Globalization and New Public Management pose major challenges to
the policy capacity of the state. Challenges to State Policy
Capacity offers the most timely and comprehensive coverage of
contemporary state policy capacity. Drawing on the work by
international leading scholars in political science and public
administration, the book is indispensable to anyone interested in
policy capacity, administrative reform and the state.
Western societies are becoming increasingly complex and challenging
to govern, yet the modern state continues to play a central role in
governance. This book presents a detailed analysis of the
challenges confronting the contemporary state and the processes
through which the state addresses those challenges. The notion of
"governing without government" is critiqued; instead, Pierre and
Peters argue that what is happening a more a matter of state
transformation than state decline.

Psychiatry Reborn: Biopsychosocial Psychiatry in Modern Medicine is
a comprehensive collection of essays by leading experts in the
field, and provides a timely reassessment of the biopsychosocial
approach in psychiatry. Spanning the sciences and philosophy of
psychiatry, the essays offer complementary perspectives on the ever
more urgent importance of the biopsychosocial approach to modern
medicine. The collection brings together ideas from the series of
Loebel Lectures by world leaders in the field of psychiatry and
associated Workshops at the University of Oxford, including revised
versions of the Lectures themselves, and a wide range of related
commentaries and position pieces. With contributions from
psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, the book
provides the most comprehensive account to date of the interplay
between biological, psychological, and social factors in mental
health and their ethical dimensions. The 23 chapters of this
multi-authored book review the history and place of the
biopsychosocial model in medicine, and explore its strengths and
shortcomings. In particular, it considers how understanding this
interplay might lead to more effective treatments for mental health
disorders, as developments in genomic and neurobiological medicine
challenge traditional conceptions and approaches to the research
and treatment of mental health disorders. The book explores the
challenges and rewards of developing diagnostic tools and clinical
interventions that take account of the inextricably intertwined
bio-psycho-social domains, and the ethical implications of the
conceptualization. It concludes with chapters drawing together the
book's range of expertise to propose a best conception of the
model, and how it might be adopted going forward in an age of
exponentially increasing technological advances and of
integrated/collaborative care. The volume is intended to present
the BPS model as it stands today in the academy, the lab, and the
clinic, and to start to address the challenges and potential that
the model has for each.
Marshaling a great deal of new information in a highly readable
manner, the author explains the reasons for the dramatic expansion
of arms sales during the past decade and clearly traces such trends
as the rise in sophistication of weapons being sold so as to
include the most advanced technologies, and the shift in sales to
unstable parts of the Third World. Originally published in 1982.

Eight prominent Russian experts contribute to this unique
Russian-American analysis of the state of Russia's arms industry
and national export controls, as well as the strategic implications
of Russian arms sales to China and clients in the Middle East.
Since the early 1990s, Russia's once colossal defense-industrial
complex has been in upheaval. Parts of the arms industry have
collapsed, and hopes for conversion from military to civilian
production have proven largely illusory. An aggressive arms-sales
policy--seen as a panacea--has also met with mixed results. At the
same time, turmoil in domestic politics and in the reform process
has limited and slowed much-needed changes in the industry's
organization, operations, decisionmaking, and controls over the
export of arms and sensitive technologies. The authors examine
these and other issues posed by Russia's participation in the world
arms trade, weigh the chances of Russian-American discord over arms
exports to " rogue states" as well as the possibilities for arms
cooperation; discuss the prospects for Russia's expanded
participation in multilateral arms restraint and international
norm-setting, and offer policy proposals. The book evolved from
discussions of the Russian-American working group on conventional
arms proliferation convened by the co-editors at the Carnegie
Endowment's Moscow Center.

With the post-cold war emphasis on the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction, the neglected dimension has been the spread of
advanced conventional arms. Yet these are the arms most likely to
be used in conflict. They present the greatest diversion from
economic and social development, and are the centerpiece of
regional security balances. This book examines the policies and
practices of the major arms-supplying nations, looks at the impact
of weapons purchases on the principal recipient regions and the
possibilities for regional arms control, and dissects the economics
of arms exports for the producer nations in both the developing and
industrialized worlds. The book thoroughly discusses the
opportunities for, and obstacles to, achieving multilateral
restraint on arms. In addition to the editor, contributors are Ian
