This is the fine third revised edition. The text is comprehensive in its coverage of all the major disciplines of international relation. The authors have provided an excellent integrated text by using a special narrative approach in this revised edition. Students taken this subject are often over whelmed by the numerous facts, theories, studies, names and other data in traditional textbooks. This needs some new methods of integrating them. The authors provide each chapter in such a method that each chapter is organised around one central theme or narrative.
