"Privatizing the State is an exciting book that will appeal to readers across many disciplines and to specialists on Africa, the Middle East, East and Southeast Asia, China, Russia, and Eastern Europe. The audience will include students in political economy, development economics, economic anthropology, critics of the IMF and the World Bank (including many from within those institutions), and almost anyone interested in making sense of the supposed 'failures' of neoliberal reform, the power attributed to the processes of globalization, or the current political and economic crises that appear to characterise so many regions of the world." — Timothy Mitchell, New York University
"Likely to appeal to theoretical political scientists... Recommended" — Choice
"Profitable reading for scholars and graduate students." — International Studies Review
