretically sophisticated account which draws upon a series of substantive case studies to position Islamophobia as an expression of racialised governmentality.

By taking into account connections across different national contexts, and by moving beyond the limiting framing of the 'War on Terror' which has dominated recent debates, this book offers a new perspective on the study of Islamophobia.

daVid Tyrer teaches Sociology and Criminology at Liverpool John Moores University. He is the co-author of Race, Crime and Resistance (2011).

making Peace with the earthVandana shivaIn this compelling and rigorously documented exposition, Vandana Shiva demolishes the myths propagated by corporate globalisation in its pursuit of profit and power and shows its devastating environmental impact.

Shiva argues that consumerism lubricates the war against the earth and that corporate control violates all ethical and ecological limits. She takes the reader on a journey through the world's devastated eco-landscape, one of genetic engineering, industrial development and land-grabs in Africa, Asia and South America. She concludes that exploitation of this order is incurring an ecological and economic debt that is unsustainable.

Making Peace with the Earth outlines how a paradigm shift to earth-centred politics and economics is our only chance of survival and how collective resistance to corporate exploitation can open the way to a new environmentalism.

VaNdaNa shiVa was one of India’s leading physicists and is now a leading environmental campaigner, the winner of the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize and the author of several books, including Soil not Oil (2008), Earth Democracy (2005) and Stolen Harvest (2001).

Nature for sale Commons versus Commodities

giovanna ricoveri. foreword by Vandana shivaNature for Sale uncovers the rich heritage of common ownership which existed before the dominance of capitalist property relations. Giovanna Ricoveri argues that the subsistence commons of the past can be reinvented today to provide an alternative to the current destructive economic order.

Ricoveri outlines the distinct features of common ownership as it has existed in history: cooperation, sustainable use of natural resources and decision-making through direct democracy. In doing so, she shows how it is possible to provide goods and services which are not commodities exchanged on the capitalistic market, something still demonstrated today in village communities across the global South.

Tracing the erosion of the commons from the European enclosures at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution to the new enclosures of modern capitalism, the book concludes by arguing that a new commons is needed today. It will be essential reading for activists as well as students and academics in history, politics, economics and development studies.

gioVaNNa ricoVeri is a writer and activist. She is the author of a book on the commons in Italian, Beni comuni vs Merci (2010) and editor of Beni comuni tra tradizione e futuro (2005). She is the founding editor of Capitalismo Natura Socialismo, which is part of the international network Capitalism Nature Socialism.

The Therapy IndustryThe Irresistible Rise of the Talking Cure, and Why It Doesn’t Work

Paul moloneyAcross the world anxiety, stress and depression are on the increase, a trend which looks set to continue as austerity measures bite. The official response tells people that unhappiness is just a personal problem, rather than a social one.

Written by a practising psychologist, with nearly thirty years' experience in the fields of mental health and learning disabilities, The Therapy Industry offers a concise, accessible and critical overview of the world of psychological practice in Britain and the USA. Paul Moloney argues that much therapy is geared towards compliance and acceptance of the status quo, rather than attempting to facilitate social change.

The Therapy Industry fundamentally challenges our conceptions of happiness and wellbeing. Moloney argues that therapeutic and applied psychology have little basis in science, that their benefits are highly exaggerated and they prosper because they serve the interests of power.

PaUl moloNey is a Counselling Psychologist with experience in community and social work, an associate lecturer with the Open University and the University of Birmingham, and a founder member of the Midlands Psychology Group, which is dedicated to questioning the assumptions of official psychology.

The Great University gambleMoney, Markets and the Future of Higher Education

andrew mcgettiganIn 2010 the UK government imposed huge cuts and market-driven reforms on higher education. Proposals to raise undergraduate tuition fees provoked the angriest protests for decades. This academic year has seen the first cohort of students begin study under the new arrangements. A proposed Higher Education Bill has been shelved, but changes are being cemented and extended through other means.

Displaying a stunning grasp of the financial and policy details, Andrew McGettigan surveys the emerging brave new world of higher education. He looks at the big questions: What will be the role of universities within society? How will they be funded? What kind of experiences will they offer students? Where does the public interest lie?

