Very Interesting! Great Collection Of Historical Tracks
| Customer Rating: | Viotti and Kauppi take a slightly sympathetic view toward neo-conservative "realism" theory in another volume "International Relations Theory". This is a much better overview of the soft-science of IR and the history of IR across a variety of historical tracks. It will be a bookshelf keeper for me for the next 10 years.
An excellent overview and quick resource. Not too dense; filled with plenty of useful references in one volume. |
This book didn't have to be this difficult
| Customer Rating: | I am a joint law student/international affairs masters student. Surprisingly, after a year and a half of law school, I have never had a textbook as difficult to read and understand as this one. The authors take complicated ideas and make them even more complex.
It is almost as if the authors are competing with the experts in IR they include in this book, trying to see who can use more obscure words and incomprehensible sentences.
Reading this book, I keep telling myself, I could write this sentence or that sentence clearer. The authors should fire their current editor for the fourth edition and hire someone who is fluent in English, not technobabble.
The Glossary is sparse and the index is lacking many key ideas and phrases discussed in the textbook.
Professors, if you want your students to truly understand IR, pick another book which explains IR theory more clearly and without such convoluted jargon.
Terrible book. |
A Decent Overview
| Customer Rating: | | This text seeks to combine a standard IR Theory reader with a IR theory general text. In its first endevor, this book excels. The texts chosen are from among the leaders of thier fields and are summerized clearly and cogently by the editors. In its second task, however, this book fails quite notably. The text written by the authors regarding Realism, Pluralism, and Globalism is poorly written and to broad to be of much use, although thier description of realism is far better than thier description of the others. I would reccomend this book only because of the excellent collection of articles found within. For a general IR theory text, I would look elsewhere. |
An Excellent Graduate Level Textbook
| Customer Rating: | | Kauppi and Viotti's work gives a comprehensive comparison between the contending theories of International Relations. Each section is followed by key readings which helps clear any misunderstanding and introduces to the student some of the finest texts supporting each perspective. Truly informative, great book. Recommended to Political Science graduate students everywhere. |
Basic about realism, pluralism, globalism
| Customer Rating: | | A very good comparative analysis of the international relations theory. The authors first introduce each theory and briefly characterize it, describe characteristic authors and explain the advantages and disadvantages of realists, pluralist and globalist. Following each brief review of a theory are a number of essays of typical authors. I personally used this book to prepare for my pre-exams in political science and there's nothing that comes close to it |
