International Relations and World Politics

by Paul R. Viotti, Mark V. Kauppi

Updated in its 5 th edition, International Relations and World Politics is a toolkit that offers an authoritative survey of the field and practical ways to analyze current and future world problems. Drawn from the authors’ experience as scholars and practitioners, this new edition was completely rewritten to focus on an enduring teaching and learning goal–how individuals can apply theory, history, geography, and more for a lifetime of understanding politics in a globalized world. Whether as actors themselves in world politics, participants in the global economy, or simply readers of world news, those reading International Relations and World Politics not only get more help to master the field’s concepts but also get more help to understand that these are real-world ideas with real-world implications.

Kitap uluslararası ilişkiler hakkında genel Bilgi veriyor. Okuması yer yer zor ancak sürükleyici. Uluslarası ilişkiler okuması yapmak isteyen biri olarak başlangıç kitabı seçimi olarak okudum. Gayet memnun kaldım. Verdiği örnek argümanlar zihin açıcı.

I read some of the chapters of this book in order to write an undergraduate university paper.

Ignore those naysayers and their reviews.

This is great introductory reading for all things international relations and power politics. Although the book doesn't go very in-depth into the various sub topics (eg Interstate Conflict; Power; Diplomacy); its broadness far compensates for its depth. Also; Viotti's writing is easy to follow and readily digestible.

I highly recommend this book for all who are curious about the trends in world politics today and why they are so.

Pretty useful for internaational relations students. This is definitely not for casual readers.

Good overview, but sometimes language was too "heavy". I wish there was more information on other alternative IR theories, like green thought for example.
