Updates: Beginning in the fall of 2010, I will 
be joining the faculty at Villanova University. 
Go Wildcats!
 My first book, The Political Power of 
 Bad Ideas, is now available through
 Oxford University Press. Special thanks to
 Dan at D-Line Design for the cover. 
 (Buy it at Amazon.com; preview through 
 Google books.)
I have also launched vodkapolitics.com for coverage of President Dmitri Medvedev’s recent anti-alcohol initiative. Relatedly, the manuscript for my follow-up book, Vodka Politics: Autocracy and Alcohol in Russia is now under contract, also with Oxford University Press.http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova.htmlBad_Ideas.htmlBad_Ideas.htmlhttp://oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Politics/InternationalStudies/InternationalOrganizations/?view=usa&ci=9780195391237http://www.dlinedesign.comhttp://www.amazon.com/dp/0195391233/?tag=gpfm-20http://books.google.com/books?id=CfhyX80XT6sC&printsec=frontcover&dq=political+power+of+bad+ideas&cd=1#v=onepage&q&f=falsehttp://www.vodkapolitics.comVodka_Politics.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6shapeimage_2_link_7shapeimage_2_link_8
