New chapters on post colonialism and post structuralism as well as increased emphasis on the global financial crisis, forced migration, diplomacy and religion ensure The Globalization of World Politics remains the most comprehensive introduction to International Relations available. Expert contributors provide accessible but stimulating insights into the history, theory, structures and key issues in IR, which are ideally suited to those coming to the subject for the first time.
