Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Concepts in the social sciences evolve and change, so any compendium of our field has to balance preservation and innovation. This collection does an excellent job of that, taking an informative snapshot of international studies broadly understood and delivering it to readers in pithy morsels. Highly recommended.' -- Patrick Thaddeus Jackson, American University, USA
