This innovative introduction to international and global studies,
updated and revised in a new edition, offers instructors in the
social sciences and humanities a core textbook for teaching
undergraduates in this rapidly growing field. Encompassing the
latest scholarship in what is a markedly interdisciplinary
endeavor, Shawn Smallman and Kimberley Brown introduce key
concepts, themes, and issues and then examine each in lively
chapters on essential topics that include the history of
globalization; economic, political, and cultural globalization;
security, energy, and development; health; agriculture and food;
and the environment. Within these topics, the authors explore such
timely and pressing subjects as commodity chains, labor (including
present-day slavery), human rights, multinational corporations, and
the connections among them. New to this edition: The latest
research on debates over privacy rights and surveillance since
Edward Snowden's disclosures Updates on significant political and
economic developments throughout the world, including a new case
study of European Union, Icelandic, and Greek responses to the 2008
fiscal crisis The newest information about the rise of fracking,
the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the decline of the Peak Oil
movement, and climate change, including the latter's effects on the
Arctic and Antarctica A dedicated website with authors' blog and a
teaching tab with syllabi, class activities, and well-designed,
classroom-tested resources An updated teacher's manual available
online, including sample examination questions, additional
resources for each chapter, and special assistance for teaching ESL
students Updated career advice for international studies majors
