This best-seller continues to provide unparalleled coverage of international political economy, theory, and technology, offering a new 4-color design, a “Changing World Order” feature, and a built-in reader on the September 11 attacks and America's response to them.

Joshua Goldstein's field-defining text makes the rich complexity of international politics accessible and exciting for students with clear writing, an abundance of up-to-date, relevant examples, and a highly praised art program. A new four-color design in the Fifth Edition brings the art program stunningly to life, and a larger trim size makes the text even more open and inviting for students. The Fifth Edition has been fully updated to reflect the profound impact that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and their aftermath have had on international relations.
