Offering unrivalled coverage of classical theories, contemporary approaches, and current issues, together with an exceptionally clear writing style, Introduction to International Relations provides a uniquely accessible and engaging introduction to the subject. With an emphasis on theoretical approaches and their application to the real world, the authors encourage critical engagement with the theories presented, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and the major points of contention.

The eighth edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate current events and key developments in the discipline. The changes include a new, three-part structure, which helps students to build a clear understanding of how key debates in the discipline are connected with each other, and how these can be applied to the world around them. The first part, ‘Studying IR’, emphasises the practical reality of international relations in everyday life, and how to connect this reality with the academic study of the subject. The second part, ‘Major IR Theories and Approaches’, guides the reader through the essential theories in the field, including Realism, Liberalism, Social Constructivism, Postcolonialism, and Feminism, among others. Finally, the third part, ‘Theory Meets the Real World: Policy and Issues’, builds on this foundation by exploring how we can understand current issues such as climate change and terrorism through the lens of IR theory.
