Product Description

This study of international relations is often cut off from the study of domestic affairs, but this insulation of the international from the domestic is wrong. International forces profoundly influence the core structures of sovereign statehood, including their political military, economic and normative substance. Conversely, the very nature of international relations is determined by the internal structure of states. In a contribution to the debate, Georg Sorensen puts forward an analysis of this critical interplay between internal and external forces. He explores the development and change of the sovereign state and offers a new agenda for the study of international relations. "Changes in Statehood" should be of interest to students and researchers in international relations, political science and security. MARKET 1> Undergraduate, graduate and research level in international relations

Review
"An authoritative exploration of the systematic changes that are transforming both international and domestic politics. Sorensen's enormous contribution is to combine his exceptional clarity of thinking on a broad range of issues with a rare incisiveness of insight. It is a book no serious student of world politics can afford to miss." -- Peter J. Katzenstein, Cornell University
