Recenzje

'If you want to make sense of the West's seemingly heartless and erratic response to the horrors of the Syrian civil war, look no further than this book. The author provides a theoretically sophisticated, empirically meticulous, clear and incisive analysis of this most distressing of contemporary conflicts, and the role of the Anglosphere Coalition in the perpetuation of insecurity in the Middle East. In fact, if you want to understand war and peace in the world today, start here. A brilliant piece of IR scholarship, and a major contribution to critical constructivism.' Richard Jackson, University of Otago
