Short reviews, which are integral part of the book, set in timeline order, starting from the earliest. My book will be of interest for those who seek to understand how international events at different places of the globe, in different time, echoed, and why some events may repeat. I dedicated this book for those readers who has never been engaged in politics or IR, who has no expert view on global events, but who would rather know some glimpse at the history of IR from authors, scholars and experts. This book neither teach nor blame anything or anyone, it is rather my contribution to help to understand International relations and Global Politics as a whole.
Thanks to KIMEP University (Almaty, Kazakhstan) for our uniting, organization and support of MIR Program, without which the book could not exist.
