Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-18 00:00:00 Lance Smith One of the best works to bridge the gap between domestic and international, democracy and world politics. Held offers thorough and persuasive arguments, even if some bits are especially tough to overcome due to his writing style. Besides, some (myself included) might reckon he overrates the role attributed to WWII and the UN in creating a new world order - which he labels 'UN-Charter model of international politics'. While power-politics realists would certainly treat this book with disdain, any PS/IR student who's interested in the (not-so-)new trends of global politics and democratic theory should try it.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-18 00:00:00 John Murdzek It is always remarkable when a thinker, well entrenched within a particular intellectual mileu, is nevertheless able to reorient the discipline with a new question. Well, I do not know the impact this book has had on identity theorists and cosmopolitanists, but it really should. At any rate, Honig explores the centrality of otherness to the constitutional/foundational moment in politics and also to a polity's constant articulations about its own nature. In this sense, this book is also a risky venture because Honig willing to turn the proverbial gaze onto herself and other theorists living and working in the west.
