Review
"The Retreat of the State is rich in detailed argument and discussion....This book deserves a very wide readership among those interested in where the modern territorial state and the modern state system are headed as we enter the twenty-first century." Stephen J. Kobrin, American Political Science Review
"...an impassioned critique of those who argue that the state's control of its currency, or even home-based multinational companies, remains intact....a refreshing pause from the political and academic attacks that attend globalization and a sophisticated interweaving of the political and economic threads that are globalization." Current History
"The Retreat of the State goes a long way to breaking the bounds of traditional analyses of the international political economy." Daniel J. Whiteneck, The Review of Politics
"...the book provides a useful discussion of some of the major dimensions of political change in the global economy....it will be useful for students who wish a good introduction to the topic." The International History Review
