This accessible introduction blends key facts and terms with strong analytical commentary. It focuses on the period following the Second World War, covering issues from the beginning of the cold war to the present day and paying particular attention to contemporary events. The world’s "trouble spots" are covered in detail, from the end of communist domination in Eastern Europe to the post-September 11 world and the threat posed by international terrorism.
