A contemporary analytical approach to international relations―written at a level that introductory students can grasp.

Why are there wars? Why do countries have a hard time cooperating to prevent genocides or global environmental problems? Why are some countries rich while others are poor? Organized around the puzzles that draw scholars and students alike to the study of world politics, this book gives students the tools they need to think analytically about compelling questions like these.

World Politics introduces a contemporary analytical framework based on interests, interactions, and institutions. Drawing extensively on recent research, the authors use this flexible framework throughout the text to get students thinking like political scientists as they explore the major topics in international relations.

Review:
“The chapter on international financial relations has made a complex topic very accessible.”
- Andrew Cortell, Lewis & Clark College

“The best international relations textbook that I’ve used. A well-organized and rigorous approach to the topic which introduces students to strategic bargaining and game theoretical concepts in a way that is accessible for all.”
- Andrew Konitzer, Samford University

“Frieden, Lake, and Schultz provide an introductory textbook that offers an integrated framework for analysis and exposes students to cutting-edge research in international relations, while remaining easily readable and accessible to students. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching with it.”
- Ashley Leeds, Rice University

“Much, much better than the other options I have considered. This book gets away from the stale debate between contending 'Isms' and makes it much easier to tell students about current research.”
- Benjamin Fordham, Binghamton University

“This book looks much better than any of the others I’ve seen.”
- Chad Rector, George Washington University

“I love the capstone chapter. How can I sum up a semester? This chapter shows me how. I like the way it weaves theory and history together with policy and normative concerns to address questions about probable futures. It provides an innovative and satisfying conclusion to a very interesting and promising approach.”
- Darren Hawkins, Brigham Young University

“Head and shoulders above anything else out there.”
- David Leblang, University of Virginia

“I think the framework is an excellent one for an introductory text. Indeed, I will certainly use the book in my course for this reason.”
- Glenn Palmer, Pennsylvania State University

“An outstanding text overall. This text is an improvement on other books and will be welcomed by many.”
- Idean Salehyan, University of North Texas

“More analytically rigorous than some current texts, but also one that is written at a level that students in an introductory course can follow.”
- Layna Mosley, University of North Carolina,Chapel Hill