Written in a clear and accessible style, The Great University Gamble outlines the architecture of the new policy regime and tracks the developments on the ground. It is an urgent warning that our universities and colleges are now open to commercial pressures, which threaten to transform education from a public good into a private, individual financial investment.

subverting global financeA Guide to Creative Financial Activism

brett scottPopular anger against bankers and the financial system has never been higher, yet the practical workings of the system remain opaque to many people. Subverting Global Finance aims to bridge the gap between protest slogans and practical proposals for reform.

As a derivatives-broker turned campaigner, Brett Scott has a unique understanding of life inside and outside the system. The book is a practical guide for campaigners, academics and students who wish to deepen their understanding of the inner workings of finance, and gain access to it. It shows how financial knowledge can be used to build effective social and environmental campaigns.

Scott covers aspects frequently overlooked, such as the cultural dimensions of the financial sector, and considers major issues such as agricultural speculation, carbon markets and tar-sands financing. The book shows how activists can tap into the internal dynamics of the sector to disrupt it and showcases the growing alternative finance movement.

breTT scoTT is a consultant and former broker who has worked on climate change, food security and ethical banking campaigns. He is a Fellow at the Finance Innovation Lab and has written for the Guardian, Ecologist, and New Internationalist. He blogs at www.suitpossum.blogspot.com.

biohackersThe Politics of Open Science

alessandro delfantiBiohackers explores fundamental changes occuring in the circulation and ownership of scientific information. Alessandro Delfanti argues that the combination of the ethos of 20th century science, the hacker movement and the free software movement is producing an open science culture which redefines the relationship between researchers, scientific institutions and commercial companies.

Biohackers looks at the emergence of the citizen biology community ‘DIYbio’, the shift to open access by the American biologist Craig Venter and the rebellion of the Italian virologist Ilaria Capua against WHO data-sharing policies.

Delfanti argues that these biologists and many others are involved in a transformation of both life sciences and information systems, using open access tools and claiming independence from both academic and corporate institutions.

“Alessandro Delfanti’s book is a deft and

accessible introduction to the changing face of science in the new century. He brings a journalist’s skill, a scientist’s skepticism and an activist’s passion to the question of open science today. The work offers an expert analysis of the global politics of big science and the details and pleasures, the successes and failures, of small-scale amateur and DIY biology. From the lucid writing emerges the story of a new ethic of sharing and decoding life - whether viewed under the microscope or lived out in hackerspaces and garage labs. christoPher Kelty Associate Professor of Information Studies and Anthropology, Institute for Society and Genetics, UCLA


memoirs of an early arab feministThe Life and Activism of Anbara Salam Khalidi

anbara salam Khalidi. foreword by marina Warner. Translated by Tarif KhalidiMemoirs of an Early Arab Feminist is the first English translation of the memoirs of Anbara Salam Khalidi, the iconic Arab feminist. At a time when women are playing a leading role in the Arab Spring, this book brings to life an earlier period of social turmoil and women's activism through one remarkable life.

Anbara Salam was born in 1897 to a notable Sunni Muslim family of Beirut. She grew up in 'Greater Syria', in which unhindered travel between Beirut, Jerusalem and Damascus was possible, and wrote a series of newspaper articles calling on women to fight for their rights within the Ottoman Empire. In 1927 she caused a public scandal by removing her veil during a lecture at the American University of Beirut.

Later she translated Homer and Virgil into Arabic and fled from Jerusalem to Beirut following the establishment of Israel in 1948. She died in Beirut in 1986. These memoirs have long been acclaimed by Middle East historians as an essential resource for the social history of Beirut and the larger Arab world in the 19th and 20th centuries.

aNbara salam Khalidi (1897 - 1986) was a feminist, activist, writer and translator of classic literary works into Arabic.

doomed by hopeEssays on Arab Theatre

edited by eyad houssami. foreword by elias Khoury. Photographs by dalia KhamissyDoomed by Hope is a beautifully presented collection of essays by writers and artists which traces the history of contemporary Arab theatre and its relationship to social change.

With contributors from Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Kuwait and Yemen, this book includes both academic discussions and personal narratives, alongside a number of specially commissioned portraits of contemporary Arab theatre artists. The essays revolve around the legacy of the late Syrian dramatist Saadallah Wannous, whose monumental plays incited audiences to rise up against tyranny decades ago.

