Patterns of Political Leadership
Patterns of Political Leadership is a study of political leaders in one of the world's most volatile areas—the Middle East. It focuses on the highest levels of political leadership in three countries—Egypt, Israel and Lebanon. Within a cross-national framework the three elite groups are analyzed both aggregately and over time, in terms of recruitment, circulation, social background, and behavioral characteristics. Theoretical and methodological problems of equivalence and comparability are confronted and a number of hypotheses advanced regarding elite characteristics, many of which are expected to shape internal and external policies of the three countries. The Israeli and Egyptian group...
Authoritarian Constitutionalism
The contributions to this book analyse and submit to critique authoritarian constitutionalism as an important phenomenon in its own right, not merely as a deviant of liberal constitutionalism. Accordingly, the fourteen studies cover a variety of authoritarian regimes from Hungary to Apartheid South Africa, from China to Venezuela; from Syria to Argentina, and discuss the renaissance of authoritarian agendas and movements, such as populism, Trumpism, nationalism and xenophobia. From different theoretical perspectives the authors elucidate how authoritarian power is constituted, exercised and transferred in the different configurations of popular participation, economic imperatives, and imaginary community.

Jewish Palestine: A Celebration of the Yishuv
Their violent expulsion in late antiquity notwithstanding, Jews have lived in the area the Roman occupiers renamed Palestine continuously for several thousand years. By the 1860s, Jews once again formed more than half of Jerusalem’s population. The institutions and infrastructure established from the 1880s onwards with a view to creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine are generally referred to as the Yishuv. The dogged determination of all too many to bring about the destruction of the State of Israel is inseparable from the sustained and equally dogged efforts to erase the history of Jewish life in Palestine prior to 1948, which this volume celebrates.

The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Constitutional Law
The field of comparative constitutional law has grown immensely over the past couple of decades. Once a minor and obscure adjunct to the field of domestic constitutional law, comparative constitutional law has now moved front and centre. Driven by the global spread of democratic government and the expansion of international human rights law, the prominence and visibility of the field, among judges, politicians, and scholars has grown exponentially. Even in the United States, where domestic constitutional exclusivism has traditionally held a firm grip, use of comparative constitutional materials has become the subject of a lively and much publicized controversy among various justices of the U...
The Fourth Reich
The first history of postwar fears of a Nazi return to power in Western political, intellectual, and cultural life.
Beyond the Swastika
O'Brien argues convincingly that fears of a resurgent German nationalism are exaggerated. He highlights the `technocratic liberalism' of the elite which, paradoxically, hinders full rights of political participation for minorities.
