Review

Review from previous edition: "I love this text and the students do too. It's received very high evaluations and students have given a lot of positive feedback about this text. One student described it as 'empowering' - I can't think of a better recommendation than that."

--Valerie D'Erman, sessional instructor, University of Victoria

"The Globalization of World Politics is the most comprehensive International Relations textbook. The number and diversity of topics covered makes it a very flexible teaching tool."

--Felix Ciuta, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, University College London

"This is a brilliant textbook that helps set common ground in introductory courses that are attended by many students with different backgrounds."

--Pia Riggirozzi, Lecturer in Global Politics, University of Southampton

"The Globalization of World Politics gives undergraduate students an informative and accessible overview of what is an extremely challenging and complex subject."

--Kenneth McDonagh, Lecturer in International Relations, Dublin City University

"This is a comprehensive analysis of contemporary developments in global politics, written by a team of experts in the various fields. It makes its subject-matter accessible to undergraduates without disguising the complexity of the concepts and issues it explores. It covers both the theories
and the practice of international relations in a way which will satisfy the requirements of all introductory courses, while laying the foundations for specialised study at more advanced levels."

--Mark Garnett, Senior Lecturer, Lancaster University
