For I.R. one good book is International Political/ Economic Relations by Sarfraz A. Akhund. Moreover, you also have to prepare for Current issues from some good source.

Remember me in your prayers!

I have bought and skimmed through all of the books mentioned by members here and I must say that the best book so far has been the [B]"International Relations by Joshua S. Goldstein & Jon C. Pevehouse"[/B]. This book is in easy to read and supplements each topic with real life examples. I would highly suggest everyone to get this book and this should be sufficient for IR prep

International Relations by Dr.Safdar Mehmood

Half the 2012 IR paper was current affairs. Or rather war and diplomacy in the unipolar world.

For the Cold War, the two World Wars, the inter-war period, NAM, NATO-WARSAW, etc, I used Palmer and Perkins and Sultan Khan. The latter also covers most of the theoretical aspects of IR. But if you read different newsmagazines and follow the news regularly, the 'current affairs' part of the IR paper won't be too difficult for you.

Prakash Chandar is an informative book but it's full of grammatical errors.

[U]For book suggestions[/U]
i would suggest following books
1.International Relations by Palmer and Perkins(Rs.300 price of pirated copy)
OR
Understanding International relations by chris,you can download its soft copy from the following link
[url]http://www.google.com.pk/url?sa=t&rc...55JINemObGkvjw[/url]
And for South Asia
Politics of nuclear war in south Asia by Bhumitra Chakma(fpsc suggested)
[U]NOTE[/U]
as a student of international relations you can not afford to limit yourself to the books materials only ,you must keep yourself updated with the latest developments in the world through TV, Dawn newspaper, websites of institute of strategic studies Islamabad([url]http://issi.org.pk/[/url]), diplomat magazine([url]http://thediplomat.com/[/url])
Wikipedia and Google for miscellaneous search

The best international relation book is
International Relations (10th Edition)
by Joshua S. Goldstein (Author), Jon C. Pevehouse (Author)

ISBN-13: 978-0205059577 ISBN-10: 0205059570 Edition: 10th

The book is divided into two parts: International Security and International Political Economy. The chapters in these parts introduce the reader to such concepts as power politics, international law, trade, the environment, and the North-South Gap, to name a few. It makes analytical power strong by giving the answers to analytical questions, which is also helpful for current affairs paper..it tells better how to attempt the papar and which words one should use while solving the paper.

Thanks

I have started a new thread on the I.R's page. The books are mention here on this thread maybe about old syllabus. As the FPSc has changed the syllabus, we need books according to new outlines.
Seniors, kindly help us!
