Acknowledgements
This book represents the culmination of a long journey, which began when I was a graduate student at the University of Oxford. An extended cast of people have contributed, either directly or indirectly, wittingly or unwittingly, to making this book possible. First of all, I thank my former supervisor, Jan Zielonka, for his faith, encouragement and support throughout the years of my doctorate. To be sure, his feedback was direct, sometimes daunting, but never unfair, and always rewarding.

I also thank the Research Council of Norway for funding my research (grant 204415). A particular note of gratit
