The fourth edition of this highly successful textbook is fully up-to-date with current international affairs as well as ongoing debates on the subject, thus providing the ideal introduction to the study of International Relations.

"This work is an outstanding introduction to the theory of international relations. The authors cover a wide range of theoretical approaches and do so in a probing yet accessible manner. With its exemplary balance and clarity, the book deserves a wide readership among students young and old. David Hendrickson, Colorado College
