Cases In International Relations - Potraits Of The Future

This compelling collection of sixteen original case studies challenges students to use international relations theory to explore the most current and pressing issues facing the world today. Selected for their high interest and relevance to readers, each case study was written by the author to provide an integrated approach to examining global issues. An introductory essay in each part and a "Precis" at the beginning of each case puts the cases in context and highlights the key problem or dynamic in the international system raised by the case. A "Conclusion" reviews the case’s outcome, noting which policies worked and which did not. Discussion and study questions, research materials, and websites are provided for each case to offer students an opportunity to use their critical thinking skills and to explore topics in more depth.
