Summary

Understanding International Politics with Scholarly Articles
REVEL™ for International Politics: Enduring Concepts and Contemporary Issues has been helping students effectively understand politics under governments and beyond for over 40 years. Scholarly articles on essential topics illustrate fundamental debates and differing points of view for a comprehensive and engaging overview of the discipline, while introducing students to the major forces shaping the world today. REVEL for the Thirteenth Edition still employs the authors' cornerstone approach of teaching international politics through relevant scholarship that illustrates its theoretical concepts.
