'A useful and interesting contribution to the body of literature that examines the political and administrative reform of states. The editors have assembled an intriguing range of perspectives on the processes of democratization, flexibilization and restructuring - notably as they are experienced in transitional and emerging states.' Dr Richard Welch, University of Otago, New Zealand  'This book, written by an international group of well-known scholars and resulting from vivid discussions, offers valuable theroretical insights and includes the results of the newest studies of the relationship between democracy at the national, regional and local levels, local governance and administrative reforms in old democracies, transitional and developing countries. Both practitioners from state agencies and municipalities, and university professors and students will certainly find in this publication chapters of great interest.' Vladimir Kolossov, Chair, IGU Commission on Political Geography  'In an age of unfettered globalization and neoliberalism, this book draws timely attention to the spatial impacts of economic and political restructuring in regions and localities.  Thematically structured around concepts of democratization, flexibilization and restructuring, this book focuses on the resurgence of interest in democratic practices at local levels that is influenced by various social, economic and political contingencies, and which is crucial for the survival and development of fledgling democracies.' Professor Brij Maharaj, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa  'The book provides food for thought, as much in the empirical and practical domain as in the theoretical domain, and presents critical visions as well as discussions that are mainstream.'

'Among contemporary thinkers Alasdair MacIntyre is in the first rank, and merits the interest and influence he has received and has had. He is , though, a complex thinker whose work has taken several, often unexpected turns, and it is not easy to attain a clear view of the development, overall shape and internal structure of his thought. It is immensely helpful, therefore, to have this study by Thomas D'Andrea which is unrivalled in its range and attention to the phases and aspects of MacIntyre's work. No-one seriously interested in the course of development of one of the main philosophical projects of the present day can afford to overlook this welcome guide.' John Haldane, University of St Andrews  Thomas D'Andrea's book is a must for anyone interested in MacIntyre's thought.  Astonishingly painstaking and comprehensive, it illuminates the better-known works by setting them in the context of his entire career.  Particularly valuable is D'Andrea's account of MacIntyre's early critiques of Moore and Stevenson, which make many cryptic passages in later works more fully intelligible.  Future interpreters of AFTER VIRTUE will ignore D'Andrea at their peril.  Martha Nussbaum, The University of Chicago  ’... provides a helpful overview that rightly directs attention to MacIntyre's engagement with psychoanalysis and the philosophy of social science...’ First Things  ’The breath of D'Andrea's familiarity with MacIntyre's corpus enables him to draw connections between the latter's ethical theory and his underlying metaphysics, psychology, and philosophy of religion... D'Andrea covers a vast amount of MacIntyre's scholarly output without neglecting important secondary literature.’ Philosophy  ’The virtues of D'Andrea are numerous... D'Andrea provides us with a comprehensive and dispassionate although not impartial overview of the thought of Alasdair MacIntyre.  His account stays close to the original texts and its didactical merits are obvious from the outset.’ E

’... this volume is a welcome collection of careful research and clear expression on the orthodoxies we usually fail to recognize, whether in the Byzantine or other contexts.

’So many books and articles have been written about September 11 and its aftermath that it is now  almost impossible to tell the wheat from the chaff. Thank goodness then for this contribution which deals intelligently, wisely and without rancour with the impact of the new Bush Doctrine on Europe Old and New. At last, 9/11 is beginning to produce a serious scholarship.’ Professor Michael Cox, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK  ’European Security After 9/11 has much to say about security in Europe in an era in which terrorism is the major threat.  The essays provide a superb mix of theory and empirical examination of the security policies of the United States and the major European states - as well as their disagreements.  The reader looking for meaningful and balanced discussion of the impact of the Bush Doctrine on longstanding relationships will find here a concise, but incisive treatment - probably the best yet available in English.’ Dr Roger Kanet, University of Miami, USA  '...undoubtedly useful and well-documented empirical detail provided by the case studies.' Political Studies Review  'This welcome volume offers a varied and well-informed analysis of European security in the wake of "9/11".  The case study chapters are a real strength of the book, offering a concise account for any one seeking to understand the context and intracacies of the response to this unquestionably significant event' Perspectives on European Politics and Society  'European Security After 9/11 now finally provides the rigorous and thoughtful analysis of the new European security landscape so lacking in the extant literature.'
