Essentials of International Relations 3e

Overview

Essentials of International Relations is widely recognized for its concise, lucid coverage of the fundamental topics of international political theory. Taking a balanced view of major theoretical approaches to international politics—including liberalism and realism, as well as Marxism, feminism, and constructivism—Professor Mingst provides the analytical tools students need to understand world political affairs at the individual, state, and international system levels.

The Third Edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect recent global developments, and its brief format affords instructors the flexibility of customizing their curriculum using supplementary readings from the Norton Series in World Politics or other books. Concise but comprehensive, sophisticated yet accessible, Essentials of International Relations remains the premier—and most affordable—brief text in this dynamic field.
