"I really think that [THE GLOBAL FUTURE] is head and shoulders above others I have examined for the intended audience. The authors--and I am familiar with Kegley's work dating back 25 years--do an outstanding job of making unfamiliar subject matter accessible and comprehensible for student texts." "A clear, concise approach to explaining the complexities of the world political system for beginning and intermediate students." "[Compared to its competitors, Kegley is a] clearer, better melding of Theory and Practice; the style seems more accessible." "[Compared to Goldstein, Kegley has] . . . [m]ore thorough coverage of actors in global system; more thorough discussion of International Political Economy." "I believe each chapter is clear, accessible by students of all levels, and logically organized. In fact, if I were to write a textbook (which I have thought about) I would not change anything relating to organization or logic."  Be the first to write a customer review
