Publisher Synopsis
'Developed as an undergraduate course book, this text ... carries the potential to be a textbook not only for IR in general, but also for courses on politics, international security, international law and globalisation. ... this book deserves to be read especially by students of IR because of its encyclopedic nature and its ability to discuss Australian politics along with general IR topics.'
