'The success of the book arises from its focus on actual examples from comparative studies of nation-states. The range of empirical studies covered is, in fact, quite remarkable and includes a good many of the leading works in the field ... I would highly recommend the book for advanced undergraduate students.' - James Mahoney, Acta Politica (reviewing the first edition)
