Reviews

This collection of essays exhibits the skills that have brought Keohane to the top of his field in the study of international relations: engagement with theory, a concern for methodology, an extension of the boundaries of the field, an effort to integrate it with political science, and a concern to draw in other disciplines such as law. This volume will be valuable to teaching and research in this field. <br>-Peter Gourevitch, University of California at San Diego <br>
