Essentials of International Relations

Bol

Essentials of International Relations helps students make sense of global events by utilizing the main theories of international relations—realism, constructivism, and liberalism—in concert with newer perspectives including feminism, postcolonialism, and postmodernism. Current, ripped-from-the-headlines examples allow students to apply this theoretical framework to better understand worldwide events. The new Norton Illumine Ebook offers concept check questions to ensure students are grasping key ideas, and the revised InQuizitive course encourages students to apply these key concepts through low-stakes, adaptive questions. Highlights of this edition’s new content:Chapters 1, 2, and 3, the foundational chapters, have been significantly revised to provide a broader theoretical framework to think about global events, building on the three main theories of international relations with an overview of new and critical theories and methodologies. Current events are integrated throughout the book to provide familiar examples that students can use to practice applying theories. Updated examples include conflicts in the Middle East and Nigeria, the fall of the authoritarian regime in Syria, and China’s aggressive power play across the region. Cutting-edge scholarship is highlighted to expand on the enduring presence of the contemporarythemes of populism, nationalism, and the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and abroad. Chapter 12: Human Security was significantly revised to recenter the discussion around migration, with a new chapter opener and contemporary examples throughout. The new Norton Illumine Ebook features Check Your Understanding questions that help students master core concepts and put key ideas into practice.
