Recenzii

"Introducing International Relations is a tour de force fast-paced and entertaining survey of the major theories and issues of international politics. It is destined to become widely viewed as the best IR textbook on the market."
  • Marcus Holmes, College of William and Mary, USA
"In a clear and engaging fashion, Sharp presents the diplomatic framework of understanding international relations by mapping out the field in a fair-minded, nuanced, and straightforward manner. A splendid teaching tool!"
  • Zhang Qingmin, Peking University, China
"In a refreshing conversational style, Paul Sharp, the diplomatic scholar,　has composed an unusual core textbook that　bridges the gap between diplomacy and international relations for the undergraduate.　Assuming the reader knows little, Sharp digs into essential concepts, offers definitions, contemporary examples in case studies and points to further reading. Clearly a teacher, as well as a scholar, Sharp’s　original　approach　should meet the pedagogical demands of professors and help lower division college students get a grip on the human and systemic forces at work in our increasingly messy world."
  • Donna Marie Oglesby, former diplomat (U.S.F.S. ret.) and educator at Eckerd College, USA
"Paul Sharp has the rare ability to make International Relations theory readable, relevant and relatable. This textbook is a must-have for scholars and students alike, whatever their geopolitical interest or paradigmatic inclination."
  • Yolanda Kemp Spies, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
"This highly accessible textbook superbly synthesizes and advances current debates about whether and how diplomacy matters in the construction of world politics. Viewing the International Relations field through a diplomatic lens, Paul Sharp yields fascinating, and often challenging, insights about both theory and practice. In an appealing personal tone, Sharp’s book will set students thinking and debating robustly amongst themselves."
  • Geoffrey Wiseman, Australian National University, Australia
"An excellent foundation for new entrants to the study of international relations. It provides excellent surveys of the leading approaches to International Relations. It also steers readers' attention to key questions that will help spark their own analyses of the problems of the discipline and the world."
  • Adam Quinn, University of Birmingham, UK
