This episode we celebrate our renowned and pathbreaking series - Cornell Studies in Political Economy - which after nearly four decades will be coming to a close upon the publication of the forthcoming book Mediterranean Capitalism Revisited edited by Luigi Burroni, Emmanuele Pavoni, and Marino Regini. Our guests today are the instrumental players behind the series - series editor Peter Katzenstein and acquisitions editor Roger Haydon.
Professor Katzenstein is the Walter S. Carpenter, Jr Professor of International Studies at Cornell University. His research and teaching lie at the intersection of the fields of international relations and comparative politics. Katzenstein's work addresses issues of political economy, and security and culture in world politics. His current research interests focus on power, the politics of regions and civilizations, America's role in the world, and German politics.
Roger Haydon recently retired as Executive Editor of Cornell University Press where he sponsored books in comparative politics and international relations, Asian and Slavic studies, security affairs, political economy, and humanitarian and human rights studies. He always looked for the unconventional and the unexpected, and sought out authors who were consumed by new ways of thinking.
Peter and Roger give us the behind-the-scenes history of the Cornell Studies in Political Economy series, their insights into how scholarship in the field has evolved, and their seasoned advice for emerging scholars today.

Patricia D. Norland most recently worked as a public diplomacy officer within the US Department of State. She is the translator of Beyond the Horizon and the author of Vietnam in the Children of the World series.
We spoke to Patricia about how her chance encounter with a social worker in Ho Chi Minh City set the stage for writing her new book, why we desperately need to diversify the voices chronicling the history of 20th century Vietnam, and why personal oral histories are irreplaceable in truly understanding the region’s rich history.

This episode we speak with Jasmine-Kim Westendorf, author of the new book Violating Peace: Sex, Aid, and Peacekeeping - https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501748059/violating-peace/

We spoke to Jasmine-Kim about the consolidated data that she has collected in her book showing that sexual exploitation and abuse has happened in every peace operation and every peacebuilding process that the international community has been involved in, and that it continues to happen to this day. This ongoing sexual misconduct has significant and long-term impacts on the capacity and credibility of the international community involved in peacekeeping, and Jasmine-Kim’s new book offers concrete policy suggestions that more effectively address this phenomenon in future peace operations.

Richard W. Maass is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Evansville. Follow him on Twitter @richardmaass.
We spoke to Richard about why the United States stopped annexing territory, and why U.S leaders often declined even profitable opportunities for annexation due to xenophobia and overtly racist rationales fearing that new territory would bring into the United States large populations they saw as alien in terms of race, ethnicity, language, or religion.
