NEW BOOKS Campaign 2012 Twelve Independent Ideas for Improving American Public Policy Benjamin Wittes, ed. eady or not, the quadrennial run for the White House is upon us. American voters face a very different landscape than they did four years ago, when the Rpresidential race was relatively wide open and neither the sitting president nor vice president was seeking the nation’s highest office. Osama bin Laden and Muammar Qadaffi are gone, but so are millions of American jobs. It is springtime in much of the Arab world, but for many voters this is the winter of their discontent. Governing the United States will be supremely difficult for whoever emerges in November 2012—reading this book would be a good first step. Campaign 2012: Twelve Independent Ideas for Improving American Public Policy is an indispensable guide to the key questions facing White House hopefuls in 2012. It fea- tures a dozen accessible yet authoritative analyses, each one focusing on a specific policy issue currently vexing the nation. All of the authors are Brookings scholars. In addition to contributing a chapter on terrorism, editor Benjamin Wittes draws from • Advertising: New York Review of Books; each of the Brookings Institution’s research programs in this wide-ranging survey of Journal of Economic Literature; Perspectives on Politics; POLITICO; local radio national policy in America. • Major electronic outreach: Facebook, Twitter, Among the Brookings authors lending their expertise is Ron Haskins (Creating an Brookings UpFront Blogs, webcasts Opportunity Society) on fiscal policy.

Alice Rivlin, former director of both the Congressional followed up by three issue-specific events Budget Office and the president's Office of Management and Budget, examines health care issues. As the presidential contest heats up, an increasingly disgruntled public’s focus on domestic politics will intensify. Former White House policy adviser William Galston opines on possible political and institutional reform. Hot-button domestic issues, such as health care and housing, come under the microscope as well. Economist Ted Gayer discusses America’s options regarding energy and climate while Bruce Katz, director for metropolitan policy, takes a fresh crack at “Rethinking Federalism.” The capstone of a major institution-wide initiative, Campaign 2012 truly is Brookings at its best—explaining tough problems in accessible terms, and proposing viable solutions. It is one-stop shopping for citizens in need of a primer on the issues that will drive the 2012 presidential campaign. Benjamin Wittes is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. Before joining Brookings, he served nine years as an editorial writer for the Washington Post. His previous books include Detention and Denial: The Case for Candor after Guantánamo (Brookings, 2010) and Law and the Long War: The Future of Justice in the Age of Terror (Penguin, 2008). He and Jeffrey Rosen are coeditors of the 2011 Brookings book Constitution 3.0: Freedom and Technological Change.

Bader n 2005 Jeffrey Bader, a veteran U.S. diplomat and Asia policy analyst, was asked to meet and discuss international trade policy with the junior U.S. senator from IIllinois. Bader came away greatly struck and impressed by Barack Obama and eventually came to co-chair the presidential candidate’s advisory team on Asia policy. When Obama assumed the presidency, Bader became the senior director for East Asian affairs with the National Security Council. In Obama and China’s Rise, Bader discusses what he did, what he saw, and what it meant for Obama’s policy toward the all-important East Asia region—first in the presidential campaign, and then in his administration. The result is a fascinating backstage view of the formulation and execution of American foreign policy as well as a candid evaluation of the same, including recommendations for future policy. Obama’s intent was to extend U.S. influence and presence in East Asia, which he felt had been neglected because of American preoccupation with the “war on terror,” • Major publicity campaign with print and the Middle East, and especially Iraq.

