This is a short book about the biggest questions in politics. To paraphrase a famous dictum of Trotsky; you might not be interested (yet!) in international relations, but international relations are always interested in you.

The practices of international relations critically shape who gets what and who is who across the world, and its theories inform how we live together globally. Decisive things take place at the international level, and they directly or indirectly affect all our lives: war, trade, and the provision of human rights for example. This book gives a comprehensive, accessible, and challenging overview of what is at stake, and what you need to know.

Ken Booth is a well-renowned expert in the field who has given talks in nearly 30 countries and his work has been translated into 10 languages. He won the 'Susan Strange Award' which recognises 'a person whose singular intellect, assertiveness, and insight most challenge conventional wisdom and intellectual and organizational complacency in the international studies community'. He is currently Senior Research Associate in the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University where he was formerly E.H. Carr Professor and Head of the Department and is a Fellow of the British Academy.
