If you want to go to graduate school in international relations, what books should you read more oft

I am a student of this major. The core courses of international relations are political science, history of international relations, and theory of international relations.

Political science textbooks recommend Tang Shiqi or Xu Datong's History of Western Political Thought, Yang Guangbin's Introduction to Political Science, Wang Puqi's Principles of Political Science, and so on. There are many histories of international relations, and if you have enough time, you can read the ten-volume history of Wang Shenzu's international relations, or the five-volume version of Fang Lianqing, and other Gu Guanfu, Tang Xianxing, Shi Yinhong and others are also good. China's diplomacy can look at Li Baojun, Yan Shengyi, Yang Gongsu and others.

For the theory of international relations, we can see Wang Yizhou, Ni Shixiong, Li Shaojun and others.

If you still have time, you can take a look at some classic works, such as inter-state politics in international relations theory, international political theory, rights and interdependence, non-** society, and so on. These books are mentioned in the textbooks mentioned earlier, so you can read them yourself.

It is also good for magazines to recommend international politics, political science, Chinese diplomacy, and other world economics and politics published by the National People's Congress Books and Newspapers Information Center.

First of all, you have to understand that it is more difficult to get a job in this profession.

Secondly, if you really want to take the test, it is recommended to read more reference news, and the Global Times does not have to, it is too extreme.

As for books, I don't know if you have a foundation, but you know, books for real international relations majors are very boring, and I don't think you can necessarily read them.

Each school is different, so it is recommended to go to the official website to see which school you want to apply for. The reference books vary from school to school.

Politics and foreign languages are the unified examinations. There are two professional courses, one is the professional foundation, which is generally to test political science, some of which are based on the principles of political science, some of which also rely on the history of political thought, and some schools put the history of Western politics in the professional comprehensive. The history of international relations is a compulsory part of the professional synthesis, but it spans a large area, from the Thirty Years' War at the beginning of the seventeenth century to today, different schools also have some emphasis, for example, the National People's Congress focuses on the pre-war period, and the School of International Relations seems to focus more on the Cold War and the post-Cold War.

There are also different regulations on China's diplomacy and international relations theory. Of course, the three major schools of thought in the West today need to be familiar, not only the initial examination, but also the re-examination.

In short, if you want to take the exam, you should first prepare for the history of international relations and the principles of political science, and then further determine the scope of review according to which school you are applying for. In terms of the history of national relations, Wang Shenzu's book is authoritative and recognized by any school, and if there is enough time, he will compile a note from his ten-volume version. In addition, the history of international relations published by his law publishing house can also be used.

In addition, before the war, you can also take a look at Fudan Tang Xianxing. Fang Lianqing's five-volume history of international relations can also be used. Gu Guanfu's book reputation is also good, and Shi Yinhong of the National People's Congress is also very strong.

In terms of international relations theory, a better textbook is the contemporary Western international relations theory taught by Ni Shixiong of Fudan University. The introduction to international political economy edited by Song Xinyu and Chen Yue is also best to take a look. There are three people in the area of Chinese diplomacy who have good books, Yan Shengyi, Li Baojun, and Yang Gongsu.

In terms of political science principles, the books of Jing Yuejin, Yang Guangbin, Wang Huiyan, Wang Puqian and so on are good. In the case of Western political history, Tang Shiqi or Xu Datong's books are good.

Of course, not all of these books are read, just pick one as the outline, and make a supplement to the others.
