Ruth Perry · Oxford University Press · 2025
In "The Ballad World of Anna Gordon, Mrs. Brown of Falkland," Ruth Perry details what we know about the ways folk ballads were created and transmitted; how Anna Gordon came to know so many; the social and political climate in which they existed; and why these songs meant so much in Scotland and elsewhere in the Atlantic world.
Roger Petersen · Oxford University Press · 2024
"Death, Dominance, and State-Building" provides the first comprehensive analytic history of post-invasion Iraq. Although the war is almost universally derided as one of the biggest foreign policy blunders of the post-Cold War era, Petersen argues that the course and conduct of the conflict is poorly understood. The book applies an accessible framework to a variety of case studies across time and region. It concludes by drawing lessons relevant to future American military interventions.

In their chapter, "What Causes Residential Mortgage Defaults?" the authors assess the voluminous research investigating why households default on their residential mortgages. A particular focus is oriented towards critically evaluating the recent application of causal statistical inference to residential defaults on mortgages.
R. David Edelman · Oxford University Press · 2024
Fifteen years into the era of "cyber warfare," are we any closer to understanding the role a major cyberattack would play in international relations - or to preventing one? Uniquely spanning disciplines and enriched by the insights of a leading practitioner, Edelman provides a fresh understanding of the role that digital disruption plays in contemporary international security.
Ben Ross Schneider · Oxford University Press · 2024
In "Routes to Reform," Ben Ross Schneider examines education policy throughout Latin America to show that reforms to improve learning - especially making teacher careers more meritocratic and less political - are possible. He demonstrates that contrary to much established theory, reform outcomes in Latin America depended less on institutions and broad coalitions, and more on micro-level factors like civil society organizations, teacher unions, policy networks, and technocrats.
Danielle Wood · Oxford University Press · 2023
"Reclaiming Space" is an innovative study of space travel's history, legitimacy, and future. Wood's chapter, "Opportunities to Pursue Liberatory, Anticolonial, and Antiracist Designs for Human Societies Beyond Earth," is one of 27 original essays seeking to incubate, illuminate, and illustrate a more diverse and inclusive conversation about space exploration.
Robert S. Pindyck · Oxford University Press · 2022
Climate change initiatives typically focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions - but what happens if these efforts fall short? In his latest book, Pindyck, an environmental economist, contends that most countries will not come close to meeting their CO2 reduction goals. He recommends adaptations such as sea walls and dykes, hybrid crops, and large-scale geoengineering.
Gabriella Carolini · Oxford University Press · 2022
In this book, Carolini emphasizes that equitable partnership on the ground delivers the best results in the Global South. In her view, the best development projects involve close cooperation between proximate peers: the sharing of information among partners, a consistent presence on the ground, nonhierarchical governance, and a drive toward "equity," in many forms, as a key project goal.
Deborah Blum · Oxford University Press · 2022
Undark, the digital science magazine published by KSJ Drawing on insights from writers based at publications including The New York Times, the BBC, The Washington Post, Science, The New Yorker, National Geographic and more, this book serves as an essential survey of the best in science reporting today - and a testament to the importance of independent journalistic inquiry in understanding research and building trust with audiences.
Gabriella Y. Carolini · Oxford University Press · 2022
Based on a close examination of international cooperation projects in the water-and-sanitation sector in Maputo, Mozambique, this book describes the factors that shape equity in development practice. It also provides a framework for how project evaluations, as a key narrative instrument, can promote distributive, procedural, and epistemic justice.
