Marshall Examines the complex relationship between American public opinion and the U.S. Supreme Court. RELIGION AND DEMOCRACy IN TAIWAN Cheng-tian Kuo A meticulous study of various Taiwanese religions and their relationships with democratic values and behaviors. Religion and Democracy in Taiwan In Religion and Democracy in Taiwan, Cheng-tian Kuo meticulously explores various Taiwanese religions in order to observe their relationships with democracy. Kuo analyzes these relationships by examining the democratic theology and ecclesiology of these religions, as well as their interaction with Taiwan. Unlike most of the current literature, which is characterized by a lack of comparative studies, the book compares nearly all of the major religions and religious groups in Taiwan. CHENG-TIAN KUO “…Marshall concludes that the Rehnquist Court, like its recent predecessors, was a majoritarian institution. Marshall examines an exhaustive list of variables to account for this alignment.” — CHOICE JANuARy • 269 pp • 32 figures $27.95 pb 978-0-7914-7348-1 e JANuARy • 161 pp • 10 tables, 1 figure $14.95 pb 978-0-7914-7446-4 Malici 3 black, pms 5195 e pantone metallic silver 877 and black6 When LeAders LeArn and When They Don’t WHEN LEADERS LEARN AND WHEN THEy DON’T Mikhail Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung at the End of the Cold War Akan Malici Business improvement Districts and the Shape of American Cities BuSINESS IMpROVEMENT DISTRICTS AND THE SHApE OF AMERICAN CITIES Jerry Mitchell Examines the impact of business improvement districts on the quality of contemporary civic life.

Both leaders redefined the theory and practice of international relations and left a heritage that we face today—a unipolar world in which security threats no longer emanate from the rivalry of two superpowers but rather from the existence of rogue states such as North Korea. Jerry Mitchell provides a comprehensive analysis of business improvement districts (BIDs)—public-private partnerships that shape city places into enticing destinations for people to work, live, and have fun. Responsible for the revitalization of New York’s Times Square and Seattle’s Pioneer Square, BIDs operate in large cities and small towns throughout the United States. Mitchell examines the reasons for their emergence, the ways they are organized and financed, the types of services they provide, their performance, their advantages and disadvantages, and their future prospects. http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61570 http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61619 http://www.sunypress.edu http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61548 http://www.sunypress.edu/details.asp?id=61551
