All of our cards are now on the table, and in a sense my job is done. In the first seven chapters we assembled electrodynamics piece by piece, and now, with Maxwell’s equations in their final form, the theory is complete. There are no more laws to be learned, no further generalizations to be considered, and (with perhaps one exception) no lurking inconsistencies to be resolved. If yours is a one-semester course, this would be a reasonable place to stop.

Thus chapter discusses the basics of international responsibility, focusing mostly on states.

To make a current flow, you have to push on the charges. How fast they move, in response to a given push, depends on the nature of the material. For most substances, the current density $\mathbf{J}$ is proportional to the force per unit charge, $\mathbf{f}$.

This chapter discusses the role of political parties and interest groups in affecting the direction of foreign policy, with a focus on the erosion of bipartisanship and the influence of ethnic groups.

this chapter discusses the outline of the legal regulation of the global economy, focusing on how the system is divided into separate domains (trade, finance, investment, etc) and provides basic overviews of each of these

Classical mechanics obeys the principle of relativity: the same laws apply in any inertial reference frame. By “inertial” I mean that the system is at rest or moving with constant velocity.1 Imagine, for example, that you have loaded a billiard table onto a railroad car, and the train is going at constant speed down a smooth straight track. The game will proceed exactly the same as it would if the train were parked in the station; you don’t have to “correct” your shots for the fact that the train is moving – indeed, if you pulled all the curtains, you would have no way of knowing whether the train was moving or not.

This chapter assesses the role of the Department of Defense, intelligence community, and Department of Homeland Security in foreign policy as well as the coordination mechanisms across bureaucracies.
