Review Quotes:
"This is a fascinating body of work...I was most impressed by his balance of "hard" political-science analysis and the softer socio-cultural interpretations and by the balance of theory and applied work (scholarship speaking to real world contemporary problems)." - Edward Fischer, Vanderbilt University
