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

5.0 out of 5 stars ... class at Portland State University (hmm globalization at it's finest? )
Reviewed in the United States on 24 July 2016

This book was a required reading for a fully online class at Portland State University (hmm globalization at it's finest?). Fortunately, for that class, I was lucky enough to have the author of the book as my professor. With that being said, this scenario in no way influenced my 100% honest review. The book not only presented a logical flow of information, but also covered a variety of topics and is paramount to a successful beginning knowledge of Global Studies. The book provided a dearth of information while not making it too bland and wordy. I fully recommend this book to other Global Studies students as well as academics and general readers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Reviewed in Japan on 8 November 2015

Very useful for International Studies students. Approachable language, even if the grammar/sentence length can be challenging. I am using this for a writing course with an international focus (and with international students studying international relations). It is serving as the core text for their summary/response and argument papers and works well because it has a variety of topics allowing students to truly choose what they are most interested in.

Bought the book new. It was obviously in great condition. The read itself is a bit too fast for me. Seems to jump from one subject to another.
