Issues in World Politics

Review of previous edition: '...analytically well organised, defining the dominant issues of world politics by their extent or scope, their urgency or intensity, their salience or visibility, and their centrality or location... The essays devoted to these issues have all benefited from close editorial control and are admirably focused, explaining the historical background to how the issue got on the international agenda, and how it has been managed or mismanaged internationally since the end of the Cold War.' - James Mayall, Review of International Studies
