Psychiatric Truth and Narrative Hermeneutics
Authors: Lewis Bradley 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter develops the perspective that psychiatry is a narrative hermeneutic practice. It uses Edwidge Danticat’s short story, “Sunrise, Sunset,” as a window into human concerns that can become “psychiatric problems” in a clinical situation. It then considers two imaginary clinical encounters if the lead character were to come to a psychiatrist for help. The first encounter is with a diagnostic psychiatrist trained in accordance with key textbooks published by the American Psychiatric Association. The second is with a narrative psychiatrist. Interestingly, narrative hermeneutics helps make sense of both these encounters, whether or not the psychiatrist uses a narrative frame. The chapter concludes with some reflections on the implications of this perspective for psychiatric practice, research, and education.
The Origins of the Baltic Question
Authors: Bergmane Una 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the three elements that made the Baltic situation a specific case in the Soviet context: the decision in 1940 by the United States not to recognize the annexation of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as legal; the emergence of an active and well-organized Baltic-American diaspora during the Cold War; and the rise of the Baltic independence movements in the late 1980s. In addressing these three topics, the complexity of the Baltic issue is revealed: the legal debate about their international status, the ties between the Baltic diaspora and the US Congress, and the multi-causal roots of Baltic discontent with the Soviet rule.
“Have you not noticed our absence?”
Authors: Bergmane Una 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter follows the transformation of the Baltic question from a purely internal Soviet nationalities problem to an international issue in 1989. It analyzes the Soviet and American policies toward Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in the context of Eastern European revolutions, highlighting the American unwillingness to get involved with the Baltic question, as well as the country’s inability to avoid it. The chapter sheds light on Baltic attempts to use the history of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to delegitimize Soviet rule, both at home and abroad. It pays particular attention to the relations between Baltic independence movements and other Soviet actors such as Gorbachev’s liberal advisors, Yeltsin’s circle, and other republics. The chapter ends with the Malta summit, during which Bush and Gorbachev failed to effectively communicate their respective positions on the Baltic issue.
The Rise of the Republics, the Fall of the Center
Authors: Bergmane Una 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter underscores US attempts to understand the complexity of the Soviet domestic struggles and predict the possible future of the USSR during the first half of 1991. It describes the increasing power diffusion in the Soviet Union and the growing cooperation between the Baltic states and Boris Yeltsin before turning toward the international recognition of the Baltic states after the August coup. The US and European decisions to restore diplomatic relations with the Baltic states did not mean the abandonment of Gorbachev or acceptance of Soviet disintegration. Rather, it was a final disconnection of the Baltic and Soviet questions.
Introduction
Authors: Kenny Kevin 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Until the 1870s, the federal government played almost no role in regulating immigration. The states controlled mobility within and across their borders. Defenders of slavery feared that if Congress had power to control immigration, it could also regulate the movement of free black people and perhaps the interstate slave trade as well. The Civil War removed the political and constitutional obstacles to a national immigration policy, and Chinese immigration was the catalyst for federal action. In 1875, Congress passed the Page Act, targeting Chinese prostitutes. To justify the exclusion of Chinese laborers, the Court ruled in Chae Chan Ping v. United States (1889) that power over immigrant admissions was inherent in national sovereignty. The federal government continues to control admissions and exclusions today, while cities and states regulate immigrants after they arrive. Some monitor and punish immigrants; others offer sanctuary and refuse to act as agents of federal law enforcement, thereby reasserting local sovereignty as a counterweight to federal power.
Introduction
Authors: Toft Monica Duffy , Kushi Sidita 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter begins with an overview of the book’s core argument, contextualized within critical historical debates on US grand strategy, from perspectives on restraint, offshore balancing, and selective engagement to deep engagement. The chapter then offers brief summaries of the history of war and diplomacy within the United States by tracing the evolutions of the current Department of State and Department of Defense. Next, the chapter introduces the book’s approach, before showcasing snapshots of leading trends in US foreign policy; comparing our Military Intervention Project (MIP) trends to those from the current leading data set on US military interventions, and explaining the pivotal eras that demarcate shifting US objectives. It also shows how current patterns of US foreign policy are detrimental to the future of the country and the world, before explaining the book’s structure.
