This book covers issues such as global welfare, international economics, ecology, environment, global conflict, the changing face of terrorism, national security, warfare, and approaches to peace.
We are witnessing turbulent times which inspire both anxiety and hope. Many global trends are sweeping across a transforming world. To make these movements and changes more understandable, Trends and Transformations in World Politics introduces the reader to the study of world politics in a period of rapid readjustment. This book also focuses on world-historical transformations as a general phenomenon, showing how the twenty-first century change in world politics fits into broader patterns of macro-historical change. To do that, the perspective of major international relations theories is utilized, and a discussion of transformation is grounded within a conceptual framework. This book will strengthen the reader’s understanding of the trends and transformations in world politics.
