This book provides a much-needed classroom text in international
studies that is genuinely interdisciplinary in its approach.
International Studies focuses specifically on five core
disciplines; history, geography, anthropology, political science
and economics, and describes them in relation to one another, as
well as their individual and collective contributions to the study
of global issues. The expert authors also emphasize the continuing
importance of area studies within an interdisciplinary and global
framework, applying its interdisciplinary framework to substantive
issues in seven regions: Europe, East Asia and the Pacific, South
and Central Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North
Africa, Latin America and North America. This new edition has been
completely updated and substantially revised with two new chapters
on Media, Sovereignty and Cybersecurity and Sustainable
Development. This disciplinary and regional combination offers a
useful and cohesive framework for teaching students a substantive
and comprehensive approach to understanding global issues.

Anthropological interest in mass communication and media has
exploded in the last two decades, engaging and challenging the work
on the media in mass communications, cultural studies, sociology
and other disciplines. This is the first book to offer a systematic
overview of the themes, topics and methodologies in the emerging
dialogue between anthropologists studying mass communication and
media analysts turning to ethnography and cultural analysis.
Drawing on dozens of semiotic, ethnographic and cross-cultural
studies of mass media, it offers new insights into the analysis of
media texts, offers models for the ethnographic study of media
production and consumption, and suggests approaches for
understanding media in the modern world system. Placing the
anthropological study of mass media into historical and
interdisciplinary perspectives, this book examines how work in
cultural studies, sociology, mass communication and other
disciplines has helped shape the re-emerging interest in media by
anthropologists.

Peterson is currently Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Miami
University, Oxford, Ohio. He has published numerous articles on
American, South Asian and Middle Eastern media, and has taught
courses on anthropological approaches to media t at he American
University in Cairo, the University of Hamburg, and Georgetown
University.
For members of Cairo's upper classes, cosmopolitanism is a form
of social capital, deployed whenever they acquire or consume
transnational commodities, or goods that are linked in the popular
imagination to other, more ""modern"" places. In a series of
thickly described and carefully contextualized case studies--of
Arabic children's magazines, Pokemon, private schools and popular
films, coffee shops and fast-food restaurants--Mark Allen Peterson
describes the social practices that create class identities. He
traces these processes from childhood into adulthood, examining how
taste and style intersect with a changing educational system and
economic liberalization. Peterson reveals how uneasy many
cosmopolitan Cairenes are with their new global identities, and
describes their efforts to root themselves in the local through
religious, nationalist, or linguistic practices.
