Recenzje

Bunte's path-breaking book will reshape the way that scholars think about the choices the governments have when seeking international finance. The book provides an analytical framework to think about why some governments turn to China and other BRICS lenders as opposed to private capital markets, institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, or traditional foreign aid donors like the United States. Bunte argues that domestic politics drive the choices that governments make when seeking international financial support. The book will thus be of interest for scholars of international political economy, and it has implications for security studies of emerging market powers. Because the book's argument relies heavily on domestic politics, it will also be important for scholars of comparative politics. In short, the book is a must-read for political scientists." -James Raymond Vreeland, Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University
