Karen A. Mingst Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Classic readings and contemporary articles on ongoing international political problems, from a wide range of perspectives.

The third edition of the award-winning International Organizations has been thoroughly revised and updated to take into account new developments and shifting power relations since 2009, as well as the most current scholarship. As before, the authors provide a comprehensive, in-depth examination of the full range of international organizations. New features of the book include attention to a broader range of theoretical approaches, to the increasing importance of regional organizations, and to emerging forms of governance. And new case studies highlight the governance dilemmas posed by the Libyan and Syrian civil wars, human trafficking, LGBT rights, climate change, and more.

This work is an introduction to the core concepts of international relations. The author presents the basic tools of analysis - the individual, the state and the international system - and shows how the primary schools of thought - liberalism, realism and Marxism - use these tools to evaluate interactions between nations, paying particular attention to security and economic issues. Theory is brought to life with examples and case studies.
