      Book Description

      John T. Rourke's eighth edition of International Politics on the World Stage explores the dynamic world of politics as it swings into the new millennium. Current political research theory establishes a foundation. From this base, Rourke traces the growth of the international political system and uses current events to challenge students to decide where the trends are leading and where their best interests lie. The engaging style that has made this title a bestseller is combined for the first time in this edition with full-color photos and graphics. The Web site continues to be a strong component this time, featuring interactive exercises, important Web links, interactive maps, and more.

      1 out of 5 stars Cannot believe I was required to buy this book.......2006-09-17

      This book is terrible. Every chapter begins with at least one Shakespeare quote which leads one to wonder whether this man spends more time considering politics or indulging in sonnets. The book is structured to make international relations appear as Shakespearean dramas which becomes extremely annoying after the first five pages. The references are vague, many terms left undefined, and somehow beyond the condescending tone of the book he finds a way to make every sentence that actually contains important information structurally unbearable. If I did not have really smart friends who are majoring in International Affairs this book would convince me that such majors are a joke.

      1 out of 5 stars Cant say horrible...that title is already taken........2006-03-02

      This book is absolutely painful to read. If you have to purchase this book for class, be prepared for chapter 7, 10, & 11. These are the most painful chapters in the book. In these chapters it is very hard to follow the text (i.e. main points). Other students and I got migranes from trying to prepare notes for these chapters for a test. Just horrible.

      4 out of 5 stars An Appropriate World Politics Textbook.......2004-02-15

      Rourke covers topics using horizontal and vertical methods. He explaisn the nature of power relationships, non governmental organizations, intergovernmental organizations, and other political structural forms horizontally while explaining political happenings and characters vertically. His section on the nature and conduct of diplomacy is quite well done for a survey textbook. The level of articulation and the engagement of the reader makes this a good choice for a survey or introductory World Politics classroom. AP World History course instructors may also want to examine this book as it may fit well with high school students as well as undergraduates.

      2 out of 5 stars Very broad ... but very biased!.......2003-01-13

      Good book for an introduction to International Relations couse in terms of topics covered - but the author's bias is clearly leaning toward that of an idealist/globalist. Make sure you get a balanced perspective from the other side of the coin before taking this text as gospel.

      1 out of 5 stars Horrible!.......2003-01-09

      I took POLS 132 (International Relations) and my professor was John Rourke, the author of the book. He knows his stuff (he writes a new edition every year), but his lectures were horrible! Half of the students in lecture would never go, and the students who did attend class only went because he took attendence. He cannot teach. He rambles on and on in lecture and is frequently off-topic. This is reflected in his writing. Having the textbook as our only source was hard enough, not to mention having him as the professor for our class! Just save your time and money--stay away from this book. (And if you're a UConn student, don't take his classes.)

        Book Description

        This brief, basic introduction to world politics offers your students a sophisticated theoretical analysis of global politics supported by an up-to-date review of research in the field. This theoretical base is made accessible and interesting to students through the use of contemporary illustrations. As part of the ConnecText series, this edition makes extensive use of the growth of information technologies. ConnecText is a concept that invites the student to make a connection between the basic, necessarily static information in a text and the dynamic information available on the Internet. Students can access such things as maps, tables, biographies, and practice quizzes on the home page. Faculty can access lecture outlines, activity suggestions, and discussion questions. Carefully selected sites on the World Wide Web allow students and faculty the opportunity to explore developments as they occur in the world and to examine issues from a worldwide perspective.
