Description
International relations affects us all: our security, economic well-being, rights and freedoms, and the environment we share. The world has changed dramatically since the era of empires, and today's world of sovereign states is shaped by a complex array of international institutions exercising varying degrees of political authority. Christian Reus-Smit explores the contours of global political change, untangling the complex world of international relations. He surveys a range of theories, from realism to feminism, and discusses how they offer contrasting perspectives on the global organization of political authority. The author also examines how historically, such organization has been shaped by diverse social forces, including shifting patterns of warfare, changing economic conditions, struggles for rights, and the politics of culture. Reus-Smit concludes by reflecting on the future of international relations in an era of profound global change, providing an accessible framework for understanding the world we live in today.
