Description: International relations affects everyone's lives: their security economic well - being rights and freedoms and the environment they share. Recently we have seen the transformation from a world of empires to today's world of sovereign states which are enmeshed in a complex array of international institutions all exercising degrees of political authority. The new global organization of political authority has far - reaching consequences. This Very Short Introduction untangles this complex world providing an accessible framework for understanding the contours of global political change. Christian Reus - Smit treats theory as an indispensable tool for grasping international relations but demystifies theorizing introducing it as an everyday human practice. He surveys a range of theories from realism to feminism: reading them as contrasting perspectives on the global organization of political authority. Historically such organization has been shaped by diverse social forces four of which are discussed in detail: shifting patterns of warfare changing economic conditions struggles for rights and the politics of culture. Reus - Smit concludes with a reflection on the future of international relations in an era of profound global change.
