In this paper, we argue that although international influences played a significant role in Indonesias democratic transition, Soehartos demise was not the consequence of diplomatic pressure or other democracy-promoting interventions.]]>Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:33:00 PSThttp://global.stanford.edu/publications/22220?http://global.stanford.edu/publications/22218CISAC, April 8, 2008

Within the context of CDDRLs project on democratic transitions, this paper explores the causes for the failure of Algeria to democratize in the 1990s. Adhering to the projects common case study framework, the paper outlines the impact of long term structural variables before moving on to an examination of the domestic, then external variables that acted around the moment of potential transition in 1991-1992. In conclusion, the paper highlights the mutual interaction of domestic and external variables in explaining the failed transition outcome in the Algeria case.]]>Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:43:46 PSThttp://global.stanford.edu/publications/22213?http://global.stanford.edu/publications/22212Stanford Center for International Development, June 2008

National Security Consequences of U.S. Oil Dependency, a report by the Council on Foreign Relations Independent Task Force on Energy, concludes that the "lack of sustained attention to energy issues is undercutting U.S. foreign policy and U.S. national security." The report goes on to examine how America's dependence on imported oil - which currently comprises 60 percent of consumption- increasingly puts it into competition with other energy importers, notably the rapidly growing economies of China and India.]]>Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:20:56 PSThttp://global.stanford.edu/publications/22205?http://global.stanford.edu/publications/22204Center for a New American Security Publications, July 2008
The next president of the United States must forge a new national security strategy in a world marked by enormous tumult and change and at a time when Americas international standing and strategic position are at an historic nadir. Many of our allies question our motives and methods; our enemies doubt American rhetoric and resolve. Now, more than at any time since the late 1940s, it is vital to chart a new direction for Americas global role.]]>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:52:53 PSThttp://global.stanford.edu/publications/22204?http://global.stanford.edu/publications/22201Health Affairs vol. 27, 7/2008

In a region popularly associated with monolithic states controlling secretive but effective national oil companies, Kuwait presents a surprising picture of bitterly divided government and a chaotic and fragmented oil sector. PESD affiliate Paul Stevens dissects the historical legacies and tangled webs of interaction with government that explain the current performance and erratic strategy of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation.]]>Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:32:05 PSThttp://global.stanford.edu/publications/22199?http://global.stanford.edu/publications/22198Cambridge University Press, 2008
Combining international legal theory and transaction cost economics, this book develops a novel, comprehensive framework which reveals the factors that determine the optimal balance between institutional credibility and flexibility. The author tests this rational design paradigm on four recent anti-trafficking efforts: narcotics, money laundering, conflict diamond, and small arms. She sheds light on the reasons why policymakers sometimes adopt suboptimal design solutions and unearths a nascent trend towards innovative forms of international cooperation which transcend the limitations of national sovereignty.]]>Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:50:14 PSThttp://global.stanford.edu/publications/22198?
