Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"WORLD POLITICS successfully integrates sophisticated theoretical treatment of analytical issues with a thorough presentation of substantive material. It is well written, and the visual material for students is well selected and organized. The essays on controversies in international relations are engaging and should force students to think about some of the major issues in international relations. The authors have updated all important pieces of information and they blend in nicely discussions of recent events."

Reseña del editor:

This text analyses both historical and contemporary trends and developments, utilizes theoretical concepts, and weaves in the interactions of global actors. Presenting the material in a thought-provoking yet accessible manner, the text frames the dynamics of international relations with major theories of realism and liberalism. However, newer theories, such as constructivism are also explored. In addition, major actors and current issues such as global welfare, international economics, ecology and the environment are covered as well as global conflict, including the changing face of terrorism, national security, warfare and approaches to peace. Aiming to prepare the student to discuss the unfolding topics in world affairs, the text sensitizes them to their need as world citizens to think more critically about the moral implications of global circumstances and policies designed to alleviate human suffering.
