This book uses the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a compelling and dramatic case study to engage with ten key concepts of International Relations (IR). By focusing on enduring concepts, rather than fleeting events, it provides students and experts alike with a lasting framework for understanding 21st-century international conflicts. Each chapter is written by a leading scholar, providing innovative, critical thinking that sheds light on a specific aspect of the Russo- Ukrainian War. Rigorous analysis, expert insight, discussion of relevant debates, recent literature, and reference works provide readers with an in-depth exploration of key concepts through the lens of interstate war. The book offers readers a comprehensive approach that includes a mastery of the most important concepts in IR; an exploration of the main debates surrounding each of these concepts; and an empirical analysis of the war. Its accessible style and conceptual, pedagogical, and empirical contributions will make it a valuable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of 21st-century international politics, security studies, foreign policy analysis, and strategic studies.
