International Relations in the 21stCentury.
Data Sheet: Walter Astié-Burgos and María Cristina Rosas, International Relations in the 21st Century; Mexico, Center for Analysis and Research on Peace, Security and Development Olof Palme / National Autonomous University of Mexico, 2019, first reprint, 469. ISBN: 978-607-02-9121-0.
Based on their vast knowledge, experience and practice in international affairs, Ambassador Walter Asité-Burgos and Dr. María Cristina Rosas present in this book a clear, precise and highly educational overview of the 14 main components of contemporary International Relations. Both the enormous and growing complexity of global problems, as well as the impressive speed with which it evolves and affects our daily lives, make it essential that we all have a better understanding of the way in which the complicated international interactions of the 21st century are being played out, as well as a broad understanding of the channels, mechanisms and means that are used to do so, and especially about the serious threats that civilization is facing in our very troubled new century. This work has the merit of being one of the first books on International Relations to be published in Mexico -and perhaps in all Latin America, where texts from other latitudes have been traditionally used-, being very useful for the student or the teacher of International Relations, for its simple, accessible, didactic, and entertaining wording (although it is also intended for non-specialized audiences). This book, in synthesis, contributes to fill the information gap that, in general, exists about the way the international system is working and provides its own point of view, different from the one that has been disseminated by the large centers of world power.
