Political Science

This brief edition of Goldstein's best-selling International Relations covers the subject comprehensively but more compactly than the long book, giving professors more latitude to use supplementary readings or focus on special topics and interests.

Goldstein's Brief Edition offers all the strengths that made the comprehensive text a best-seller: a lively writing style; an abundance of illustrative real-world examples; and superior coverage of theory and international political economy. Completely updated, the Second Edition will continue to be a favorite of both instructors and students.

• The most extensive coverage of international political economy and women's issues available in a brief text.

• TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE—Seamlessly integrated text and technology system. The book's Companion Website (http://www.IRtext.com) and the Microsoft® Encarta® Interactive World Atlas CD-ROM are both integrated with the textbook through “Web Link” and “Atlas CD” icons.

• “Thinking Critically” questions at the end of each chapter provide the opportunity for analysis and review.
