Reviews for Interests, Institutions and Information
"[This book] brings us back to the politics of domestic-level analyses to balance the emphasis on economics. It also provides important insights into questions concerning the foreign policy behavior of different regime-types... This is a powerful work that ... gives us a new lens through which we may examine issues central to the field."
