Salam !

I have been looking for books to read for IR, and i have been nothing but confused with the recommendations.
Some recommend Goldstein some say Baylis.
Some refer to IR by Caravan Publishers.

I am looking for a good combination, a cocktail that covers all the topics.
Any and every help would be much appreciated.

Regards.

That book won't help with Structural Realism, offensive realism, or neoliberalism. It's a fantastic book but it'd be better if he/she read excerpts from the book on important topics like Elements of national power, Balance of power, etc.

Imo Globalization of world politics is probably the best book for beginners. It covers all the theories, and can be a good stepping stone from where on you can go and read the theories in detail.

Start with goldstein, keeping syllabus topics parallel. Then do net surfing and make your own notes.

Thanks for your input.
What do you say about combining Baylis with Goldstein? Wont that be enough to cover the whole syllabus without consulting any local books like Caravan etc?

Baylis plus Goldstein would be a good combination but you would still have to consult internet a lot, especially for part 2 of the syllabus. Imo internet would be a better resource than local books but if you find researching from different websites hard then taking help from local books isn't bad.
