I am using this book for my Introductory international relations class. Art and Jervis choose excellent articles that counter each other so you are able to form your own opinion based on various scholars. Though it is not comprehensive, the text is essential to learnings in International relations
Nice collection of articles on issues in International Relations. Covers historical concepts like realism and liberalism, has commentary on current trends, and and makes predictions for the future. Has a lot on globalization.
very interesting, but not a light read. I'd suggest taking notes in the margins, highlighting and looking up the references. and don't forget the caffeine some of the included essays can get a bit dry
I used this book for my introductory IR class. This is great because the selection of articles makes this a balanced book. What I mean by this is that if the topic is X, and one reading presents side A, then the other reading about topic X will talk about side B. The article are all short and easy to digest. My only issues with the book is that everything is single spaced, so if you like to write notes in the margins of the book, then you need to write small.Lastly, if you're a student purchasing this book, get the international edition. It's cheaper and the material is all the same.
Good sampling of international relations material in a well organized fashion. It's a great introduction to the field. The only disappointing part is not having the full texts of some of the samplings, as many of them are so interesting! That's what a library's for...
One of the best of the introductory level texts in this field. It has a an effective approach of blending traditional concepts and methods with contemporary situations and techniques in the field of international politics.
A great book that can open your eyes to politics. From knowing very little about the topic, I can proudly say that I learned a lot having now read this book.
I used this book for my political science class and loved it. It has a wide range of views that are explained clearly and by the top names in the field.
