Acknowledgments
This book is the product of a team effort. We want first of all to convey to all of our colleagues involved in the project our deepest appreciation for their cooperation and commitment throughout the endeavor.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the staff and members of the Research Group on International Relations. Many thanks to Élise Lapalme, who, again and as always, worked diligently on the various drafts and on the final version of the manuscript. Thank you also to our research associate Martin Roy for helping us coordinate the whole project, and to our various research assistants whose work, at one time or another, in collecting information and assembling and analyzing data was particularly helpful. Thanks also to David Hagen, Mary Richardson, and Maureen Magee for translating some of the chapters and editing others.
We also deeply appreciate the help and support of the people at Lynne Rienner Publishers. We would like to acknowledge first of all the encouragement of Lynne Rienner herself. And we want to express our gratitude to Sally Glover; to Laurie Rogers, who did a superb job of copyediting; and to Lesli Brooks Athanasoulis, who, as project editor, supervised the production of this book. Special thanks also to the anonymous reviewer, whose comments were extremely useful in preparing the final draft of the manuscript.
Financial support for our research was provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Fonds FCAR of the Government of Québec. We also want to express our gratitude to the Department of Political Science at Laval University, and especially to its chair, Guy Laforest, for having supported in many ways our efforts, and to the Graduate Institute of International Studies at Laval, which generously provides office space and other material support.
