THE GLOBAL FUTURE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO WORLD POLITICS, International Edition is a concise overview of the study of world politics, based on the framework of Charles Kegley’s best-selling World Politics: Trend and Transformation.

Written in a way that speaks to students with a wide range of backgrounds and abilities, THE GLOBAL FUTURE provides concepts and analytical tools to help readers understand contemporary events and emerging global trends.

Every chapter contains thought-provoking case studies, box inserts with rival views on current controversies, and a marginal glossary, as well as vivid graphs, maps, and photographs.

Centering on the latest international developments, THE GLOBAL FUTURE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO WORLD POLITICS, International Edition, encourages students to form their own opinions about the pressing security, economic, and environmental problems of the twenty-first century.
