It is theoretically sophisticated, historically informed, conjuncturally nuanced, empirically robust and provides a solid basis for analysing developments following the Brexit debacle, whatever these might be."--Bob Jessop, Lancaster University, UK "If you are not yet familiar with Scott Lavery\'s work, you very soon will be, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook.
