Description: Essentials of International Relations is a brief but highly readable introduction to the core concepts in international relations. The author presents the basic tools of analysis -- the individual, the state, and the international system -- and shows how the primary schools of thought -- liberalism, realism, and Marxism -- use these tools to evaluate interactions between nations, paying particular attention to security and economic issues. Theory is brought to life with numerous examples and case studies. In addition, the role of international law and the development of international organizations are explored as the author presents a clear and fully developed lens through which the emerging world order can be examined and understood.
