Controversies in Globalization: Contending Approaches to International Relations

by Peter M. Haas (Editor), John A. Hird (Editor)

Debate-style readers can be provocative teaching tools, but if the readings are not in dialogue with one another, the crux of the debate is lost on students. Editors Hird and Haas solve this issue by inviting 15 pairs of scholars and practitioners to directly address current questions in IR through brief "yes" and "no" pieces. Providing necessary context, introductions frame the debate, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective. Concluding discussion questions in each chapter encourage further analysis.

[Eli Hinze · Rating 5 out of 5]

Presents the facts, and has essays arguing both for and against the motion(s) by credentialed experts. Very little editorializing and let's you make up your mind for yourself. Overall a compelling book.
