Child Protection
Using Research to Improve Policy and Practice
Ron Haskins, Fred Wulczyn, and Mary Bruce Webb, eds.

The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) is the first nationally representative study of children who have been reported to authorities as suspected victims of abuse or neglect and the public programs that aim to protect them. Child Protection is the first book to report the results of NSCAW, interpret the findings, and place them in a broader policy context.

NEW & NOTABLE

Beyond Preemption
Force and Legitimacy in a Changing World
Ivo H. Daalder, ed.

America's recent wars have raised profound questions about military force: When is its use justifiable? For what purpose? Who should make the decision on whether to go to war? Beyond Preemption moves this debate forward with thoughtful discussion of what these guidelines should be and how they apply in the face of today's most pressing geopolitical challenges: terrorism, WMD proliferation, and humanitarian emergencies.

BEYOND PREEMPTION

New Financial Instruments and Institutions
Opportunities and Policy Challenges
Yasuyuki Fuchita and Robert E. Litan, eds.
Brookings and the Nomura Institute of Capital Markets Research

Japan's financial institutions and instruments are closely related to the United States model. In both countries, new financial instruments, such as structured financial products and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and new financial institutions—which include hedge funds and private equity funds—present opportunities as well as policy and regulatory challenges. This timely book presents important and original research on these new institutions and instruments, illustrating the similarities and differences across the two countries.

NEW FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS & INSTITUTIONS

Journey into Islam
The Crisis of Globalization
by Akbar Ahmed

"Professor Akbar Ahmed has written a book of extraordinary insight. There are few people in the world with such an intimate understanding of America, Europe and Islam. Equally there are few who have the experience and knowledge to interpret the one to the other. This is a book which exposes the full seriousness of current tensions but one which is full of hope because it not only deepens understanding but charts a better way. Politicians, faith, and community leaders will benefit greatly from his perceptive analysis and his constructive proposals."
—Lord Bishop James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool/House of Lords, London

JOURNEY INTO ISLAM

Decentralizing Governance
Emerging Concepts and Practices
G. Shabbir Cheema and Dennis A. Rondinelli, eds.

In this thought-provoking book—the first in a new series on Innovations in Governance—experts in government and public management trace the evolution and performance of decentralization concepts, from transfer of authority with government to the sharing of power, authority, and responsibilities among broader governance institutions.
