International Relations and World Politics By Paul R Viotti & Mark V Kauppi

Description

International Relations and World Politics. Updated in its 5^th edition, International Relations and World Politics is a toolkit that offers an authoritative survey of the field and practical ways to analyze current and future world problems. Drawn from the authors’ experience as scholars and practitioners, this new edition was completely rewritten to focus on an enduring teaching and learning goal–how individuals can apply theory, history, geography, and more for a lifetime of understanding politics in a globalized world. Whether as actors themselves in world politics, participants in the global economy, or simply readers of world news, those reading International Relations and World Politics not only get more help to master the field’s concepts but also get more help to understand that these are real-world ideas with real-world implications. E.H. Carr, the renowned English scholar, observed how academics and policymaker practitioners typically live in different worlds—the former stepping back from day-to-day events to ask (and try to answer) the big questions, the latter consumed by the immediacy and press of current events that pose challenges also requiring answers. The authors have had (and continue to have) experiences in both worlds in university and government positions they have held both at home and abroad.
