This was a very well done book, and was required reading for one of my classes. I really liked that there were graphs to help illustrate some of the information and that there were discussion questions at the end of each chapter. The chapters themselves were very well laid out and easily understood as well.

Stylistically, I was grabbed by the headings. Several different typefaces were used in the layout, which would not have annoyed me as much if the typefaces were more closely related. This is something that has no bearing on the information, but if you are one of those people that like to see type families that are less jarring, try not to grind your teeth at the headers too much.

This was a very good book for an overview of International Organization and the parts that IOs, NGOs and IGOs have to play in world politics. It gave comprehensive explanation of the various models as well.
