Offering analysis of the latest data, research and current events, Blanton/Kegley's WORLD POLITICS: TREND AND TRANSFORMATION, 17th Edition, explains the "what" and the "why" behind the happenings on today's international political stage. It explores recent challenges to global peace and prosperity, changes in the political landscape sparked by Brexit, the rise of China and enduring rivalries, and the decision-making process in world politics. Expanded discussions also include terrorism and advances in military capabilities, human rights and inequality, and threats to global health and the environment. A partnership with the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs offers further insight into key issues. Thought-provoking discussions encourage students to critically assess the problems, payoffs, pitfalls and paradoxes of people's choices.
