IR: The New World of International Relations offers a balanced presentation of the global system's past and present. The text helps you understand how the global system has shifted over the last century, and how it continues to change. Authors Michael Roskin and Nicholas Berry begin with a background in world history and geography. They proceed to highlight the fascinating qualities of the field while helping you learn how to think critically about the challenges faced by the US in an era of globalization.
