Read what your colleagues are saying
about International Politics in a Changing World.
"I found the book comprehensive, thoughtful, responsive
to the needs of todays university undergraduate, and
a delight to read. Congratulations to the authors for assembling
this monumental work."
Robert Charles Angel, University
of South Carolina
"By and large this text reads like listening to a very
good lecturer: clear, concise, well-presented and accessible
narrative. It engages the reader with its relaxed style and
use of examples, without belaboring the jargon."
Primo Vannicelli, University
of Massachusetts Boston
"I strongly support the authors approach as a nice
hybrid of international relations and comparative foreign
policy. There is a pressing need to bridge the two fields
in the post-Cold War world."
Ross E. Burkhart, Boise State
University
"Refreshing, surprisingly current, good integration of
data and theory; illustrative (excellent case study material);
very comprehensive and in depth; sound analysis; balanced
treatment (included feminist theory along with mainstream
orientations)."
Ernst W. Gohlert, Eastern Washington
University
"There are several strengths. The most significant one
is the effective way in which the authors introduce relatively
complex theoretical concepts without getting too bogged down
in the abstract
I would certainly adopt this text."
-Kelly E. Eaton, Nebraska Wesleyan
University
"The text content takes a very novel approach, combining
the theoretical chapters and the regional applications. This
is an attempt to bridge the gap between theory and practice
in International Relations and is certainly very laudable."
Choudhury M. Shamin, California
State University-Fullerton
"The development of an appropriate conceptual framework,
chapter by chapter, followed by chapters on geographical regions
is skillfully done. This enables students to apply relevant
concepts to the analysis of situations
The major strengths
of this text are its strong conceptual framework, an approach
which enables students to see conflicting viewpoints and critically
examine them, and the timeliness, with a focus on current
issues and their implications for the future."
Stephen L. Rozman, Tougaloo
College
"I am impressed with the texts theoretical underpinnings
and the knowledge map it provides to guide the reader through
the many events, past and present, that constitute the stuff
of politics among nations and non-nation actors. The major
strength of the text is its theoretical soundness and empirical
completeness as the authors attempt to capture background
essentials (continuity element) and incorporate emerging trends,
insights, and developments (change element)."
D. Elwood Dunn, Sewanee University
of the South
