Courting Disaster: An Expanded NATO vs. Russia and China
Bruce Russett and Allan C. Stam examine the recent decision to expand NATO to include former Soviet satellites. They argue that the further inclusion of Russia would allow NATO to become a most effective tool in managing security threats in the next century.

pp. 361-382

Creating a Disaster: NATO's Open Door Policy
Robert J. Art argues that an open door membership policy will destroy NATO and that there is a better alternative to create a security structure for Europe.

pp. 383-403
 

Jimmy Carter's Public Policy Ex-Presidency
John Whiteclay Chambers II analyzes Jimmy Carter's post-presidential career. He concludes that Carter's most important post-White House legacy may be his creation of a Public Policy Ex-Presidency.

pp. 405-425
 

Racism, Drug Policy, and AIDS
Cathy Lisa Schneider analyzes the reasons for the increasing concentration of HIV/AIDS among African Americans and Latinos. She challenges the assumptions and evidence of those who cite underclass use of illegal drugs and promiscuity, and argues that high HIV/AIDS rates among blacks and Latinos are a consequence of the racial bias in the war against drugs.

pp. 427-446
 

Corruption in a Paternalistic Democracy: Lessons from Italy for Latin America
Silvia Colazingari and Susan Rose-Ackerman show how in post World War II Italy corruption and democracy coexisted. They apply their insights to Latin American democracies with similar characteristics.

pp. 447-470
 

Bob Dole's Age and Health in the 1996 Election: Did the Media Let Us Down?
Herbert L. Abrams and Richard Brody examine the issue of Robert Dole's age and health in the 1996 election and its impact on the vote of the electorate. They conclude that among the voters for whom age was an important consideration, most believed that age was a potential obstacle to Dole having a successful presidency. They fault the media for not seriously discussing the possibility that Dole might not last out his term because of illness, disability or death.

pp. 471-491

From Our Archives: A New Look at the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson
Michael Les Benedict's interpretation of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson destroys the conventional textbook wisdom which portrays Johnson as a martyred president unjustifiably pilloried by a vindictive Congress. Benedict shows that the decision to impeach was made reluctantly after a series of presidential actions over the years convinced even the most conservative members of Congress that impeachment was the only means left for defending their constitutional prerogatives.
