International Studies

In International Studies (5th Edition), authors Stanley Toops, Mark Allen Peterson, Walt Vanderbush, Naaborle Sackeyfio, and Sheldon Anderson present an interdisciplinary textbook designed for students examining global issues. The volume addresses the academic need for an integrated framework by connecting core disciplinary perspectives directly to complex global events.

The main thematic structure relies on five foundational disciplines: history, geography, anthropology, political science, and economics. The text uses these five subjects to investigate major global issues, including intercultural relations, international development, global climate change, international terrorism, and the global refugee crisis across different societies.

Enhancing its contemporary scope, this 5th Edition includes two new chapters covering Media, Sovereignty and Cybersecurity, and Sustainable Development. Published by Routledge, the textbook equips students with structured analytical tools intended to support introductory coursework in international affairs.
