内容説明

In this contribution to international relations theory, the author presents four levels of analysis, or "images" - the individual, the state, the international, and the global system - and shows how seven basic dynamic processes operate on and across these levels to effect change. Emphasizing that today's economic and environmental issues tend less and less to respect national boundaries, he argues that we must begin to think of the world on the global level, as an integrated, ecological system, and not just as nations interacting as individual units. Drawing heavily on history, economics, demography, psychology, and systems theory, the book is intended as a corrective to the modern habit of abstracting theory from the facts of the real world.
