3.0 out of 5 stars An... Interesting Compilation, March 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essential Readings in World Politics (Fourth Edition) (The Norton Series in World Politics) (Paperback)
It's a decent compilation of articles; however, some of them are absolutely worthless to the theories that they apparently propagate, such as basically all the constructivist articles. Though again, it gives a decent overview of the different theories and such.
