War, starvation, disease, ecological disasters, nuclear holocaust...This book examines the dominant features of world politics, asking which are durable and active in shaping our future and which are of declining influence. Seyom Brown shows how the current system of nation-states is out of step with economic, technological, and cultural realities. He concludes that the most likely outcome of current struggles is global polyarchy- a configuration in which there are no clear patterns of power

Human Rights in World Politics is an introduction to the deeply held popular and intellectual convictions concerning human rights today, focusing on the globalization of human rights issues and struggles. Either in the form of international laws or as interventions on behalf of people who are purportedly denied justice in their own countries, human rights issues have found their way onto the center stage of the contemporary world politics arena. This unique text explores the questions and complex answers surrounding human rights struggles to show how and why these issues are one of the most critical facets of international politics today.

This is an argument for reform of the traditional norms and structures of international relations. Brown's argument in this book, maintains that world politics is in a crisis of incongruence between the world's traditional structure of governance (the nation-state system) and the most important interactions of people. Symptoms of this systematic crisis include: the epidemic of violent inter-ethnic conflicts; secessionist and self-determination movements; waves of international terrorism; contraband in weapons and drugs and ecological threats to the health of living organisms. This text's analysis probes beneath the surface of these events to determine their underlying causes and to find new policies and institutions conducive to a more safe and just world order.

The first edition of this successful text helped to define a new approach to the study of international relations, one suited to the realities of the postcold war world. It broke the confines of the dominant realist” paradigm to offer an intelligible theoretical discourse on how the world works.In this thoroughly revised and updated edition, Professor Brown again presents a text exemplary both in its intellectual accessibility and its relevance to the real-world concerns of policymakers and the attentive public.This new edition’s approach thoroughly vindicated by world events since its original publication, expands and deepens the analysis that made the first edition such a unique text. Readers will especially appreciate the expanded treatment of the issues of ethnic and national self-determination, the controversial role played by the UN in humanitarian and peacekeeping missions, the growing importance of international trade and its impact on sovereignty, and the burgeoning of ethical inquiry in the analysis of international relations.International Relations in a Changing Global System is still the ideal text to present the complexities of real-world analysis in a sophisticated but accessible manner.
