Book Description

For decades, policies pursued by the U.S. and other industrialized nations towards the developing world have has been based on a dirty little secret among policy experts: democracy and development don't mix. Turning this long-held view on its head, The Democracy Advantage makes a bold case that they do.

In this timely, penetrating analysis, the authors of this path breaking book dismantle the conventional wisdom that democratic reforms are destabilizing and that the U.S. must first promote development - often relying on authoritarian regimes - in order to create a middle class that will support democracy.

Reviewing 40 years of hard, empirical data, from China and India to Chile and Iraq, the authors show that poor democracies beat poor autocracies in every economic measure. In addition, the authors offer dramatic evidence that democracies are less likely to fight each other and that terrorists more often find safe haven in authoritarian countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.

Wide-ranging and grounded in solid research, The Democratic Advantage outlines a new vision of foreign policy that combines the best of America's democratic and economic values.

Convincing Argument.......2005-07-22

Conventional thinking is that democracy stunts development and that the U.S. must first work towards development even if it means propping up tyrants. This book impressively argues against this assertion using empirical data. The book makes an effective argument.

Michael Signer, a Democratic insider, writes on his blog DemocracyArsenal.org that this theme harks back to Woodrow Wilson. Progressives today are not at the forefront of this issue and must take it back from the neocons.

An interesting idea from an interesting book.

What an 11 Bravo CIB holder thinks about this book. .......2005-06-05

I saw the authors on Book TV when the book first came out. They were so non-dogmatic and sensible I just had to read their book. It is everything good that the professional reviews mention. Terrorism is so complex and so difficult to control. But it is a fact that terrorists and war generally do not come from democracies so spreading democracy could be our best weapon against terrorism. The book provides empirical data to make the point that under all circumstances we should leverage everything we have to help developing countries on the path to democracy. And they are not talking about militarism. They understand practical matters but they have a better way. It is all about coordination of efforts involving institutions (IMF, World Bank, IFI's like the EBRD) and countries with one goal, democracy for the world. These guys know what they are talking about and how to implement change and development without shock and awe.
This is not some fun book to read. It is a combination of academic and practical thinking. But honestly it seems to hold the keys to the kingdom. They have a big picture answer.

Shows a harrowing yet realistic picture of modern Egypt.......2006-07-10

This book shows modern day Egypt in a disturbingly realistic way as country on its knees, ready to succumb to the problems of overcrowding and a dying economy, which will eventually lead to the horrors of mass hunger and extreme poverty. It does so by showing how President Nasser killed the Egyptian economy through gross mismanagement, how President Sadat wasted many opportunities to revive it, and how President Mubarak is now powerless to do anything about it.

This book was a very interesting read and revealed perspectives on modern Egyptian history that was quite refreshing. I'd definitely recommend this book to anybody who is interested in modern Egyptian history.

Book Description

Peace and Prosperity in an Age of Incivility presents a comprehensive theory about peace and prosperity. It asserts that three core political values liberty, order, and equality-must be allocated by societies through law and policy.

VERY Informative.......2006-07-17

The book explains the reasons for political conflict within nations and across nations. It explains the reasons for the cultural and military conflict now ongoing in the Middle East and how it is little different from conflicts in other parts of the world. This is because these conflicts, and all political conflicts in general, have the same type of motivators. The first three chapters brilliantly discuss American culture and that topic is interweaved throughout all the other chapters while it is also related to how political conflict can be avoided. Accordingly, if the offered recipe is followed, a nation can receive the prosperity benefits that come from doing so. Although the author uses the intellectual approaches of game theory and spatial theory (with nice little illustrations to make it easy to follow along), he does it in a way that even a novice who has never been exposed to those approaches can understand. This book represents a nice merger among history, culture, and rational choice approaches to understanding our political and social world.

A must for every social science book collection.......2006-04-30

This book utilizes game theory and spatial theory to provide a comprehensive theory of peace and prosperity. It explains complicated phenomena in easy to grasp language. It borrows from multiple disciplines, so it can be used for general purposes and as a textbook for both undergraduate and gradutate level courses. It points the way for nations to maximize economic, political, and social modernization. If the recipe is followed by most or all nations, the world will a better place.

