Abstract:[This book first] explores the analytical dimensions of world politics, introducing the student to the modern study of world politics, as organized according to .. six levels of analysis ... world system, interstate relations, society, government, roles, and the individual. It also introduces and develops on of [the book's] unifying themes ... that actors' decisions are constrained by the set of options presented by both global and domestic conditions. [The book] examines international conflict and cooperation, covering domestic and interstate war, armament and disarmament, international law and organization, and the causes of power. [It next] is devoted to international political economy, including the political economy of national security and defense, economic interdependence, regional integration and globalization, and the North-South development gap. [Finally], the book is oriented toward the future, with a chapter on global ecology and the capacity of planet Earth to sustain a burgeoning human population, plus a concluding chapter that examines three scenarios for world politics in the twenty-first century. -Pref.
