Global Politics
Autor Ben Whitham, Andrew Heywooden Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mar 2023
Recomandăm această a treia ediție a lucrării Global Politics studenților de la facultățile de științe politice și relații internaționale, precum și cercetătorilor care urmăresc o perspectivă actualizată asupra ordinii mondiale. Această revizuire majoră semnată de Andrew Heywood și Ben Whitham răspunde necesității de a decoloniza curriculumul academic, adoptând o perspectivă mai puțin eurocentrică și integrând concepte din confucianism și studii postcoloniale. Cartea extinde cadrul propus de The Globalization of World Politics de John Baylis, aducând în prim-plan analize asupra impactului pandemiei globale și a fenomenului dezinformării într-o lume „post-adevăr”. Structura volumului este una progresivă, pornind de la fundamentele istorice și teoriile tradiționale (realism, liberalism), către un capitol nou de teorii critice care explorează intersecționalitatea și constructivismul. Remarcăm echilibrul dintre teorie și practică: cele 22 de capitole nu se limitează la concepte abstracte, ci aplică instrumentele de analiză pe studii de caz concrete, de la Primăvara Arabă la criza migrației din Europa. Secțiunile „Global actors” oferă claritate asupra rolului unor entități diverse, precum mișcarea Black Lives Matter sau Fondul Monetar Internațional, facilitând înțelegerea modului în care puterea este exercitată în secolul XXI. Prin includerea unor teme precum politica spațiului cosmic și Antropocenul, autorii pregătesc cititorul pentru provocările viitoare ale guvernării globale.

Descriere
Featuring a new chapter on critical theories, and revised to take a less Eurocentric approach to concepts and case studies, this new edition allows you to tackle global politics' important concepts, debates and problems:
-How can theories help us to understand the politics of a global pandemic?
-Do we live in a 'post-truth' world of 'fake news' and disinformation?
-Does international aid work?
-Does the United States remain a global hegemon?
-What is the Anthropocene and how does it shape global politics?
-Are global politics constrained by a 'North-South' divide?
-What are the possible futures of global politics - and the politics of outer space?
Delving into topics as diverse as anarchy, intersectionality, Confucianism, and neoconservatism, boxed features give you confidence in political analysis:
-Focus on: learn more about the global colour line or the tragedy of the commons
-Key figures: discuss the ideas of Hans Morgenthau, Frantz Fanon or bell hooks
-Debating: argue whether the United Nations are obsolete, or whether nuclear weapons promote peace
-Global politics in action: apply your learning to the migration crisis in Europe or the Arab Spring
-Approaches to: consider human rights or the Covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of realist, liberal, postcolonial, Marxist, feminist, constructivist and post-structuralist theory
-Global actors: understand the significance of Black Lives Matter, Amnesty International or the International Monetary Fund.
Spanning the development of global politics, from the early origins of globalization through to the return of multipolarity in the twenty-first century, this is an essential text for undergraduates studying global politics and international relations.

Recenzii
Global Politics is a clinical treatment of diverse themes and issues in global studies, international relations, and the vast array of cultural dynamics in a fast-changing world. The authors' interdisciplinary skills and unrelenting quest for excellence manifest in the demonstrated awareness of time and space. This book is an invaluable companion in the noble quest to transform our students into high-flying graduates and practitioners with proven intellectual acuities. I strongly recommend it to anyone passionate about training tomorrow's scholars, practitioners, and truly global citizens.
Among the many university textbooks on international relations, Global Politics by Andrew Heywood stands out for its clarity, readability and balance. This new edition with Ben Whitham has been considerably expanded and updated, taking into account new developments in global politics and the academic study of International Relations. Global Politics remains an ideal guide for students to navigate their way through the complexities and uncertainties of world affairs.
This is an exciting and comprehensive introduction to the study and practice of global politics. Heywood and Whitham have done a superb job updating the text so that the theories, concepts, topics, and recent events of global politics are clearly relevant to students. Pedagogically, they have managed to present the material in a way that facilitates understanding and critical thinking. In a crowded market, Global Politics clearly stands out as a textbook that has distinct advantages over the others.
The third edition of Global Politics is an impressive achievement. Managing to be both comprehensive and accessible, Heywood and Whitham thoroughly cover the key theoretical and empirical debates of the field, illustrating complex ideas with relevant examples and case studies, and taking account of the true globality of international politics. This is an essential textbook that will bring international relations to life, for students and teachers alike.
Global Politics provides an extensive and critical approach to the field. It marshals vignettes, comparative theoretical perspectives, and illustrations to apply the student to the implications of each chapter. It takes seriously postcolonial and critical theories that question the received wisdom of western scholars. As a result, it lays strong claim to being a truly global textbook for students of global politics.
Heywood and Whitham do an excellent job in this third edition of Global Politics. The text has been revised and updated to be far more thorough and truly global. It now has a much broader range of themes and debates, and focuses on a wide range of theories and current developments. With its well-illustrated text enriched with key concepts, thinkers, figures, introducing diverse approaches, global actors, case studies, and perspectives, it is much more than an introductory textbook of international relations. This new edition will undoubtedly be an important book, inspiring students all over the world to pursue further studies.
