WHAT'S NEW
 TEACHING THE VIOLENT PAST
edited by Elizabeth Cole
How does a society deal with a violent past? Published in September 2007, Teaching the Violent Past: History Education and Reconciliation, examines the politics of how history is taught and the making of national identities and national memories following a conflict within a society.
This volume grew out of a five-year research project sponsored by the Carnegie Council and is co-published by the Council and Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. Using an interdisciplinary approach, it covers nine case studies in Germany, Japan, Canada, Northern Ireland, Guatemala, Spain, Russia, North and South Korea, and India and Pakistan.
Don't miss the Council's online book companion, which features discussion questions and additional resources.

The latest issue of our journal includes John W. Dietrich on the President’s emergency plan for AIDS relief; Nancy Kokaz on poverty and global justice; Lisa Forman on access to medicines; and Alessandra Arcuri on the precautionary principle.
It also features a special Online Symposium. Robyn Eckersley explores the prospects and limits of ecological intervention in the pages of the journal, and scholars Mathew Humphrey, Simon Dalby, Clare Palmer, and Mark Woods respond online.

With the advent of global capitalism, consumers have many more choices and investors are doing well. But democracy, charged with caring for all citizens, is becoming less and less effective, warns Robert Reich.
HOG PILOTS, BLUE WATER GRUNTS: THE AMERICAN MILITARY IN THE AIR, AT SEA, AND ON THE GROUND
The Pacific is no longer an American lake, says Robert Kaplan, and with the rise of China and India, we should accept that we are moving once again towards a multipolar world.
REPUBLIC DOT COM 2.0
The internet offers us unprecedented access to information. Yet it also allows us to block out diverse ideas, selecting only articles and blogs that reinforce our existing opinions, says Cass Sunstein. What does this mean for democracy?
