Essentials of International Relations helps students make sense of global events by utilizing the main theories of international relations-realism, constructivism, and liberalism-in concert with newer perspectives including feminism, postcolonialism, and postmodernism. Current, ripped-from-the-headlines examples allow students to apply this theoretical framework to better understand worldwide events. The new Norton Illumine Ebook offers concept check questions to ensure students are grasping key ideas, and the revised InQuizitive course encourages students to apply these key concepts through low-stakes, adaptive questions.
