Product Description
by Stephen McGlinchey (Author), Rosie Walters (Author), Christian Scheinpflug (Author)
This book is designed as a foundational entry point to International Relations theory. As a beginner's guide, it has been structured to condense the most important information into the smallest space and present that information in the most accessible manner.
The first half of the book covers the established theories that are most commonly taught in undergraduate programmes. The book then expands to present emerging approaches and offer wider perspectives. Each chapter sets out the basics of a theory whilst also applying it to a real-world event or issue. This format creates a lively, readable and relevant guide that will help students to see not only what theories are, but why they matter.
Unlike most other textbooks, there are no boxes, charts, pictures or exercises included. The philosophy underpinning this book is that these things can be a distraction. This book, like others in the E-IR Foundations series, is designed to capture attention with an engaging narrative.
