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.

This book addresses the paradox of uneven electricity in one of the
fastest growing and now petro rich economies, Ghana, by addressing
the question of why one of the most hydro rich countries in
sub-Saharan Africa produces irregular access for all but 'swing'
voter regions of the country. The book questions why targeted rural
electricity initiatives over the course of the last two decades
have yielded uneven benefits for what is a substantial portion of
the country's population. Using Ghana as an emblematic case-study
that speaks to broader regional concerns, including those of
Nigeria and South Africa, this book contextualizes the variegated
nature of how power sector reforms could not be undertaken without
significant political costs. Indeed, the book situates an unfolding
political landscape that prompted the successful but partial
implementation of power sector reforms in part prompted by the
Washington consensus and undergirded by a shrinking role for the
state in the wider economy.
