5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on International Relations!, December 26, 2008

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Globalization of World Politics (Paperback)
This is the fourth edition of Baylis and Smith's (which now includes Owens) The Globalization of World Politics. The book is of great use in introducing the novice to the field of international relations as well as being a reliable companion for the experienced scholar. It is of invaluable assistance as a good source of reference in writing papers and in serving as a primary textbook. It is indeed a great manual for bachelors and masters' level students and their lecturers.
I used this textbook as a student and now I am using it as an instructor. My students have found it to be reader-friendly to the point that they have even been reading on their own ahead of what is required of them which says a lot.
Essentially, Baylis and Smith do a great job in describing difficult and complex notions and concepts in a straightforward and lucid manner. If you have not yet purchased it, waste no more time in doing so. You will definitely not regret it. 5 Stars

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, October 24, 2008

This review is from: The Globalization of World Politics (Paperback)
It is an excellent book if you desire to study International Relation. The book gave you very intensive review of all kinds of theory, included but not limited to: Realism theory, Liberalism theory, the English School theory, Constructivism theory, Marxism theory and so on. The book gave you very detail descriptions of every theory and some historical examples.

The book is written and published by British writer and publisher, which gave you slightly different point of views from domestic (U.S.) writers and publishers in regarding international relation.
