bölümler çok uzun bu da kitabı çok sıkıcı ve takip edilmesi zor yapıyor bir yıldız ordan kırdım.
amerika çok önemli bir ülke olabilir yine de bu kadar amerika merkezli olması belli bir yerden sonra sıkıyor bir puan da ordan kırmak istedi canım.
bu kitap bana A- aldırsın belki o zaman 5 yıldız veririm.

Yine Amerika bakış açılı bir ders kitabı fakat Heywoodtan iyi yazılmıştı. Chapterları da gereksiz uzundu hani gerek yok Özgoş aynı şeyi daha kısa bir şekilde anlatabiliyor.

A good introduction indeed. The only struggle I had with this book is that there are some chapters that are very enjoyable to read, while others are just unbearable, but this is based on my personal taste.
A critique that I want to expose is the fact that, even though the Marxist point of view is present in the book, it usually gets overshadowed by the liberal, realist and constructivist traditions.

Really well-written book, but the website related to it? Absolutely immaculate, 10,000/10. I wish more books had such features.

Excellent introduction to these topics even for someone who isn’t studying the subject.
