Reviews for Trust and Mistrust in International Relations
Winner of the 2006 Best Book Award, Conflict Processes Section of the American Political Science Association "This rigorous but accessible book is a very good choice for graduate and advanced undergraduate classes in international relations. It is a must-read for academic specialists in international relations, and also should be of interest to policymakers and Cold War historians."
