  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.

  Rapid changes in world politics in the period since the Cold War pose a challenge to students, scholars and policymakers 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 and the probable characteristics of the 21st century. This textbook comprehensively covers the evidence that describes how the world works and theories that explain what is unfolding and yet to come. In this, the extensively revised 7th edition, the authors keep pace with the march of events and the ever-changing theories and concepts of international relations. This edition contains stylistic revisions and a 4-colour design.
