Rezensionen

'This book, by an up-and-coming 'generation' of scholars in politics, sociology, and international relations, demonstrates that conceptual innovation is possible and necessary for the advancement of knowledge. Ranging across a number of areas and themes, the authors bring new insights to a wide range of topics. This is one of those books I wish I had thought to write or edit but since I didn't, I will be certain to recommend it to colleagues around the world.'
