Everything started with a controversy between Conservatives and Liberals in the Bush II years, about Middle East Studies. The shock of 9/11 made many people look toward the community of Middle East experts with questions like: why did they not predict what happened? Could they warn us? What's the use of these studies anyway? Etc... However, when one follows the debate, one realizes that the kind of problems it raised could not get convincing answers without linking what happened inside the campus with ideas, and persons, in other organizations and institutions, like think tanks and media corporations... This book shows that to answer the questions of the debate about Middle East studies in the USA, without linking them to the structural tools that contribute in shaping the American mind and the making of foreign policy, would be just amputating the facts from their normal context. It shows that these structural tools happen to be also the revolving doors of power in the USA.

Men beyond revolving doors illustrate how hotel walls have the power to bring out its guests’ true character. As Sally, the hotel receptionist, scrupulously yet obscurely unfolds each of her guests’ cloaks-and-daggers, she barely realizes the changes it had on her. In the industry that embraced her, it is only a choice of submitting to it or betraying it - either way, these changes reached too grave of an extent that it may be too late for her to hold back.

As far back as she could remember Anna Veneziano felt misplaced, "As is I had slipped into the wrong womb at the wrong time." The daughter of a Baptist minister in a predominantly Catholic country Anna retraces her memories of an Italian girl born under Mussolini's regime, trapped by fears grown out of religious beliefs and the dangers of war. Her experiences come to life on stitch at a time wrapped with a strong sense of place, history, mysticism, folklore, laughter, and tears. After the war, her journey to America brings her to find in her own life the truth which only the story can reveal.

In recent decades Washington has seen an alarming rise in the number of "revolving door lobbyists"—politicians and officials cashing in on their government experience to become influence peddlers on K Street. These lobbyists, popular wisdom suggests, sell access to the highest bidder. Revolving Door Lobbying tells a different, more nuanced story. As an insider interviewed in the book observes, where the general public has the "impression that lobbyists actually get things done, I would say 90 percent of what lobbyists do is prevent harm to their client from the government." Drawing on extensive new data on lobbyists’ biographies and interviews with dozens of experts, authors Timothy M. LaPira and Herschel F. Thomas establish the facts of the revolving door phenomenon—facts that suggest that, contrary to widespread assumptions about insider access, special interests hire these lobbyists as political insurance against an increasingly dysfunctional, unpredictable government. With their insider experience, revolving door lobbyists offer insight into the political process, irrespective of their connections to current policymakers. What they provide to their clients is useful and marketable political risk-reduction. Exploring this claim, LaPira and Thomas present a systematic analysis of who revolving door lobbyists are, how they differ from other lobbyists, what interests they represent, and how they seek to influence public policy. The first book to marshal comprehensive evidence of revolving door lobbying, LaPira and Thomas revise the notion that lobbyists are inherently and institutionally corrupt. Rather, the authors draw a complex and sobering picture of the revolving door as a consequence of the eroding capacity of government to solve the public’s problems.

This book compares and contrasts leadership in Japan, South Korea and China, examining the impact of globalization on leadership styles and trends. Presenting some of the most recent findings in leadership studies in these three countries, the collection explores the power relationship between political and business leaders; employer-employee relationships and pro-social behaviour; the measurement of effective leadership; the relationship between leadership and corporate success; the survival of private firms in a tightly controlled or socialist market; and the evolution of leadership styles in the transition from state-owned to semi-private. Although many studies have offered explanations of East Asian economic and corporate success, this book presents empirical evidence to explain the leadership styles in Japan, South Korea and China, and provides a fresh outlook for those studying business and leadership in the region. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Business Review.
