A field-defining text, this brief edition of Goldstein's International Relations balances security and economic issues; includes coverage of alternative theoretical perspectives, the environment, and women; and integrates technology seamlessly with marginal icons linking to additional online content such as video clips, interactive simulations, and practice tests.  Now with a four color design, this text is the most updated brief text available.
