Rezensionen

"Highly recommended for reading. The book offers the reader a comprehensive outlook on paradiplomacy. What makes the book even more fascinating is that the author does not limit his research endeavour to the "traditional" cases of paradiplomacy from the Global North but exposes the reader to a number of less known cases from the Global South -those case studies definitely enrich and boost the existing scholarship, and contribute to a stronger understanding of the theories of paradiplomacy." - Alexander Kuznetsov, Professor of Political Science, University of Alberta

"Comparative Paradiplomacy provides the most comprehensive survey available of the international relations of sub-national units in federated states. Jorge Schiavon is uniquely qualified to undertake this comparative study that covers ten federated states. The book offers compelling explanations for why the international activities of sub-national units have varied both over time and across countries. A must read for anyone interested in the complex behaviour of federated states in international relations." - John Ravenhill, Professor of Political Science and Director, Balsillie School of International Affairs

"Jorge Schiavon's book on comparative paradiplomacy is an important and timely addition to the literature dealing with the international activities of sub-state governments such as U.S. and Mexican states, Canadian provinces, German lander, and their counterparts in various parts of the world. The book enriches contemporary international relations theory, as well as academic studies dealing with domestic governance and federalism in an evolving and increasingly complex global setting." - Earl H.
