Synopsis:

Students of international relations are faced with an enormous variety of concepts, organizations, movements, conflicts, treaties, historical and geographical references and doctries, as well as terminology that spans diplomatic, military, legal and environmental issues. This guide provides a comprehensive cross-referenced dictionary for those studying international relations and modern and contemporary international history. Interest in the subject has never been greater than it is today, but the study of international relations requires an interdisciplinary understanding in order to make sense of global continuity and change, and global and regional interdependence and rivalry. With a framework that covers the period from the French Revolution of 1789 right up to the present, and includes 1500 entries, this guide gives the reader both the theory and the historical context, and provides a support to study. Detailed and succinct, it is fully cross-referenced and includes details of further reading and websites. It is a reference book for anyone seeking a better understanding of world affairs and the background to contemporary realities.
