Description

The bestselling text in its field, International Relations is praised for being the most current and comprehensive introduction to international relations theory as well as security, economic, and global issues.

 

From war and trade to human rights and the environment, this survey explores relations among states and the influence of transnational actors and events. Applying a broad range of theoretical perspectives to show students how to analyze current events, International Relations offers the best tools for thinking critically about what is happening in the world today.

 


Also by Joshua S. Goldstein and Jon C. Pevehouse

Readings in International Relations pairs writings on international relations theory with writings on current events to help students explore the relationship between concept and application. This reader and International Relations are available at a discount when packaged together. Please contact your Pearson sales representative for more information and a special package ISBN.


Features

Comprehensive coverage of international relations theory. International Relations offers the widest survey of theoretical perspectives, ranging from realism and liberalism to feminism, peace studies, postmodernism, and constructivism. In addition, text-wide discussion of three core principles–dominance, reciprocity, and identity–offer a consistent opportunity to consider the application of theory to different issues.

 

Balanced emphasis on international security and international political economy. Goldstein/Pevehouse is the only text that equally covers security and economic issues and illustrates how these issues overlap and affect each other. Part I includes chapters on foreign policy, international conflict, military force, and international organizations and law while Part II includes chapters on trade, money and business, global and regional integration, environmental politics and population growth, North-South relations, and international development.

 

Historical context throughout the text. To place recent trends in the context of the international system’s evolution in the 20th and 21stcenturies, Chapter 1 presents a brief historical survey, and timelines throughout the text provide historical background when needed.

 

Unparalleled focus on critical thinking. Pedagogical features in every chapter encourage students to make connections between current events and concepts:

  • “The Big Picture” boxes and podcasts identify each chapter’s essential lesson for students to focus their learning on. In the podcasts, the authors expand on the lesson and apply it to recent events.
  • “Policy Perspectives” boxes ask students to take the perspective of a national leader faced with a real-world situation and to develop a policy in response. These boxes bridge theory and policy and reveal the tradeoffs inherent to decision-making and the connections between foreign and domestic politics.
  • “Let’s Debate the Issue” boxes analyze a controversial issue and invite students to take a position and develop an argument supporting it. Placed at each chapter’s end, these boxes help students use the concepts they just read and prepare for active participation in class.
  • “Careers in IR” boxes help students see the relevance of and the job possibilities in international relations. Careers covered include positions in nongovernmental organizations, government and diplomacy, international business, and teaching/research.

The most extensive use of illustrations. The numerous four-color figures, tables, photos, and maps enliven the text’s narrative, make abstract concepts more concrete, and facilitate critical thinking:

  • Figures and tables present and clarify quantitative data so students can scrutinize the implications of different theories and policies for themselves.
  • Photos and in-depth captions provide visual examples of important concepts and current events.
  • Maps located throughout the text and in a mini-atlas at the text’s beginning help students learn basic geography and link politics to places.

Integrated study guide. Each chapter concludes with a chapter summary, list of key terms, and critical thinking questions.

 

A special insert on Oxfam. “Advancing the Global South: A Rights-Based Approach to Development” is written for this text by one of the leading NGOs in the field of international development and comes straight from Oxfam’s experience of working in the world’s poorest countries. This section insert covers seven major topics–poverty, natural resources, peace and security, equality of women, indigenous and minority rights, trade, and foreign aid; each topic includes a conceptual discussion, human-scale case study, and photos to help students understand and engage with the Global South.

New To This Edition

The most up-to-date analysis of world affairs available in any introductory text helps students become more informed of political, economic, and cultural events throughout the world and then go beyond the headlines to see the broader patterns in international relations. In addition to many new photos from the world’s hotspots and figures and tables with the latest data, the ninth edition covers the latest developments on the economic recession and its effect around the globe; wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; elections in Pakistan and Zimbabwe; Russia’s reemergence as a global power; the expansion of the European Union; the International Criminal Court and Sudan; the controversy over China’s currency manipulation; ongoing concerns over North Korea and Iran’s nuclear weapons programs; political instability in Congo, Guinea, and Sudan; and the future of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.

 

Increased integration of the three core principles—dominance, reciprocity, and identity—in the “Big Picture” boxes, in 13 new “Big Picture” podcasts, and in every chapter help students focus on a set of key ideas in IR and use them to interpret current events.

 

Revised theory chapters—Chapter 2, “Realist Theories,” Chapter 3, “Liberal Theories," and Chapter 4, “Social Theories”—now give equal time to the major schools of thought in international relations while also delving into the core principles introduced in Chapter 1.
