"This marvelous little volume is deceptive. It is a primer for research that students will find enormously helpful. But it is much more than that. Concise, knowledgeable, and erudite, this book packs a big intellectual punch. It helps all of us in assessing some of the most interesting and novel approaches in current international relations scholarship." - Peter J. Katzenstein, Cornell University"
