I read this when I took a course in international political economy. It's a good book for classes because it explains each theory and scenarios clearly.

Great introductory text to sociology that analysis everything in terms of the conflict and the order model. This was a required text for my sociology class. It is not very rough, and easy to read for people just getting into the field.
