Read for a class. This was a great little introduction to international politics. It is substantial enough to give a good grasp of concepts, but written for a novice audience. After presenting ideas, it employs case studies to show their working out in practical terms. Recommended for those with an interest in international affairs/relations.
It's a good book, but I think it's no the best work of Nye. I'd rather read "Power and interdependence".
Joe Nye is essential reading for students of International Relations. This is a very accessible book and is worth the money for cash strapped students of war.
