Mikhail A. Molchanov is a professor in the department of political science at St. Thomas University, and his research interests span comparative politics, international relations, and international political economy.

The European Union, Antisemitism, and the Politics of Denial
Amy Elman
University of Nebraska Press
From the Author: This examination of the European Union’s strategy for countering antisemitism discloses escalating prejudice within the EU in the aftermath of 9/11. The author contends that Europe’s political actors have responded to the challenge and provocation of antisemitism with only sporadic rhetoric and inconsistent commitment, a half-hearted strategy for countering antisemitism that exacerbates skepticism toward EU institutions and their commitments to equality and justice. This exposition of the insipid character of the EU’s response simultaneously suggests alternatives that might mitigate the subtle and potentially devastating creep of antisemitism in Europe.
Amy Elman is professor of political science at Kalamazoo College, and she studies comparative politics and western political thought, especially structures of inequality and organized struggles for social justice within industrialized states and international contexts.

Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter
Stacey Hunter Hecht and David Schultz, eds.
Lexington Books
From the Publisher: The 2016 presidential race is arguably already over in 40 states and the District of Columbia. If recent presidential election trends are any indication of what will happen in 2016, Democrats in Texas and Republicans in New York might as well stay home on election day. The same might be said for the voters in 38 other states too. Conversely, for those in Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Iowa, and a handful of other states will be barraged with presidential candidate visits, commercials, political spending, and countless news stories. Understanding why the presidential race has been effectively reduced to only ten states is the subject of Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter, a first of its kind examination of why some states are swingers in presidential elections, capable of being won by either of the major candidates.
David Schultz professor, department of political science, Hamline University, studies American politics.
Stacey Hunter Hecht, chair and associate professor of political science, Bethel University studies social policy, citizenship and immigration policy, and religion and politics.
