In this introductory text, Brown (international relations, London School of Economics and Political Science) presents all the major theories in the discipline of international relations, stressing the relationship between theory and practice. He also relates the evolution of international relations theory to the history of the last 100 years. This third edition has been revised to reflect recent literature on 9/11, the war on terror and the war in Iraq. Three new chapters have been added on the rise of identity politics and religious fundamentalism; on human rights and changes in international law; and on the implications of US power in the 21st century.
