"The case studies are very detailed and for that reason are likely to be cited as the authoritative works on the U.S. government's attempts to impose its will on its trading partners in these areas." — Kim Richard Nossal, McMaster University"State, Firms, and Power addresses an important issue area, and provides interesting and relevant case studies. It is also thoughtful and scholarly, providing both qualitative and quantitative analysis. In this last sense it represents an emerging research style in international relations." — Jonathan Kirshner, Cornell University
