The political economy of the American frontier
\"This book offers an analytical explanation for the origins of and change in property institutions on the American frontier during the nineteenth century. Its scope is interdisciplinary, integrating insights from political science, economics, law, and history. This book shows how claim clubs - informal governments established by squatters in each of the major frontier sectors of agriculture, mining, logging, and ranching - substituted for the state as a source of private property institutions and how they changed the course of who received a legal title, and for what price, throughout the nineteenth century. Unlike existing analytical studies of the frontier that emphasize one or two sectors, this book considers all major sectors, as well as the relationship between informal and formal property institutions, while also proposing a novel theory of emergence and change in property institutions that provides a framework to interpret the complicated history of land laws in the United States\"-- Provided by publisher.

Arms and the University
Alienation between the U.S. military and society has grown in recent decades. Such alienation is unhealthy, as it threatens both sufficient civilian control of the military and the long-standing ideal of the 'citizen soldier'. Nowhere is this issue more predominant than at many major universities, which began turning their backs on the military during the chaotic years of the Vietnam War. Arms and the University probes various dimensions of this alienation, as well as recent efforts to restore a closer relationship between the military and the university. Through theoretical and empirical analysis, Donald Alexander Downs and Ilia Murtazashvili show how a military presence on campus in the form of ROTC (including a case study of ROTC's return to Columbia and Harvard universities), military history and national security studies can enhance the civic and liberal education of non-military students, and in the process help to bridge the civil-military gap.

When Fracking Comes to Town
When Fracking Comes to Town
traces the response of local communities to the shale gas
revolution. Rather than cast communities as powerless to
respond to oil and gas companies and their landmen, it shows that
communities have adapted their local rules and regulations to meet
the novel challenges accompanying unconventional gas extraction
through fracking. The multidisciplinary perspectives of this
volume's essays tie together insights from planners, legal
scholars, political scientists, and economists. What emerges is a
more nuanced perspective of shale gas development and its impacts
on municipalities and residents.
Unlike many political debates that cast fracking in
black-and-white terms, this book's contributors embrace the
complexity of local responses to fracking. States adapted legal
institutions to meet the new challenges posed by this energy
extraction process while under-resourced municipal officials and
local planning offices found creative ways to alleviate pressure on
local infrastructure and reduce harmful effects of fracking on the
environment. The essays in When Fracking Comes to Town
tell a story of community resilience with the rise and decline of
shale gas production.
