"WORLD POLITICS is still the most rigorous, scientifically-oriented undergraduate textbook available. It has educated a generation of IR students, showing them how it is possible and insightful to think systematically about IR. I use it as a classic. . . ."
"The best true social science introduction to IR at the college level."
"The prose is clear, the amount of detail and assumption of factual knowledge are good, and the interest level is appropriate. My students, who are not ranked in the top tier, nonetheless find this text accessible. . . ."
"Russett and Starr's presentation of international politics is sophisticated but at the same time lucid even for the novice, it is well-informed, and it concentrates the student's attention on the core of international politics itself rather than on literature reviews of what others have said about international politics."
