The Logic of International Relations

by Walter S. Jones

Book Overview

Beginning with the premise that international relations must be approached from a multinational perspective, this text introduces students to the idea that transactions between nations are behavioral rather than structural. Building on this perceptual analysis approach, the text discusses how the political consciousness of key nations influences international events, public opinion, and policy choices.

Keeping abreast of mankind

Walter S. Jones has a way of getting to the point, explaining the point, and illustrating relationships between his points. In our ever-changing world, international politics and social issues can be very confusing. Jones breaks down the issues into several categories (perspectives, politics, economics, power, organizations) without actually separating the issues, but instead combining them into a "big picture" that one can mentally actually see. The newest edition (there seem to always be new editions) is always up to date with the newest developments and their ramifications to the above-listed issues. This book is very useful in teaching Internation Relations, and a good read if you just want to be able to visualize what all the political eggheads are always talking about.
