Description
Introduction to Global Politics, Second Edition, brings together an expert team of international scholars to provide students with a current, engaging, and non-U.S. perspective on global politics. It shows students how to analyze global political events using theoretical approaches--both mainstream and alternative--and emphasizes non-state actors more than other textbooks. NEW TO THIS EDITION: * "Thinking about Global Politics" boxes at the end of each chapter give students the opportunity to develop their critical-thinking skills and apply their knowledge to activities dealing with real-world issues * "Engaging with the World" boxes suggest ways that students can get involved with activist organizations * Additional non-Western examples and a more even integration of critical approaches throughout provide more balanced coverage * A new chapter (7) on Nongovernmental Actors includes expanded coverage of NGOs, transnational social movements, corporations, celebrity diplomacy, and networks * Updates throughout examine recent events and trends including the Arab Spring, the rise of China, and the continuing effects of the global economic crisis * New case studies offer in-depth looks at sexual violence, cyber-terrorism, and more PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES: * "Global Perspective" essays: Included in every chapter, these essays open windows onto other parts of the world, showing how other countries and world organizations perceive and manage global politics * "Theory in Practice" essays: Demonstrating the explanatory power of theories in global politics, these essays examine real-world scenarios using a variety of theoretical lenses * "Case Study" essays: These boxed essays delve into timely and teachable moments from world events, providing students with more in-depth analyses of specific topics * "What's Your Worldview?" critical-thinking questions: Short, critical-thinking questions in every chapter challenge students to develop their own, more well-informed ideas about global actors and issues SUPPORT PACKAGE: An Instructor's Resource Manual with Test-Item File--available on CD or online-- offers chapter objectives, detailed chapter outlines, lecture suggestions and activities, discussion questions, video and web resources, and more than 1,400 test items, including multiple-choice, short-answer, and essay questions.