America the Expander
Authors: Toft Monica Duffy , Kushi Sidita 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Using historical narratives, grand strategy applications, and data from the Military Intervention Project (MIP), this chapter traces the beginnings of the United States as a sovereign state from 1776 to 1864. Until the War of 1812, the United States was an isolated actor, with little presence on the international stage as it struggled for legitimacy with its traditional European powers. The United States undertook few military interventions in the form of colonial proxy wars within North America against its European rivals as well as some more distant skirmishes such as the Barbary Wars. But between 1813 and 1864, the United States’ objectives change to that of conquering the Great Frontier. Much of its foreign policy consists of waging the Frontier Wars against over 100 North American Indian nations, which are portrayed through historical and statistical evidence. The chapter assesses the United States’ growing military and economic power, concentrated within its continental-wide neighborhood.
America the Western Hegemon
Authors: Toft Monica Duffy , Kushi Sidita 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the United States vied for regional power within its neighborhood, now extending to Latin America and the Caribbean, and several islands in the South Pacific. This chapter traces how the once imperialized United States became the imperialist. Relying on historical narratives and data patterns from the Military Intervention Project (MIP), this chapter highlights key events in US foreign policy from 1865 to 1917, the pre–World War I era—including the Spanish-American War, Mexican Revolution, Banana Wars, and the Philippine-American War. As the United States progressed through the late 1800s and into the 1900s, it expanded its sphere of influence beyond its neighborhood and reached the heights of regional hegemony. Thus, the pre–World War I era from 1865 to 1917 characterized the United States as a growing imperialist power across Latin America and the Pacific, all while restraining European powers from economic and political gains in the continent.
America the Leader of the Free World
Authors: Toft Monica Duffy , Kushi Sidita 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The Cold War era from 1946 to 1989 marked the United States as one of two superpowers in a bipolar world order. The United States’ greatest objective was to deter Soviet Union expansion, whether it be territorial, militaristic, economic, or ideological. Foreign policy specialists and leaders came to a shaky consensus on how to deal with the Soviet threat: the policy of containment, which demanded high diplomatic engagement alongside selective military involvement. As political elites broadened interpretations of the strategy of containment, in the background, another policy alternate lingered—the doctrine of rollback. The persistent proponents of rollback pushed for greater, sustained US militaristic commitment to completely “roll back” new Soviet territorial gains in Europe and political influence from the world at large. While muted for part of the Cold War, the rollback camp never fully disappeared. Instead, they would come to push the policy of containment toward more belligerent ends.
Horn Call
Authors: de Alcantara Pedro 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
“Horn Call” is a thorough exploration of sound, vibration, and resonance. Its central archetype is reminiscent of hunting calls sounded by two horns playing together, a sonority used in numerous passages, movements, and compositions by many composers such as Scarlatti, Mozart, and Bruckner. The chapter presents exercises to enhance the pianist’s sensitivity to acoustic phenomena, to the relationship between gesture and sound, and to the influence of note groupings on gesture. Some of the exercises and compositions revisit the harmonic series, first studied in chapter 4. Compositions vary in length and style, some drawing indirect inspiration from Gustav Mahler and others offering a dialogue between raucous, loud sounds and the echo-like, consonant sonorities of the horn call. The chapter invites the pianist to string together a suite of pieces chosen from the chapter. Depending on which pieces the pianist choses, the suite may tell a heroic story of successful hunting, a troubling story of loss and loneliness, a story of obsession, and other stories still.
The Aftermath of Silencing the Trauma
Authors: Erlandsson Soly , Dauman Nicolas 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The association between silence and powerlessness is one reason behind rape victims’ decision to remain silent about the assault. Rape victims, who most often are traumatized, face a wide array of negative experiences as a consequence of the violence. At the heart of this trauma narrative is the case of a female patient, 70 years old, suffering from tinnitus, for which she was offered psychotherapy. During one of the last therapy sessions the patient disclosed that she was raped at the age of 22 by a man she met when searching for a job. This case study explores the complex relationship between sensory fragments (i.e., hallucinations and tinnitus) and the disclosure of a hidden trauma that occurred half a century earlier. It also illustrates how establishing a confidential therapeutic alliance can contribute to a sustained integration of fragmented experiences of the trauma into a personal history.
Protecting and Enhancing American Oceans Leadership—Managing Change in a Thawing Arctic and Conflict in the South and East China Seas as Critical Examples
Authors: Moore John Norton 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This Chapter explores how America’s non-accession to UNCLOS has damaged its traditional leadership in oceans matters. At least since World War II, the United States, with the largest navy and the largest economy in the world, and bordering three oceans, has been a leader in oceans policy matters. But to the delight of its enemies and the consternation of its friends, American oceans leadership has been significantly harmed by its absence from the Law of the Sea Convention. America has not been able to participate in the new oceans institutions created by UNCLOS, it has been relegated to second class citizenship as a mere observer in the annual UNCLOS Meeting of States Parties, it has reduced effectiveness in dealing with international negotiations affecting the oceans, such as the ongoing BBNJ negotiations, and American absence has hampered and delayed American industry and government from actively engaging oceans opportunities and challenges. As examples of the costs for American leadership from non-adherence this chapter examines in separate sections the important issues presented by a thawing Arctic Ocean, as well as conflict in the South and East China Seas.
