This textbook provides an introduction and guide to contemporary international affairs. The authors present basic concepts and theories that are useful for making sense of contemporary debates and challenges in international politics. They use current events and recent history to demonstrate how states and other actors interact with each other across national borders. Major topics include international cooperation, security and conflict, trade, and international law and human rights.
Using levels of analysis as the primary unifying force, Kaufman also assesses what traditional approaches can't explain about the contemporary international system.
Now in full-colour and accompanied by a password-protected companion website featuring additional chapters and case studies, this is the indispensable guide to the study of international relations.
