Format:Taschenbuch
From one of the high priests of the rational choice cult comes a simplistic and obvious book. Foreign policy decision makers are motivated to keep their jobs! Really? Gee, we never knew that Bruce. Terrible book!

Great Politics Book
22. August 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Ignore the previous bad reviews for this textbook. It does a very good job of presenting the fundementals of International Politics and discussing the different schools of thought on the subject (this book is a believer in the "all politicians strive to keep themselves in power" theory, which is a contrast to other international political theories)
The book also covers all of the basic game theory over the first 10-12 chapters that you will need to know for most politics courses.

Self-Righteous
5. Februar 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Throughout this text, Bueno de Mesquita tries to convey to the reader his belief that all wars and conflicts in the history of the world could have been avoided if only the decision makers had read his book. And through it all, he manages to project a sense of self-righteous superiority that I have never before seen in a book designed to be a textbook. I personally think that his theory has merit, but it is not the cure-all for international politics. He uses many examples, some of which are good and some of which are bad. An example of the latter is found in the chapter on preferences (9) when he spends about 10 pages on an inane and contrived example concerning a soda machine and the choices involved. Stick with examples involving the subject of the book! Also, he likes to refer to himself a lot. There is one instance in which he refers to his own past works 5 times in 2 consecutive paragraphs. This so annoyed me that I began highlighting each incident of self-citation, which generally occurs on every page.
That being said, if you're interested in BDM's strategic theory of International Relations, this is a good book, but if you want a more objective and comprehensive explanation of various IR theories, I would go with something else.

Book Review
15. November 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This book uses terrible examples and does a very poor job of explaining concepts. The book throws tons of theories at readers however none ever take human nature into account. The book is dry and revolves around Mezquita's computer models and how he wants to predict future events. Very self-righteous and pretty biased. All in all a really bad text book.
