International Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Global Issues / Sheldon Anderson, Mark Allen Peterson, Stanley W. Toops, Jeanne A.K. Hey

This core text is the first to provide a much-needed interdisciplinary approach to international studies. Emphasizing the interconnected nature of history, geography, anthropology, economics, and political science, International Studies details the methodologies and subject matter of each discipline then applies these discipline lenses to seven regions: Europe; East Asia and the Pacific; South and Central Asia; Africa; the Middle East; Latin America; and North America. This disciplinary and regional combination provides an indispensable, cohesive framework for understanding global issues.

The third edition includes:
A new chapter on North America
Three new global issues chapters: The Right to Protect, New Global Players in the 21st Century, and The Arab Uprisings
