International Relations and World Politics: Security, Economy, Identity, 3/e

International Relations and World Politics: Security, Economy, Identity, 3/e Book Description

International Relations and World Politics structures itself around three conceptual perspectives: realism, liberalism/ pluralism, and globalism; three broad concepts: security, economy, and identity; and three key trends: globalization, interdependence, and crises of authority to improve students- conceptual and theoretical thinking about international relations. If one does not think conceptually, a course in International Relations threatens to become little more than a study of current events. The authors structured the book such that key concepts, themes, and trends are utilized through-out the discussion of various topics, to improve a student-s conceptual and theoretical thinking about international relations.
