The fourth edition of this clear, standard introduction to international relations has been completely revised and updated. Providing a coherent general framework for understanding international affairs, Frankel analyzes how policies are formulated and state power is expressed through propaganda, economics, diplomacy, and military force. A comprehensive survey of the historical events and political theories of the 20th century, the volume presents a remarkably accessible and impartial study of the issues, values, and conflicts within the international system, with particular attention to the superpowers and China. Among the current topics considered are the growth of multinational corporations, new states, and terrorist groups; the volatile condition of the Middle East and Africa; and the relative success and failure of institutions like the United Nations.
