Barbarians at the Gate
  • Religious Rhetoric and Nativist Parties in Central Europe
  • Emma Rosenberg

  • The legacy of fascism has challenged far-right expansion in Central Europe, yet nativist parties have found a workaround without compromising exclusionary ethno-nationalist agendas. Barbarians at the Gate explores the under-studied role that religion plays in the promotion of the ethno-nationalist agendas currently chipping away at liberal democratic protections. The book identifies a democratic erosion grounded in a Christian Nationalist concept of the ethno-nation fused with Christianity. Through a combination of interviews, new surveys with Austrian and German voters, and an original dataset of nativist and radical-right party rhetoric, it demonstrates how nativist parties use religion as a vehicle for democratic erosion, even in nations long-seen as bastions of democracy. Especially in Germany, where the hurdles to a far-right comeback are high, understanding how nativist parties use religious framing to sidestep the legacies of Nazism while still promoting ethno-nationalism is critical.

Against Managerialist Research

  • Offering a rigorous critique of the scientific assumptions and ideological commitments that underlie contemporary managerialist research, this book exposes the foundational premises that sustain this influential approach. Mats Persson and Jan Ch. Karlsson define managerialism as an ideology that elevates management's goals and values to a universal status, shaping both research and practice. They demonstrate how managerialism promotes the alignment of workers' identities and aspirations with managerial objectives while excluding them from meaningful democratic participation in shaping those objectives. Tracing managerialist research back to Scientific Management and Human Relations-not merely to neoliberalism or New Public Management-the authors examine its two core dimensions: that workers are inherently irrational and that workplace democracy constitutes a threat against management and employers. They unpack managerialism's confused interpretations of organisational misbehaviour and resistance, analyse the ideological foundations of managerialist leadership theories, and ultimately propose more robust, democratic approaches to researching working life.

Representation from Below
  • The Grassroots Origins of Women's Political Power in India
  • Tanushree Goyal
  • Coming soon

  • After decades on the sidelines, women are now central to India's political and development agenda. Representation from Below traces this transformation away from the halls of power toward women's inclusion in local politics and their reordering of party organization. Drawing on fieldwork, survey data, and natural experiments, the book shows how women in local politics built grassroots chapters of women's party wings and recruited other women into them, expanding parties' organizational capacity to mobilize women voters. As women became electorally consequential, party elites adapted, reshaping policies and opening pathways to higher office. Challenging views that clientelist parties or patriarchal norms block women's agency, the book demonstrates how gendered constraints became sources of leverage over parties. The book expands how we understand women's political inclusion-not only as a matter of legitimacy or representation-but as a source of organizational capacity that reshapes who parties mobilize and who they ultimately serve.

Citizenship Deprivation and the Constitutional State
  • The Politics of (Un) Belonging
  • Rachel Pougnet
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:

  • Citizenship deprivation has made a striking return to the political and legal landscapes of liberal democracies. How can we account for this return and the subsequent normalisation of the powers? What explains 'resistances' to this return and variation between state practices? More broadly, what do we learn about citizenship deprivation when we read it through a constitutional lens? This book addresses these key questions through an in-depth, historically grounded, comparative analysis of France and the UK. In the book, citizenship deprivation is revealed not as a narrow counter-terrorism tool but as a racialised migration mechanism embedded in constitutional architectures and rooted in colonial legacies. By connecting citizenship regimes to state's constitutional structures, this book also shows how constitutional stories about citizenship infuse the behaviours of state actors (providing legitimation frames and discourses) and how these stories tie to states' structures, eventually accounting for variations between state practices.

Beyond Cosmopolitanism
  • Public Support for Immigration
  • Rahsaan Maxwell
  • Coming soon

  • Immigration has reshaped and transformed societies, redefining what it means to belong. As movement across borders accelerated after World War II, European cultures diversified in profound and lasting ways. 'Beyond Cosmopolitanism' offers a comprehensive examination of the people who actively support immigration, tracing how their attitudes vary across countries and evolve over time. It reveals who these individuals are, where they live, and how deeply rooted their views are – whether through personal relationships with immigrants or through civic and political engagement on immigration issues. Drawing on cross-national statistical analyses, original survey experiments, and in-depth qualitative interviews, Rahsaan Maxwell uncovers the complex motivations and commitments behind these attitudes. With additional insights from civic engagement in the United States and global patterns of immigration opinion, this book provides a wide-ranging perspective on the forces shaping public support for immigration today.