This unique book is one of the first English language volumes on Arab theatre. In a highly topical manner following the Arab Spring, it explores cultural practices – from reading plays in a classroom to performing in a security state and directing in theatres, prisons, and international festivals – in times of revolt.

eyad hoUssami makes and writes about theatre. He studied theatre at Yale University and currently lives in Beirut. He is the author of the play Mama Butterfly.

language, resistance and revivalRepublican Prisoners and the Irish Language in the North of Ireland

feargal mac ionnrachtaighLanguage, Resistance and Revival tells the untold story of the truly groundbreaking linguistic and educational developments that took place among Republican prisoners in Long Kesh prison from 1972-2000.

During a period of bitter struggle between Republican prisoners and the British state, the Irish language was taught and spoken as a form of resistance during incarceration. The book unearths this story for the first time and analyses the rejuvenating impact it had on the cultural revival in the nationalist community beyond the prison walls.

Based on unprecedented interviews, Feargal Mac Ionnrachtaigh explores a key period in Irish history through the original and 'insider' accounts of key protagonists in the contemporary Irish language revival.

feargal mac ioNNrachTaigh is a Belfast-based community activist. He works as a Project Worker with Gaeltacht Quarter Irish Language Development Agency, Forbairt Feirste, and is chairperson of Upper Springfield Irish Language organisation, Glór na Móna.

The Anarchist Turnedited by Jacob blumenfeld, chiara bottici and simon critchleyThe concept of anarchy is often presented as a recipe for pure disorder. The Anarchist Turn brings together innovative and fresh perspectives on anarchism to argue that in fact it represents a form of collective, truly democratic social organisation.

The book shows how in the last decade the negative caricature of anarchy has begun to crack. Globalisation and the social movements it spawned have proved what anarchists have long been advocating: an anarchical order is not just desirable, but also feasible.

The contributors, including leading anarchist and critical theorists, argue that with the failure of both free markets and state socialism the time has come for an 'anarchist turn' in political philosophy. In doing so they relate the anarchist hypothesis to a range of other disciplines such as politics, anthropology, economics, history and sociology.

Jacob blUmeNfeld is a researcher in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research, New York. He has taught at various schools in the City University of New York.

chiara boTTici teaches Philosophy at the New School for Social Research, New York. Her recent publications include A Philosophy of Political Myth (2010) and Men and States (2009). She is editor of The Politics of Imagination (2011) and co-author of Imagining Europe: Myth, Memory, and Identity (2012) and The Myth of the Clash between Civilizations (2010).

The Global Hunger crisisTackling Food Insecurity in Developing Countries

majda bne saadMillions across the world face the daily challenge to find enough food to survive. Hunger is on the rise globally, with more than 1.2 billion people suffering from food insecurity. Rising prices are further restricting food access.

In this deeply informative study, Majda Bne Saad identifies the causes for global hunger embedded in the current global political and economic system and highlights the key challenges facing food deficit countries. She shows how Western countries share the blame for global hunger through their support for subsidies to agricultural production and biofuels, which have created new challenges to food security worldwide.

Bne Saad argues that, as world population rises from 7 billion to 9.2 billion by 2050, there needs to be a ‘second green revolution’ to grow more food. She looks at the factors constraining low-income nations from achieving food security and considers policies which could generate income and enhance individuals' entitlement to food.

maJda bNe saad lectured in Food Security, Famines and Development Management at University College Dublin before her retirement. She is a member of the National Irish Famine Commemoration Committee and involved in national level development Task Forces in Ireland. She is the co-editor of Trade, Aid and Development (2006).

To live and die in americaClass, Power, Health and Health Care

robert chernomas and ian hudson

Series: The Future of World Capitalism

To Live and Die in America details how the United States has among the worst indicators of health in the industrialised world and at the same time spends significantly more on its health care system than any other industrial nation.

Robert Chernomas and Ian Hudson explain this contradictory phenomenon as the product of the unique brand of capitalism that has developed in the US. It is this particular form of capitalism that created both the social and economic conditions that largely influence health outcomes and the inefficient, unpopular and inaccessible health care system that is incapable of dealing with them.

