International Relations, 6th ed.

This best-selling IR text continues to provide unparalleled coverage of international political economy, traditional and alternative theoretical perspectives, technology, and recent global events. A field-defining text, Goldstein's International Relations was the first and only survey to balance security and economic issues, the first text to include coverage of alternative theoretical perspectives, the environment, and women, and is the only book to integrate technology. The Sixth Edition continues to set the standard for books in this market with all new and updated discussions—including the situation in Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and world trade talks—and offers a new feature, "Lets Debate the Issue", to get students thinking critically and applying concepts to real-world cases. Lauded for its commitment to currency, lively writing style, and abundance of examples, International Relations has long been a favorite of both students and instructors because it makes the rich complexity of international politics accessible and exciting.
