Global Politics: A New Introduction, 3rd edition, edited by Jenny Edkins and Maja Zehfuss – forthcoming in December 2018.
The 3rd edition of Global Politics: A New Introduction continues to provide a completely original way of teaching and learning about world politics. The book engages directly with the issues in global politics that students are most interested in, helping them to understand the key questions and theories and also to develop a critical and inquiring perspective.
