Case Histories in International Politics presents 20 original case studies to offer a historical perspective for better analyzing world affairs. Providing in-depth historical illustrations of core concepts in international relations, this casebook surveys major events in the 20^th and 21^st centuries and highlights both enduring and emerging problems. Case Histories in International Politics looks beyond current events to help students make meaningful comparisons between what happened in the past and what is happening now. “Stiles does a good job of tying events in world history to core concepts in the study of international relations. I want students to weigh the pros and cons of various interpretations of major events, and this casebook helps me do that.”–Timothy Hellwig, University of Houston
