Trade Review
'A subtle, insightful and provocative tour d'horizon, at once broad-brushed and pointillistic, which is sure to generate debate. I am not always persuaded, but I am impressed, and have learned much from her elegant portraits of the (many) rational choice approach(es).' - Kenneth A. Shepsle, Harvard University, USA 'Far enough removed to have critical distance, but close enough to understand the literature and what it seeks to achieve, this is a critique in the best sense of the word. Balanced, non-polemical, and examining the limits as well as the limitations of rational choice theory, it deftly and elegantly fills an important niche.' - Anthony J. McGann, University of California, Irvine, USA
