1) Moderator a new comer , we oldies dont make a book review as Announcement . So person is not much aware of it .
2) Since that book is Political Science one , there is high probability that Moderator got PS&IR as an optional . Guess , he/she need to know more on that book so fast to grab on it .
Inference : New comer [Mod] with PS optional will give you that Moderator .. How is it .. :>
@abhi134 i have book of comparative politics and ir of cosmos but i don't find them useful. Actually i read heywood and morgenthou for ir and neil o brien comparative so finding nothing new in book. This is my personal perception.
@kumar_deepak3265 actually I dint read anything for paper 2 part a till now! So I m thinking to begin it with cosmos and then revise ignou and simultaneously surf net for some important issues ! Will this approach be useful or should I go with some other books like v k malhotra or books specified by u?
@abhi134 I havent read Cosmos material, but heard from many toppers that they are good. Regarding Comparative Politics, you can refer Almond and Powell's book.
