Reviews

'This book is a significant contribution to political economy and will be useful for students of comparative politics.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

'This book is a significant contribution to political economy and will be useful for students of comparative politics.' The Times Higher Education Supplement This book represents an intellectual tour de force in the field of comparative political economy, and brings together several distinguished scholars to analyze and update the transformation of advanced capitalist democracies in the 1990s. I strongly recommend it for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses on the political economy of advanced capitalist democracies. Shah Tarzi, ECSA Review
