International Relations: Basic Concepts & Global Issues

2nd Edition

This is the 2nd edition of my eBook “International Relations: Basic Concepts & Global Issues” containing 45 long-form essays. Encouraged by the response to the first edition of my book for its comprehensive treatment of the topics in an objective and easy-to-understand and remember style, prompted me to thoroughly revise it and publish its updated version. At the same time, I also got a lot of advice from different corners of the world after its availability in French, Spanish, and Portuguese languages.

The first 07 essays are about basic concepts of International Politics to properly comprehend the complexity of this interesting field of study. The remaining articles are about diverse global events and issues ranging from Globalisation and Syrian crises on the one hand and the Clash of Civilisation and the End of History on the other. These essays cover topics about which almost everyone has rudimentary knowledge but is unable to explain. For example, terrorism, privatisation, corruption, agrarian reforms, etc are a few of the topics which everyone talks about but will not be able to discuss systematically. We have tried to provide enough material in these essays for him/her to do that.
