Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers an accessible and broadly conceived examination of the impact of globalization on comparative politics. Written in a lucid and lively style, it assumes no prior knowledge of either globalization or comparative politics, and is the ideal textbook for students who want to know more about these crucial topics.
Trade Review"Jeff Haynes brings about an unusual double achievement in this book. He has constructed a well-ordered and organised account of the impact of globalization on established democracies, transitional democracies and non-democracies. In doing so, he also offers a useful way of interpreting these, with highly insighftul implications for the craft of comparative politics."
Adrian Leftwich, University of York
‘This is the most comprehensive integration of globalization with the field of comparative politics I have read. It deserves a wide audience.’
Donley T. Studlar, West Virginia University
"This is a very well researched book both theoretically and empirically, which is strengthened by selective use of case studies. It is tightly focused and the chapters are woven together effectively.
Combining provocative questions with nuanced analysis, Jefrey Haynes can not be accused of shying away from complex theories and issues. His scholarly endeavours deserve commendation."
