Recenzje

Restraining Power through Institutions offers a major new argument regarding international order-namely, that the causal logics that explain the development of important domestic institutional restraints on power also explain the development of international institutional restraints. Although the two levels are at different stages of development, their common logic of institutional consolidation is carefully traced through Grigorescu's historical analysis. This is a highly ambitious work with a bold argument and an encompassing scope. It will surely be an important contribution to ongoing debates about the development of international institutions.
