Perspectives on International Relations CQ Press

Inne 1

Henry R. Nau's concise and accessible text offers a framework that enables students to recognize and evaluate the different perspectives through which we try to make sense of international politics. Nau shows how each of the three most powerful perspectives on international relations today - realist, liberal, and identity, including constructivist - interprets the most important problems facing the world, showing in a balanced and even-handed way what each has to offer, and where its vulnerabilities lie. Nau provides comprehensive coverage of security, economic, and global concerns, using an engrossing narrative style that both students and instructors will appreciate. The text uses an attractive two-colour design, compelling photos, and includes tables, figures, maps, and charts. In addition, the text features numerous well-integrated, pedagogically-rich tools to help enhance students' understanding of the perspectives and show them how each can be applied: Aimed at an undergraduate audience, this introductory textbook on international relations by Nau (George Washington U.) differs from others by downplaying "high theory" and preferring to explore issues and institutions from alternative "perspectives": the essential ideas that make up the realist, liberal, and constructivist approaches. Nau develops

Empire If You Can Keep In Power & Principle in American F CQ Press

Inne 1

A truly compelling, thought provoking, and relevant text for students of American foreign policy Drawing on the Bush administration's foreign policy maneuvering and the realities of a post-9/11 world, Thomas M. Magstadt goes beyond a mere recitation of events in U.S. diplomatic history. He instead paints a vivid portrayal of the tension between the pursuit of power and the adherence to principle deeply embedded in America's political culture. Magstadt traces the country's move from vulnerable upstart in 1789, to great power by 1898, to unrivaled dominance at the turn of the twenty-first century, when considerations of security and self-interest compete head-to-head with the moral imperative for global leadership and the promotion of democratic ideals. The dynamics of process also matter in this struggle. The book illuminates the complexities of both policy- and decision-making in a way that balances coverage more compactly and more analytically than core texts do, thereby improving readability and student critical thinking. And, by placing recent foreign policy developments in the context of America's historic sense of purpose, Magstadt stresses the need for a new consensus and a new balance between power and principle, between hard and soft power.

Drug Wars & Coffee Houses CQ Press

Inne 1

From the more tolerant 'coffee house' style policies of the Netherlands which focus on public health concerns, to the United States' just-say-no 'drug war' approach, nations frame and seek to resolve drug issues in very different ways and with different levels of success. This variation creates a host of global cooperation and policy coordination problems. "Drug Wars and Coffee Houses" provides an ideal supplement for examining the dynamics of the global political economy. A compelling framework - focusing on political economic ideas and analysis - shows students how leaders and policymakers need to understand the entirety of the drug commodity system if they are to have an impact its different segments. Through the book's use of extended case studies, the text provides an inside look at a complex policy area, from Sweden's attempts to enforce drug-war style policies, to Spain's movement towards decriminalization. Mares asks: What causes leaders and policymakers - at both the domestic and international levels - to create or alter drug policies? Why do rich democratic countries and poor non-democratic countries alike produce, sell, and consume illegal psychoactive substances? What is it about the drug trade that fosters demand worldwide, yet elicits such wide-ranging responses from governments and international organizations? Perhaps most importantly, how best can we study an issue that is awash in myths, moral inconsistencies, social prejudices, and political rhetoric? Comparative analyses of the UN (where diplomatic consensus on prohibition remains strong) and the EU (wherein member states have agreed to disagree), as well as the U.S.'s attempts to force Canada to conform to U.S. policy on marijuana, help readers sort myth from reality.
