5 out of 5 stars The Bible of IR!   July 7, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Well, that's how we call it in our department as we always go back into this textbook whenever we need some guidance in our studies. It is the most useful textbook next to the Penguin Dictionary of IR. Recommended buy for all International Relations students out there.

This collection is an easy to understand book yet it is full of detail. The onloine suport provided with the book provides each chapter with a revision guide and mock questions. The book covers a range of debates that are imporntant in international politics inlcuding theories on security, modern international order and diplomacy. It is a must for anyone beginning International relations.

Proved a valuable source of introduction and some further information whilst undertaking an MA in International Relations. Well written, easy to use would recommend to students in this field.




5 out of 5 stars Excellent Intro to World History and politics   January 21, 2005
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

An excellent introduction to recent world history and international relations. Bayliss and Smith tackle the key themes in contemporary international relations with skill and a questioning prose which encourages readers to develop their own viewpoint. I first read this as an Undergraduate in International Relations but it will be of interest to anyone with questions about recent world history, the current international order or even those who enjoy Tom Clancy novels!


5 out of 5 stars A first rate introduction   July 29, 2004
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

This has to be one of the most useful and helpful textbooks I have yet bought. As an introduction to international relations, it presents information in a clear, concise way making it easy to find what you're looking for. I thoroughly reccommend this book to first year students studying international relations or to anyone with an interst in the workings of the world around around them.
