For courses in Introduction to International Relations

Build a foundation for international relations
International Relations enables students to form a framework for analyzing the complex and constantly changing information that comprises our increasingly interconnected world. Opening students’ eyes to the positive and negative events that occur across the globe every day, authors Jon Pevehouse and Joshua Goldstein offer a strong foundation in current global affairs, with insight into topics like foreign assistance in the developing world, the changing nature of war, and global poverty levels. The 12th Edition offers significant new and revised content — on the North Korean nuclear crisis, the 2016 U.S. election results, and more — to give students an up-to-date view of international relations.
