Reviews and Awards

Chosen as an Outstanding Academic Book of 1997 by Choice

"In coverage of the discipline, historical depth, and international perspective this constitutes an exceptionally comprehensive survey of political science....A definitive reference work in the field."--Choice

"The most comprehensive and well-done effort to describe the state of political science extant. It contains much which will be required reading. I strongly recommend it."--Seymour Martin Lipset

"A masterly and authoritative survey, comprehensive yet compact, by a stellar international cast of contributors....A most worthy successor to the old Greenstein-Polsby Handbook, published two decades ago."--Arend Lijphart

"An extraordinarily useful mapping of what has happened in the discipline in the last twenty years....Scholars are well advised to read this new, single-volume Handbook in its entirety. For this volume is not only a collection of brilliant contributions, but also a much needed cross-fertilizing endeavor."--Giovanni Sartori
