ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book has its origin in the doctoral dissertation I completed at Oxford. I am extremely grateful to Simon Caney for his superb supervision and enduring support. My intellectual debt to him is beyond measure. Stuart White and Darrel Moellendorf examined my dissertation. Their insightful comments led to the subsequent expansion and revisions of my dissertation and eventually its transformation into a book, for which I am grateful to them. Upon my arrival at Oxford, I was fortunate enough to have Nick Bunnin as my first supervisor. I thank him for his warm counsel and support, which was invaluable to me. I am also indebted to Pochung Chow, who has inspired me to study political theory. The Swire Educational Trust provided generous financial support for my graduate study and I am grateful for its support. Earlier versions of the material included in this book have been presented at various conferences and workshops organized by the Academic Sinica in Taipei, the European Political Science Association, the International Studies Association, the Political Studies Association of the UK, the University of Minho, Portugal, and the American Political Science Association. I have benefited significantly from the comments of the audiences
