“This time-tested text not only provides clear, up-to-date examinations of the main international relations perspectives, it also explains their roots. The sixth edition adds chapters on the discipline’s intellectual antecedents, covering the Romans, the Enlightenment, and more, entrenching its spot as the field’s go-to survey.”

Michael N. Jacobs, Gordon College

“The best International relations theory text on the market. In depth, thorough, and well written…. I also like the new chapters on the historical and philosophical underpinnings in each theory/paradigm. The best edition yet.”

Tobias Lanz, Tennessee State University

“An excellent overview of international relations. It stands out for its interpretive stance, and in linking theory to an intellectual tradition that predates IR.”

Shiera Malik, DePaul University

“It is as close to a can’t-miss as one can get in the textbook arena.”

Chistopher J. Fettweis, Tulane University

“It offers a good balance between history and contemporary theories, as well as between security and non-security issues.”

John Miglietta, Tennessee State University
