Political Science & International Relations

The world around us is growing more fractured, contentious and polarized, and at the same time more connected, interlinked and focused on common goals. It has never been more important to understand the reasons why we are divided, and to ask how we can come together to solve the world’s problems.  

The Political Science and International Studies eBook Collection brings together timely interdisciplinary research from around the globe, offering academics access to up-todate research on everything that drastically changes and shapes the society that we live in. Spanning conflict, elections, development and policy, this collection answers the question of how and why governments and organizations shape every factor of our lives, and what ideas are at the forefront of answering the world’s most pressing questions in an era of rapidly evolving crises.
