Bibliography
Dov H. Levin is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at the University of Hong Kong. His main research topic is on the effects of foreign interference with a special focus on the causes, effects, and effectiveness of partisan electoral interventions.
"Levin has written a terrific book based on a major and important
research project." -- Political Science Quarterly
"Given today's concerns about foreign intervention is US elections,
the publication of this book is timely.... Recommended." --
CHOICE
"[Levin's] theoretical framework and thorough empirical work is
nothing less than impressive. The details of the case stories
approach thriller qualities, making the book a good read!" --
Journal of Peace Research
"Levin presents an important paradox: foreign electoral
interference has been extraordinarily frequent in recent history,
and yet political scientists largely ignore the phenomenon....
[T]he first major work focused solely on outside meddling in
elections in the modern era... The book is a valuable foundation
for the further study of a phenomenon that, especially when
supercharged by cybertechnology, could threaten the future of
electoral democracy." --
Foreign Policy
"A pathbreaking book on great power election meddling during the
Cold War. With care and precision, Levin lays out the long
pre-history to the Russian electoral interference in 2016 in
astounding detail. He explains when and why electoral interventions
are effective, and what forms of elector interventions are likely
to work in the future." -- Jack Goldsmith, Henry L. Shattuck
Professor of Law, Harvard University
"Meddling in the Ballot Box is an utterly pathbreaking work on the
important practice of foreign interference in elections. Though
this phenomenon received widespread attention following the 2016
American election, Levin reminds us that it has been occurring for
decades, even centuries. A critical contribution to both academic
and foreign policy debates." -- Dan Reiter, Samuel Candler Dobbs
Professor of Political Science, Emory University
