The Globalization of World Politics Reviews

This textbook offers an extraordinary combination of historical, conceptual, and thematic breadth; accessible prose written by some of IR's greatest minds; and a perspective that is genuinely global in scope. It is a must-read for students of International Relations from around the world. Arlene B. Tickner, Universidad de los Andes Review from previous edition I love this text and the students do too. It's received very high evaluations and students have given a lot of positive feedback about this text. One student described it as empowering - I can't think of a better recommendation than that. Valerie D'Erman, sessional instructor, University of Victoria The Globalization of World Politics is the most comprehensive International Relations textbook. The number and diversity of topics covered makes it a very flexible teaching tool. Felix Ciuta, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, University College London This is a brilliant textbook that helps set common ground in introductory courses that are attended by many students with different backgrounds. Pia Riggirozzi, Lecturer in Global Politics, University of Southampton The Globalization of World Politics gives undergraduate students an informative and accessible overview of what is an extremely challenging and complex subject. Kenneth McDonagh, Lecturer in International Relations, Dublin City University This is a comprehensive analysis of contemporary developments in global politics, written by a team of experts in the various fields. It makes its subject-matter accessible to undergraduates without disguising the complexity of the concepts and issues it explores. It covers both the theories and the practice of international relations in a way which will satisfy the requirements of all introductory courses, while laying the foundations for specialised study at more advanced levels. Mark Garnett, Senior Lecturer, Lancaster University
