Recensioner i media

“The book is consistent and well-written throughout. … Gherghina and his colleagues have produced a useful comparative work aimed to inspire more research and innovation in party and political leadership research, and not only in Eastern Europe. … the book can serve incumbent and aspiring political professionals, too. For all these reasons, Party Leaders in Eastern Europe is a very welcome and highly timely contribution to the scrutiny of our political leaders.” (Máté Mátyás, Europe-Asia Studies, August 20, 2021)
