Opis

The consequences of the rise of emerging powers like China and India is becoming the most important topic of debate in international studies. This book focuses on the impact of these changes on the way we study international politics: if international politics is changing, should we also change international studies?

Recenzje

'Overall, this is an excellent and thought-provoking book that addresses a fundamentally important topic. It should assist the development of international studies into a more comprehensive and practically useful discipline.' - Contemporary Southeast Asia