The authors argue that improving health in America requires a change in the conditions in which people live and work as well as a restructured health care system.

roberT cherNomas is Professor of Economics at the University of Manitoba, Canada. He has been a visiting professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and is on the editorial board of International Journal of Health Services.

geopolitical economyAfter US Hegemony, Globalization and Empire

radhika desai


Geopolitical Economy traces the historical evolution of today's multi-polar world, as it emerges from the dust of the financial and economic crisis.

Radhika Desai offers a radical critique of the theories of US hegemony, globalisation and empire which dominate academic international political economy and international relations, revealing their ideological origins in successive failed US attempts at dominance.

Desai recovers and revitalises notions of national self-determination and popular dissent, drawing on revolutionary intellectual traditions which understand the world order as formed by ‘the relations of producing nations’. At a time of global upheavals and profound shifts in the distribution of power, Geopolitical Economy forges a vivid and compelling account of the historical processes which are shaping the contemporary international order.

She is the author of Slouching Towards Ayodhya: From Congress to Hindutva in Indian Politics (2004), Intellectuals and Socialism: 'Social Democrats' and the Labour Party (1994), editor of Developmental and Cultural Nationalisms (2009) and co-editor of Revitalizing Marxist Theory for Today’s Capitalism (2011).

The Discipline of Western supremacyModes of Foreign Relations and Political Economy, Volume III

Kees van der PijlConcluding the acclaimed and award-winning trilogy on 'Modes of Foreign Relations and Political Economy', this is a magisterial historical sociology of International Relations theory.

In The Discipline of Western Supremacy Kees van der Pijl argues that, from the late European Middle Ages, Anglophone thinkers articulated an imperial world-view which was adopted by aspirant elites elsewhere. Nation-state formation under the auspices of the English-speaking West has henceforth informed thinking about international affairs. After decolonisation the study of comparative politics continued to develop under those same auspices as part of a comprehensive international studies.

This book, the first of its kind, aims to provide a complete overview of mainstream International Relations as a set of theories which translate Western supremacy into intellectual hegemony.

Kees VaN der PiJl is a Fellow of the Centre for Global Political Economy and Professor Emeritus at the University of Sussex. His books include The Foreign Encounter in Myth and Religion (Pluto, 2010), the Deutscher prize-winning Nomads, Empires, States (Pluto, 2007), Global Rivalries from the Cold War to Iraq (Pluto, 2006) and The Making of an Atlantic Ruling Class (new edition 2012).

beyond the developmental stateIndustrial Policy into the 21st Century

edited by ben fine, Jyoti saraswati and daniela Tavasci

Series: IIPPE

Moving beyond abstract economic models and superficial descriptions of the market, Beyond the Developmental State analyses the economic, political and ideological interests which underpin current socio-economic processes.

Through this approach, the contributors show the close interrelation between states and markets in both national and international contexts. Drawing on a wide range of case studies and themes, the book exposes the theoretical and empirical limitations of the developmental state paradigm, offering alternatives as well as discussing the policy implications and challenges they raise.

For scholars, students and practitioners of development, Beyond the Developmental State presents a decisive break with the old dogmas of both neoliberal orthodoxy and theories of 'market-imperfection', and outlines theoretically and empirically grounded alternatives.

The Dying SaharaUS Imperialism and Terror in Africa

Jeremy KeenanIn The Dark Sahara (Pluto, 2009), Jeremy Keenan exposed the collusion between the US and Algeria in fabricating ‘false flag’ terrorism to justify the launch of a new ‘Saharan front’ in Washington’s War on Terror. In this new book, he reveals how the Pentagon’s designation of the region as a ‘Terror Zone’ has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of thousands of innocent people.

Beginning in 2004, with what local people called the US ‘invasion’ of the Sahel, The Dying Sahara shows how repressive, authoritarian regimes, cashing in on US terrorism ‘rents’, provoked Tuareg rebellions in both Niger and Mali. Multinationals expropriated Tuareg lands for uranium and puppeteers in Washington, Algiers and Europe pulled the strings of a new, narco-trafficking Al Qaeda.

Keenan's chillingly detailed research shows that the US and its new combatant, African command (AFRICOM), far from bringing security, peace and development, have created a self-fulfilling prophecy of terror and instability in a region the size of western Europe.

