Political Science
The chapters in the book have organized in such a way that the reader is able to understand the flow of events in the book. For instance, the information in the chapter 1 the book majorly mainly explains its thesis thus giving the reader a clear view of how the events unfold. Moreover, each and every chapter has its own plot which it basically talks about. This consequently allows the reader to be able to understand how events have been changing and how each and everything that takes place in the book has been categorized (Chapter 4, p. 104). On the other hand, the writer has incorporated the use of examples in order to clearly explain in brief each and everything that the chapters discuss this consequently enables the reader to understand clearly without feeling bored while reading. The chapters also follow the chronological order of events, thus allowing the reader to be able to understand how and why certain activities took place before other activities could have happened. In addition, the chronological flow of events enables the reader to be able to understand how certain political activities were influenced by other activities.
Each and every chapter has a topic sentence, which enables the reader to be able to reflect whatever information the book carries. Furthermore, the chapters also have a thesis statement which is fully supported by the explanation and the evidence provided in the chapters (Chapter 4, p. 105). Due to the research that the writer has done in order to write the book is also good, since the writer has been able to come up with information which is very significant and thus makes the reader to gain very important information as he or she reads through the book.
Each and every chapter also has an introductory paragraph, which familiarizes the reader with the chapter, thus enabling the reader to be able to understand whatever the chapter is talking about. On the other hand, the chapters also have sub topics, which clearly explains more about the topic at hand in the chapter. For instance, in chapter 4, the book talks about the world’s industrialization which is a very significant topic of discussion. The chapter explains how newly industrialized countries (NIC’s) moved from low level industries into high value industries. This chapter therefore equips the reader with the knowledge of how newly industrialized countries became highly industrialized as time went by (Chapter 4, p. 106). Moreover, the chapter also explains why certain changes had to take place in order for the countries to be able to become highly industrialized.
In chapter 1, the book clearly explains how the cold war led to the rise of the centred US capitalism world economy. This was after the country deployed its military in Europe in order to contain Russia and China during the Second World War. This saw the US capitalist economy dominating in different parts of Europe, as the country offered grants and loans to different countries in Europe (Chapter 4, p. 107). The US was therefore in total control of the European economy as it dictated the way each and every country’s economy operated. This therefore gave the US the total power to be able to control Europe and thus locking out Russia and China which had very strong economies, and were likely to control the economy of Europe. The book therefore explains very well how the cold war made the capitalist economy of the US to dominate in Europe and in different parts of the world.
