Book Description
The traditional understandings that structure the relationships between public servants and the wider political system are said to have undergone considerable change. But what are these formalized and implicit understandings? What are the key dimensions of such bargains? In what conditions do bargains rise and fall? And has there been a universal and uniform change in these bargains?The Politics of Public Service Bargains develops a distinct perspective to answer these questions. It develops a unique analytical perspective to account for diverse bargains within systems of executive government. Drawing on comparative experiences from different state traditions, this study examines ideas and contemporary developments along three key dimensions of any Public Service Bargain - reward, competency and loyalty and responsibility.The Politics of Public Service Bargains points to diverse and differentiated developments across national systems of executive government and suggests how different 'bargains' are prone to cheating by their constituent parties. This study explores the context in which managerial bargains - widely seen to be at the heart of contemporary administrative reform movements - are likely to catch on and considers how cheating is likely to destabilize such bargains.

Book Description
The New York Times bestselling author of Neon Gods delivers a "deliciously gritty, darkly romantic, drop-dead sexy and thoroughly engrossing" mafia romance. (USA Today, Happy Ever After) Married to the enemy. When Keira O'Malley was a child, she used to picture her perfect wedding. The flowers. The dress. Her husband. But nothing could have prepared her for saying "I do" to Dmitri Romanov-cold, domineering, and always one step ahead of everyone else in the ever-shifting power plays of New York City. She agreed to his bargain to secure peace for her family, and she may want the bastard more than she'd ever admit, but she'll be damned if she'll make this marriage easy for him. Dmitri knows better than to underestimate Keira for one second. Molten desire smolders between them, a dangerous addiction neither can resist. But his enemies are already on the move, and he needs every ounce of his legendary focus and control to keep them alive. Keira could just be his secret weapon-if she doesn't bring him to his knees first. "A tension-filled plot full of deceit, betrayal, and sizzling love scenes will make it impossible for readers to set the book down." --Publishers Weekly on Forbidden Promises

Conned into parading herself in front of his business associates for the weekend, Adra begins to see a different side to Nik.

But she won’t give him the time of day… Nikolai Waldek has been in love with Adra since the first day he met her.

Once away from the court, can he finally make her see he’s the perfect dragon for her?

Book Description
Recent events show a deep-seated fear and frustration from the Rust Belt and those who used to populate our factories. Who are these people and how did we get here? How did both unions and management fail the factory worker? How are our once-vibrant city neighborhoods impacted by this seismic shift? A Collective Bargain examines the rich character of factory life and explores how the negotiating process is impacted by many factors beyond the control of even those who sit at the bargaining table. The novel takes place primarily in the grittiest sections of industrial New Jersey. Trey Bensen is a neighborhood kid returned to the local factory where he serves as a deft labor administrator and contract negotiator on behalf of management. The plant- Grean Machining- is part of a larger group of machine shops. Grean is privately held and owned by brothers seeking to sell the business and cash out, leaving their grimy industrial past behind. One buyer makes a lucrative offer contingent upon a new and more favorable labor contract. To accomplish this, the Grean brothers send their corporate “fixer” and family friend Harlowe Mikkelsen to make the deal. Mikkelsen casts his lot with Larry “The Turk” Turkel- International Union agent with an agenda quite different from the local workers in the plant. In an effort to sort through his conflicted feelings as both a management negotiator and a part of the community, Trey seeks the advice of his dying father, Earl. Earl Bensen seemed to be everywhere and seen everything in the labor movement in the preceding five decades. These life stories ultimately inspire Trey to take actions in the seams between the union and management resulting in unexpected and violent consequences. Anyone who seeks to give real identity and a face to the American factory worker will enjoy the rich characters who work to make a living at Grean Machining.

Book Description
Bitterly contested memories of war, colonisation, and empire among Japan, China, and Korea have increasingly threatened regional order and security over the past three decades. In Sino-Japanese relations, identity, territory, and power pull together in a particularly lethal direction, generating dangerous tensions in both geopolitical and memory rivalries. Buzan and Goh explore a new approach to dealing with this history problem. First, they construct a more balanced and global view of China and Japan in modern world history. Second, building on this, they sketch out the possibilities for a 21st century great power bargain between them. Buzan puts Northeast Asia's history since 1840 into both a world historical and a systematic normative context, exposing the parochial nature of the China-Japan history debate in relation to what is a bigger shared story about their encounter with modernity and the West, within which their modern encounter with each other took place. Arguing that regional order will ultimately depend substantially on the relationship between these two East Asian great powers, Goh explores the conditions under which China and Japan have been able to reach strategic bargains in the course of their long historical relationship, and uses this to sketch out the main modes of agreement that might underpin a new contemporary great power bargain between them in a variety of future scenarios for the region. The frameworks adopted here consciously blend historical contextualisation, enduring concerns with wealth, power and interest, and the complex relationship between Northeast Asian states' evolving encounters with each other and with global international society.
