Edited by an international board of distinguished leadership scholars from the United States, Europe and Asia, the series publishes cutting-edge Research that reaches out to a global readership. The editors are gratefully supported by an advisory board comprising of: Takashi Inoguchi (University of Tokyo, Japan), R.A.W. Rhodes (University of Southampton, UK) and Ferdinand Müller-Rommel (University of Luneburg, Germany). More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/14602
