Through a variety of case studies, this title explores the ways that countries relate to the rest of the world. It examines how countries deal with their enemies, how peace is made, and how diplomacy works in the modern world. It also explores how countries of the world work together to help in times of disaster and war through foreign and humanitarian aid efforts. The book also examines international organisations such as the UN, EU, NATO, OPEC, and NAFTA.
