It builds upon other work in this field but, at the same time, provides a more detailed overview and is very much up-to-date with contemporary events.' - Jacqui Briggs, Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Lincoln, UK 'I was struck by the accessibility of the writing.

[T]he [text] is crisp and succinct in its writing.' - Nick Randall, School of Geography, Politics and Sociology, University of Newcastle, UK 'The breadth, width and depth of the book are highly impressive.The book encourages students to explore topics in broad terms.

For these reasons, I would certainly recommend this book for my students.' - John McLean, Lecturer in Politics, University of Greenwich, UK, Reviews of the first edition: 'This book is most excellent.
