A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This exciting new introduction to world politics features a unique active learning approach that helps students better understand IR and includes current, 21st century topics often neglected in other texts.

Lauded by reviewers for its strong scholarship and excellent attention to theory, World Politics in the 21st Century, includes comprehensive coverage of current topics that are often neglected in other texts—topics such as human rights, women, and poverty, to name just a few. This unparalleled coverage, in addition to the text's unique active learning approach, make it a text that is truly for the 21st century and its students. Because today's students learn and think differently than in the past, the authors present an active learning approach that begins with the instructor. An Instructor's Edition includes all the active learning techniques, suggestions and guidance a professor will need to utilize this approach in class. The active learning approach continues in the book itself through the unique question/answer format of the text. Rather than the typical topic and subtopic headings, the text poses questions then answers those questions, providing a continuous learning device that focuses student reading. The active learning approach is extended through the use of fascinating, current “Case Studies” at the end of each chapter, which ask students to apply concepts and analyze real world situations ripped from the headlines. In offering students an approach that helps them better make sense of the complexity of international relations and in providing them unique coverage of important issues in today's world, this is a text that is sure to engage students in the study of IR.
