World Order after Leninism examines the origins and evolution of world communism and explores how its legacies have shaped the post-Cold War world order. The lessons of Leninism continue to exert a strong influence in contemporary foreign affairs--most visibly in Poland and other post-communist states of the former Soviet Union, but also in China and other newly industrialized states balancing authoritarian impulses against the pressures of globalization, free markets, and democratic possibilities. World Order after Leninism began as a conversation among former students of Ken Jowitt, professor of political science at the University of California at Berkeley from 1970-2002 and whose monumental career transformed the fields of political science, Russian studies, and post-communist studies. Using divergent case studies, the essays in this volume document the ways in which Jowitt's exceptionally original work on Leninism's evolution and consolidation remains highly relevant in analyzing contemporary post-communist and post-authoritarian political transformations.
While paradigm-bound research has generated powerful insights in international relations, it has fostered a tunnel vision that hinders progress and widens the chasm between theory and policy. In this important new book, Sil and Katzenstein draw upon recent scholarship to illustrate the benefits of a more pragmatic and eclectic style of research.
In "Managing "Modernity,"" Rudra Sil examines how
institution-builders respond to the competing influences of
institutional models and inherited social legacies as they attempt
to generate and sustain authority in late-industrializing
societies. Through a historical and comparative study of
large-scale enterprises in Japan and Russia, the book examines the
impact of different institution-building strategies on managerial
authority, invoking the experience of postwar Japan to highlight
the benefits of a syncretic approach that selectively integrates
adaptable features of borrowed institutions with portable norms
inherited from preexisting communities.
The Politics of Labor in a Global Age analyses and compares changing patterns of labour relations in late-industrializing and post-socialist economies. The volume features original and timely essays on the distinctive responses to common economic pressures associated with globalization as late-developing economies engage in economic liberalization and post-socialist economies cope with the dismantling of command economies.
