The theories are organized by "level of analysis"--individual, organizational,
societal, and international--to provide the reader with a larger organizational scheme in
which to understand the theoretical explanations and arguments and to emphasize the
importance of developing linkages among the different levels. Some of the new topics
discussed include: globalization, transnational organizational structures, debt, the
transition from socialism to capitalism and human development.
