Reviews'Global Politics: A New Introduction explodes the tired axioms, sloppy analogies, common assumptions, and conventional wisdoms of International Relations. This collection, unlike any other, asks all the right questions, troubles the easy answers, and provides a common intellectual stategy for tackling the most pressing global issues of today.' - James Der Derian, Professor of International Studies, Brown University 'One of the freshest, most engaging texts on international politics I've read in ages! ... Jenny Edkins and Maja Zehfuss have done the almost impossible - created a text that is globally aware, conceptually rich AND positively engaging. I can imagine students (and their professors) plunging into these enticing questions, making surprising connections between the cases, testing and refining proposed answers and coming up with fresh insights of their own.' - Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, USA, and author of Globalization and Militarism 'Global Politics: A New Introduction is without doubt an outstanding textbook that will revolutionise the way in which IR is taught. It meets the demands of enquiring minds who all too often come to study IR only to be frustrated and distracted by the parochialism of intra-disciplinary squabbles. The question-based approach is a stunning innovation that opens up the field of IR: overall a teaching and learning aid worthy of its title.' - Nick Vaughan-Williams, University of Exeter, UK 'This text takes students on an important intellectual journey ... it offers a fresh perspective with a different purpose, especially in its focus on political questions. The chapters are of a high standard written by scholars with established reputations for critical-creative thought.' - David Campbell, Durham University, UK ' A ver y good text that deals with current concerns in an engaging way. The conceptual depth of the chapters is sometimes really wonderful. Because of the range of authors and the organization of each chapter, it presents many theoretical and ideological points of view.' - Mary Ann Tetreault, Una Chapman Cox Distinguished Professor of International Affairs, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas, 'Global Politics: A New Introductionexplodes the tired axioms, sloppy analogies, common assumptions, and conventional wisdoms of International Relations.

The generous provision of asides in special boxes and marginal notes helps to bring out the mutual relevance of the chapters, as case studies within the broader discipline of global political studies. The standard structure makes great intuitive sense. Students will be able to follow the discussion and navigate the text with ease. It is refreshing to see such an attempt to improve clarity and prompt further reading without resorting to crude oversimplification and jargon.' - James Wakefield, e-International Relations, March 2012 'Global Politics: A New Introduction explodes the tired axioms, sloppy analogies, common assumptions, and conventional wisdoms of International Relations.

The skill to engage in thoughtful intellectual interrogation while still making it accessible to neophytes (without dumbing it down) is very rare, and Edkins and Zehfuss need to be congratulated for pulling it off with aplomb.' - Emilian Kavalski, University of Western Sydney, Political Studies Review, Vol 10:3, Sept. 2012, 'The greater depth and tighter focus means that authors can explain special controversies in a genuinely interesting way without becoming side-tracked by raw theory or reductive historical examples.
