This is an age of crisis: economic, political, environmental, and social. Yet the nature of contemporary crisis is often misunderstood. Crisis, rather than being accidental or episodic -- as is too often assumed -- has been a regular feature of state practice in the neoliberal austerity regimes of contemporary capitalism. In this timely work Jeff Shantz gives special attention to the particular manufactured crises associated with austerity regimes and conditions of precarity within contemporary capitalism, and how Crisis States differ from other forms of state practice.Crisis is a powerful weapon of states and capital in the pursuit of accumulation, exploitation, and control. Engaging insights from anarchism and autonomous Marxism, Shantz lays bare the real nature and character of crisis as political and social pursuits of state and capital under precarious capitalism.Attention is also given to social resistance under crisis state conditions. Contemporary capitalism renders the oppressed and exploited precarious at the same time as opportunities are opened to render the system itself precarious. Understanding Crisis States and precarious capitalism is crucial in considering prospects for resistance.

Holger Janusch wirft einen detaillierten Blick auf alle bilateralen Verhandlungen der Vereinigten Staaten über Freihandelsabkommen seit Gründung der Welthandelsorganisation, um eine Lücke in der aktuellen Forschung zur US-Handelspolitik zu schließen. So lassen sich aus der Betrachtung bilateraler Verhandlungen der Vereinigten Staaten, die in der Forschung kaum Beachtung finden oder völlig unbekannt sind, nicht nur vielfältige Erklärungsansätze zur US-Handelspolitik prüfen, sondern auch neuere Entwicklungen erkennen und Lehren für aktuelle Verhandlungen wie über das transatlantische Freihandelsabkommen ziehen. Das Buch dient zugleich als Überblickswerk für Forscherinnen und Forscher, die sich mit Außenhandelspolitik und Verhandlungstheorien beschäftigen. Der Inhalt Forschungsstand zur Handelspolitik der Vereinigten Staaten Verhandlungen über Freihandelsabkommen: Von der Clinton-Administration über die Trade Promotion Authority und das May 10th Agreement unter Präsident Bush bis zur Obama-Administration Die Zielgruppen Studierende und Lehrende der Politik- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften Journalistinnen und Journalisten Der Autor Dr. Holger Janusch ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.

"This report describes research conducted to improve the Army's ability to use recruiting resources and enlistment eligibility policies effectively to meet enlisted accession requirements under good, average, and bad recruiting conditions. We consider the cost of meeting accession requirements when an optimal mix of television advertising and enlistment incentives is feasible (the baseline strategy) or when an incentive-centric strategy -- which favors incentives over other resources due to incentives' faster rate of increasing recruits -- is required"--Publisher's web site
