Summary
This classic account of world history since 1914, set within an analytical framework of the rivalry among the major nations for control of the world's resources, territories, and populations, is now revised and updated to cover important recent developments such as the reduction of East-West rivalry in the Third World, the collapse of the Soviet satellite system in Eastern Europe, the reunification of Germany, the political and economic crisis in the USSR, and the Persian Gulf War. Incorporating the most current scholarship, Keylor shows the interdependence of the military, political, and economic structures of the various regions of the world, provides an incisive analysis of the impact of technological innovations on the nuclear arms race, and devotes considerable attention to international economic relations, including trade patterns, capital flows, and foreign investment. Three new chapters explore the evolving international positions of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
