International Studies by Sheldon Anderson

International Studies by Sheldon Anderson

This core text is the first to provide a much-needed interdisciplinary approach to international studies. The authors include a geographer, a historian, a political scientist, and an anthropologist. Emphasizing the interconnected nature of these disciplines, the authors detail the methodologies and subject matter of each to provide a fuller understanding of the world. Applying these discipline lenses to regional chapters, the authors examine issues facing these regions and the global community. Case studies give readers a closer look at issues such as civil war and national identity. This disciplinary and regional combination provides an indispensable, cohesive framework for understanding global issues.

"A seminal work of simply outstanding scholarship, International Studies is strongly recommended for professional, governmental, and academic library.. reference collections and supplemental reading lists." -Bookwatch "A powerful assessment perfect for any classroom discussion." -The Midwest Book Review Praise for the Previous Edition: "Everyone agrees that international studies should be interdisciplinary, but almost no one knows how to teach that on their own. An innovative collaboration between professors of anthropology, economics, geography, history and political science, this book is fundamentally driven by the importance of interdisciplinary work. The combination of its overview chapters on all five of these disciplines as well as its comprehensive regional approach and contemporary focus on specific global issues should appeal to anyone teaching an introduction to international studies course." -Scott Pegg, Director of the International Studies Program, IUPUI "Finally! A book that gives me to the courage to teach a genuinely interdisciplinary international studies course. Cross cutting disciplinary, geographic and policy issues, International Studies draws upon the authors' considerable experience to provide a holistic approach to analyzing the international arena. This book will be successful as a core text for an introductory class or as an addition to an upper level international studies course, ensuring that students appreciate the multiple lenses critical to understanding global problems." -Patrice Franko, Colby College "This book is long overdue. Finally, we have a text that introduces students to the complexity of the global system through a multidisciplinary cross-regional approach to international studies. In an era of globalization, narrow disciplinary and regional methodologies and foci are insufficient. [The authors'] contribution fills an important methodological and heuristic void. Moreover, this book's broad but sophisticated approach highlights and enriches the critical but often ignored relationship between intellectual analysis and public policy. Professors and their international studies undergraduates will find this text indispensable." -Frank O. Mora, National War College, National Defense University
