About this title

Synopsis:

Comprehensive and concise, this study of the major political, economic and ideological patterns in the global arena since World War II - written for introductory courses in international relations or world history - is intended to serve as a corrective to often one-sided, Western-centred approaches to the salient features of recent decades. This edition takes measure of the momentous events in what was known for seven decades as the Soviet Union, explaining the dismantling of the Soviet empire and the tentative steps towards providing the now separate nation-states with viable economies and political stability - neither of which are by any means assured. The book also includes discussions of the Gulf War, developments in South Africa, and the move towards democratisation in Third World countries, and other events and changes of the past few years.
