In early summer of 2012, I was given a choice: choose an introductory International Relations class with a professor who assigns the university's preferred text, Frieden's World Politics, or a professor who assigned a less well-known, less commonly-assigned text: Kinsella's World Politics. I am glad I made the right decision. Kinsella's World Politics: The Menu for Choice provides clear, concise chapters that tell you everything you need to know about the way states operate and interact with each other on a global stage. Additionally, Kinsella's World Politics is one of the few texts I have come across that discusses the perspectives of the Marxist (here, admittedly somewhat perjoratively, called "Radical") school of thought on International Relations, rather than simply addressing Realism and Liberalism. This is a book that addresses nearly every possible side of any given issue it brings up. While the book features a number of informative (and often iconic) charts and graphs to illustrate its various points, these never overshadow the text in terms of their importance.I would highly recommend this to both educators and beginning students as an accessible, easy-to-read, and above all informative and thought-provoking introductory text on world politics. 4/5 stars.
I found this to be a great foundational textbook—clearly laid out and easy to follow, it takes you through the basic layout of political science theory as relates to world politics. I found the case studies appropriate and well explained. The "menu" analogy is not always easy to sustain, but as an introductory text I think it works very well to help conceptualize various theories.I purchased the kindle edition, by the way.
One of the worst textbooks I've had to purchase thus far. Kinsella's orientalist lens shapes how he depicts the East and the rest of the world. I felt like I was tuning into FOX News every time I had to read a chapter.
This is the first time that I want to write a review for the textbook that I purchased on . Compared to other used book price, I decided to purchase a new condition from the . When I get the package, I found the package has not been completed unsealed at the bottom side. Then I opened the book and found that at least one page has small part missing and dark spots. Cover shows degree of wear. I won't be that confident any more to believe the textbook condition from .com.
Good buy. Not much marking within the text. The covers were solid. No pages were missing. I would recommend this service.
