Reviews

...the book is accessible and authoritative, providing not only valuable insights into a range of funding regimes but also fascinating discussions of the theoretical underpinnings of regulation within political systems based on the freedoms of speech and expression and judicial interpretations of the constitutionality or, otherwise, of various modes of regulation. It should provide a basic resource not only for public lawyers interested in such issues but also a wide range of others from a variety of disciplines concerned with the role of money in politics and elections...if you are interested in the issues, read this excellent book. Ron Johnston Parliamentary Affairs September, 2007 !the broad commonalities of the essays-- clear descriptions of lamentable political practices, thoughtful accounts of well-intentioned attempts to remedy them, and acknowledgments of the limits of such reform attempts--will impress even the most disinterested scholar... a superior survey of contemporary struggles with issues of campaign finance in several countries. Mark Rush Law and Politics Book Review, Vol 16/9 September 2006 !a valuable book as it presents the major arguments of the debate. Matt Qvortrup Political Studies Review, Vol 5, No 2 April 2007 ...draws together an international team of fine scholars, especially from member countries of the Commonwealth, such as New Zealand, Canada, and Australia...For academic lawyers and political scientists in the United States, [this] edition will be particularly useful because of its mainly non-American approach.
