Review of Political Economy 
 
Books for Review 
 
Hello, all. The Review of Political Economy has received review copies of= 
 the following books. If you are interested in reviewing one or more of them= 
 for us, please get in touch with me via e-mail at [log in to unmask]  
 
We regard book reviews as an important mechanism for the transmission of= 
 information in our discipline. A review should give a clear idea what the= 
 book is about, a sense of its relevance, and an assessment of its strengths= 
 and weaknesses.  
 
As in the past, if I don't know you, please include a bit= 
 of information about yourself and your qualifications for reviewing the= 
 books you selected. I'll take a couple of weeks to sort through competing= 
 requests and then get back to you. It's usually a good idea to indicate= 
 alternate selections. Finally, you may want to visit a publisher's website= 
 to find out more about a book before requesting it, to be sure whether it's= 
 in your line. I look forward to hearing from many of you. 
 
Many thanks in advance.
