John Rourke Book order (chronological)

An introduction to world politics offering students theoretical analyses of global politics supported by a review of research in the field. It encourages students to make connections between the basic, static data in the text and the dynamic, up-to-the-minute information available on the Internet.

This new edition contains "pro" and "con" articles that represent the arguments of world leaders, leading political scientists, and commentators on the world political scene. The readings reflect a variety of viewpoints and have been selected for their liveliness and substance and because of their value in a debate framework.
