"A well-integrated comprehensive exploration of bullying in a range of national contexts. It confronts research challenges and cultural drivers and constraints taking account of economic and social contexts. There has been such a need for these sorts of comprehensive overviews, and this is a great start. The editors and authors have done a fine job producing scholarly and accessible material on a greatly under-appreciated field of research." — Diana Kelly, School of Humanities and Social Inquiry, University of Wollongong, Australia
"Impressive and unique compliment to global research on negative workplace behaviors" — Ellen Pinkos Cobb, JD, Author of Workplace Bullying, Violence, Harassment, Discrimination and Stress: International Laws, Developments, and Resources
