Readings in International Relations for Readings in International Relations

Description

Edited by noted authors and scholars Joshua Goldstein and Jon Pevehouse, Readings in International Relations pairs writings on international relations theory with writings on current events to help students explore the relationship between concept and application.


Covering the key topics discussed in many international relations courses, this text offers generous excerpts of classic and contemporary theory readings followed by real world examples that support or challenge them. Designed to provide students with a more relevant and critical introduction to the field's original scholarship, Readings in International Relations not only features broad theoretical and topical diversity, it demonstrates how the field explains and is informed by headlines in the news.


Features

  • All the key theoretical perspectives from realism and liberalism to feminism and constructivism are discussed throughout the reader and through selections by leading scholars in the field.
  • Selections on topics of modern importance such as globalization, terrorism, ethnic conflict, the environment, development, trade, finance, and more are amply covered.
  • Brief headnotes in each chapter introduce the topic and the readings' context, highlight the conceptual and practical themes, and put the readings in conversation with each other.
  • Critical thinking questions help students analyze the connections between the readings.
  • Extensive passages from the original works are provided to give students a more meaningful opportunity to use theory in interpreting world events.
