The new chapter 25 on Global Health is a timely, comprehensive introduction to a complex issue of highest importance, well-written and with impressive empirical evidence * Associate Professor Jens Ladefoged Mortenson, University of Copenhagen *
After several decades, this textbook is still the most relevant on the market. I consider it to be an organic and constantly evolving source of knowledge and reflection about and within globalization simultaneously. It is simply the pillar stone of the IR undergraduate classroom globally today * Erika Svedberg, Senior Lecturer, Malmo University *
