Title: Disappointing
Review: This was disappointing reading for me--after a rather abstruse (but perhaps technically useful to some) delineation of various factors involved in analyzing "state building," the application to any real situations was extremely thin and nothing new. Nor was much "meat" put on the skeleton. It reminded me of university situations where publishing periodically is a necessity. (However, the subject area is only an interest of mine--my Ph.D. is in a different field.)
Is the review positive or negative?
