Understanding International Politics with Scholarly Articles
REVEL™ for International Politics: Enduring Concepts and Contemporary Issues has been helping students effectively understand politics under governments and beyond for over 40 years. Scholarly articles on essential topics illustrate fundamental debates and differing points of view for a comprehensive and engaging overview of the discipline, while introducing students to the major forces shaping the world today. REVEL for the Thirteenth Edition still employs the authors' cornerstone approach of teaching international politics through relevant scholarship that illustrates its theoretical concepts. REVEL for this edition contains 27% new material spread across each of the text’s four parts. Organizational changes and new information have been added throughout to expand the reader’s introduction to this broad and ever changing field.

REVEL is Pearson’s newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, REVEL replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, REVEL is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience — for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.
