520 _aThis new edition of an outstanding work on con temporary international relations retains the or ganization and approach that distinguished the prize-winning first edition. Professor Stoessinger offers a wide-ranging survey of all the major problems of contemporary world politics, focus ing his analysis on the twin conflicts between East and West and between nationalism and colonial sm, and considering the military, diplomatic, and economic aspects of international issues. For this new edition he has brought the book com pietely up to date, taking account of such devel opments as the war in Vietnam, the Czechoslovak crisis, the Arab-Israeli war of 1967, the changing nature of NATO, the partial moves beyond the cold war in the East-West struggle, and the in creasing momentum of the forces of anti-colonial ism in the struggle to eliminate vestiges of European rule from Africa. He has kept the case studies which were a conspicuous and successful feature of the original book, and has added a new one on the Vietnamese war.
