Preface
We have tried in this new edition of The Globalization of World Politics to follow much the same format as the previous three editions which have proved so successful. However, a number of improvements have been made. Oxford University Press commissioned over twenty reviews of the third edition, and we gained enormously from their comments. They told us what worked and what didnt. We have also been contacted by many of the teachers of International Relations around the world who use the book on a regular basis. Together, all of these comments have helped us identify a number of additional areas that should be covered. To make sure we didnt make the book even longer than it already was, we cut out some chapters that had appeared in the third edition, and also combined some of the history chapters. In their place we added new chapters on the changing character of war, international ethics, and human security. Based on reviewers comments, we also decided to commission a new chapter on gender and move it to the section on Structures and Processes to highlight the role of gender in structuring world politics.
As the book has been taken up as a major text in more and more countries we have become increasingly aware of the danger of what might be described as an Anglo-Saxon approach to international relations. For this reason, in the new edition, authors have been asked to provide as wide a range of examples from around the world as possible. We have also introduced case studies which focus, in particular, on Africa and the developing world.
Readers who have used previous editions will notice that the two original editors have been joined by Patricia Owens. Patricia had been heavily involved in previous editions and we all agreed that she should become a full editor of the book.
Acknowledgements
Once again we would like to thank all those who sent us or Oxford University Press comments on the strengths and weaknesses of the third edition. We hope that those who have gone to the trouble of contributing to the review process will see many of the changes they recommended reflected in the new edition. We would also like to thank our contributors for being so helpful in responding yet again to our detailed requests for revisions to the chapters that had appeared in the third volume. We would also like to thank those whose chapters appeared in the previous editions but which do not appear in the fourth edition. Thank you for your understanding.
However, our most sincere thanks must go to Sheena Chestnut, who has done a truly splendid job in helping us with the editorial work with this new edition. She has been untiring, extremely efficient, and conscientious in the work she has done. The editorial burden on her shoulders has been very heavy at times, especially as she has had to contend also with examinations at Oxford. However, she has never complained and always completed the tasks we have given her with great dedication. The book is significantly better as a result of her contribution. The editors would also like yet again to thank Ruth Anderson of Oxford University Press for her professionalism, support, and advice during the production of this new edition, and Sarah Bury for her excellent copy-editing.
John Baylis, Steve Smith, and Patricia Owens
