But increasing interdependence has transformed the world political agenda, creating the need for new tools to explain the changing reality of global politics. """"Global Politics in the Human Interest"""" provides those tools. This fully revised fifth edition thoroughly covers post - September 11 developments. Addressing such interrelated issues as terrorism, democratic transitions, nationalism, human rights violations, armed conflicts, economic globalization, and sustainable development, Gurtov explores the threats and opportunities posed by the changing world order. The book retains its practical bent, revealing how global politics affects the quality and content of people's lives.
