Editorial Reviews
Review
"Viotti and Kauppi have produced a very readable, comprehensive, and well-balanced text. The writing is current, clear, focused and well-organized. The treatment of the theoretical aspects and applications of the theory show that a great deal of care was taken to ensure that the students reinforce the concepts they are reading about with real life examples."—Larry Marinez, California State University, Long Beach
"Excellent chapter on terrorism and transnational crime, a very timely topic that is not included in many world politics texts."—Roxanne L. Doty, Arizona State University

Great Intro to IR,

This review is from: International Relations and World Politics: Security, Economy, Identity (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Unbiased evaluation of international relations focusing on key issues of security, economics, and identity. Other themes include globalization and resource managment. Each segment includes web links to locations which further your study. Each chapter includes historical perspective as well as theroetical underpinnings. The end of the book has a handy glossary from which to quickly recall previously discussed definitions. Whether you are a realist, internationalist, structuralist or feminist, or a little of each, you will improve your understanding on the state of nations and how we got here and hopefully develop insight into where we are going.

I got this package way before I expected to, I was given a tracking number which really helped. The book was in better condition than I expected it to be, given the price. So all in all I was quite happy with my purchase.
