Recenzje

'Lechner's and Frost's account of 'practice' offers a challenge to predominant exponents of the 'practice turn' in international relations. This book will be required reading for all those who see the idea of practice as foundational for the understanding of international politics.' Kimberly Hutchings, Queen Mary University of London
