The Globalization of World Politics is an introduction to international relations (IR) and offers comprehensive coverage of key theories and global issues. The seventh edition features several new chapters that reflect on the latest developments in the field, including those on gender and race. New pedagogical features — such as case studies and questions, a new debating feature, and end-of-chapter questions — help readers to evaluate key IR debates and apply theory and IR concepts to real world events. Within the four sections on ‘The Historical Context’, ‘Theories of World Politics’, ‘Structures and Processes’, and ‘International Issues’, chapters provide an introduction and a useful guide throughout their studies.
