"Based on many years of teaching international relations courses and long-time collaboration between the authors, this major new text provides an authoritative introduction to international relations and to the long-standing questions that have engaged generations of IR scholars and students. Boxed features in each chapter help students navigate the 'levels of analysis', view the world from multiple perspectives, and 'make connections' between theory and practice, past and present, and aspirations and reality"--
A good introductory handbook, used for a university course, otherwise I would never have approached such a demanding book. As every textobook, many passages are extremely heavy.
A well-written, readable intro to this topic. Slightly biased and I disagree with all of its talks on feminism as a political structure, but nonetheless a very good textbook.
