About the Book
The world in which we are living in is passing through a great period of transition. The human history is undergoing new experiences and experiments. It is also to be noted in the study of international relations and world politics. While one must duly recognise the uniqueness of certain events and developments, we are more concerned with the processes and patterns of behaviour found in the world politics. The importance of the study of international relations is more significant and urgent because the world is getting increasingly interdependent. Relations among states have an ever widening and deepening impact on the economic, intellectual and social conditions of our existence. The study of international relations as an academic discipline would solve all over internal and international problems. You can analyse and explain contemporary international phenomena, including identifying and assessing the positions and interests of key international subjects.
