(Reviewing 40 years of hard, empirical data, from China an...)
Reviewing 40 years of hard, empirical data, from China and India to Chile and Iraq, the authors show that poor democracies beat poor autocracies in every economic measure. In addition, the authors offer dramatic evidence that democracies are less likely to fight each other and that terrorists more often find safe haven in authoritarian countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.

( The first edition of Bureaucratic Politics and Foreign ...)
The first edition of Bureaucratic Politics and Foreign Policy is one of the most successful Brookings titles of all time. This thoroughly revised version updates that classic analysis of the role played by the federal bureaucracy—civilian career officials, political appointees, and military officers—and Congress in formulating U.S. national security policy, illustrating how policy decisions are actually made. Government agencies, departments, and individuals all have certain interests to preserve and promote. Those priorities, and the conflicts they sometimes spark, heavily influence the formulation and implementation of foreign policy. A decision that looks like an orchestrated attempt to influence another country may in fact represent a shaky compromise between rival elements within the U.S. government. The authors provide numerous examples of bureaucratic maneuvering and reveal how they have influenced our international relations. The revised edition includes new examples of bureaucratic politics from the past three decades, from Jimmy Carter's view of the State Department to conflicts between George W. Bush and the bureaucracy regarding Iraq. The second edition also includes a new analysis of Congress's role in the politics of foreign policymaking.

LIMITED WAR IN THE NUCLEAR AGE is a thought -provoking and realistic appraisal of how nations can best obtain their objectives without running unnecessary risks of all out war. Combining theory with political actuality, Dr. Halperin concludes his book with a number of policy recommendations for the United States, taking into account both insights from history and the evolving nature of the Sino-Soviet threat.

Examining the dynamic movements for self-determination that are erupting around the world, this book considers the right and wisdom of intervention to support or oppose such movements and proposes policy guidance for the US government, particularly the criteria for support groups seeking self-determination for political recognition and for non-forcible and forcible interventions.
