Rezensionen

'A faultless exposition of the quantitative approach to human rights inquiry...will be essential reading for those engaged in this field...it is difficult to see how this book could be improved.' - International Affairs

'The Landmand project is serious, well-argued and challenging; it also contains a promise for a new branch or application of social science, which may produce firm results in the political sociology of human rights practices.' - Zenon Stavrinides, The Philosopher
