Cases in International Relations challenges students to use international relations theory to explore the most current and pressing issues facing the world.

Designed to complement the main themes of any introductory course, this text presents 16 case studies that focus on the most timely and enduring issues facing the international system. Selected for their contemporary interest to readers, each case study was written by the author. Cases in International Relations offers more than a collection of journal articles; it provides an original and integrated approach to examining global issues that is sure to engage students and get them to apply international relations concepts to real-world situations.

• Presenting the topics most frequently raised in introductory international relations courses, the cases are organized into five parts—“New Forces in International Relations,” “Evolving Dynamics of International Relations,” “Economic Globalization,” “The Altered Face of Security,” and “Transnational Issues.”

• An introductory essay in each part puts the cases in context by explaining the part’s theme and linking each case to it.
  

• The “Precis” and “Conclusion” in each case focuses students’ reading by highlighting what key problems and dynamics in the international system are raised by the case and by reviewing the case’s outcome and noting which policies worked or did not.
  

• Discussion and study questions, research and reading materials, and websites are listed in each case to help students critically engage the cases and to explore them in more depth.

• A new case study “Popular Terror and the Democratic Peace: Theory Versus Practice” closely examines the rise of terrorist groups through democratic means.

• A new case study “Debating Globalization: India and Venezuela” compares and contrasts the experience of globalization in two major states.
  

• A new case study “Evaluating Globalization: NAFTA After a Decade” dissects the impact of NAFTA, the many debates regarding its success and failure, and the connection between NAFTA and immigration.
  

• A new case study “The Perils of Proliferation: Iran and North Korea” analyzes the arguments surrounding nuclear proliferation, especially as they apply to Iran and North Korea.
  

• Each case study is thoroughly updated to reflect current scholarship and recent developments in international relations.
