- Summary
- "This fourth edition of Global Politics has been revised to reflect the threats and opportunities posed by the changing world order, and provides facts and figures current through mid-1998.
- The use of a Global-Humanist framework to address four interrelated problems - human rights violations, war and armaments, sustainable development, and environmental destruction - remains a key feature of the book, which retains its practical bent, conveying how global politics affects the quality and content of people's lives."--BOOK JACKET.
