This is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary approach to learning about the global issues and regions important in today's networked world. 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.The second edition includes: extensive updates throughout to reflect important events, including the global financial crisis; expanded coverage of Asia with new coverage of South Asia; two new global issues chapters on the Sudan and global population; and an entirely new conclusion emphasizing the integration of the disciplines and their application.
