In celebration, we welcome you to our redesigned website. Our new platform will, we hope, not only enhance your experience, but also foster a deeper connection with our community of scholars, librarians, educators, and other readers.
Over the years, we’ve strived to be a pioneering force in independent publishing, and we take great pride in what and who we publish. We’re honored by the relationships we’ve formed along the way. What follows are some kind words from just a few of our spectacular authors.
Stephen Morris, author of The Corruption Dilemma: Controlling the Power of the Powerful and many more:
I have had the pleasure of working with Lynne and her team for many years. They couple kindness with professionalism, making the publishing experience pain-free and fulfilling. Congratulations on 40 years of contributing to intellectual explorations and discoveries.
John Clark, editor of Political Identity and African Foreign Policies and coauthor of Africa’s International Relations: Balancing Domestic and Global Interests:
Lynne Rienner has been a great friend to the scholarly community that studies the Global South. She takes a personal interest in every project, and LRP publishes the highest quality work in the social sciences. Lynne’s eye for excellence and innovation in academic work is unmatched. Her deep understanding of the social science world has helped countless scholars, myself included, improve their work. The LRP staff refines and processes manuscripts with great professionalism, but in a timely manner. The publications of LRP have been a great resource for the scholarly community for over forty years.
Lynda Barrow, author of Religion and Politics on the World Stage: An IR Approach:
Writing during summers and sabbaticals, Religion and Politics on the World Stage was a nine-year labor of love. I was thrilled to have LRP publish it - and to work with Lynne Rienner directly as the editor. Her guidance resulted in a better, more focused book.
Robert Springborg, editor of Security Assistance in the Middle East: Challenges ... and the Need for Change among others:
I may hold LRP's record for author and editor with most books published under its imprint. The first was in 1999 followed in 2021 and 2023 with hopes for two more in 2025.
I have obviously been a glutton for the pleasure of working with what I have found to be the most dedicated, professional, considerate publisher in the business, headed and staffed by folks with whom it is always a delight to deal and whose personal engagement with publishing projects is unequalled. This happy state of affairs is due both to the commitment of Lynne and her staff, and to the fact that theirs is one of the few remaining entirely independent, privately owned presses. How nice it is to be able to join LRP's outstanding list of publications on the Middle East.
I should like to raise a toast to Lynne and her staff for their signal contribution to academic publishing while making the experience of doing so such a pleasurable one for me and for friends and colleagues.
