Recenzje

'This is an outstanding book, well thought out, synthetic, clear, and documented, with a very enlightening personal vision of the two parallel processes of IO proliferation and emanation, which are rarely addressed in comparable works. Susan Park will help students to better understand a world more or less victim of scholars' benign neglect.' Yves Schemeil, Institut Universitaire de France, politique globale et comparée, Professeur émérite, Sciences Po Grenoble
