Capitalism and crises: How to fix them
The ambassadors: Thinking about diplomacy from Machiavelli to modern times
The ambassadors is a splendid book, but it is not about ambassadors. It could have been called The diplomats, in echo of Gordon Craig and Felix Gilbert's The diplomats: 1919–1939 (Princeton University Press, 1953), yet its scope is wider. The most telling title might be Profiles in statecraft, for, like John F.

Empire in retreat: The past, present, and future of the United States
Victor Bulmer-Thomas has produced a comprehensive and compelling account of the establishment, the extension and, now, the erosion of American power. Bulmer-Thomas is a Latin America and Caribbean specialist.

These failings are partially explained by the fact th…

What could have, and should have, been an especially informative book on an extraordinarily topical subject—the emergence of NGOs in China and the changing role of the party state—suffers from the fatal flaw to which serious scholarship is prone, especially in the French-speaking trad…
