Voluntary Associations
A vast and complicated array of subject matter is subjected to analysis, comment, and speculation by fifteen contributors representing three separate but contiguous disciplines. Their approaches are as various as one would expect. One is concerned with the bonds that hold associations together, and another with the tendency for the private to become public. One sees associations as interferences with democratic political processes, while another is more impressed by their positive values. Still another shows that the way in which they operate in the political process depends not only on the kind of association but also upon the political context within which they operate.

A Displaced Nation
In A Displaced Nation, Phi-Van Nguyen argues that the displacement of eighty thousand mostly Roman Catholic evacuees from North Vietnam in 1954 had a profound impact on the war opposing Saigon on both Hanoi and on the evacuees themselves. Assisting with the transportation, emergency relief, and resettlement of the evacuees allowed diverse organizations and the United States to support Saigon. This transnational mobilization also convinced the evacuees the "free world" would never let Vietnam remain divided. Many people see the Vietnam wars spanning from 1945 to 1989 as separate conflicts. But Nguyen demonstrates that the evacuees experienced a continuous civil war. A Displaced Nation shows the evacuees felt so validated by transnational support that they thought they could use this external help to return one day to the north. This belief was not constant nor were the strategies to achieve it the same for all, but through their political activism and action the evacuees showed they were willing to seize any opportunity to oppose Hanoi during the subsequent decades, even once established overseas.
A Matter of Indiscretion
With his facility for languages and gift for diplomacy, Thomas Pearce is perfectly suited for his recent position in the Foreign Office. Or so he imagines until he receives his first assignment. Instead of a safe consular post in a friendly country, Thomas is going to France to rescue Sabine Rousseau, the illegitimate daughter of Britain’s premiere. Sabine and Thomas must make their escape, and it won’t be easy. Her uncle considers her a ticket to curry favor with Napoleon and won’t let her disappear without a fight. To avoid detection, the couple must pretend to be amorous newlyweds and this proves the most difficult task of all. Because it isn’t long before neither of them is pretending and every night, there’s only one bed. (Previously published as The Spy's Fake Bride.)
Western Political Thought
One cannot overstate the value of political theory. Studying political ideas from different eras might help you see the bigger picture and make better future plans. Politicians and future politicians might develop more sophisticated solutions to current challenges by studying political philosophy in its historical context. Western political theory forms the foundation of contemporary global politics. Studying political philosophy often begins with western authors, namely the greeks, since their hypotheses are written alone in separate expositions, rather than being interwoven throughout literature that is primarily religious or moral, unlike what was case mostly with its eastern counterparts. Consequently, this book starts with plato then covers some of the most influential western philosophers throughout history, such as Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Bentham, Mill, Hegel, Green Marx, and others. This book takes an analytical approach to its subject matter, while its writing style keeps it short and simple. Both educators and ordinary readers would get a wealth of useful information throughout this book.
Judging War Crimes And Torture
This volume shows that even democratic countries, like France but not France alone, can commit war crimes, crimes against humanity and even be accomplices in genocides. However, past crimes must be recalled and exposed, particularly if they have been hidden, covered by amnesties, and not judicially punished. They must be visible as part of a country's history in order to ensure that they are not repeated.
Natural Law Modernized
Braybrooke challenges received scholarly opinion by arguing that canonical theorists Hobbes, Locke, Hume, and Rousseau took St Thomas Aquinas as their point of reference, reinforcing rather than departing from his natural law theory.

The book brings together cutting-edge scholarship from the United States and Europe to address political and cultural responses to the arms race of the 1980s.
