Overview
A highly engaging introduction to the study of world politics, D'Anieri's INTERNATIONAL POLITICS: POWER AND PURPOSE IN GLOBAL AFFAIRS, 5th Edition, emphasizes that examining problems from multiple approaches can provide a better understanding. The text uses the theme of power and purpose to examine five paradigms of international relations theory and to connect the scholarly analysis of international politics to policy problems and contemporary affairs. Its cohesive pedagogical framework presents the study of international politics as a series of intellectual puzzles and policy problems -- helping students make the connections between theory and policy, history and the present, and ideals and constraints. Case studies of real-world events address common student deficiencies in history, policy and geography. In addition, the MindTap digital learning solution is available with this edition.
- Thoroughly revised and completely up to date, the 5th Edition of this popular text is packed with current examples from world events as well as important historical cases.
- Detailed coverage of new trends includes the rise of populism and trade wars, putting them in historical and theoretical perspective to ensure students gain a solid understanding of complex issues.
- A new list of additional resources is now included at the end of each chapter to inspire and guide students as they further explore chapter topics that pique their interest.
- Updating its treatment of gender issues, the text now adopts nonbinary gender language.
- Reflecting the latest research and developments from the field, the 5th Edition includes new discussions of important topics such as critical international relations theory, international hierarchy and the impact of social media and bias.
- Each chapter begins with numbered Learning Objectives and an outline to help students focus on key concepts and maximize their study time.
- A case study approach makes the material more applied for students, giving them plenty of opportunities to put what they learn into practice.
- Bringing chapter concepts to life, "The Historical Connection", "The Policy Connection" and "The Geography Connection" boxed features provide additional context, enabling students to view chapter topics from different perspectives, sharpen their critical thinking skills and improve their understanding of key concepts.
- Many instructors cover civil war in their international relations courses. But while other IR books fail to provide substantial coverage of civil conflict, INTERNATIONAL POLITICS offers comprehensive coverage of this issue within the conflict chapters, illustrating how the international community becomes involved in civil conflicts and the impact of these conflicts on other states.
- The 5th Edition also digs deep into recent issues such as Brexit, U.S.-China trade conflict and populism to show students how broad academic approaches help us understand these puzzles.
- MindTap for International Relations offers a wealth of online content such as quizzes, videos, timelines and case studies to help learners with central course concepts.
