Description

Features

• Introductions and Conclusions in each case study illustrate the application of key concepts and make connections between historical and current events. 
• Timelines make it easier to follow complex and overlapping chronologies of events. 
• Key Figure boxes provide biographical sketches of important actors in each case. 
• “Questions to Consider” invite classroom discussion and explore the contemporary relevance of the historical case studies.

New To This Edition

• A new case study—“Anarchy: The League of Nations”—describes the birth of an early international organization at a time when international cooperation was a fairly radical notion. 

• A new case study—“Intelligence: Pearl Harbor”—analyzes the preparations for and responses to unexpected threats to national security.

• A new case study—“Economic Interdependence: North-South Trade”—highlights the centrality of economic power in an era of globalization.

• A new case study—“Decolonization and Development: India Rising”—illustrates how one country managed competing views of development and emerged as a dominant economic power.

• A new case study—“International Law: The Nuremberg Trials”—discusses a seminal attempt by the international community to address violations of basic human rights.

• A new case study–“Global Governance: The Asian Financial Crisis”–examines how a financial collapse in one region threatened the global economy and how well international economic institutions contained it.

• Each case study is thoroughly updated to reflect recent developments in world politics and to highlight a key concept in international relations.
