This text serves as an advanced introduction to the field of international history. With contributions from a range of scholars, it maps the current terrain of the sub-discipline through essays that both appraise recent historiography and analyze theoretical, methodological and conceptual issues. The chapters are thematically focused and expansive in their geographical scope, doing full justice both to established core areas of concern and to innovative approaches. The topics covered are: diplomacy and decision-making; economics; strategy and warfare; ideology; intelligence; propaganda, communications and opinion; non-state actors; imperialism and post-colonialism; gender; culture; systems and IR models; and global history.
