  This textbook provides an introduction to international relations and to global problems and policy issues. The authors cover rivalries between nations, and issues - like terrorism, nuclear proliferation, energy and resource politics, and patterns of international production and investment - which transcend national boundaries. Their approach attempts to blend historical and descriptive information with more analytic, theoretical and conceptual discussion. This new edition has been redesigned and provides coverage of the break-up of the Soviet bloc, the fresh emergence of nationalism and ethnic conflict, and the rise of the European Community and other regional trading blocs.

  The emerging 21st century world poses a challenge to students, scholars and policy makers alike. Without a single, overriding global issue to frame inquiry and understanding, there is little agreement about which dimensions of world politics are most important. This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the post Cold War world and the various theories which attempt to explain what is unfolding and yet to come. In this extensively revised eight edition, the authors keep pace with the dramatic march of events and the ever changing theories and concepts of international relations. Students are informed of relations among global actors, the historical developments and issues that underlie such relations and the ways in which today's trends are likely to alter the global future.
