Celebrating its landmark tenth edition, The Globalization of World Politics remains the best-selling and most comprehensive introductory text to international relations.

Fully updated and expanded, this milestone edition continues to tackle the most urgent and complex challenges that dominate international relations today. Written by leading scholars in the field, The Globalization of World Politics now includes brand new chapters on ecological thought in international relations, the rise of the modern international order, and Marxist theories of international relations.

Tailored pedagogical features are seamlessly woven throughout the text and are designed to help students to cultivate analytical thinking and bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice. Interactive activities such as multiple-choice questions and the 'Opposing Opinions' feature foster active learning, enhancing students’ understanding of key concepts and debates.
