An exhaustive overview of world politics - the material in this text is so comprehensive, it's hard to scratch below the surface. Although a lot of interesting historical subject are covered, the lines between global politics and political theory - notwithstanding the philosophical presuppositions that are engrained throughout the text; for instance, why must we strive towards 'a better more unified world' in the first place? - and thereby the the material, from start to finish, in my eyes is highly controversial and moot. Would not recommend this book.
