Policing Democracy: Overcoming Obstacles to Citizen Security in Latin America
by Mark Ungar2011 Winner of the Charles H. Levine Memorial Book Prize of the International Political Science AssociationLatin America’s crime rates are astonishing by any standard—the region’s homicide rate is the world’s highest. This crisis continually traps governments between the need for comprehensive reform and the public demand for immediate action, usually meaning iron-fisted police tactics harking back to the repressive pre-1980s dictatorships. In Policing Democracy, Mark Ungar situates Latin America at a crossroads between its longstanding form of reactive policing and a problem-oriented approach based on prevention and citizen participation. Drawing on extensive case studies from Argentina, Bolivia, and Honduras, he reviews the full spectrum of areas needing reform: criminal law, policing, investigation, trial practices, and incarceration. Finally, Policing Democracy probes democratic politics, power relations, and regional disparities of security and reform to establish a framework for understanding the crisis and moving beyond it.

The Political Determinants of Health
by Daniel E. DawesHow do policy and politics influence the social conditions that generate health outcomes?Reduced life expectancy, worsening health outcomes, health inequity, and declining health care options—these are now realities for most Americans. However, in a country of more than 325 million people, addressing everyone's issues is challenging. How can we effect beneficial change for everyone so we all can thrive? What is the great equalizer? In this book, Daniel E. Dawes argues that political determinants of health create the social drivers—including poor environmental conditions, inadequate transportation, unsafe neighborhoods, and lack of healthy food options—that affect all other dynamics of health. By understanding these determinants, their origins, and their impact on the equitable distribution of opportunities and resources, we will be better equipped to develop and implement actionable solutions to close the health gap.Dawes draws on his firsthand experience helping to shape major federal policies, including the Affordable Care Act, to describe the history of efforts to address the political determinants that have resulted in health inequities. Taking us further upstream to the underlying source of the causes of inequities, Dawes examines the political decisions that lead to our social conditions, makes the social determinants of health more accessible, and provides a playbook for how we can address them effectively. A thought-provoking and evocative account that considers both the policies we think of as "health policy" and those that we don't, The Political Determinants of Health provides a novel, multidisciplinary framework for addressing the systemic barriers preventing the United States from becoming the healthiest nation in the world.
Political Economics: Explaining Economic Policy
by Torsten Persson Guido Enrico TabelliniWhat determines the size and form of redistributive programs, the extent and type of public goods provision, the burden of taxation across alternative tax bases, the size of government deficits, and the stance of monetary policy during the course of business and electoral cycles? A large and rapidly growing literature in political economics attempts to answer these questions. But so far there is little consensus on the answers and disagreement on the appropriate mode of analysis. Combining the best of three separate traditions--the theory of macroeconomic policy, public choice, and rational choice in political science--Torsten Persson and Guido Tabellini suggest a unified approach to the field. As in modern macroeconomics, individual citizens behave rationally, their preferences over economic outcomes inducing preferences over policy. As in public choice, the delegation of policy decisions to elected representatives may give rise to agency problems between voters and politicians. And, as in rational choice, political institutions shape the procedures for setting policy and electing politicians. The authors outline a common method of analysis, establish several new results, and identify the main outstanding problems.
The Political Economy of Japanese Monetary Policy
by Thomas F. Cargill Michael M. Hutchison Takatoshi ItoThis book is about the formulation and execution of Japanese monetary policy within a broad political and institutional context. We explore the creation and the evolution of central banking in Japan, the institutional structure, how policy is formulated and how it has evolved in the face of Japan's changing domestic and international environment, and how policy is influenced by Japan's political institutions and by the Bank of Japan's formal and informal relationship with the Ministry of Finance. Our primary focus is on recent experience, especially since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. Though we also discuss the historical record and the "high growth" with a fixed exchange rate in the period 1959-1971, the fundamental changes on the real and financial sides of the Japanese economy that have occurred in the past 20 years have done much to diminish the relevance of the previous periods to the present workings and policies of the Bank of Japan.
