The book articulates a wide range of complex and relevant concepts and theories of IR in a fashion that is appealing to introductory students. The style of writing, the organization of the material, and the presentation of the content is quite conducive to elevated pedagogical standards. Visually, the amount of maps, bars, and charts is also quite appealing and helpful in presenting topics and subject matter to introductory students."

scholarship and pedagogy."
