This book focuses attention on the foreign policy institutions of developing nation states, a relatively neglected area in the comparative study of adaptation to international change. 'This collection provides comparative analysis of foreign policy making processes and capabilities in developing nations. Robertson (politics and international studies, U. of Warwick, UK) and East (international affairs and political science, George Washington U., US) first present three papers with different takes on the overall question, focusing in turn on domestic economic structures that favor international clients, the power of US unipolarity, and the comparative advantages developing nations have in applying technology to their policy-making. Case studies are then presented of policy-making in Brazil, China, the Eastern Caribbean, Egypt, Ghana, and Malaysia. A pair of concluding chapters reflects on the lessons of the previous studies and discusses normative issues.' -Reference & Research Book News 'This text makes a considerable effort towards renovating the subfield of comparative foreign policy.' - International Affairs
