SummaryTable of Contents
This collection of 16 original case studies gets students applying IR concepts to real-world situations and helps them to understand the most important current and enduring problems facing the international system. Specifically crafted to cover the main themes of any introductory course, this exciting new volume addresses the critical issues that are currently facing the world and are likely to be enduring issues into the future. the cases were chosen because of their importance, freshness and timeliness, and inherent interest to readers. As each case study was written by the authors, this volume is more than a collection of journal articles (which do not often work together to form a coherent whole). Cases in International Relations provides an original, integrated approach to covering real-world problems that is sure to engage students and get them thinking critically.
