Summary: "The challenge of teaching international studies is to help students think coherently about the multiple causes and effects of global problems. In International Studies: Global Forces, Interactions, and Tensions, award-winning scholars Scott Straus and Barry Driscoll walk students through the foundations of the course; the major actors, institutions and theories; and finally the contemporary problems that will matter most to students. The authors give students a clear framework that pinpoints how key factors-forces, interactions, and tensions-contribute to world events and global problems like human rights abuses, economic inequality, pandemic and global health responses, and food security. The book raises the bar for the Introduction to International Studies course and is relevant to students studying geography, sociology, political science, and anthropology"-- Provided by publisher.
