5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent resource
By Edward on January 15, 2013
Format: Paperback
Shiraev and Zuboks' International Relations is a fantastic resource. I could envision it being used at both the undergraduate and graudate levels. It is well written and has a sound layout that makes it very easy to both teach from and to study. Moreover, I would argue that the book is "entertaining" to read in that it has plenty of illustrative examples which bring the text to life. Students would readily see the applications of what they are learning outside of the confines of the classroom. Another attribute that I liked about this textbook is the great combination between historic and contemporary examples. This makes comparing and contrasting situations, over the centuries, much more easy. In all, I would give this book my absolutely strongest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 starsINTERNATIONAL RELATIONS By Eric Shiraev and Vladislov Zubok
By sugoji on March 20, 2014
Format: Paperback
Many people today are not well educated regarding how their government interacts with other governments and the world. This text is an excellent resource for breaking down the topic into subtopics as the numerous historical examples provide a pillar for the numerous categories. These classifications include, amongst others, the international political economy; international law; sovereignty; foreign policy; Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs), and Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs); and global issues, which include conflict and violence between nations, as well as between ethnic peoples. The act of critical thinking, which is defined as the strategy for examining, evaluating, and understanding international relations by reasoning and valid experience, is additionally stressed throughout the book as a new teaching emphasis for the book.

Additionally, the textbook highlights a well-arranged and attractive format which includes important definitions in the margin; highlights a “Chapter Learning” objective section; and in the text a “Check your Knowledge” and a “Debate” sections spread recurrently throughout the chapter. The bright color pictures and illustrations aid in stimulating attentiveness to the subject, while “A Case in Point” stresses specific discussions and promotes critical thinking skills. Tables and charts appear throughout the text for back up. The three categories a student looks for in every chapter are “What Do We Study,” “How Do We Apply It?” which leads to the student into the “Critical Thinking” process that the book emphasizes. Furthermore, this textbook serves as great tool for collegiate classes as well as a superb resource for further research on the many subtopics on both the undergraduate and graduate collegiate levels. If I were to teach this subject, I would be sure to use this book!!

5.0 out of 5 starsInternational Relations, Brief Edition, is in some ways even better than the full edition!!
By Susan K. Ugoji on February 4, 2013
Format: Paperback
This textbook is written in a peaceful, yet progressive tone that encourages the reader to "build a more prosperous and stable work" (p. 13). There is also much advice about how to study and how the authors view the subject. Additionally, although the book is addressed to "the new generaltion of sudents who have unprecedented access to global information yet lack the background to fully understand it," this version eliminates some of the long-windedness of most full version textbooks and presents a more pictorial view of the sjubect with many new aids for teachers that the full version does not provide. Terminology used is excellent and many examples of the large and small countires, i.e., China, Germany, England, Russia, the United States, as well as Finland, Morocco, Libya, Sweden, etc., are used in the text. The extra work put into this version is in some ways even better than the larger version.

5.0 out of 5 starsNICELY WRITTEN AND DESIGNED
By D. Peck on October 26, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Some textbooks are written and designed poorly, but this one was done amazingly well. The only improvement would be better appendix for referencing some information. This is also a textbook done by Oxford University Press and not one of those textbook mill pieces of trash that Pearson makes. Educators should stop buying Pearson and find better books like this one!
