International Relations - A Very Short Introduction, by Paul Wilkinson » We always learn something - but the edition I have read (from the library) is from 2007, and I can’t avoid thinking this book would have some different parts, if it was a more recent edition. At that time, Bush, Condi, Tony Blair and all this team was there (obviously, the international relations foundations in the world don’t change completely according to who is in charge of the United States, but journalists prefer up-to-date things). So many things happened since them - Obama, Osama, crises…
Anyway, nice to have the subjects we see everyday in the news classified in a short introduction to such a big field - states, non-states, intergovernmental organizations and problems and challenges - and how history is important to understand all these relations in a better way. The author is a highly experienced expert, and I have to said I feel like I must read it again, to make sure I learnt the “basis”. Maybe I will.
