  • An unrivalled examination of international relations through the lens of historical analysis
  • Supported by a range of engaging learning features, including biographies of key figures and chronologies of key events to signpost them for students

New to this Edition:

  • A new final part, 'The Age of Uncertainty', brings readers up to date with key IR events and developments from 2011 onwards
  • Three brand new chapters explore the war in Syria, Brexit, Trump, and the rise of major powers in the East
  • Thoroughly updated to reflect developments in discourse, such as England's strategy for Middle East defence in Egypt during the Cold War

International Relations since 1945 is the most student-friendly guide to the history of international relations. In it, Young and Kent provide an accessible and comprehensive introduction to key developments in international relations across the world. Now in its third edition, the text has been thoroughly updated to include contemporary developments and includes a brand new concluding part: 'The Age of Uncertainty, 2011 - 2018'.
   
New to the third edition are three chapters covering developments from the last decade. The first of these, 'Conflict and Chaos in the Middle East', describes the development of the War in Syria and the emergence of the so-called Islamic State. Young & Kent tackle Brexit and the Trump administration in a new chapter on 'Threats to the existing Global Order: Instability in the West'. The final new chapter details 'Challenges from the East' with an overview of Russia's unstable relationship with NATO, North Korea's nuclear ambitions, and China's new international economic rules under the leadership of Xi Jinping.
   
International Relations Since 1945 is helpfully structured chronologically and by region, taking the reader through the tension of the Cold War and post-war decolonisation to the Vietnam War, The Détente Era, and the latest developments in Middle East politics. Furthermore, students are supported by helpful learning features including biographies of key figures and chronologies of events.