Theories of Intergroup Relations
  • Psychological Perspectives in Global Context

  • While intergroup relations research has expanded globally, few resources offer a comprehensive grounding in its major theories. This book bridges that gap by providing critical assessments of the major theories of intergroup relations, their applied implications, and the empirical research that tests them. It traces the development of the field by examining major theories of intergroup behavior – from identity-based, materialist, and irrationalist perspectives to theories centered on justice, conflict, evolution, and system justification – and also critically assesses assimilation, multiculturalism, omniculturalism, and intergroup contact. The book concludes by showing how integrating existing theories with feminist frameworks, allyship, and intersectionality can help build more powerful and coherent models for understanding intergroup relations. By systematically analyzing these approaches and their practical applications, Theories of Intergroup Relations deepens our understanding of intergroup dynamics and supports the development of strategies for fostering more harmonious relations among diverse groups.

Bridging Political Divides
  • A Collaborative–Developmental Approach

  • We are living in an increasingly polarized political world. Partisans routinely view members of opposing political parties as out-of-touch, stupid, crazy, or even evil. This book calls for the creation of a more collaborative democracy to bridge these divides. It does so by noting that modern democracy is based primarily on adversarial practices – we seek to solve political problems through debating, campaigning, and voting. Drawing on an 18-month study, Michael F. Mascolo shows how individuals with opposing beliefs were able to use the principles and practices of conflict resolution to address three contentious socio-political issues: school dress codes, capital punishment, and race relations involving the police. Their success illustrates how collaborative problem-solving can generate genuine, shared solutions to seemingly intractable problems, offering insights for scholars and practitioners seeking to reduce polarization and strengthen democratic life. An essential read for researchers, politicians, and policy makers interested in resolving political polarization.

Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models for Longitudinal Networks

  • Interest in social networks – patterns of relations between social actors such as individuals, corporations, and countries – has grown in the last decade, and analysis of longitudinal network data has moved forward strongly. Social networks often change; understanding this process, where changes lead to other changes, requires tools that can uncover the rules driving these changes. In 'Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models for Longitudinal Networks,' Tom A. B. Snijders and Christian Steglich bring together the first comprehensive textbook on the Stochastic Actor-Oriented Model (SAOM), a leading method for analyzing dynamic network data. They present the diverse SAOM variants developed over the past three decades, covering the co-evolution of networks and actor attributes as well as the co-evolution of multiple one-mode and two-mode networks. Providing a foundation for applying the methods as well as advice for problems encountered in practice, this book offers a detailed guide into the best practices of modeling longitudinal network data.

The Geography of Power
  • Steppes and the Deep Roots of Autocracy
  • William R. Thompson, Leila Zakhirova

  • Why are most contemporary autocracies concentrated between Siberia and Central Africa while other regions remain largely democratic? This book uncovers the deep historical forces behind that divide, tracing how geography-particularly the vast steppe grasslands-and political-economic conflicts between nomadic and sedentary societies shaped enduring patterns of power. These structured conflicts reinforced authoritarian persistence across half the globe, creating a binary world with starkly different opportunities and threats. The result is a long-standing geopolitical fault line that continues to shape global politics today, exemplified by the autocratic axis of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Combining insights from geography, history, and political economy, this book offers a compelling explanation of why authoritarianism thrives -and why democracy prevails elsewhere.

The Practice of Multi-Method Research

  • Can interviews or a focus group improve the causal inferences drawn from experiments? Can quantitative text analysis help develop workflows as a qualitative scholar? Can we learn from a single case in a way that helps us with a statistical model? There is much to learn from the careful use of all these methodological combinations. The Practice of Multi-Method Research is aimed at practical researchers: from undergraduates preparing for an honors thesis, to graduate students designing a dissertation, through to seasoned scholars considering a new approach for their next set of studies. It offers a hands-on, practical guide to combining research across various methodological traditions: qualitative, machine learning, and quantitative approaches to concepts and measurement, adding quantitative and data-science components to process-tracing designs and to qualitative case studies in general, how qualitative research can strengthen regression-type designs, and how to mix qualitative elements with experiments..

  • Revolutionary Cuba does not recognize the liberal rights on which LGBTQ advocates in the United States rely. How then, has legal progress occurred for LGTBQ people in Cuba? This book traces the history of LGBTQ identity and law in Cuba and the US from the turn of the twentieth century through the legalization of same-sex marriage. It investigates material and discursive conditions during and after the Cold War and the under-recognized importance of legal consciousness. Applying comparative legal analysis, genealogy, critical social theories, and interviewing, the book produces an encounter between Cuba and the US that directs attention to the millions of constitutive run-ins that occur daily between the global and the local. Rich and insightful, it reveals how law and identity evolve under imperialism, anxious nationalisms, racial stratification, and economic hardship.
