[RED DEMOCRATICA] Foreign Affairs Academic Update 2009

 

Academic Update - November 2009

Dear Educator:

I'd like to remind you of a great Foreign Affairs resource--a custom reader program called Among Nations, sponsored by Pearson Learning Solutions. You can match chapters of your current textbook with articles from publications like Foreign Policy, International Security, The American Political Science Review, and of course Foreign Affairs. Or, you can send us your syllabus and we will select readings for your review.

Among Nations is more than just a coursepack. Articles are accompanied by headnotes and discussion questions written by a panel of editors, led by our Managing Editor, Gideon
Rose.

View samples here:

• Samuel P. Huntington's "The Clash of Civilizations?"
Discussion Questions

• Daniel W. Drezner's "The New New World Order"
Discussion Questions

• Stanley Hoffmann's "Clash of Globalizations"
Discussion Questions

For more information, or to start building your book, visit AmongNations.com. Or, just e-mail us at customlibrary@pearson.com.

Best,

James F. Hoge, Jr.
Editor
