"International relations is a discipline that attempts to answer
big questions about the way the world works. However, even big
questions like ""Why is there war?"" or ""How can we solve global
environmental problems?"" or ""Is there such a thing as Universal
Human Rights?"" start with simple basic categories, themes, and
approaches. This textbook does not presume that all students have
in-depth knowledge of world affairs or clearly formulated opinions
about the complexities of international politics. Instead, it
presumes that all students can readily grasp the fundamental
importance of studying the interactions that take place among
humans at the global level and introduces students to the
terminology, concepts, and theories that will enable them to make
their own assessments about international politics, past and
present. This text uses a unique combination of foundational
readings and primary sources, application case studies, articles,
and analytical essays to provide students with a thorough and
practical introduction to international relations. International
Relations is organized in five units: Unit one introduces readers
to the concept of globalization and to the players in the
international system. Unit two introduces readers to international
relations theory. Unit three concentrates on the study of conflict
and war, which is a fundamental concern of international relations
theory. Unit four examines human rights, alongside the concepts of
rules and laws in the international system and humanitarian
intervention. Unit five returns to the topic of globalization.
