Description:
"Well written and well organized, this book reflects sound scholarship. I applaud the initiative of the editors to assemble such an eclectic collection that will be highly useful for those wishing to cross disciplinary boundaries. Moreover, the essays tend to avoid the disciplinary jargon that often limits a readership to a narrow academic audience."--Bruce Cronin, University of Wisconsin, author of Community Under Anarchy
"Each of the chapters is soundly written and the volume as a whole brings together some outstanding, well recognized scholars to undertake an ambitious, wide-ranging enterprise."--Hendrik Spruyt, Arizona State University, author of The Sovereign State and Its Competitors
Review Quotes: "This impressive volume brings together political scientists and sociologists to assess what effects globalization has had on the state . . . backed up by an unusually comprehensive collection of historical and comparative research on economic and security issues in the advanced industrial and developing worlds."---Sheri Berman, Foreign Affairs