  • Wellbeing in Politics and Policy
    WELLBEING IN POLITICS AND POLICY Series Editors: Ian Bache, Karen Scott and Paul Allin WELLBEING ECONOMICS The Capabilities Approach to Prosperity Paul Dalziel, Caroline Saunders and Joe Saunders Wellbeing in Politics and Policy Series Editors Ian Bache Department of Politics University of Sheffield Sheffield, UK Karen Scott Cornwall Campus Exeter University Penryn, Cornwall, UK Paul Allin Department of Mathematics Imperial College London London, UK Wellbeing in Politics and Policy will bring new lenses through which to under- stand the significance of the dramatic rise of interest in wellbeing as a goal of public policy. While a number of academic disciplines have been influential in both shaping and seeking to explain developments, the Politics discipline has been relatively silent, leaving important theoretical and empirical insights largely absent from debates: insights that have increasing significance as political inter- est grows. This series will provide a distinctive addition to the field that puts politics and policy at the centre, while embracing interdisciplinary contribu- tions. Contributions will be encouraged from various subfields of the discipline (e.g., political theory, comparative politics, governance and public policy, inter- national relations) and from those located in other disciplines that speak to core political themes (e.g., accountability, gender, inequality, legitimacy and power). The series will seek to explore these themes through policy studies in a range of settings – international, national and local. Comparative studies – either of dif- ferent policy areas and/or across different settings – will be particularly encour- aged. The series will incorporate a wide range of perspectives from critical to problem-solving approaches, drawing on a variety of epistemologies and meth- odologies.

  • Cold War: a Report on the Xviith IAMHIST Conference, 25-31 July 1997, Salisbury MD
    After the Fall: Revisioning the Cold War: A Report on the XVIIth IAMHIST Conference, 25-31 July 1997, Salisbury MD By John C. Tibbetts “The past can be seized only as an image,” wrote Walter Benjamin. But if that image is ignored by the present, it “threatens to disappear irretrievably.” [1] One such image, evocative of the past and provocative for our present, appears in a documentary film by the United States Information Agency, The Wall (1963). Midway through its account of everyday life in a divided Berlin, a man is seen standing on an elevation above the Wall, sending out hand signals to children on the other side in the Eastern Sector. With voice communication forbidden by the Soviets, he has only the choreography of his hands and fingers with which to print messages onto the air. Now, almost forty years later, the scene resonates with an almost unbearable poignancy. From the depths of the Cold War, the man seems to be gesturing to us. But his message is unclear and its context obscure. [2] The intervening gulf of years has become a barrier just as impassable as the Wall once was. Or has it? The Wall was just one of dozens of screenings and presentations at the recent “Knaves, Fools, and Heroes: Film and Television Representations of the Cold War”—convened as a joint endeavor of IAMHist and the Literature/Film Association, 25-31 July 1997, at Salisbury State University, in Salisbury, Maryland— that suggested that the Cold War is as relevant to our present as it is to our past.

  • Report: the Federal Role and School Integration
    The Federal Role and School Integration Brown’s Promise and Present Challenges Janel George and Linda Darling-Hammond FEBRUARY 2019 The Federal Role and School Integration: Brown’s Promise and Present Challenges Janel George and Linda Darling-Hammond Acknowledgments In 1951, a 16-year-old sophomore at Robert Russa Moton High School in Farmville, VA—Barbara Rose Johns—staged a student protest of the segregated school’s deplorable conditions and set in motion events that would change the course of history. Those events would culminate in the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education, which signaled the death knell for Jim Crow education and the “separate but equal” doctrine. We thank her and the countless other students who demanded—and continue to demand—quality educational opportunities. We would like to acknowledge the educators, parents, families, and students who courageously stood—and continue to stand—on the front lines of integration efforts in service of securing access to quality educational opportunities for all children. The authors thank their LPI colleagues Jessica Cardichon, Peter Cookson Jr., and Kathryn Bradley for their support and feedback on this report. We acknowledge the work of organizations and advocates who have identified, developed, and implemented evidence-based strategies included in this report that serve to promote diverse and inclusive learning environments in which all children can succeed. For their contributions to editing, design, and production on this project, we thank Bulletproof Services, River Graphics, Aaron Reeves, Caitlin Scott, and Erin Chase. Without their generosity of time and spirit, this work would not have been possible.
