New Book Outlines Security Threats

 
Assistant Professor of international relations and comparative politics Michaelene Cox recently published State of Corruption, State of Chaos: The Terror of Political Malfeasance. The volume, published last month by Lexington Books, outlines some compelling security threats facing the U.S. in the twenty-first century and dissects the complex connections between corruption and conflict. Cox also addresses the constant political dysfunction occurring in the country. In addition to using her own original research in the book, Cox invites experts from universities and organizations around the world to contribute their knowledge regarding many of its prominent topics. She also examines our responsibility and unwillingness to stop the spread of political corruption and points out a variety of issues dealing with domestic and international relations.

Cox will have another book published next month by Routledge entitledm Social Capital and Peace-Building: Creating and Resolving Conflict with Trust and Social Networks. The book includes different policy implications and recommendations in many of the discussions in the chapters, as well as examines the role of social capital in inciting violence as well as peace building.

Cox also serves as the Director of ISU's interdisciplinary minor program called Peace & Conflict Resolution Studies.
