Recenzijas
'Blunting Neoliberalism provides a well-informed, comparative analysis of tripartism in developing countries. It is a very original piece of research that develops an innovative and important theory and argument that will be of interest to the broadest scholarship of political economy. In particular, it combines comparative and international political economy and applies them to a new set of empirical issues. The result is an important contribution to both fields of the discipline.' - Marco Simoni, London School of Economics& Political Science, UK
