(Presenting an analysis of the role of revolution in inter...)
Presenting an analysis of the role of revolution in international politics, this edition takes account of developments since the first edition was published in 1984, such as the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union between 1989 and 1991, and the re-evaluation by a number of scholars of the French Revolution. This is followed by various revisionist studies of revolution itself. The book incorporates recent work in the field, which calls for some significant changes of emphasis in order to understand the nature of international politics today. International relations as a discipline has moved away from state-centred theory; the new emphasis is on globalization, interdependence and the importance of non-state actors.

(Susan and Peter Calvert present an account of Argentina, ...)
Susan and Peter Calvert present an account of Argentina, the eighth largest country in the world, blessed with immense natural resources but which has so far failed to justify expectations. The cultural and political heritage is examined to help explain the political instability and economic underdevelopment of the country. Culture, Catholicism, liberalism and personalism are among the influences discussed. Peter Calvert has also written "The Process of Political Succession".

(Providing an up-to-date assessment of the role of Latin A...)
Providing an up-to-date assessment of the role of Latin America in the international system, and written from a neo-realist perspective, this textbook examines the interaction of states within the region and their contribution to the development of international law and peacekeeping. Calvert begins by analyzing the special characteristics of Latin America - its shared language and history, and its perceived status as part of the "South" in economic terms. He then explores the factors which go into the making of Latin American foreign policies: the perceptions of actors such as states, political parties, social elites and armed forces; the distribution of natural resources; the linked economic demands of poverty at home and debts abroad; and the ideological frameworks of socialism, native American rights and international law. He examines the workings of the inter-American international system and the Organization of American States, which played a key role in the Falklands crisis. Finally, he explores the region's role in global politics, via the non-aligned movement and the United Nations.
