World Politics: Trend and Transformation

Rapid changes in world politics in the period since the Cold War pose a challenge to students, scholars and policymakers alike. Without a single overriding global issue to frame inquiry and understanding, there is little agreement about which dimensions of world politics are most important and the probable characteristics of the 21st century. This textbook comprehensively covers the evidence that describes how the world works and theories that explain what is unfolding and yet to come. In this, the extensively revised 7th edition, the authors keep pace with the march of events and the ever-changing theories and concepts of international relations. This edition contains stylistic revisions and a 4-colour design.
