Everybody knows what an important book this is for the student of International Relations and it is considered one of the basic texts for all the right reasons. Giving one a glimpse of the evolution of the international system over the ages to explaining nearly all the relevant phenomenon through the lens of different theoretical paradigms, it keeps the much celebrated 'globalization' central to its discussions. Specific chapters have been written by well known authors of the field and ever sinc...more

This textbook is a must for any International Relations student. As a newbie, it gives us the basic structure that we can use to comprehend the basics of IR, as well as the contemporary issues at hand.
One of my professors said that the book was so good, as each chapter was written by a renowned scholar of that field, that he fears students might just use that textbook for references and ideas.

4.5/5.
A nice and gripping starter to theories of Internstional Relations. The books is divided into three sections.
The first section traces the evolution of current international orders glancing through the prevailing systems in world history. It is supplemented by the theoretical tools used to understand the approaches towards the subject.
The second sections deals with various actors and their roles in the larger game of international politics. I specially enjoyed the chapter on war and feminis...more

This is the textbook I chose for my upcoming intro to IR course, which I'm teaching for the first time. So it'll be listed as 'reading' for at least the next three months...

First, let's talk about what John Baylis' 'The Globalization of World Politics' is: a sweeping, relatively comprehensive overview of the field of International Relations. With five chapters on world history, another 7 on the major theoretical schools of IR, and then another 15+ chapters on various topics of importance such as international ethics, modern warfare, peacekeeping and diplomacy, international political economy, and others. Suffice to say, GWP is a massive, sprawling look at just abou...more

One of the best introductions to International Relations and global politics. For students (or readers) who are looking for an informative text on World Politics, this textbook is comprehensible and filled with examples. However, like many Western published textbooks, much of the content swings to Western culture and society. Understandably so, as the history of academic international relations were popularized by the West, however, for an introduction to politics and comparative politics, the t...more

One of the best overviews of international politics and globalization. A great introductory book with all the essentials, from political international theory to bureaucratic issues. Also very pedagogic with examples and a nice structure.
Lacked critical reflection by the authors, but this is understandable since it's just a basic-level introduction.

Very informative. I plan to keep this book as a reference. The prose, though difficult, was well done and the divisions between topics were orderly and helpful. There are even nice key point boxes at the end of sections to help review in a pinch.

Reading this book as part of a short course entitled TheCauses of War. It has views on many aspects of International Politics. Particularly interesting are the definitions of war as seen from differing perspectives. The book also has online links for case studies of contemporary conflicts.

I'd say, it is a bible for the modern international politics: theory and practice both (for beginners only).

“For realists, the state is the main actor and sovereignty is its distinguishing trait. The meaning of the sovereign state is inextricably bound up with the use of force. In terms of its internal dimension, to illustrate this relationship between violence and the state we need to look no further than Max Weber’s famous definition of the state as ‘the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory’(M. J. Smith 1986: 23).3 Within this territorial space, sovereignty means that the state has supreme authority to make and enforce laws. This is the basis of the unwritten contract between individuals and the state. According to Hobbes, for example, we trade our liberty in return for a guarantee of security. Once security has been established, civil society can begin. But in the absence of security, there can be no art, no culture, no society. The first move, then, for the realist is to organize power domestically. Only after power has been organized, can community begin.” — 1 likes
