YO FOLKS !
Use the list below as a guide, not as a sufficient reference list. Studying in groups has been known to enhance the performance of students on my INR 2001 exams. Use the list in conjunction with your notes and the textbook. Try to figure out WHY the terms are included on the list below as well as what they mean. Be reassured that I am not as interested in details as I am in ideas. For example: it would be less important to know that 80% of the world's population lives in the Third World than to know what is meant by the concept of Third World and how that concept has been instrumental in shaping the relations between the 1/5 of the world that is affluent and the 4/5 of the world that is not.
Good luck. Any questions, please come by to see me or the TAs.

Text Review Guide: Chapter 1 look over. Review Chapter 2 closely. Very important stuff. Chapter 3 look over and look closely at discussion on decision making, leadership, rational actors and bureaucratic influences . Chapter 4 don't labor over the discussion of history (World Wars & Cold War). Understand the concepts of great powers and hegemony, level of analysis, polarity, etc. in the context of history. Chapter 5  is a very good chapter.. Chapter 6 and Chapter 7: see the review list above to guide your review of the types of nonstate actors and their issues and behaviors
