International Relations and World Politics by Paul R Viotti

International Relations and World Politics by Paul R Viotti

For undergraduate-level courses in international relations or world politics.    International Relations and World Politics structures itself around three basic conceptual perspectives: realism, liberalism/pluralism, and globalism; three broad concepts: security, economy, and identity; and three key trends: globalization, interdependence, and crises of authority to improve students’ conceptual and theoretical thinking about international relations.   Paul R. Viotti and Mark V. Kauppi wrote this book because they believe it is possible and essential to improve a student’s conceptual and theoretical thinking about international relations. If one does not think conceptually, a course in world politics threatens to become little more than current events. Hence, they structured the book in such a way that key concepts, themes, and trends are utilized throughout the discussion of various topics.

 Paul R. Viotti is a professor at the University of Denver’s Graduate School of International Studies and the Deputy Director of the university’s Institute on Globalization & Security.

Mark V. Kauppi is program manager and instructor in the Department of Defense’s counterterrorism training program and is also on the faculty at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. 

 

In addition to this volume on International Relations and World Politics, as joint efforts the two coauthors have also published International Relations Theory and The Global Philosophers.  Aside from their collaborative efforts, each has authored numerous journal articles and edited other volumes on international relations, comparative politics, foreign policy and national security.
