作者简介
本书每章的内部结构完全一致。每章以介绍所要讨论的概念开始,然后用历史事实解释这一概念,其中穿插一个相关历史人物表和一个重大历史事件编年表。依据每章所讨论的核心概念,作者在结论之后提出一个有争论的核心论题,并陈列出有关这一论题的两种完全对立的观点的论据,然后再提出由此衍生出来的一些问题。最后是作者提供的相关网站和参考书目。每个部分都突出了“问题”两个字,即突出所讨论的问题的答案是不完善的,有进一步研究的必要。
此书分为三部分:大国关系、边缘地区冲突、金钱与正义。从全书的观点看,斯泰尔斯的学术立场应属于自由主义学派而非现实主义学派,但是他还是将教材的主要部分集中于国家战略关系和国际冲突,而不是非国家行为体和国际合作。全书共计19章,其中第一部分的大国关系就占了10章,这一部分讨论的对象主要是美国、德国、中国、苏联。第二部分介绍的是有关中小国家的国际冲突或是大国与中小国家间的冲突。这一部分有6章,除了国家行为体外,还涉及了俄罗斯的车臣分离武装和穆斯林基地组织。第三部分是关于非国家行为体和国际合作的问题,但是这一部分只有3章。从本书结构也可以看出来,国家是国际政治最主要的行为体,大国是国际政治中最重要的角色,冲突是国际政治的本质。
