Trade ReviewIn
Trust and Hedging in International Relations, Professor Stiles examines the concept of trust, an important but sometimes overlooked subject in international relations. All-in-all, this book is an excellent addition to the study of how smaller countries cope with the need to depend on stronger states and of the moral, legal, and policy implications of such associations."" - John M. Rothgeb Jr., Miami University
""I know of no other work dealing with trust in international relations that treats the topic with such thoroughness, stringency, and scholarly rigor as this book."" - Christer Jönsson, Lund University
