Rezensionen

"The book relates to literature on international relations and the role of emerging powers in global governance. ... The book offers a contribution to the literature on global governance in the issue areas of health, food safety and bioenergy in general, and about Brazil's foreign relations in these particular sectors. ... The author develops a clear and coherent analytical framework, which is consistently applied in each sector analysed, offering thus an overall well structured book, which is reader friendly."
