Rent A STUDENT'S GUIDE TO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Synopsis

In recent years college students have been flooding courses in international relations, as the September 11 attacks, the Iraq war, globalization, and other issues have underscored the importance of understanding the world around us.

But what can a student of international relations expect to learn in the classroom? In truth, the approach to the subject varies wildly from institution to institution and even from professor to professor.

A Student's Guide to International Relationsprovides a vital introduction to this crucial but often misunderstood topic. Author Angelo Codevilla, who has taught international relations at some of America's most prestigious universities, points the student toward what is essential in the field, explaining what foreign affairs is really all about, the history of the international system, the instruments of power, contemporary geopolitics, and much more.

This witty and wise book—the sixteenth volume in ISI's celebrated Guides to the Major Disciplines—helps make sense of a complex world.
