A rare combination of theoretical acumen and empirical perspective. Not everyone can spend years theorizing licit and illicit governance at various territorial levels, tracing the history of their emergence in a country like Brazil, and travel to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to investigate further. But everyone can read this book. - Joerg Friedrichs, Associate Professor of Politics, University of Oxford, UK.

A rare combination of theoretical acumen and empirical perspective. Not everyone can spend years theorizing licit and illicit governance at various territorial levels, tracing the history of their emergence in a country like Brazil, and travel to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to investigate further. But everyone can read this book. - Joerg Friedrichs, Associate Professor of Politics, University of Oxford, UK. States established themselves as sovereign in competition with other polities, and the fight is still on. By writing this 'state building meets Brazilian favela politics' book, Lilyblad has done both parties a great service. - Iver B. Neumann, author of Governing the Global Polity.
