Irresponsible Stakeholders? | Foreign Affairs
Irresponsible Stakeholders? | Foreign Affairs:
The dramatic growth of Brazil, China, and India -- and the emergence of middle-tier economies such as Indonesia and Turkey -- is transforming the geopolitical landscape and testing the institutional foundations of the post-World War II liberal order.

The End of the All-Weather Friendship
China will not simply bail out Pakistan with loans, investment, and aid, as those watching the deterioration of U.S.-Pakistani relations seem to expect. Rather, China will pursue profits, security, and geopolitical advantage regardless of Islamabad's preferences.
Beijing aims to use Islamabad to box out New Delhi in Afghanistan and the broader region.
The United States’ Long History of Protest
Why Occupy Wall Street is Not the Tea Party of the Left | Foreign Affairs:
Unlike other movements, the rallies across the United States have no distinct constituency, put forward few policy proposals, and have a shifting configuration of supporters. They are something new. These are "we are here" protests.

SNAPSHOT
Occupy Wall Street's anger is mostly directed at the ruling economic class. But the movement is gaining traction because it is exposing a larger failure of democratic representation.
REVIEW ESSAY
Increasing inequality in the United States has long been attributed to unstoppable market forces. In fact, as Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson show, it is the direct result of congressional policies that have consciously -- and sometimes inadvertently -- skewed the playing field toward the rich.
SNAPSHOT
The power of protest comes from its capacity to disrupt business as usual. As long as protesters believe they are making progress through other means, they will not resort to violence.
SNAPSHOT
Rather than dousing large corporations with vinegar -- as the Occupy Wall Street protesters urge -- Washington should smother them with honey. Doing so would loosen their purse strings to fund new investment, bolster the economy, and create jobs.
The Real Sources of U.S. Inequality and Unemployment
Manufacturing Globalization | Foreign Affairs:
Is globalization to blame for rising unemployment and income inequality in the United States? Richard Katz and Robert Lawrence argue that other factors are at fault. Perhaps, says Michael Spence -- but the overarching effects of globalization cannot be denied

Trade, Investment and Deindustrialization: Myth and Reality | Foreign Affairs
Trade, Investment and Deindustrialization: Myth and Reality | Foreign Affairs:
The American labor movement has basically concentrated on domestic issues--with the notable exception of its vigorous efforts to further the cause of human rights, free trade unionism and political democracy throughout the world. This focus on the United States has been the result of both the sheer size of the American economy and work force and the specific circumstances which gave rise to the rapid growth of the labor movement in the 1930

WHY WE WILL REMAIN NUMBER ONE
Debate: A Second American Century | Foreign Affairs:
America's economy is in its eighth year of sustained growth, transcending the German and Japanese "miracles." This is no fluke. America's unique brand of entrepreneurial capitalism is based on a series of advantages that explain the stunning success of the 1990s and provide the basis for extending this winning streak. These strengths include deft managers, technological innovation, and a culture that values rugged individualism -- all fueled by finance capital that can nimbly meet the needs of a globalized, rapidly changing economy. Furthermore, the era of the deficit is over. Pessimists who warn of inflation should be ignored; American business leaders understand that today's low level of inflation is self-perpetuating. America's prosperity is structural, not transient, and its lead over Europe and Asia will only widen with time. America had the twentieth century. It will also have the twenty-first

Inequality and American Decline
The Broken Contract | Foreign Affairs:
Like an odorless gas, economic inequality pervades every corner of the United States and saps the strength of its democracy. Over the past three decades, Washington has consistently favored the rich -- and the more wealth accumulates in a few hands at the top, the more influence and favor the rich acquire, making it easier for them and their political allies to cast off restraint without paying a social price.

Jobs growth was slow in May, renewing pessimism about the U.S. economy. Spence, a Nobel Prize-winning economist writes that economic growth and employment in the United States have started to diverge, increasing income inequality and reducing jobs for less-educated workers.

He has taken on the might of the Congress single-handedly. And is in no mood to back off. Ashok Malik chronicles the rise, fall and resurrection of this one-man army
He was shunned by mainstream parties for ages and was seen as too clever and wily for his own good
Swamy faced criticism of playing factional politics when he forced Hegde out of office
The Bofors kickbacks went to Sonia’s kin and not Rajiv Gandhi, claims Swamy
By going after Chidambaram in the 2G scam case, he has repackaged himself as an antigraft crusader
Sangh parivar Vajpayee kept Swamy out of the BJP because he saw him as a threat but Advani and Gadkari have embraced him
‘My next target is Robert Vadra. I have documents on him. But I will act at a time of my choosing,’ he says |

Citation API Documentation
Import RIS citations
This documentation is helpful if you are a third-party service that currently exports bibliographical data in RIS format. EasyBib offers a way for services to post their RIS data to EasyBib, so their users can easily import citations and incorporate them into their EasyBib bibliography. The steps to add this integration are trivial. Instructions

Overview
The EasyBib Citations API is a way for third parties to create accurate, fully-formatted bibliographical citations. It is a REST-based API that works by receiving raw source data and responding with a formatted citation. A full list of sources and options is available in Appendix A.
Some use cases for this API include:
- Electronic databases utilizing the API to create exportable citations for their content
- Online newspapers and scientific journals using the API to create citations for their articles
- Blogs adding citations for their posts to encourage readers to cite them in their own works
- Research applications using the Citations API to generate citations for later retrieval
As with any API, there are some rules of the road. We're a pretty flexible with how you use the API, but set the following terms:
- To utilize the API, you need an authentication key that we tie to an IP. Abuse of our service will result in a revocation of your key.
- Commercial usage of the API may be subject to fees. Please contact us for more details.
