History

Columbia University Press

The conditions that shaped the rise and expansion of American social science are rapidly changing, and with them, the terms of its relationship with power and policy. As globalization has diminished the role of the state as the locus of public policy in favor of NGOs, multinational corporations and other private entities, it has raised important questions about the future of the social sciences and their universalist pretensions.As dean of Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, Lisa Anderson has a unique vantage point on the intersection of social sciences, particularly political science, and public-policy formation and implementation. How do, or should, the research and findings of the academy affect foreign or domestic policy today? Why are politicians often quick to dismiss professors as irrelevant, their undertakings purely "academic", while scholars often shrink from engagement as agents of social or political change? There is a tension at work here, and it reveals a deeper compromise that arose as the modern social sciences were born in the nursery of late nineteenth century American liberalism: social scientists would dedicate themselves to the pursuit of objective, empirically verifiable truth, while relinquishing the exercise of power to governments and their agents. Anderson argues that this compromise helped underwrite the expansion of American influence in the twentieth century, and that it needs serious reexamination at the dawn of the twenty-first.

"At once steeped in detailed contextual knowledge and fully engaged with basic theoretical issues, Lisa Anderson's fine book can serve as an inspiration and a model for all who would push the analysis of state building in relation to social structure well beyond the European settings in which such processes have traditionally been studied. Doing comparative history at its best, Anderson uses a close comparison of Tunisia and Libya to arrive at analytic arguments sure to suggest fruitful leads to students of state formation in many areas of the world." -Theda Skocpol, Harvard University Moving beyond existing Eurocentric theories of state building, this work examines the role of state formation and disintegration in shaping social structure and political organization in Tunisia and Libya between 1830 and 1980. "... an important book. Extensive research has gone into it. Scholars will treasure it. Nonspecialists who tackle it in the hope of learning more about Libya and Tunisia will not be disappointed." -Harry Gregory, The Philadelphia Inquirer "The most recent book on Libya with a broad historic sense and a deep understanding of the subject." -I. William Zartman, The Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies, in selecting the four top books on Libya for U.S. News &amp; World Report "The accidents of history and geology ... have allowed one contemporary ruler [Qaddafi] to indulge at once the fundamentalist fantasy of direct theocracy and the populist fantasy of direct democracy. The spectacle is not an appealing one. But we must take note of its emergence, and be grateful for the light that Lisa Anderson has cast upon it." -Ernest Gellner, The New Republic Lisa Anderson is Associate Professor of Political Science and Assistant Director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University.

Princeton University Press

The book traces growing state intervention in the rural areas of Tunisia and Libya in the middle 1800s and the diverging development of the two countries during the period of European rule. State formation accelerated in Tunisia under the French with the result that, with independence, interest-based policy brokerage became the principal form of political organization. For Libya, where the Italians dismantled the pre-colonial administration, independence brought with it the revival of kinship as the basis for politics.Originally published in 1986.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
