About this title

Synopsis

Peace and war. Global warming. Multinational corporations. Imperialism and nationalism. Such topics encompass many of the most profound political and moral problems we face within the context of international relations.
International Relations offers a clear and succinct overview of the field, providing a genuinely international scope in a very concise form. Written by a leading academic and researcher in the field, this invaluable introduction for students outlines key current theories, approaches, and controversies while stressing the relationship between the theory of international relations and the realities of the international system, both historically and in an increasingly globalized post-Cold War world.
The table of contents is as follows: States, Nations, and Government; Beyond the State: Non-State Actors in the Modern World; A Brief History of the Twentieth Century; Imperialism, Post Imperialism, and Neo-Imperialism; Theories of International Relations; The Global Political Economy; Security, Violence, and the Military; The Global Environment; and Moral Issues in International Relations.
