Description: "This core text is the first to provide a much-needed interdisciplinary approach to international studies. The authors include a geographer, a historian, 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 conflict and national identity. This disciplinary and regional combination provides an indispensable, cohesive framework for understanding global issues.  The third edition includes:   Extensive updates throughout to reflect current events, including the Arab uprisings and the civil war in Syria   New chapter on North America   Three new global issue chapters: The Right to Protect, New Global Players in the 21st Century, and The Arab Uprisings   A new conclusion emphasizing the integration of the disciplines and their application"--
