Description: Global Politics covers all of the standard topics in the undergraduate level IR/Global Politics course, and also provides more robust coverage of global ecology; gender and race; the different security challenges of our day that go beyond armed conflict; IPE coverage that highlights the divergent paths of the Global North and South; and the growing reliance upon international law, international organizations, and global and regional governance. Utilizing a familiar organization and emphasis of topics, the authors have developed a compelling narrative and features to captivate students who are both "worldly" and "naïve" at the same time.
Review Quotes: "Global Politics does an excellent job of bridging the gap between theory and reality--and therefore applied global affairs--and makes the complexities of international relations understandable to the beginning student."--Robert Weiner, University of Massachusetts, Boston
"I am for a 'less is more' approach to an introductory textbook because today's digital student does not have the time, patience, attention span, or the desire to spend countless hours reading through text. I like the simplicity and straightforward logic that is applied to the text."--Gigi Gokcek, Dominican University of California"I very much appreciate the goals that the authors lay out--in particular, challenging your assumptions and thinking critically."--Angela Nichols, Florida Atlantic University"Global Politics is offered at the appropriate depth and level of complexity for undergraduate students. This book should easily find a place at the top of the market--it is factual without giving away a specific bias in terms of methodology. I like it and others will, too."--Robert Denemark, University of Delaware
