Review

"A much-needed alternative to the usual treatment of world politics." --International Journal of Comparative Sociology

This review is from: Global Politics in the Human Interest, 5th Edition (Paperback)

Global Politics is a decent explanation of Gurtov's point of view, which is very liberal; it felt like Gurtov was trying to indoctrinate me to his point of view, like reading creationist literature on the other end of the spectrum. This would have been okay, if my professor had a book with moderate point of view; it is probably too much to hope for a conservative point of view since they do not think global world peace is possible.
