Customer Reviews

From a student of one of the Editors of the book
I have studied under Peter Burnell and can safely say that he is one of the finest professors in democratization and development studies. His book deserves no less praise, in particular for its organisation and the level of expertise of its writers. Overall a valuable book for undergraduates and new postgraduates in this field, but certainly lacking a high degree of detail in its contents which a student dedicated to this field might find significant.

Spiffing
A good text with a wide and clear base of information, that is worthy of higher education use.
