Review:

[A] masterful discussion and application of the major theoretical approaches in international relations.... A detailed reading should leave the student not only with a thorough knowledge of the field of international relations (IR) but with a deep appreciation for its breadth and diversity.... A wide range of readers will profit from this well written, concise, and serious volume. (Steven E. Lobell, International Studies Review)

A highly inventive textbook that showcases leading theoretical approaches to IR.... will help students of IR to see the value of theory and to appreciate the very significant differences among and within these approaches. (Amy E. Eckert, Millennium)

A great idea and a great teaching tool! This comprehensive account is beautifully executed, allowing us to 'see' a single case from a range of theoretical perspectives. It is an important demonstration that theoretical diversity illuminates rather than confuses. (Yale H. Ferguson, Rutgers University)
