Reviews
An excellent example of using theory to illuminate a particular event. H-Net Reviews Mayer has produced an excellent political economy treatise on the conceptualization and launch of the North American Free Trade Agreement-probably the definitive treatment of the subject available today. -- I. Walter, New York University Choice Mayer'sInterpreting NAFTA: The Science and Art of Political Analysis quickly became a classic in the field... Mayer's conceptual framework creatively shows how rational choice, institutional process, and symbolic analysis are each incomplete yet complementary. His combination of crisp, accessible prose and an eclectic conceptual approach works well. -- Jonathan Fox Latin American Research Review