Jeremy KeeNaN is a Professorial Research Associate at the School of Oriental and African Studies. He has written many books including The Dark Sahara (Pluto, 2009). He is a consultant to the UN and other international organisations. He is currently employed by the European Commission as an expert to advise on the situation in the Sahel.

The Horn of AfricaIntra-State and Inter-State Conflicts and Security

edited by redie bereketeab. foreword by cyril obiThe Horn of Africa, comprising Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia, is the most conflict-ridden region in Africa. This book explores the origins and impact of these conflicts at both an intra-state and inter-state level and the insecurity they create.

The contributors show how regional and international interventions have compounded pre-existing tensions and have been driven by competing national interests linked to the 'War on Terror' and acts of piracy off the coast of Somalia.

The Horn of Africa outlines proposals for multidimensional mechanisms for conflict resolution in the region. Issues of border demarcation, democratic deficit, crises of nation and state building, and the roles of political actors and traditional authorities are all clearly analysed.

redie bereKeTeab is a researcher at the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala, where he heads a research project on Conflict and State Building in the Horn of Africa. He has authored several journal articles, chapters and books on the Horn of Africa.

The Conundrum of russian capitalismThe Post-Soviet Economy in the World System

ruslan dzarasovIn this book Ruslan Dzarasov reveals the nature of Russian capitalism following the fall of the Soviet Union, showing how the system originated in both the degenerated Soviet bureaucracy and the pressures of global capital. He provides an unprecedented analysis of Russian firms' corporate governance and labour practices, and makes sense of their peculiar investment strategies.

By comparing the practices of Russian companies to the typical models of corporate governance and investment behaviour of big firms in the West, Dzarasov sheds light on the relationship between the core and periphery of the capitalist world-system.

This groundbreaking study proves that Russia's new capitalism is not a break with the country's Stalinist past, but is in fact the continuation of that tradition. At the same time, the brutal and deficient character of the current system also reflects the realities of the modern globalised and financialised world capitalist system.

rUslaN dzarasoV is a senior research fellow at the Central Institute of Economics and Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He has written for the academic journals Debatte: Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe and the Cambridge Journal of Economics.

green Politics in chinaEnvironmental Governance and State-Society Relations

Joy y zhang and michael barrBased on interviews with members of grassroots organisations, media and government institutions, Green Politics in China provides an in-depth and engaging account of the novel ways in which Chinese society is responding to its environmental crisis, using examples rarely captured in Western media or academia.

Joy Y. Zhang and Michael Barr explain how environmental problems are transforming Chinese society through new developments such as the struggle for clean air, low-carbon conspiracy theories, new forms of public fund raising and the international tactics of grassroots NGOs. In doing so, they challenge static understandings of state-society relations in China.

Green Politics in China is an illuminating and detailed investigation which provides crucial insights into how China is both changing internally and emerging as a powerful player in global environmental politics.

organisational anthropologyDoing Ethnography in and Among Complex Organisations

edited by christina garsten and anette Nyqvist

Series: Anthropology, Culture and Society

Organisational Anthropology is a pioneering analysis of doing ethnographic fieldwork in different types of complex organisations. The book focuses on the process of initiating contact, establishing rapport and gaining the trust of the organisation's members.

The contributors work from the premise that doing fieldwork in an organisation shares essential characteristics with fieldwork in more ‘classical’ anthropological environments, but that it also poses some particular challenges to the ethnographer. These include the ideological or financial interests of the organisations, protection of resources and competition between organisations.

Organisational Anthropology brings together and highlights crucial aspects of doing anthropology in contemporary complex settings, and will have wide appeal to students, researchers and academics in anthropology and organisation studies.

a history of anthropologyThomas Hylland Eriksen and Finn Sivert Nielsen


This is a thoroughly updated and revised edition of a popular classic of modern anthropology.

The book provides an unparalleled account of theoretical developments in anthropology from the 1920s to the present, including functionalism, structuralism, hermeneutics, neo-Marxism and discourse analysis. There are brief biographies of major anthropologists and coverage of key debates including totemism, kinship and globalisation.

This essential text on anthropology is highly engaging, authoritative and suitable for students at all levels.

The Surplus AmericanHow the 1% is Making Us Redundant

charles derber and yale r. magrassThe Surplus American considers a future where increasing numbers of Americans will be rendered jobless and redundant. Exploring the ongoing crisis of 'surplus people' today, authors Charles Derber and Yale Magrass show that the jobless are merely the tip of the iceberg.

