Political Science

Case Histories in International Politics gives students a historical perspective and a theoretical framework for better analyzing international relations.

Providing in-depth historical illustrations of the core concepts in international relations, the 19 case studies in Case Histories in International Politics lead students through the key issues and problems that have arisen over the last 50 years. The text looks beyond current world affairs to survey major events in the 20^th and 21^st centuries, thereby facilitating comparisons between what happened in the past and what is happening now. Thoroughly updated and with four new case studies, Case Histories in International Politics remains an ideal supplemental text for thinking critically and in-depth about international relations.

• Historical context is established in each case study by highlighting key events in chronologies, key actors in biographies, key locations on maps, and key data in tables.

• “Debate Topics” encourage students to apply each case study’s lessons to current events by posing a central question and presenting pro and con viewpoints.

• “Questions to Consider” help students examine each case study’s broader implications and its importance to their own lives.

• “Web Addresses” give direct access to government policy papers, current economic statistics, special interest group activities, and on-going academic research.

• A new feature, “Thinking Theoretically,” prompts students to make connections between the historical case studies and core concepts in international relations.
  

• A new case study on human trafficking explores a burning human rights issue and reviews the efforts states are making to address it.
  

• A new case study on the genocide in Rwanda focuses on efforts by the international community and the Rwandan government to apprehend and convict war criminals.
  

• A new case study on regionalism looks at three different economic alliances to investigate the way in which developing countries are establishing greater international cooperation.
  

• A new case study on pandemics examines several of the most contagious and deadly diseases on the planet, how they are spreading, and how international organizations are trying to stop the spread.
  

• Each case study is thoroughly updated to reflect the changing political landscape of the world.
