Kegley is an excellent, brief introduction to international relations. The research is relatively current, the material is easily accessible and comprehensible to students, and the layout is well organized, clear, speaks to contemporary debates within the field, and utilizes well-thought-out pedagogical tools. It is a well-written and researched introductory textbook that presents the topic of international relations in an exciting and dynamic fashion.? ?This text compares very favorably to the ones I have used in the past. In fact, it is richer in several ways, including the discussion on security and warfare.
