World Politics: An Introduction to International Relations

As with the first edition, this introductory text sets out a framework for the consideration of international relations by identifying four essential elements in the analysis of contemporary world politics: the international arena; the international agenda; processes and power; and order, justice and change. This revision has been redesigned and includes more student-oriented features and illustration. The content has been thoroughly revised and updated to take into account the many changes in world politics since the first edition was published in 1990. The new edition also includes more material on international political economy, conflict and conflict management, the global environment and regionalism.
