This text" "provides a comprehensive account of the most salient
political issues in world politics and explains their significance
in a way that is accessible to students and non-specialists alike.
The end of the Cold War led to a widespread feeling of relief and
talk of a new world order. Optimism however was short-lived and a
whole range of difficult new issues, including ethnic conflict,
refugees, terrorism and world security, have come to the fore. A
number of ethical and moral issues such as poverty, human rights
and religion has moved up the agenda of world politics. A new set
of problems--involving the environment, technology, and health
care--has impacted on the policy systems of states and
international organizations. The contributors to this collection
provide a basis for understanding emerging issues on the global
stage.
