"
An excellent and refreshingly new look at state capacity that should be a must read for scholars
of political sociology, development sociology, comparative politics, public policy, and good governance in less developed countries.
"
---Peter Ward, American Journal of Sociology"A rich interdisciplinary study of bureaucratic effectiveness in developing states. This interdisciplinarity distinguishes [
Patchwork Leviathan] from earlier studies of effective pockets and makes it a fascinating read for a wide range of scholars and organizational leaders.—Martha C. Johnson,
Political Science Quarterly"
"
Patchwork Leviathan belongs on the bookshelf of every sociologically inclined student of non-Western states. . . . From empirical depth to theoretical breadth, [it] showcases best practices in comparative sociology, moving the disciplinary discussion of state capacity multiple steps ahead.—Marina Zaloznaya,
