Understanding International Relations - Tapa blanda

Reviews of previous editions: "It is entirely characteristic that Chris Brown's text is unlike anybody else's; it is equally characteristic that it is written with a zest, a pace and a sense of fun that is sadly missing from much of the discipline as a whole. Students--and their teachers--will gain a great deal from it. They will also have a good time!"--N.J. Rengger, "Political Studies" '"Understanding International Relations" is a very appealing book...The text succeeds in giving a clear account of all the main theoretical possibilities and, in a non-judgemental but not uncritical way, setting them in context.. I can think of no book more likely to succeed in persuading a sceptical undergraduate--someone convinced of the existence of a self-evident world of facts--that not only is a knowledge of theory necessary to understand international relations, but it is fun."--James Mayall, "Review of International Studies"

Understanding International Relations is the 3rd edition of a well-established advanced undergraduate and postgraduate text. It has been comprehensively updated to take into account recent literature on the theory of international relations, and events in the world, in particular '9/11' and the War on Terror. New chapters have been added on the individual and international relations, identity and nationalism and the implications of US power in the twenty-first century.
