For this book I am particularly grateful to the people who have written the regional and country commentaries which bring all the key themes to life and to the people who have advised me on specific topics and chapters. These include: Dr. Kambiz Boomla and Dr. Paula Baraister on .

Niamh Herlihy worked very effectively as my researcher for the first half of the book whilst Vanessa Halipi and Johanna Riha contributed through reading and advising.

My publishers: Jo Koster and Julia Molloy and Nora Naughton; all made sure the book was presentable and professional.

Finally, and above all, my thanks go to my wife Sin for her constant support and illuminating insights. The book is so much better for her help.
