Donald M. Snow Boeken

Designed to complement the main themes of any introductory international relations course, Snow’s bestselling text presents original case studies that survey the state of the international system and look in-depth at current issues. The cases are extremely timely, geopolitically diverse, accessibly written, and of high interest and salience amidst today’s headlines. Cases cover enduring concepts like sovereignty, diplomacy, and national interest to emerging concerns like foreign election interference, the COVID pandemic, cybersecurity, and global climate change.

Amidst a changing American security landscape, a prominent expert in U.S. foreign relations examines pressing issues in the Middle East. The book delves into the complexities of regional challenges and evaluates the effectiveness of U.S. policies and actions aimed at addressing these critical problems.

Donald M. Snow invites readers to consider what criteria should be evaluated when considering whether the United States should engage in military action across the globe: when its vital interests are at stake and when the endeavor can reasonably be considered feasible. Special consideration is given to Afghanistan and Ukraine.
