Global politics in the human interest

"This fourth edition of Global Politics has been revised to reflect the threats and opportunities posed by the changing world order, and provides facts and figures current through mid-1998. The use of a Global-Humanist framework to address four interrelated problems - human rights violations, war and armaments, sustainable development, and environmental destruction - remains a key feature of the book, which retains its practical bent, conveying how global politics affects the quality and content of people's lives."--BOOK JACKET.
