International Relations and World Politics: Security, Economy, Identity - Tapa blanda

"Viotti and Kauppi have produced a very readable, comprehensive, and well-balanced text. The writing is current, clear, focused and well-organized. The treatment of the theoretical aspects and applications of the theory show that a great deal of care was taken to ensure that the students reinforce the concepts they are reading about with real life examples."-Larry Marinez, California State University, Long Beach "Excellent chapter on terrorism and transnational crime, a very timely topic that is not included in many world politics texts."-Roxanne L. Doty, Arizona State University
