Ariene Caloia, third-year politics student, Royal Holloway, University of London The Globalization of World Politics is one of the most commercially successful textbooks published by Oxford University Press, and with even a quick flick through it is not difficult to see why. It aims to combine history, theory, structure and process with contemporary international issues, and it does so in a way that is clearly presented. This is an ideal text for students who are new to the subject, but it also remains a key resource as students continue in their studies.
Although the book's aim is introductory, its breadth and depth make it a worthwhile investment.
