Author Paul D’Anieri uses a theme of Power and Purpose to illustrate the tension between those motivated by power and those by purpose. A cohesive pedagogical framework presents the study of international politics as a series of intellectual puzzles and policy problems that help students make the connection between power and purpose, continuity and change, and emerging problems and traditional ones.He also addresses common student deficiencies in history, policy, culture, and geography through case studies of real-world events, and emphasizes that a better understanding of international relations can often be gained by examining problems from multiple approaches.
