The authors argue extensively that events in the international scene over the past seven years have changed drastically the international environment. The bipolar system in the distribution of politico-military power has ceased to exist. The Eastern Bloc and the economic and military interstate organizations it included, such as the COMECON and the Warsaw Pact, disintegrated. On the other hand, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Western Alliance has had to come to terms with a great challenge, that is the lack of a common threat. In short, International Relations: Continuity and Change offers the reader a survey and analysis of the most important international relations theories, taking into account the historic developments and changes of the last decade.
