This comprehensive guide captures important trends in international relations (IR) pedagogy, paying particular attention to innovations in active learning and student engagement for the contemporary International Relations (IR) classroom.

This book is organized into three parts: IR course structures and goals; techniques and approaches to the classroom; and assessment and effectiveness. It is up-to-date with teaching practices highlighted by leading journals and conferences sponsored by the International Studies Association (ISA) and the American Political Science Association (APSA).

Collectively, the chapters contribute to continuing dialogues on pedagogy in the field and serve as a critical resource for faculty in IR, political science, and social science.

Edited by James M. Scott, University Professor and Chair, Department of Politics and Government, Illinois State University, Ralph G. Carter, Piper Professor of Political Science, Brandy Jolliff Scott, Lecturer, Department of Political Science, Texas Christian University and Jeffrey S. Lantis, Professor of Political Science, College of Wooster, US
