International Politics on the World Stage

John T. Rourke's eighth edition of International Politics on the World Stage explores the dynamic world of politics as it swings into the new millennium. Current political research theory establishes a foundation. From this base, Rourke traces the growth of the international political system and uses current events to challenge students to decide where the trends are leading and where their best interests lie. The engaging style that has made this title a bestseller is combined for the first time in this edition with full-color photos and graphics. The Web site continues to be a strong component this time, featuring interactive exercises, important Web links, interactive maps, and more.
