Recenzje

’...Micheletti demonstrates a remarkable ability to combine social movement theory, interest group theory, the historical-sociological approach to the study of politics and analysis of state policy...This pioneering book, while surely enhancing interest in Swedish politics, should be read and emulated by scholars of other political systems.’ Professor Andrew McFarland, University of Illinois, USA ’...excellent...could usefully be added to reading lists for courses at any level on interest groups or European politics...’ West European Politics
