'
John Ferejohn, Carolyn S. G. Munro Professor of Political Science, Stanford University.
`The Oxford Handbook of Law and Politics provides an invaluable guide to the inter-relationship between these two disciplines. It brings together in a well-organized and systematic manner the rich literature on the various aspects of this subject. All lawyers interested in the relationship between law and politics will want to have a copy of this book in their collection.
'

`Spanning all of the major substantive areas and approaches in modern political science, this blockbuster set is a must-have for scholars and students alike. Each volume is crafted by a distinguished set of editors who have assembled critical, comprehensive, essays to survey accumulated knowledge and emerging issues in the study of politics.
