Recenzje

'Methodologically, this book rigorously employs a quantitative approach, and thus tests hypotheses with the use of statistics and large-n real world data analysis … This book is a theoretically grounded, interdisciplinary-oriented and methodologically  rigorous investigation of arguably the most important problem in the social sciences today. The complex and often misunderstood relationship between globalisation and democracy … Utlimately, Democracy and Economic Openness is essential reading for social scientists and policy makers interested in addressing the world's most important issues, such as globalistation, democracy, interstate conflict and environmental degradation.' Salvador Santino F. Regilme Jr, Political Studies Review
