Description

In this introduction to international relations, and to global problems and policy issues, the authors consider rivalries between nations and issues such as terrorism, nuclear proliferation, energy and resource politics and patterns of international production and investment which transcend national boundaries. It blends historical and descriptive information with more analytical, theoretical and conceptual discussion. The authors have also written "American Foreign Policy".
