«'Munier's book lifts the veil on the global diamond trade to provide a theoretically informed, and empirically rich, study that will be of interest to a broad range of readers. Through his in-depth study of compliance with Kimberley Process across five Sub-Saharan African states, Munier's work offers an innovative perspective on explaining state compliance that sheds new light on the role and influence of private actors.' Christopher K. Lamont, Tokyo International University»
«'A unique contribution to comparative political economy, international regime theory, and African studies, readers will gain fresh insights into the international behavior of African states as well as the domestic and economic actors that shape compliance with international institutions. This is essential reading for those interested in richer examples from the African continent, and a prized text book for teaching advanced course seminars on international relations of African states.' Daniel Ogbaharya, Union Institute & University»
