"Focusing on a particular aspect of soft power-naming and shaming strategies-the volume provides a carefully argued analysis of their possibilities and limits. ... The Politics of Leverage does several things very well. It helps scholars think more systematically about naming and shaming-how to conceptualize and disaggregate them, and explore more carefully what work they do. ... The volume thus provides much-needed analytic precision to broad claims about the role of soft power in global politics." (Jeffrey T. Checkel, International Relations, Vol. 14, March, 2016)
