[Keith · Rating 5 out of 5]

The last chapter is the gem of the book along with the well-written literature reviews on the multitude of foreign policy approaches. Part III (What States Do) was somewhat less useful and seemed the least comprehensive to me, but it didn't detract from the overall utility of the work.
