Way back when, I taught courses in international politics at Alfred University (in Western New York). This book was a nice resource, helping me develop lectures in a variety of perspectives on international relations.

The value of the book? It's description of an array of theories as to how world politics operates. Among the views: environmental theories, realist theory, systems theory, economic theories of imperialism and war, nuclear deterrence theory, integration, decision-making theories, and game theory. Other approaches, as well, are considered, but the preceding listing provides examples as to what this book considers.

In its day, this was a great resource, summarizing key theoretical perspectives in the study of international politics.

Very dense read, but thorough.

[Michael DiCianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

The information contained is a great starting point to international relations theory. Maybe THE starting point.

That does not prevent the information contained from being written in prosaic, mind-numbing prose. It is the equivalent of counting the tiles on a bathroom floor.

This book helped me a lot in college and I've been using this book as a reference since my first term

I didn't read this edition, but one of the earlier one, which was issued in mid 90s. It's an eye-opening book for international relations students back then. I don't know whether it's still "a must read book" among international relations scholar nowadays.

Pfaltzgraff and Dougherty delivered the book in a clear and concise manner.

This book was the worst and greatest thing. So many late nights with this baby, I almost miss it. Very dense but all the more thorough. Most treasured resource when I wrote my thesis on American Foreign Policy in regards to Syria as an undergrad.

I usually don't add books I've read for academic purposes here, but this one is special.
