Global Politics

The world is becoming an ever smaller place--through globalization finance and economics technology media and the many global issues that transcend borders. As a result undergraduates studying Global Politics and International Relations need a more integrated applied and practical<br>approach for making sense of the world around them. In <em>Global Politics: Applying Theory to a Complex World</em> authors Mark Boyer Natalie Hudson and Michael Butler have developed an approach to the subject that integrates historical context where necessary in the discussion of global issues and<br>integrates the mainstream theoretical approaches within every chapter to provide students a rich and meaningful way to understand and critically analyze what is happening in the world today. <p/><em>Global Politics</em> covers all of the standard topics in the undergraduate level IR/Global Politics course and also provides more robust coverage of global ecology; gender and race; the different security challenges of our day that go beyond armed conflict; IPE coverage that highlights the divergent<br>paths of the Global North and South; and the growing reliance upon international law international organizations and global and regional governance. Utilizing a familiar organization and emphasis of topics the authors have developed a compelling narrative and features to captivate students who<br>are both worldly and naïve at the same time.<br>
