Description

Political Issues in the World Today provides a comprehensive account of the most salient political issues in world politics and explains their significance in a way that is accessible to students and non-specialists alike.

The end of the Cold War led to a widespread feeling of relief and talk of a new world order. Optimism, however, was short-lived, and a whole range of difficult new issues, including ethnic conflict, refugees, terrorism, and world security, have come to the fore.

A number of ethical and moral issues such as poverty, human rights, and religion have moved up the agenda of world politics.

A new set of problems—regarding the environment, technology, and health care—has impacted the policy systems of states and international organisations.

The contributors to this collection provide a basis for understanding emerging issues on the global stage.
