What do teachers say about this resource? (9271)

It explained [global politics] carefully and followed the spec to the letter, making it useful both for 2022 and future years ... The teachers introduction was informative and made wise suggestions ... It helped me help them, particularly vis-a-vis revision and use of keywords and definitions ... The text was broken up with captioned illustrations and talking points ... Buy it! It will save you a lot of time and prevent you reinventing the wheel ... it introduced all the main points in a clear order ... I also liked the boxes for new definitions eg. pg. 2 use of side-headings - and the visual hints added a touch of lightness

What do teachers say about this resource? (9146)

A very useful, readable, and worthwhile resource... benefits from its use of current and tangible examples... well written with very good supporting and contemporary examples which is accessible to students of all abilities... Some very useful exam tips and talking points... Excellent grid showing advantages/ disadvantages of globalisation... For higher achieving students it has linkages with other units such as the section on humanitarian intervention.

What do teachers say about this resource? (9147)

A valuable resource which follows the three main strands of the specification. It has a clear structure and the examples are contemporary... a good alternative to the suggested text books... very readable... accessible but also written with high achievers able to be stretched and challenged.

What do teachers say about this resource? (9149)

Clearly structured and very contemporary - e.g. references the Salisbury poisoning of the Skripals... Will provide students and teachers with a clear insight into this part of the Global Politics course... written with clarity... Covers the course content coherently and systematically with the use of examples whilst giving a timeline of how power has changed over time but particularly since the end of the cold war.

What do teachers say about this resource? (9148)

A very well written and accessible resource which follows the Edexcel examination specification with clarity... keeps the reader focused... Gives very clear context to both the Human Rights and Environmental topic especially the area of international courts and law which, typically, are difficult for students to access. Examples are very useful and can be used as research topics for students.
