For courses in Introduction to International Relations

An overview of international relations that highlights conflict and cooperation among and within states
Understanding Global Conflict and Cooperation: An Introduction to Theory and History provides a concise, insightful introduction to world politics in an era of complex interdependence. Authors Joseph Nye and David Welch examine conflict and cooperation among global actors via lessons from theory and history, providing readers with a durable framework with which to analyze the current state of international relations. New to the Tenth Edition, a chapter dedicated to global flashpoints — the places in the world where it is easiest to imagine serious conflicts — helps students make connections between events of interest and the text’s major themes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and provides enormous information

Exceptionally written book by the two authors. Easy to read and provides enormous information. The chapters were laid out nicely and is a book I would reference back too. Offers great info for additional reads and/or links to subject matter too. Covers International Relations theories with a balanced approach without too much author bias. Big part of my passing the Troy University M.S.I.R. Comp Exam on the first try. A must read for those interested in IR or are preparing for the Troy University MSIR comp exam.

First of all, this textbook is indispensable for the student to learn an international politics. This Product does not include a band. we must buy it by ourselves. So, I utilize my the rubber band which were included when I bought something. You should try it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Esta edición es para estudiantes de secundaria.
Reviewed in Spain on February 19, 2018

Tras leer la 7º edición para Europa en una biblioteca, busqué comprarlo, pues esta edición tiene unos análisis geoestratégicos de conflictos magnífico. Al no estar disponible la 7º, opté por esta edición, renovada como libro de texto, con un capítulo de "cooperación" con ejemplos para estudiantes de secundaria (capítulo no escrito por el Sr. Nye), algunos conflictos nuevos analizados y añade un glosario básico sobre el tema, fotos en color y ejercicios. El libro es muy didáctico para estudiantes sin conocimientos previos sobre el tema, pero pierde el enfoque de la 7º edición, y además duplica el precio. Por otro lado, creo que está basado en la edición para USA (esta distinción creo que se pierde en esta edición, y hacen una "internacional" con unos enfoques suavizados y orientados a USA).
