Description

International Studies: Introductory Readings presents students with carefully curated readings that familiarize them with foundational ideas within the discipline and frame international studies as an interdisciplinary science.

The opening readings presents a panorama of international studies as a field with focus on history, geography, political science, anthropology, economics, and regional studies. Through an interdisciplinary lens, additional readings explain key terms in international studies, examine the various forms of international organizations, and introduce ideas necessary to understand global health issues. Students learn key scientific facts and read about the political, social, and economic ramifications of global climate change, as well as how patriarchy and the global oppression of women is embedded in the very structures of our thinking. Closing chapters provide an overview of different regions of the world, including Latin America, East Asia, South and Central Asia, and Africa.

Designed to help studies confidently confront issues, problems, and decisions in the modern world, International Studies is an ideal supplementary resource for courses in political science and international studies.
