"One of the best collections of essays on international relations theory currently available. Strongly recommended." - Michael N. Barnett, University of Minnesota, USA.
"The first edition worked extremely well with my students and the new text will work even better." - Richard Little, University of Bristol, UK
"An excellent collection, bringing together many of the most influential figures in international relations today. Combining rigour and accessibility, this book sets a new standard for texts in international relations theory." - Michael Williams, University of Ottawa, Canada.
"This is one of those rare books that contribute to both teaching and scholarship. The editors have assembled some of the discipline's leading scholars to produce a comprehensive and engaging overview of international relations theory. Three excellent new chapters, updated case studies, and helpful "seminal book" suggestions by authors enhance the second edition of this already strong collection." - William Wohlforth, Dartmouth University, USA.
"The editors once again draw us into a lively conversation among some of the most thoughtful IR theorists thinking and writing today, and they've done it in a way that we and our students can join in the conversation." - Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, USA.
"A superb book and invaluable teaching tool. It is unrivalled in providing an overview of both traditional and new approaches to IR theory and explaining the nuances of each - and the points of contestation among them - in an accessible way." - Christopher Layne, Texas A & M University, USA.
"The best single book introduction to international relations theory that is striking as much for its clarity as for its sophistication." - Amitav Acharya, American University, USA.
