With a general focus on the forces of continuity and change in the world arean, this book identifies four central elements in the analysis of contemporary world poitics: The Internationa Arena. The International Agenda. Policy, Processes and Power. Order, Justice and Change. These elements are explored, identifying their salient analytical issues, and the ways in which enquiry can be pursued are assessed. In addition, each element is analysed in relation to a substantial empirical case study designed to illuminate the analytical issues. For example, the international agenda is illustrated by an examination of North-South relations, and the issues of order, justice and change through the consideration of human rights worldwide. The aim is to provide not only an introduction to the issues of theory and analysis, but also a practical demonstration of the ways in which such issues affect the study of particular trends, policies or institutions. This book is an important new textbook for students of international politics worldwide. 368 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
