Beyond Soccer: International Relations and Politics as Seen through the Beautiful Game provides students with a new and innovative way to learn about political science and international relations. It uses soccer players, officials, fans, and organizations to teach political science concepts--such as geopolitics, discourses, and sovereignty--and IR theories--including realism, liberalism, and feminism. This text also incorporates three common soccer discourses to highlight the possibilities of soccer as a tool for unity and social change, as a defender of established power, and as simultaneously a mechanism used by established power and an engine for social resistance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith exercises, discussion questions, and keywords included in each chapter, Beyond Soccer is a worthwhile and accessible educational tool.
