These original case studies, written by leading scholars, examine the
effects of important events in history, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, explore conflicts as recent as the U.N. intervention in East Timor and address recurring topics in world politics classes like weapons of mass destruction. The case studies are accompanied by extensive bibliographies,
multi-media, key treaties and speeches.
The CIAO case study is ideal as a spring board for class discussion or as an international affairs subject guide.
