Acknowledgements

 

I wish to thank all those who read chapters or early versions of the manuscript, namely Lawrence Broz, Allan Castle, Michel Goyer, John Hall, Peter Johnson, Barbara Kotschwar, Rebecca Lee, Mike Lusztig, Hudson Meadwell, Lilliana Riga. Their comments were most helpful. I also want to thank Benjamin Cohen, Jeff Frieden, John Goodman, and Eric Helleiner for comments on parts of the manuscript which I presented at conferences. I should also thank those colleagues and students who attended the two presentations I gave at McGill, for they pressured me to tighten up several aspects of the argument. While I undoubtedly didn’t appreciate everything in the comments and suggestions from these varied sources, I hope I included a response to most—and that the book reflects their insights as well as mine. I also benefited from the observations of Kate Wittenberg and two anonymous reviewers for Columbia University Press, who helped shape the final product. Of course, responsibility for all errors and mistakes remains fully with me.

Finally, I should thank my wife, Annette, for her support and understanding during this project. Time can be a precious commodity; I thank her for letting me spend so many mornings writing, and for making the rest of our days together so much fun.
