Perspectives on International Relations: Power, Institutions, and Ideas

This book offers an even-handed presentation of the theories of International Relations and explains how the different perspectives shape our understanding of the root causes of historical events and current controversies in global affairs. This Fifth Edition includes coverage of the rise of ISIS, an increasingly assertive Russia, Chinese power in the Far East, developments in Iran, Iraq, Egypt and other countries in the Middle East, the Greek debt crisis and the threat to the Eurozone, the use of social media in protest activities, slowing economic growth worldwide, the acceleration of migrant and refugee flows, and the latest developments in climate change. This edition will also be accompanied by a SAGE Edge site: edge.sagepub.com/nau5e New to this edition: *Now in full-colour, an eye-catching design showcases how relevant this book is for today's students, with more than 120 photos and visually stunning maps, tables, and graphs that display important concepts and key data and empirical findings. *While retaining critical coverage of WWI through the end of the Cold War, deeper historical detail has been significantly cut-context matters, but the book's emphasis is on today's critical issues. *Discussion of the contemporary world from the post-cold war period to today's current events is now covered in chapters that present sustained analysis from each of the perspectives in turn. Whole chapters devoted to how realism, liberalism, and identity perspectives each view contemporary international relations and globalization give students a deeper understanding of how that theory makes sense of the world.
