Reviews

Governing Abroad is a theoretically innovative, methodologically rigorous, and empirically rich study of coalition politics in foreign policy making. Based on quantitative and case study evidence, Sibel Oktay's book advances our understanding of the domestic politics of foreign policy making in liberal democracies. --Wolfgang Wagner, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam-- Wolfgang Wagner Oktay presents elegant arguments--grounded in rigorous coalition theory and tested with comparative case studies and large statistical analyses--explaining why some governments are more adventurous foreign policy actors than others. This must-read for coalition and foreign policy scholars alike makes a substantial and timely contribution to our understanding of multiparty policymaking. --David Fortunato, University of California, San Diego -- David Fortunato Oktay's book masterfully builds on work in foreign policy analysis and comparative politics to take the study of coalition foreign policy to a whole new level. With a mixed-methods approach, the book is rich and rigorous. Oktay's findings are truly significant for understanding foreign relations of parliamentary democracies. --Juliet Kaarbo, University of Edinburgh -- Juliet Kaarbo Oktay's fine book will be valuable for scholars and researchers in the general field of foreign policy analysis. It is a major contribution to the literature on parliamentary foreign policy and, in particular, the vibrant theoretical research on coalition politics and foreign policy decision making. --Joe D. Hagan, West Virginia University -- Joe D. Hagan This book presents a more nuanced treatment of coalition politics than previous work and therefore adds a new layer to our understanding of how coalition government affects foreign policy making. --Marijke Breuning, University of North Texas-- Marijke Breuning
