Acknowledgments
I would like to thank those mentors and colleagues who were kind enough to provide their guidance and to critique this work in one of its many iterations, including George Shambaugh, Charlie Kupchan, Chris Joyner, Kate McNamara, and Linda Hantrais, as well as Tony Arend, Kirsten Ainley, and Leslie Vinjamuri for their encouragement along the way. I would also like to thank my editor John Haslam at Cambridge University Press for his support from proposal to finished product, as well as the Centre for International Studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science for their support.
