Changing Games, Changing Strategies
by K. M. Fierke
Changing Games, Changing Strategies provides a fresh look at the end of the Cold War and consequent changes in East-West security relations. The central question underlying the book is how a range of policies, previously thought to be unrealistic, became possible. Combining a post-Wittgensteinian approach to language, with insights from the critical theory of the Frankfurt School and Habermas, the book explores the relationship between meaning and practice in a detailed analysis of the contradictions of the late Cold War and post-Cold War world. The analysis demonstrates that developments over this twenty year period cannot be seen in isolation; Primakov's acts cannot be understood without Gorbachev; Reagan or Gorbachev's acts cannot be understood without the independent social movements or initiatives in both blocs; nor these movements without Helsinki. The study calls into question the conventional wisdom that the end of the Cold War was a case of "the West winning". Rather than a victory of one side over the other, the end of the Cold War represents a transition from conflict to dialogue and co-operation in a whole Europe, a conclusion which has consequences for the way we think about the future of East-West security relations against the background of NATO expansion.
The Global Puzzle

World Politics into the Twenty-First Century
by Joseph Lepgold
Unique in its presentation, World Politics adopts a world politics perspective that integrates international and domestic policies throughout all the substantive topics addressed. The text combines contemporary and historical coverage with tools that encourage readers' understanding, independent thinking and active evaluation of real world problems. Four major issues —security and the uses of force; international economics; international environmental issues and human rights amid global diversity—receive equal, exhaustive coverage, while the authors focus on the politics of strategic choice in a way that stresses finding a common ground that respects different world views. This volume covers issues surrounding competing world views, politics of strategic choice, the nature of choice in world politics and fundamental issues in contemporary world politics, as well as, the evolution of world politics, and the world wars, looking for ways to build a global security system that works and the global European political economy. For individuals and professionals involved with or interested in international politics, world politics and international relations.
World Politics, 1945-2000
by Peter Calvocoressi
Front Cover Flash - "Lucid narrative, coherent structure and an enlightened liberal viewpoint" THE OBSERVER "The book compels admiration for its thoroughness, its scope, the masterly ordering of its immense material" THE SUNDAY TIMES Back Cover Copy - Final draft Shelf classification: Politics/International Relations WORLD POLITICS 1945-2000 PETER CALVOCORESSI The final edition of this enormously successful standard work has been completely revised to cover fifty-five years, making it the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of world history since the end of the Second World War. Written in an impeccably clear, succinct and challenging way, World Politics 1945-2000 is an invaluable and authoritative guide through the complexities of contemporary international politics, through the Cold War and post-Cold War world order. Coverage includes: · The immediate aftermath of the disintegration of the Soviet empire in Europe and the Soviet Union itself · The convulsive collapse of the former Yugoslavia and the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo · The Gulf War against Iraq and its various sequels · The Maastricht Treaty for the furthering of the European Union · The tensions in China between economic liberalisation and the stringencies of communism in the shadow of Deng Xiaoping's prolonged rule · Mixed fortunes in Africa, from optimism in South Africa, Ghana and even Angola to grimness or worse in Nigeria, Somalia, Rwanda and Liberia · Thin times for the UN, the expiring GATT and internationalism in general · Over 30 excellent maps · Numerous assessments of key figures, including Deng, Khomeini, Thatcher and Mitterrand · A completely new and fascinating introduction, surveying the major themes of the period Some reviews of the previous editions: "In my view, this is the most lucid, comprehensive, intelligent and reliable account of post-war modern history on the market." TEACHING POLITICS "Peter Calvocoressi has a remarkable record of providing concise, pithy, shrewd and accessible analyses of contemporary history. World Politics demonstrates fully the range of his knowledge and the sagacity of his judgement."
