Rezensionen

"Haas' work yields a rich and comprehensive perspective on why democracies flounder and fail. Haas identifies factors of selfish policy-makers and companies, alongside the inability of the electorate to have a strong enough impact on their government or civil society. The book contributes to the existing body of research on democratization by illuminating the critical factors related to the current inadequacies and long-standing failures on the part of democracies, both in national and international level."
