Summary: A concise text for the student of International Relations!
Review: The field of International Relations is vast and ever changing. This text by Drs. Baylis and Smith is clearly written, smartly organized, and as relevant as you can get for a field that has undulated in the time it has taken me to write this short review. I would recommend this text to any and all students in their graduate programs who need a text that will tie together the "loose ends" of their programs and form an invaluable reference guide for years to come. This text is especially useful for students in the United States in order to break out of the US-centric model of thought and be exposed to the prominent theorists and practitioners in the UK.

Summary: Great piece of academic work
Review: This book helped me understand my initial international relations module at college. It is concise, informative and provides detailed analysis of key issues, and sets out typologies on how best to understand international issues.
Rating:
Summary: Outstanding, clear written and comprehensive!
Review: This book is by far the best international politics textbook I have ever used. It covers a whole full range of issues concerning not only the basic stuff such as war and peace, but also modern days issues such as environmental problems and nationalism. A great book.

Summary: The best book in it's field.
Review: This is a book that all students of Intrnational Politics and International Relations should have on their shelves. Professors Smith and Baylis have managed to create the finest textbook ever written on the subject, it is put together in such a way that it is both easy to use and full of relavant in-depth information. Very highly recommended.

Summary: Excellent Overall for 200-level class
Review: Thoughtfully broken down into readable chapters by Baylis & Smith's cohorts at the University in Aberystwyth, this book will provide an excellent introduction to traditional perspectives on International Relations as well as more contemporary issues. It will remain especially useful for Social Science students due to its combination of clear and simple structure including key points, discussion/writing questions at the end of each chapter as well as useful bibligraphic suggestions for further reading. The only shortcoming is that it needs to be revised to include a more thorough analysis of recent events such as the anti-WTO movement and issues surrounding nation-building and failed states; updates that, I presume, are coming in the next edition. Overall, an extremely useful book.
