Welcome to the Information Center for International Politics on the World Stage Eleventh Edition.

Much praised for being both accessible and scholarly, John Rourke's text uses current examples to illustrate theories. The tenth edition has been meticulously revised to recognize new scholarship and to update coverage of world events and trends, including the Bush Doctrine, the war with Iraq and its aftermath, the expansion and problems of the European Union, the effect of the "neocons" on U.S. foreign policy, the failure of the U.S. "road map" in the Middle East, the advent of the International Criminal Court, and the rift between poor and developed countries in the latest round of World Trade Organization talks.
