Essentials of International Relations helps students make sense of global events by utilizing the main theories of international relations—realism, constructivism, and liberalism—in concert with newer perspectives including feminism, postcolonialism, and postmodernism. Current, ripped-from-the-headlines examples allow students to apply this theoretical framework to better understand worldwide events. The new Norton Illumine Ebook offers concept check questions to ensure students are grasping key ideas, and the revised InQuizitive course encourages students to apply these key concepts through low-stakes, adaptive questions.
Highlights of this edition’s new content:
Chapters 1, 2, and 3, the foundational chapters, have been significantly revised to provide a broader theoretical framework to think about global events, building on the three main theories of international relations with an overview of new and critical theories and methodologies.
Current events are integrated throughout the book to provide familiar examples that students can use to practice applying theories. Updated examples include conflicts in the Middle East and Nigeria, the fall of the authoritarian regime in Syria, and China’s aggressive power play across the region.
Cutting-edge scholarship is highlighted to expand on the enduring presence of the contemporarythemes of populism, nationalism, and the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and abroad.
Chapter 12: Human Security was significantly revised to recenter the discussion around migration, with a new chapter opener and contemporary examples throughout.
The new Norton Illumine Ebook features Check Your Understanding questions that help students master core concepts and put key ideas into practice.
Karen A. Mingst is Professor Emeritus at the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce at the University of Kentucky. She holds a PhD in political science from the University of Wisconsin. A specialist in international organization, international law, and international political economy, Professor Mingst has conducted research in Western Europe, West Africa, and Yugoslavia. She is the author or editor of seven books and numerous academic articles. She has frequently taught the introductory international relations course. In addition, she has traveled and lectured extensively at universities around the globe. Heather Elko is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Davis. She has been at Davis since 2009, after receiving her PhD from the University of Pittsburgh in 2008 and holding a postdoctorate position in the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University in the 2008–2009 academic year. In her research, Professor Elko is interested in understanding when, why and how different countries negotiate with each other. When and why will countries come to the negotiating table to resolve problems instead of resorting to more coercive measures? What types of strategies do they use in those negotiations, and why do those strategies differ from country to country and negotiation to negotiation? When and why will countries be able to reach cooperative agreements, and what are the resulting agreements likely to look like? Examining international negotiations in a wide variety of settings, Professor Elko seeks to answer these types of questions.