Drawing on the work of economists and highlighting new trends, the book identifies a number of primary groups within the category of 'surplus' including the underemployed, people forcibly removed or induced to leave the labour force and retirees.

Derber and Magrass argue that a majority of the US public is now part of the surplus population constituting an integral part of the economy. The authors conclude that these movements will be essential to solving the crisis of surplus people and redirecting the economy in a more positive direction.

charles derber is Professor of Sociology at Boston College. He is the author of Corporation Nation, Hidden Power and Greed to Green. yale r. magrass is Professor of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. He is the author of three other books and more than thirty articles, including encyclopedia entries.

selves, societies, and emotionsUnderstanding the Pathways of Experience

Thomas S. HenricksSelves, Societies and Emotions builds on contributions from sociology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, literature and neuroscience to outline an innovative new perspective on human beings and their interaction with others.

Thomas S. Henricks develops an account of how people discover and reproduce the 'meanings' of their involvements with others. Among his many themes are how people come to treat themselves as 'projections of personhood'.

The book analyses the ways in which self-expression has changed historically and is now experienced in our electronically mediated era and argues that ritual, play, communitas and work form four distinctive 'pathways of experience'.

Thomas s. heNricKs is Danieley Professor of Sociology and Distinguished University Professor at Elon University, USA. He is the author of many books and articles on the organisation of human expression in societies. His most recent book is Play Reconsidered: Sociological Perspectives on Human Expression (2006).

The Path to ZeroDialogues on Nuclear Dangers

richard falk and david KriegerThe Path to Zero argues that it is time to re-open the public debate on nuclear weapons. In a series of clear and well-reasoned dialogues, long-time scholars and peace activists Richard Falk and David Krieger probe key questions about our nuclear capability and dig beneath the secrecy that has largely surrounded its existence.

Falk and Krieger argue that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only the beginning. In recent times, nuclear annihilation at the hands of rogue states and terrorists has become an even greater concern than the spectre of nuclear war between superpowers.

The Path to Zero argues that whilst none of us has the power to bring about global change alone, together we are immensely powerful – powerful enough to overcome the threats of the Nuclear Age and move us appreciably along 'the path to zero'.

richard falK is Professor of International Law at Princeton University. daVid Krieger is Founder and President of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation in Santa Barbara and co-editor (with Richard Falk) of The Nuclear Precipice (2008).

democratic Uprisings in the middle east and North africaYouth, Technology, and Modernization

mahmood monshipouri

Series: International Studies Intensives

In this book Mahmood Monshipouri assesses the role of emotion, solidarity and online activism in the Arab Spring, issues which have been largely absent in mainstream coverage of the events.

He argues that whilst modern technologies and social media may have brought new politics to the streets, practical organisation on the ground remains crucial when it comes to shaping a country’s political future. Monshipouri also considers how these countries will navigate the transition to democracy, especially when the military continues to be involved in politics.

This book addresses all of these subjects in an engaging and accessible narrative.

mahmood moNshiPoUri is Associate Professor of International Relations at San Francisco State University. His most recent book is Terrorism, Security, and Human Rights: Harnessing the Rule of Law (2012).

changing livesTaylor stoehrChanging Lives recounts the experiences of a dozen men on probation in Massachusetts who took classes for three months to read and talk about great works of literature. The men explored the writings of Malcolm X, Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov, amongst others. In these writings the men discovered many issues relating to their own lives, such as substance abuse, family breakdown, poverty and racism.

The lessons create a safe space for reflection and earnest conversation, in which the students no longer have to bluff or be cool, guarded, or evasive. And because the classroom puts them on equal footing with authority figures – teachers, probation officers and even judges – a new social awareness begins to emerge.

Changing Lives shows how reawakening moral consciousness and a fresh commitment to society is essential if probationers are not to cycle endlessly through the limbo of street life and jail time.

Taylor sToehr is Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. For fifteen years he has headed the 'Changing Lives Through Literature' programme at Dorchester District Court in Massachusetts. He is author of six books on literary and cultural history, has translated two volumes of poetry and has edited twenty books by social critics of the sixties.

youth in revoltReclaiming a Democratic Future

henry a. girouxYouth in Revolt chronicles the escalating backlash against dissent and peaceful protest while exposing a lack of governmental concern for society’s most vulnerable populations.

