Issues in International RelationsTrevor C. Salmon Issues In International Relations is a clear and simple, but stimulating, introduction to some of the many key conceptual issues and contemporary global problems of today. Written by experienced teachers in a jargon-free way, it assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, and allows students approaching International Relations for the first time to gain confidence in what is an often complicated and confusing discipline. Introduces key conceptual issues, including sovereignty and globalisation Considers contemporary global problems such as: security, the causes of war; military intervention; resources; and international organisations Reviews developments in area of particular contemporary interest such as: Russia and the 'Near Abroad'; the Middle East; and Europe Provides students with boxed 'revision-style' notes throughout the text and a guide to further reading at the end of each chapter.
