please seniors. guide me regarding the grey areas of international relations..... which areas should be given priority? please mention them in decending order....

It is my second attempt so I am consulting too many books as I am already done with basics.
If want to read local books: Go for IR by Ikram Rabbani published by JWT
If you want to study from foreign books: I am consulting these 3:
1- Parakash chandar (easily available in hard form)
2- Joshua Goldstien (Pdf easily available and I have posted it on forum)
3- Globalization of world politics (Pdf available online)

Combine JWT with Joshua Goldstien. It is best combination. Ikram's book is according to syllabus but J.G book is a must have.

I have divided International Relations into two part i.e., static and dynamic. Paper I is the static part and Paper II is mostly dynamic. Paper I is foundational work of IR which includes an introduction, theory, political economy and other fundamental concepts while Paper II is the application of the static part, and questions of Paper II cannot be answered without a sound understanding of the static part.
I have found following books very helpful for Paper I:
1) Global Politics, Andrew Heywood.
This book is the most basic book of IR. Even the simplest terms such as state and politics are defined in the margins. Moreover, it has the best introduction to Global Politics. Please find the pdf in the link below:

2) Books that contain articles by different authors such as:
Essential Readings in World Politics, Karen Mingst
Globalization of World Politics, John Baylis
Read relative parts only.
3) Perspectives on International Relations: Power, Institutions, Ideas
This book also contains basic concepts; however, it is more advanced than Global Politics by Andrew Heywood.

Finally, I believe reading scholastic articles and keeping up on the news from various different publishers is the best way to stay informed on current situations (Paper II). I am collecting scholistic articles, and I will share them in future.
