Recenzje

'… the book has an essential thematic and organisational unity. What provide this unity are not just strong editorial guidance but also a consistent analytical orientation and – above all – a common database … a work of careful social science scholarship … this is a significant, foundational work that will provide the benchmark for the study of Australian state and commonwealth politics for many years to come.'
