自由是什么？正义、法律、财产、和平以及繁荣和自由之间存在何种关联？汤姆•帕尔默作为学者、教师和记者用其一生来探究和回答这些问题。他最好的文章都被集入了这本《实现自由：自由意志主义的理论、历史与实践》，覆盖正义理论、多元文化、民主和有限政府、全球化、知识产权的法律与经济分析等多个领域。 个人自治的自由意志主义者的概念常常被批评为，狭隘的和自私的个人主义，不关心周围的世界。汤姆•帕尔默的这本著作最大的贡献在于消除以上的错误概念。他论证了个人自治的力量可以促进交流和合作，有益于整个社会。他再次提醒我们个人自由是我们这个社会里最宝贵的财富。

For more than two decades, John J. Mearsheimer has been regarded as one of the foremost realist thinkers on foreign policy. Clear and incisive as well as a fearlessly honest analyst, his coauthored 2007 New York Times bestseller, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, aroused a firestorm with its unflinching look at the making of America's Middle East policy. Now he takes a look at another controversial but understudied aspect of international relations: lying. In Why Leaders Lie, Mearsheimer provides the first systematic analysis of lying as a tool of statecraft, identifying the varieties, the reasons, and the potential costs and benefits. Drawing on a wealth of examples, he argues that leaders often lie for good strategic reasons, so a blanket condemnation is unrealistic and unwise. Yet there are other kinds of deception besides lying, including concealment and spinning. Perhaps no distinction is more important than that between lying to another state and lying to one's own people. Mearsheimer was amazed to discover how unusual interstate lying has been; given the atmosphere of distrust among the great powers, he found that outright deceit is difficult to pull off and thus rarely worth the effort. Moreover, it sometimes backfires when it does occur. Khrushchev lied about the size of the Soviet missile force, sparking an American build-up. Eisenhower was caught lying about U-2 spy flights in 1960, which scuttled an upcoming summit with Krushchev. Leaders are more likely to mislead their own publics than other states, sometimes with damaging consequences. Though the reasons may be noble--Franklin Roosevelt, for example, lied to the American people about German U-boats attacking the destroyer USS Greer in 1940, to build a case for war against Hitler-they can easily lead to disaster, as with the Bush administration's falsehoods about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. There has never been a sharp analysis of international lying. Now a leading expert provides a richly informed and powerfully argued work that will change our understanding of why leaders lie.

《维基政府:运用互联网技术提高政府管理能力》为数字时代的民主政治提供了一种彻底的重新思考。贝丝·西蒙·诺维克通过讲述她创建美国联邦政府的第一个社会网络革新办法——同行专利审核计划的故事，告诉我们技术如何将众人的知识与少数人的权力结合起来，将创新带入政府管理中。开始于2007年的同行专利审核计划利用网络将专利审核人员与科学家志愿者和技术人员连接起来。政府的专利审核员传统上是秘密开展工作的，有些必要的信息并不能进入到他们的视野之内，而且他们要争分夺秒与时间赛跑去裁定那些冗长的技术性的专利要求。而同行专利审核打破了这种模式，通过创建自选公民专家网络，将他们的知识和热情转变成一种可以被专利审核员轻松利用的形式，极大地提高了专利审核的效率与透明度。 同行专利审核计划的实践为政府管理提供了值得借鉴的经验：如何设计更好的方法使公众参与到政府的管理中，如何创造政府内部以及政府、企业和个人联成一体的新的合作机会。通过技术手段对公民参与的鼓励、协调以及构建，可以使政府在解决今天复杂的社会和经济问题方面变得既公开又高效。《维基政府:运用互联网技术提高政府管理能力》描述如何将这种模式应用于更广泛的公共管理领域，并为21世纪提供一个有关政府管理和民主政治的基本思想。

Publisher Comments: Beijing presents a clear and gathering threat to Washington--but not for the reasons you think. China's challenge to the West stems from its transformative brand of capitalism and an entirely different conception of the international community. Taking us on a whirlwind tour of China in the world--from dictators in Africa to oligarchs in Southeast Asia to South American strongmen--Halper demonstrates that China's illiberal vision is rapidly replacing that of the so-called Washington Consensus. Instead of promoting democracy through economic aid, as does the West, China offers no-strings-attached gifts and loans, a policy designed to build a new Beijing Consensus. The autonomy China offers, together with the appeal of its illiberal capitalism, have become the dual engines for the diffusion of power away from the West. The Beijing Consensus is the one book to read to understand this new Great Game in all its complexity.

Widely read for its insights into history and politics, The Prince is one of the most provocative works of the Italian Renaissance. Based on Niccolo Machiavelli's observations of the effectiveness of both ancient and contemporary statesmen, the rules for governing set forth in his manual were considered radical and harsh by his contemporaries and shocking to many others since then.This major new edition combines an accurate and accessible new translation with important related documents, many of which appear here in English for the first time. In his clear yet comprehensive introductory essay, William J. Connell offers fresh insights into Machiavelli's life, the meaning of his work, the context in which it was written, and its influence over time. Document headnotes, maps, a chronology of Machiavelli's life, questions for consideration, a selected bibliography, and index provide further pedagogical support.
