In this major new work, leading scholars come together to evaluate the influential International Society approach to contemporary world politics. Writing from a variety of perspectives, the contributors to this book demonstrate that a proper understanding of world politics needs to incorporate many types of actor and be able to explain the different types of issue in world politics. This International Society approach offers one of the most illuminating ways of understanding the major issues of our day, such as terrorism, global governance, and the role of international law.
