International politics

by K. J. Holsti · 1967

+ Want to read

This textbook, written for upper-level undergraduate courses in international relations or world politics, offers a single framework for studying relations between nations. Rather than presenting the main schools of thought as isolated topics, it connects the leading approaches scholars use into one coherent whole. Readers are guided through how states, power and conflict can be analysed, making the discipline easier to grasp as a connected body of ideas. It suits students who want to see how different lenses fit together when explaining why countries act as they do on the world stage.
