"The depth of research for this book is simply superb, and the text of the empirical chapters demonstrates this while still flowing smoothly and cogently...For the empirical detail alone, this book should be required reading for all students of Jordanian politics." — Middle East Journal
"Shifting our attention from international to domestic politics, Lynch provocatively argues that [Jordan’s recent] foreign policy changes are due to debates occurring within a changing public sphere over what is Jordan’s identity and what are Jordanian national interests. At once theoretically challenging and historically rich, State Interests and Public Spheres is a book that will engage scholars of Middle Eastern politics and international relations." — Michael Barnett, professor of political science, University of Wisconsin, Madison
