The study of international politics has become truly global in nature and scope, as the world stands politically organized in nearly two hundred nation states at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century. The globalization of political economies and the ‘internationalization’ of the nation state system is the most characteristic feature of the 21st century.

Each chapter provides an analytical overview of the issues addressed, identifies the central actors and perspectives, outlines past progress and future prospects. Model questions and suggestions for further reading additionally enrich the text.
