Reviews

'Friman and colleagues make an important contribution for IR theory and with real policy relevance. Soft power strategies such as naming and shaming too often are more embraced than analyzed. The Politics of Leverage in International Relations provides an analytic framework which digs deeper with both intensive case studies on a range of policy areas (human rights, money laundering, drugs, armed conflict, corporate social responsibility) that are valuable in their own right as well as being woven together to get at patterns showing when, why and how such leverage can be effective.' - Bruce W. Jentleson, Duke University and Woodrow Wilson Center Naming and shaming has become a widely deployed and analyzed strategy of transnational activists to remind states of their self-imposed legal obligations, in particular in the context of the post-World War II legal regime build around the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). This edited volume takes a comprehensive critical perspective on social and material sanctioning and develops key insights into the conditions under which such strategies actually make a difference. Looking beyond naming and shaming as an exclusive weapon of the weak, the contributors to this important volume establish a comprehensive framework capable of analyzing the effectiveness of public exposure within its broader context of how international actors seek to influence others through the politics of leverage.' - Hans Peter Schmitz, Syracuse University
