A Matter of Perspective: Teaching International Relations in the Middle East
Burns, Sean
Journal of General Education, v63 n2-3 p161-183 2014
In this article, the author looks at several popular international relations textbooks in light of his experience teaching students in the Middle East. He finds that, for their many strengths, most of the books lack some key features that would make them more useful for students abroad.
