Global Politics

2nd Edition (2014)

This extensively revised new edition of Global Politics provides a systematic and integrated analysis of the theory and practice of contemporary international relations. An entirely new chapter on theory towards the end of the book addresses deeper questions about the nature and purpose of theory in international relations.