A Compendium of Specific Examples of False or Misleading Arguments Made Against the UNCLOS Treaty
Authors: Moore John Norton 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This Chapter illustrates through specific examples how the opponents’ arguments against UNCLOS have been false or misleading. Through an illustrative compendium of thirty-six statements or arguments, each specifically quoted and its source identified, this Chapter presents the arguments made against UNCLOS as they were actually argued in print or to the Senate. And it then responds on each as to why the statement or argument is false or misleading. Of particular note, the compendium sadly illustrates the important opposition role played by the Heritage Foundation, likely a hangover from Heritage’s understandable opposition to the defects in Part XI on deep seabed mining before the renegotiation of that part of the Convention; a renegotiation which cured those defects and met all of President Ronald Reagan’s conditions for United States support. The author has been a supporter of the Heritage Foundation’s important work for national defense, reasonable regulation and taxes, fiscal responsibility, constitutional checks and balances, and the rule of law. But he points out that opposition from Heritage toward UNCLOS, if it continues to make the difference in preventing American adherence to the Convention, simply empowers China, the Russian Federation, and even close American allies to continue to swoop up the strategic minerals of the deep seabed while America stands by with primly averted eyes. Indeed, as the Prologue to this book notes, through its non-adherence to the Treaty the United States has already lost two of its four “USA” designated deep seabed sites with strategic minerals worth an estimated half a trillion dollars, and it is at risk of losing America’s remaining two sites for a total loss of a trillion dollars in strategic minerals. Continued opposition would also be counter to the position of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force, the United States Coast Guard, the United States Chamber of Commerce, the National Governor’s Association, the American Petroleum Institute (API), the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the National Oceans Industries Association, the Financial Round Table, and the American deep seabed mining, shipping and underwater cable industries, among others.
The Allure of Empire
Authors: Suh Chris 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Empires were never the agents of progress as their apologists claimed. Yet during the Progressive Era, various people across the Pacific turned to empires as a source of empowerment. While the United States and Japan strove to emerge as the world’s great powers, numerous Asians and African Americans embraced Japan to challenge long-standing assumptions of human inequality based on color. Japan’s allure, however, was hardly limited to nonwhite peoples. American policymakers perceived Japan as a “progressive” empire akin to their own, and the two powers cultivated an amicable relationship across the color line, even as they competed for influence in Asia and conflicted over Japanese immigration to the American West. The Allure of Empire traces how American ideas about Asians were made and remade on the imperial stage, and how these ideas shaped US foreign and immigration policies. Based on research conducted in South Korea and the United States, it uncovers how Americans justified Japan’s colonial rule in Korea by comparing it to the US rule in Cuba and the Philippines. It reveals that the United States refused to exclude Japanese immigrants the same way as it had excluded Chinese and Indian immigrants until American perceptions of Japan took a negative turn, in light of Japan’s violent treatment of Koreans and the Chinese. But even after Japanese exclusion in 1924, the mutual respect for “progressive” empires sustained the inter-imperial relationship until World War II, when both sides erased the history of their collaborations to cast each other as incompatible enemies.
Introduction: Seeing Race beyond the Color Line
Authors: Suh Chris 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The Introduction explains how Japan’s victory in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 inaugurated a new era in which a nonwhite race could disrupt the white-over-nonwhite hierarchy by adapting themselves to progressive imperialism and, in some cases, adopting it as their own. While some nonwhite observers hoped that this new era would be defined the revolution of the “colored races” against white supremacy, the world witnessed a long partnership between Japan and the United States that reinvented racial subjugation outside of the white-over-nonwhite hierarchy. This partnership across the color line, it explains, frustrated both anti-colonial movements in Asia and anti-Japanese immigration movements in the United States. The introduction uses snippets from the parallel lives of W. E. B. Du Bois and Yun Ch’i-ho, from the Russo-Japanese War to the Great Depression, to illustrate many of the major themes and historical problems discussed later in the book.
