Recenzje

A wholly original and illuminating perspective on the delineation and maintenance of nation-state boundaries. Starting from beguilingly simple premises of the need for governance and the logic of the cartel, Acharya and Lee clarify the logic behind much of the history of international relations. The insights it affords are likely to be the port of departure for much subsequent work.
