  Theoretical and historical issues in international relations are brought together here, with the aim of providing students with a series of readings which approach key issues in the study of international relations and at the same time retain a sense of the evolution of contemporary history. The book is structured around international developments in the twentieth century and the approach adopted both in the introduction to the readings and in the readings themselves is a conceptual one. The major themes identified are the expansion of international society, nationalism, the state in the contemporary world, international conflict in the nuclear age, revolution, international law, transnationalism and interdependence and the global economy. The readings explore the interrelataionship between the national and international and reflect the diversity of approaches prevalent in the discipline.
