Sinossi

Compact Decisions explores how seemingly minor, rapidly-made political decisions can have profound and lasting impacts on history and politics. It challenges the notion that grand strategies alone shape historical outcomes, arguing instead that the accumulation of short-sighted choices often plays a more crucial role. For example, expedited legislative processes can unintentionally erode citizen rights, while quick-response foreign policy decisions can destabilize international relations. The book uniquely focuses on the often-overlooked area of immediate responses and their long-term consequences, rather than long-term strategic planning. It uses political science, historical analysis, and economic principles to analyze domestic policy and international relations case studies. 

 
Examining the impact of reactive governance, the book progresses from introducing the concept of compact decisions to analyzing specific historical instances. Through case studies and analysis of government documents, policy reports, and historical accounts, the author demonstrates how these decisions affect societies, economies, and international relations. 

 
The book concludes by offering a model for understanding and mitigating the risks associated with reactive decision-making, providing insights for policymakers and anyone interested in the complexities of governance.

Marcus Klein

Global Poverty: Global poverty remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time, reflecting a deepening divide in the world’s wealth. Despite advances in technology, medicine, and economic systems, billions of people continue to live in conditions of extreme deprivation. This chapter introduces the complexities of global poverty, exploring its definition, scope, and implications for societies worldwide.  
Refugees: The refugee crisis is one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time. Across the globe, millions of individuals are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, persecution, and natural disasters. These displaced individuals, known as refugees, face an uncertain future, often enduring unimaginable hardships in their quest for safety and stability. As of recent estimates, more than 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, with a significant portion seeking refuge in countries that already face their own social, political, and economic challenges. The sheer scale and complexity of the crisis demand urgent attention from governments, international organizations, and civil society to find sustainable solutions.

Command of Commerce - America's...

Ben A. Vagle, Stephen G. Brooks

The conventional wisdom has held that China's economic power is very close to America's and that Washington cannot undertake a broad economic cutoff of China without hurting itself as much, or more. In Command of Commerce, Ben A. Vagle and Stephen G. Brooks show the conventional wisdom is wrong on both fronts. The authors argue that America's economic power has been underestimated because conventional economic measures have ignored America's unprecedented control over the world's largest multinational corporations. They further argue that China's economic power has been overestimated due to Beijing's manipulation of its economic data and measurement issues presented by China's uniquely structured economy. The authors also show Washington could impose massive, disproportionate harm on Beijing if it imposed a broad economic cutoff on China in cooperation with its allies or via a distant naval blockade. Across six scenarios, China's short-term economic losses from a broad cutoff range from being five to eleven times higher than America's. And in the long run, America and almost all its allies would return to previous economic growth levels; in contrast, China's growth would be permanently degraded.
