World Politics: The Menu for Choice - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Russett and Starr's World Politics: The Menu for Choice has long been praised as an authoritative introduction to the dynamics of international foreign policy. Now, with the Fourth Edition, the book emerges as the pre-eminent post-Cold War international relations text. World Politics provides the tools for interpreting the world's new political realities. The actions of the policy-makers at all levels are examined in light of the governmental, societal, and international constraints that limit their options. By linking theory to actual events, the book provides a solid analytical framework for interpreting political change as it happens. The Fourth Edition focuses on the nature and consequences of change in an increasingly interdependent non-bipolar world, with coverage of the demise of the Cold War, the breaking up of the Soviet Union, the emergence of former Eastern bloc members as independent states, and the relationship between economic growth, democracy, and peace. It also features stronger emphasis on historical background, non-state actors (such as the United Nations), and transnational relations.
