Designed to provide readers with an accessible introduction to international relations, Systemist International Relations introduces the systemist method, a visual approach that equips individuals with the ability to transform the key points of any work of scholarship into an easy-to-understand and salient graphic representation of the data.

The opening chapters speak to how the world has changed in the new millennium, especially regarding the pace of everyday life, and how the international relations discipline has expanded considerably in step. With this growth comes the increased size and complexity of research in the field. The text posits that the systemist method is an effective way to render the influx of information and study in international relations more accessible to all.

Additional chapters introduce systemism and its associated method for graphic representation of analytical arguments. The method is then applied to three key areas of study within international relations: international security studies; foreign policy analysis; and ethnicity, nationalism, and migration. The final chapter reviews what has been accomplished and looks ahead to what might be done in the future to advance research and teaching about international relations.

Systemist International Relations is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate-level courses and programs in international relations.
