About this product
Product Information
In the current era we have the ability to wage global war, interact economically and culturally with any part of the world, and communicate with each other in real time. Our horizons are now global. Time and space have contracted. This text takes the change in our horizons as a key feature of modern international relations, examining how international politics and the relations between nations and states have become global politics. Rather than survey a large array of issues and theories, Spruyt provides students with particular "tools of the trade" and with different perspectives to understand given empirical puzzles. Each section of the book discusses key theories, which may be useful in understanding the issues in question, and then applies them to empirical cases in order to demonstrate how theory relates to practice. Case studies allow for both an historical and comparative approach.

Reviews
Global Horizons is a compelling volume for undergraduate audiences. Framed to elicit solutions to gripping global problems, readers will find themselves thinking critically, worrying about research design, and using sophisticated theoretical tools. Spruyt has written an outstanding text that leaves students informed and motivated, while at the same time providing splendidly balanced coverage of multiple issue areas and approaches. --Colin Elman, Maxwell School, Syracuse University International relations instructors who seek to provide students with a timely mix of focused theories and engaging case studies will embrace Global Horizons. Spruyt vividly animates the most important analytical debates in the field and uses them to illuminate classic historical episodes as well as critically important contemporary issues such as the US-led invasion of Iraq, global energy security, and international efforts to regulate climate change. --Alexander Cooley, Barnard College, Columbia University International relations theory is vast and complex, and yet if explained clearly and systematically it can be an invaluable aid that enables students to gain a sophisticated grasp of the forces shaping the world. In this engaging, lucid, smart, and comprehensive book, Spruyt makes theory--the 'tools of the trade'--come alive. Global Horizons is the text for which many of us who teach IR have been waiting: instructors and students who read it will reap rich intellectual rewards. --Rajan Menon, Lehigh University, "International relations theory is vast and complex and yet, if explained clearly and systematically, it can be an invaluable aid that enables students to gain a sophisticated grasp of the forces shaping the world.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
