fully revised and updated to cover the latest developments in world politics,
with three new chapters on International Law, Terrorism and Social
Constructivism and two updated case studies. Written specially for those coming

Baylis and Steve Smith to ensure a coherent, accessible and lively account of
the globalization of world politics. As with the last editon there is a fully
supported companion web site featuring updated case studies of the conflicts in
Kosovo and the 1990-91 Gulf War. There is also a new case study on Iraq.
