4.0 out of 5 stars A Superb IR Anthology, July 27, 2001
"Contending Theories of International Relations" is an excellent book. It reads more like an anthology than a textbook, but that can be viewed as one of the nice things about it. I very much like the organization of this book. I used it in my international relations courses. This is a wonderful summary of theoretical thought about international politics

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, March 28, 2010
The book offers excellent frameworks and sets of theories to explain issues in the field of International Relations.
Sometimes the chapters are a bit long and repeating itself but that could help some students to better comprehend complex theories and philosophical viewpoints.

3.0 out of 5 stars Textbook Review, March 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The pages on the left are not printed as good as the pages on the right. This was a required book for a college class so it has all of the important information but not a good quality book.
