The Global Puzzle

Focusing on contemporary nation-states, organizations and issues, this is a post-Cold War perspective on the international political system. The organizations examined include the United Nations, terrorist groups, Amnesty International, multinational corporations, and the European Community; and among the issues covered are human rights, the environment, and nuclear proliferation. The book's first two parts lay the groundwork by providing historical background and basic concepts of international relations. Ancillary package available upon adoption.