Henry Giroux carefully documents a wide range of phenomena, from pervasive violent imagery in our popular culture to educational racism, censorship and the growing economic inequality we face. He challenges the reader to consider the hope for democratic renewal embodied by Occupy Wall Street and other emerging movements.

Encouraging a capacity for critical thought, compassion and informed judgment, Giroux’s analysis allows us to rethink the very nature of what democracy means and what it might look like in the United States and beyond.

heNry a. giroUx currently holds the Global TV Network Chair Professorship at McMaster University in the English and Cultural Studies Department. His most recent books include The University in Chains: Confronting the Military-Industrial-Academic Complex (2007) and Against the Terror of Neoliberalism (2008).

rethinking contemporary social Theoryroberta garner, black hawk hancock and grace budrysThis textbook outlines a new theoretical paradigm which combines elements of both social construction theory and conflict theory and which has more recent links to postmodernism.

The authors select ten fields within sociology and in each one trace the reception and impact of the new paradigm. The fields include gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, media and the sociology of family life.

Drawing on Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, the authors identify causes for this paradigm shift, which include the contributions of specific individuals, the general intellectual climate and various social changes such as globalisation and neoliberalism.

Thinking Critically about mediadonald lazereThinking Critically About Media is a textbook for self-defence against manipulation by politicians, the media and assorted propagandists. Its interdisciplinary application of principles of critical thinking and argumentative rhetoric can be incorporated in a variety of university courses including the social sciences, communication, journalism and media studies.

The authors identify the precise political positions of a spectrum of American media and journalists from left to right, so as to point students toward sources representing opposed viewpoints, with their typical lines of argument, in order to reach a comparative analysis.

Other important issues dealt with include the various influences on political bias as propagated by sources such as lobbies, public relations agencies, think tanks and political advertising agencies.

Whither the child?Causes and Consequences of Low Fertility

edited by eric P. Kaufmann and W. bradford WilcoxBirth rates are falling and fertility rates are well below replacement levels. At the same time, the economic crisis has forced governments to scale back public spending and raise the retirement age, causing immense social conflict.

Taking a step outside the disciplinary comfort zone, Whither the Child? asks how demography affects individuals and society. What does it feel like to live in a low fertility world? What are the consequences?

No other book confronts so many dimensions of the low fertility issue and engages with the thorny issues of child psychology, parenting, family and social policy.

eric P. KaUfmaNN is Reader in Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London. He is the author of Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth (2010) and The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America (2004).

Pedagogy of commitmentPaulo freireIn this first English translation of Pedagogy of Commitment, first published in Spanish in 2008, Freire takes readers ever deeper into the acts and meaning of living a life of community and social commitment.

For Freire, commitment entails any person’s engagement with the realities of the world as they are, not as we would wish them to be. For teachers specifically, this commitment is not only to students, to the underprivileged, or to the education of those who speak a different language, but to the transformation of the self to become more deeply responsive to the needs of social transformations.

More than any other Freire book, Pedagogy of Commitment speaks directly and plainly to the lives of individuals and to teachers. It is an inspiring and passionate call from a global giant of progressive education.

PaUlo freire (1921-1997) was one of the world's most influential education writers. He is the author of many books, including Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Pedagogy of Freedom (2001).

Teaching for dissentCitizenship Education and Political Activism

sarah m. stitzleinTeaching for Dissent looks at the implications of new forms of dissent for educational practice. The reappearance of dissent in political meetings and street protests opens new possibilities for improved democratic life and citizen participation.

This book argues that this possibility will not be fulfilled if schools do not cultivate the skills necessary for our citizens to engage in political dissent. The authors look at how practices in schools, such as the testing regime and the 'hidden curriculum', suppress students’ ability to voice ideas that stand in opposition to the status quo.

Teaching for Dissent calls for a realignment of the curriculum and the practices of schooling with a guiding vision of democratic participation.

sarah m. sTiTzleiN teaches in the Education and Women’s Studies departments at the University of New Hampshire. Her book Breaking Bad Habits of Race and Gender: Transforming Identity in Schools (2008) won the American Educational Studies Association Critics Choice Award.
