Reviews

This book defies definitive classification. Many of the survey papers are what you would expect in a handbook: broad and sufficiently detailed overviews with substantial bibliographies for readers who want to go further. A few of the survey papers and case studies are more conceptual and theoretical, while some of the case or micro studies are rich and thought-provoking investigations. Everything is contemporary and the data and references are up to date as promised in the title. As such, the book offers a valuable entry point for students, journalists, and researchers in this field. Alan Hirsch, New South Institute, University of Cape Town and SOAS, University of London, London, UK, writing in the South African Journal of International Affairs.
