Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
A comprehensive and accessible introduction to international relations theories with a unique emphasis on positioning IR theories within their social, political, and historical contexts to help students fully understand IR theories and their influence.
A comprehensive first introduction to international relations theories which encourages students to fully understand the purpose and function of IR theory. Readers are introduced to each IR theory and asked to consider the social, political, and historical context within which the theory emerged. Pedagogical features such as 'Think Critically' and 'Twisting the lens' provide the tools students need to apply IR theory to global issues.
A comprehensive introduction to mainstream IR theories and critical approaches to IR, explained within the social, political, and historical context, to demonstrate that theory does not emerge from a vacuum.
An expert authorial voice guides students through the required material in a gentle, reassuring pace, with an accessible and concise style, without shying away from the more complex theories and concepts.
A clear and consistent structure and pedagogical framework of key terms, key concepts, key events, and key thinkers, to enable students with little or no knowledge of theory to develop a strong theoretical understanding, supported by easy-to-navigate points of reference.
Critical reflection on new theoretical knowledge is encouraged by 'Think Critically' questions that are supported by hints and tips to guide avenues of thought.
Opportunities to apply theory to today's events and issues and to practise using theory to analyse and interpret important societal concerns
Available as an e-book enhanced with self-assessment activities and multi-media content to offer a fully immersive experience and extra learning support
This masterful textbook sets a new benchmark for introductions to International Relations theory. Lawler combines a comprehensive and insightful engagement with a broad spectrum of theories with a strong pedagogical sensibility. He works out from students lived experiences to introduce not only the importance of theory but also the nuances of particular theories, paying close attention to the historical contexts in which they emerged. In doing so, Lawler has crafted a work that will build student understanding and prompt established scholars to think afresh about the theories they teach, employ, and debate. It is an introduction without peers.
