Reviews

"Small Nations, High Ambitions takes a comparative view of the under-studied phenomenon of economic nationalism. The increased visibility of this subject in the contemporary era makes this work especially timely and impressive."--André Lecours, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa
"Small Nations, High Ambitions makes a distinctive contribution to the literature, offering a novel perspective on regional economic development and venture capital in regions which lack private sector investment."--Colin Mason, Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow
"This is a truly innovative work, linking nationalism to political economy. In a meticulous and detailed study of Scotland and Quebec, it shows how nations without sovereign statehood can sustain maintain distinct strategies for sustaining entrepreneurship and capital investment. It will be of interest equally to scholars of nationalism and of regional economic development."--Michael Keating, The School of Social Science, University of Aberdeen, Director of the Centre on Constitutional Change
"What do nationalism and venture capital have to do with one another? Drawing on detailed research in Quebec and Scotland, Rioux provides a fascinating analysis of a very important, yet understudied, subject in the politics of today's world economy: the growing importance of financial nationalism."--Eric Helleiner, Department of Political Science, University of Waterloo
