The essays collected in this volume examine the impact of international conflict on domestic politics through studies of events of the 1980s. The findings expand upon previous crisis theories and put them into a cross-national context. Each article presents a variant of the type of impact that international crisis may have on domestic politics. Public opinion and the conditions under which it may solidify or unravel during an international crisis is also explored. Relationships between international crisis and public opinion, political leadership, and public policy are closely analyzed by the various essayists. Also studied are the dynamics of change that result from international crisis.

The following countries and events are examined in International Crisis and Domestic Politics: The United States and intervention overseas during the Reagan years; Britain and the Falklands War; the Soviet Union and Afghanistan; Israel and the Middle East; external economic sanctions and South Africa; Northern Ireland's reaction to the British presence; and New Zealand and the ANZUS conflict. This volume will be of relevance to courses in international relations, comparative politics, and political psychology.

In recent years many employers in the U.S., Great Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere, often in partnership with their unions, have turned to new approaches to managing and resolving workplace disputes. In the U.S. this movement is often called "alternative dispute resolution" (ADR), an approach that involves the use of mediation, arbitration, and other third-party dispute resolution techniques, rather than litigation, to resolve workplace disputes. Some employers have established so-called "conflict management systems," a pro-active, strategic approach to handling workplace conflict. This volume contains chapters by some of the world's leading scholars of workplace dispute resolution and conflict management as well as chapters by emerging younger scholars in these fields. The chapters present original research that combines cutting-edge thinking about the theoretical dimensions of ADR and conflict management along with rigorous empirical analyses of real-life data.

This book describes the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, also known as LIHEAP, with a focus on funding, program rules and eligibility. LIHEAP was established in 1981 as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, and is a block grant program under which the federal government makes annual grants to states, tribes, and territories to operate home energy assistance programs for low-income households. States may use LIHEAP funds to help households pay for heating and cooling costs, for crisis assistance, weatherization assistance, and services (such as counseling) to reduce the need for energy assistance.
