Review Quotes

"The book is a valuable contribution to literature because there are very limited books that are written specifically for the issue of South-South Cooperation. ... the book is enriched with examples that clearly define the discussed concepts and comments. Moreover, the book gives a great place to the international and regional institutions in the context of South-South Cooperation, and it is very crucial in this globalized world that the role of the institutions is not denied." (Yağmur Erşan, Turkish Weekly, turkishweekly.net, December, 2015)
