Product description

Review

Review(s) from previous edition"The Globalization of World Politics is one of the most commercially successful textbooks published by Oxford University Press, and with even a quick flick through it is not difficult to see why. It aims to combine history, theory, structure and process with contemporary international issues, and it does so in a way that is clearly presented. This is an ideal text for students who are new to the subject, but it also remains a key resource as students continue in their studies. Although the book's aim is introductory, its breadth and depth make it a worthwhile investment. - Ariene Caloia, third-year politics student, Royal Holloway, University of London "I have had very, very good experiences with your "IR bible" [The Globalization of World Politics by Baylis et al] as well as Strategy in the Contemporary World. I wish all my books were this informative - extremely well written, clearly structured and of high quality! Everywhere I go, I take these books with me. Keep up the good work!" - Romain Markwalder, Postgraduate student, King's College, London

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent textbook introduction to the complexity of world politics

    Not easy reading, but a well-rounded discussion of political theory and institutions, reflecting and explaining the differing views among its three authors as well as among well known theorists and practitioners of the political arts.

    Ich hatte in meinem politikwissenschaftlichen Studium nie ein solches Buch in der Hand. Das gab es damals (80er Jahre) einfach nicht in Deutschland: Ein Fachbuch, das sich nicht scheute, den Studenten auf verständliche Weise in die Materie einzuführen und Dinge zu erklären.

    Genau dies tut das Buch von John Baylis et al. The Globalization of World Politics: An Introduction to International Relations. Es ist didaktisch hervorragend gemacht. Alles ist darauf angelegt, komplexe Theorien, Stukturen und aktuelle Fragestellungen so darzustellen, dass der interessierte Nicht-Fachmann es verstehen kann.

    Es beginnt mit einem kurzen Inhaltsverzeichnis, das dann mit mehr Detail noch einmal aufgelistet wird. Die Inhalte sind in ansprechender Weise unterteilt und Absätze (visuell wiederum sehr ansprechend) mit Unter-Überschriften versehen. Dazu gibt es "Key Points", die wesentliche Inhalte übersichtlich in einer Box darstellen. "Case Studies" beziehen das theoretisch Beschriebene auf einzelne Fälle gegenwärtiger Politik. Schließlich gibt es zu jedem Kapitel Fragen und Aufgaben zum eigenständigen Lernen und auch noch Literaturhinweise zum weiteren Studium. Bilder, Grafiken, Statistiken runden das Buch ab.

    Eine bessere Einführung in die Theorie der internationalen Beziehungen habe ich bisher nie gesehen. Ein echtes Lehrbuch im besten Sinn des Wortes.
