Summary: Starts with a very brief outline of the main schools of international relations theory, then considers the modern (Westphalian) concept of the state, and the roles and relationships of the state and non-state groups and intergovernmental organisations. Concludes with a look at some of the big issues: global warming and greenhouse gases, control of nuclear and chem-bio weapons, human rights, and the divide between rich and poor countries. Argues that IR should not be the preserve only of political scientists as it encompasses history, law, and economics as well as foreign policy.
