Notwithstanding this naivety, progressive governments in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK, made way for reform successes to inspire policymakers today wishing to overcome senseless polarization, tackle global challenges, and build a new era of opportunity, justice and prosperity.’ – Anton Hemerijck, European University Institute, Italy Jan 2025 248 pp Hardback 978 1 80220 051 5 £95.00 / $135.00 Rethinking Political Science and International Studies series eBook • Elgaronline POLITICAL SCIENCE & PUBLIC POLICY NEW TITLES, JAN – MARCH 2025

The authors employ graphic analysis – supplementing words with images – so the complexity of international conflict is part of the theorizing yet is understandable by all.’ – Douglas Lemke, Pennsylvania State University, USA Jan 2025 372 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 1159 0 £130.00 / $165.00 Jan 2025 Paperback 978 1 0353 1161 3 £43.95 / $63.95 eTextbook Course leaders – examination copies will be available on publication Nile Basin Politics POLITICAL SCIENCE & PUBLIC POLICY NEW TITLES, JAN – MARCH 2025
