Reviews

"Elaborating on political engagements with Foucault, Global Governmentality is an important contribution to, and intervention in, international studies. ...This book is essential to political theorists and researchers interested in questions of global governance and will be of wider interest to interdisciplinary scholars working with governmentality. Problematizing easy disciplinary divisions, this volume offers political, sociological, geopolitical, economic, and criminological approaches to themes important to International Relations theory and affairs."Melissa Autumn White, Millennium, Volume 35.2, pp 481-483
