Drawing on cutting-edge research and examples from around the world, the fifth edition includes:
  • Three new chapters on the key threats and hopes emerging post-2010: one-sided violence, including genocide and terrorism;gendering international affairs; and climate challenges stemming from global warming and the danger of nuclear war
  • Brand new case studies focusing on contemporary events and issues: ISIS; Brexit; Nuclear Arms Race; Refugees as a weapon of war.
  • Learning features such as graphs, data sets, a glossary, annotated further reading lists, and access to a companion website full of online resources.
