Global Politics

About this book

In turbulent global times, your study of this subject is increasingly necessary and urgent. Featuring a new chapter on critical theories, and revised to take a less Eurocentric approach to concepts and case studies, this new edition allows you to tackle global politics' important concepts, debates and problems: How can theories help us to understand the politics of a global pandemic? Do we live in a 'post-truth' world of 'fake news' and disinformation? Does international aid work? Does the United States remain a global hegemon? What is the Anthropocene and how does it shape global politics? Are global politics constrained by a 'North-South' divide? What are the possible futures of global politics – and the politics of outer space?
