James D. Savage's Books

Funding Science in America, first published in 1999, explores the pros and cons of the academic earmarking issue.

This analysis of budgetary systems and policies across the world examines how politics, culture, and economics influence public finance.

Much of what is written in this book is true and will probably shock and hurt those who loved James D. Savage but the names have been changed to protect both the innocent and the guilty. The ending of the book has been changed from what really happened and that is all I will say about that. As is often the case, the truth is stranger than fiction and it is unlikely people would accept what really happened and how his life really ended. This book tells the good and the bad and does not paint anyone out to be what they are not. It is first and foremost a story of vengeance on those who set out to ruin a good man's life.

Consistent with the literature on state building, failed states, peacekeeping and foreign assistance, this book argues that budgeting is a core state activity necessary for the operation of a functional government. Employing a historical institutionalist approach, this book first explores the Ottoman, British and Ba'athist origins of Iraq's budgetary institutions. The book next examines American pre-war planning, the Coalition Provisional Authority's rule-making and budgeting following the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the mixed success of the Coalition's capacity-building programs initiated throughout the occupation. This book sheds light on the problem of 'outsiders' building states, contributes to a more comprehensive evaluation of the Coalition in Iraq, addresses the question of why Iraqis took ownership of some Coalition-generated institutions, and helps explain the nature of institutional change.

Most writers associated with the first generation of British Romanticism - Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Southey, Thelwall, and others - wrote against the slave trade. This edition collects a corpus of work which reflects the issues and theories concerning slavery and the status of the slave.
