Synopsis:

This new introduction to world politics by three leading scholars offers a contemporary analytical approach based on the way political scientists study international relations today. Each chapter begins with an intriguing empirical or theoretical puzzle that sets up the chapter's analysis; "Controversies" boxes throughout the text provide insights into some of the most compelling current policy debates.
