FROM THE EDITOR

AThe Times They Are Achanging@

With the onslaught of so much Internet activity and the real progress most of us have made in learning the new technology, the news-worthiness of print media like our own dear NEWSLETTER becomes ever more problematic. I have come to the conclusion after a few years of experience with putting the NEWSLETTER together that it is perhaps time to change a few things. Staple items like the APSA Program notes or book announcements or even the Minutes of our annual business meeting usually appear elsewhere, in our webpage or in other electronic venues, long before the printed form can arrive. Wouldn=t it be a better use of money, time, and resources to reserve the print format for other material like an occasional brief polemic or book review notice or notes on the profession which would have a a more enduring nature? This is exactly the dilemma the APSA faced, and one must marvel at the instinctive regard for self-preservation the association showed in responding by multiplying print formats rather than bothering to save a tree!

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENTS

Dear Friends,

My book on the role of the USA in the Second World War, first published (in Flemish) by EPO in Antwerp-Berchem in Belgium in 2000, is now also available in English. The title is The Myth of the Good War: America in the Second World War, and the publisher is James Lorimer in Toronto. In the United States my book is distributed by Casemate Publishers of Havertown, PA, and in the UK and Australia it is available from Merlin Press.

The Myth of the Good War is not a conventional "feel-good history" but focuses on the economic interests which determined Washington=s diplomacy and military strategy during the Second World War. The book offers a critical interpretation which is very relevant in view of the present "war against terrorism", presented to us by the authorities and the mainstream media as yet another "good" war.

German and Spanish editions have already been published by PAPYROSSA and HIRU in Cologne, Germany, and Hondarribia, Spain, respectively, in 2001 and 2002; an Italian translation is scheduled to be published in late June 2003 by DATANEWS in Rome. A French edition as well as a new and updated German edition are expected in the fall of 2003.

This book is available in all good bookstores in Canada, but it is also possible to order a copy directly from myself, autographed if you wish.

Sincerely,

Jacques R. Pauwels

Lawrence S. Wittner. TOWARD NUCLEAR ABOLITION: A HISTORY OF THE WORLD NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT MOVEMENT, 1971 TO THE PRESENT. Vol. 3 of THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE BOMB. 2003. 688 pp. $32.95/$75.00. Stanford University Press.

TOWARD NUCLEAR ABOLITION is the final volume in an award-winning scholarly trilogy that recounts the story of humanity's efforts to prevent nuclear annihilation. Beginning in the early 1970s, the book shows how a grassroots, worldwide nuclear disarmament movement challenged the hawkish priorities of government officials in East and West. This first comprehensive account of worldwide nuclear disarmament activism and government response is based upon extensive research in the records, located in thirteen countries, of 126 organizations, individuals, and government agencies. Furthermore, it is grounded in 116 interviews with leading antinuclear activists and government officials. Until quite recently, many of the documents used for this study were top secret, including records of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, of the Stasi (the once-dreaded East German secret police), and of the Reagan White House. Now, however, they contribute to a dramatic, inspiring story of how an outpouring of citizen activism helped curb the nuclear arms race and prevent nuclear war.

New Political Science

Journal of the Caucus for a Political Science

New Political Science is the journal of the Caucus for a New Political Science. The focus of New Political Science is on developing analyses which reflect a commitment to progressive social change as well as those which are within exploratory phases of development in political science. Thus, the Editors seek manuscripts that make contributions to critical thinking and progressive politics, and which fit the following criteria:

Three hard copies of manuscripts must be submitted to the Editor, along with a submission as an email attachment in Word or WordPerfect

1. Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced on one side of 8 2" by 11" paper.

2. Submitted works should not normally exceed forty pages.

3. Submitted works should be accompanied by an abstract of approximately 150 words.

4. Submitted works should be accompanied by a brief autobiographical sketch of the author(s) of around 25 words.

5. All footnotes should appear at the bottom of the page and be numbered consecutively. Full citations should be presented within footnotes using the following examples as guidelines:

BOOKS: David Helvarg, The War Against the Greens (San Francisco: Sierra Club Books, 1994), p. 287.

ARTICLES: Edward P. Morgan, "America's Post-Vietnam Stress Disorder," Peace Review 8:2 (1996), pp. 237-38.

Ibid. and Op. cit. may be used.

Manuscripts accepted for review are evaluated by a minimum of two scholars active in the field. Because we use anonymous peer reviews, the copies of the paper should have separate title pages. Manuscripts accepted for publication must be submitted on computer disk formatted in Word Perfect 5.1 or Word 6.0. Authors are expected to promptly (within 48 hours) return corrected proofs.

50 offprints of each published article, and a complete copy of the relevant journal issue, will be sent to the senior author.
