World Politics
The leading text in international relations is getting even better. Thoroughly revised and reorganized, the 12th edition of WORLD POLITICS: TREND AND TRANSFORMATION presents the most comprehensive coverage of any text. It uses key concepts from major theoretical traditions to analyze both historical and contemporary developments in international relations including such topics as war, terrorism, human rights, the environment, and international development, while emphasizing an institutional approach to resolving international conflict. Author Charles W. Kegley presents the latest material in a thought-provoking way while preparing you to critically assess the problems, payoffs, pitfalls, and paradoxes of choices about the global future and its probable impact on your life after graduation.
Great Powers and World Order
Great Powers and World Order encourages critical thinking about the nature of world order by presenting the historical information and theoretical concepts needed to make projections about the global future. Charles W. Kegley and Gregory Raymond ask students to compare retrospective cases and formulate their own hypotheses about not only the causes of war, but also the consequences of peace settlements. Historical case studies open a window to see what strategies for constructing world order were tried before, why one course of action was chosen over another, and how things turned out. By moving back and forth in each case study between history and theory, rather than treating them as separate topics, the authors hope to situate the assumptions, causal claims, and policy prescriptions of different schools of thought within the temporal domains in which they took root, giving the reader a better sense of why policy makers embraced a particular view of world order instead of an alternative vision.

When Trust Breaks Down
Part of a series on international relations, this book examines the impact of legal change on war. Although considerable scientific effort has been made to obtain reproducible evidence on how polarity, capability, and other international structural attributes of the international system may influence the amount of war, almost no empirical work on the impact of cultural attributes (the distribution of personality types, attitudes, and opinions among society's members) has emerged.
