This is a required book for a course I'm taking. The book is OK, but that is my opinion of most of these textbooks because I am a straight to the point type of person. I don't need all the extra big words. Just give me the meat. The book came in great condition and has a lot of good international relations topics.
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.
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.
"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
I just don't understand why the price for a book change so sharply and so suddently. Sometimes, It might be 3 or 4 times the original price. But thankfully, I got it at the expected price and one of my friends brought it to me to Beijing