A Comprehensive Explanation of Peace and Prosperity.......2006-03-28

This book brings together cultural theories, economic theories, social theories and methodological theories (basic game theory and spatial theory) to make a remarkable claim: that balancing the values of liberty, order/virtue, and equality in a nation's policy and law maximizes a nation's peace and prosperity. It is simultaneously an explanation of peace and violence as well as prosperity and poverty. It explains how the United States has achieved the most perfect balance and how this put the US at the top of most of the positive economic, social and political indicators and near the bottom of the negative indicators. It explains the democratic peace: the notion that democracies rarely fight each other in military confrontations and when they do, it is brief, does not escalate and is resolved diplomatically with the disputants becoming allies or even friends again. It offers a guide to societies seeking peace and prosperity and that program is one of moderation and balance. It includes a wide-ranging discussion of Western and American culture, but its greatest contribution is to show that the democratic peace and its basis, the balance of values, is (for those familiar with game thoery) a "Nash Equilibrium" as well as a "structure-induced equilibrium and a self-enforcing majority equilibrium. This makes the balance of values and democracy the ultimate destiny of all nations.

A serious-minded albiet strident discussion.......2006-10-04

Now in a revised and updated second edition, Cooperative Capitalism: A Blueprint For Global Peace And Prosperity is a politically charged economic treatise that asks: why are so many resource-filled nations stricken with poverty while resource-poor nations are wealthy and consume the greater part of world resources? The answer according to author J. W. Smith is "plunder-by-trade", a process that destroys undeveloped nations' ability to process resources and sell them to their own people, forcing them to become dependent on imports and accelerating poverty because money flows directly out of the nation instead of circulating among the nation's people (the economic multiplier effect). Modern "plunder-by-trade" often involves selling subsidized food, or even donating clothing, putting local agriculture and textile operations out of business, increasing unemployment, and further impoverishing the nation - one example is the Ukraine, which went from breadbasket to bankrupt in response to foreign powers. Cooperative-Capitalism denounces such impoverishment and concentration of power in the wealthy elite of dominant nations as deliberate, accuses military efforts of dominant nations of furthering the process, and stridently calls for economic policy imperatives to reduce rather than create poverty - especially those promoting self-sufficiency through protectionism in the nations whose struggling industries need it the most. A serious-minded albiet strident discussion of a very real worldwide economic problem.

Very informative, shows Ike's "Hidden Hand" at work.......2000-05-28

You need to understand that this is a college text book and as a result, the writing is a little inflated. That being said, the author presents a good premise and makes his case very well, showing how Eisenhower's use of public relations agencies, Robert Montgomery, and others helped the GOP and the President in particular fare very well in the public's eye. The account of how the Presidential news conference was created (to avoid the President's message from being "interpreted" by the reporters or having the press neglect the message the White House wanted to get out) is very informative and something viewers of modern day news conference should keep in mind as well. Good book that also goes a long way in dispelling the notion that Dwight D. Eisenhower was a do-nothing President.

Book Description

SOCIAL SCIENCE / POLITICAL / GENERAL Womanhood is an embodiment of love, motherhood, blessings, better presidency and compassionate leadership. Femininity is indispensable. Women motivational abilities make them outstanding managers of human and economic resources. They represent the magic wand for progress and development, stability, peace and prosperity. They do better in education, health-care, socio-economics, politics and focus better with political savvy and sagacity, transparency, security and spirituality. They excel in diplomacy, peaceful conflict resolution, love, empathy, sincerity, responsibility and discrimination-free irrespective of race, color, religion, gender or disability. Antithetically, manhood characterizes war presidency, defensiveness, negligence and staying the course with failed policies, prosecuting avoidable wars instead of diplomacy to win hearts and peace. Unwittingly, they sacrificed over 3,000 US soldiers, 20,000 wounded, over $500 billion and created scandals and civil war. If the first woman 'Eve' turned the world up-side-down, great women world-wide should realign it upward and forward moving. Unequivocally, a woman US President can speedily restore America's image which is at its lowest ebb. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