Justice in Human Capital
Authors: Cholbi Michael 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Human capital is that body of skills, knowledge, or dispositions which enhances the value of individuals’ contributions to economic production. Because human capital is both a byproduct of, and an important ingredient in, cooperative productive activities, it is subject to demands of justice. This chapter considers what comparative justice in human capital benefits and burdens amounts to, with a special concern for the place of equality in allocating such burdens and benefits. Identifying these demands is complicated by the fact that human capital is not discretely produced or exploited, making it difficult to envision human capital justice in historical terms. This chapter defends a nonhistorical alternative that (the chapter contends) both distributive and relational egalitarians can embrace, namely that an allocation of human capital burdens and benefits is just only if under that distribution, no individual prefers another’s ledger of benefits and burdens to her own.
Introduction
Authors: Matos Yalidy 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces the main arguments of the book and key terms. It contextualizes the argument that immigration attitudes are at bottom moral choices, utilizing Charles W. Mills’ theory of the racial contract as well as his concept of Herrenvolk ethics. In particular, this chapter sheds light on why immigration continues to be central to U.S. politics, and white American politics in particular, by tracing why and how whiteness is so deeply embedded in immigration politics, the role of group norms in performing whiteness, and how partisanship is implicated in the moral and political project of whiteness.
White Racial Privilege and Progressive Immigration Attitudes
Authors: Matos Yalidy 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 is the flip side of Chapter 3, examining a minority of whites who hold progressive immigration attitudes. This chapter argues that since whiteness structures immigration, an admission of white advantages and privilege should diminish restrictive immigration attitudes and influence progressive immigration attitudes among whites. In essence, it asks, why do some whites perpetuate the system of white supremacy while others reject it? Using the American National Election Studies (ANES) and the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), the chapter argues that the choice of race cognizance is a moral choice with deep political consequences and presents four important findings. First, awareness of white racial advantages among whites pushes whites toward more progressive attitudes. Second, predispositions, byproducts of socialization, moderate whether whites are pushed toward awareness or away from it. Third, patriotism is an important factor in determining white racial awareness. Finally, the influence of white racial awareness and predispositions are particularly telling for white Democrats.
Conclusion
Authors: Matos Yalidy 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The conclusion reviews the main findings of the book and draws broader implications from its argument. In sum, this book adds a much-needed lens not only for our understanding of white Americans’ attitudes toward immigration but also regarding a host of other social policies. After the Civil Rights Movement, white elites and organizations worked hard to disentangle white identity from whiteness. This has resulted in scholarship that also divorces whites’ attitudes and behavior from the political and moral decisions they continue to make. Without an understanding of how immigration continues to perpetuate white supremacy, imagining anything different is almost impossible. The United States has chosen whiteness as its modal category, and this has been and continues to be a moral choice, a choice that white Americans do not have to make, but most continue to do so.
Autocracy or Representation?
Authors: Pravilova Ekaterina 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
During Alexander I’s reign, intensive debates about the virtues of constitutional rule over unlimited monarchy unfolded against the background of near-constant warfare, which brought the ruble to the brink of collapse. In the minds of Russian reformers, the two issues—monetary and political—represented two sides of the same coin: a constitutional reform presupposed the introduction of a financial rule of law, while financial stability was unthinkable without limiting the power of monarchy. Mikhail Speransky built this dual principle into his reform plan of 1809, which was introduced in a severely truncated form, without a free Silver Bank or a representative legislature. The conservative opposition to Speransky’s reforms, which prevailed on the eve of Napoleon’s invasion in 1812, annulled his monetary innovations, including, most importantly, the silver standard, and proclaimed the ideas of a metal-based ruble incompatible with monarchy. The Napoleonic wars sealed the fate of Russia’s constitutional and monetary reforms.
Ruble’s Wars
Authors: Pravilova Ekaterina 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
After the end of the Russo-Turkish War, the Ministry of Finance, which pursued financial austerity and the ruble’s restoration, was attacked by conservative and nationalistic journalists who enjoyed the patronage of the tsar and succeeded in removing the minister of finance, Nikolai Bunge. In the absence of political parties, newspapers and their editors assumed the role of leaders of public opinion. Among the various components of state national identity, the nationalists singled out currency as a symbol of Russia’s distinctiveness, turning the ruble’s inconvertibility into a virtue. Conservative criticism of “Western” financial principles revealed not only growing discontent with the government’s stringent policy among the nobility and commercial elites but also anxiety among the elites over the prospect of joining the monetary realm of Western Europe, which in the 1870s had switched to the gold standard. In the 1880s, the government resumed preparation for the introduction of the gold standard, while the representatives of the nobility and commercial circles spoke against the reform.
