Introduction to Global Studies

Flexible enough for instructors to creatively adapt to their teaching style and interests, and broad enough to engage students of all levels and backgrounds. * Daniel Benson, St. Francis College, USA *Brilliantly weaves together non-Western perspectives, offering an essential, balanced view of our interconnected world. * Xiang Zhang, Nottingham Trent University, UK *An inspiring publication for students and policymakers interested in global affairs. I will continue recommending this book to my students in the coming years. * Krzysztof Sliwinski, Hong Kong Bapist University, Hong Kong *An exceptional textbook for students of international and global studies. Accessible and engaging in presentation, it invites students to learn and explore key topics in global studies. The new chapter on food and agriculture as well as the increased attention to globalization, inequality, and development are timely and relevant. * Lena Khor, Lawrence University, USA *This is the must-have handbook for any student beginning to explore global challenges and opportunities. McCormick strikes the perfect balance between rich, detailed discussion and attractive, accessible material suitable for first-year students. * David Matijasevich, Capilano University, Canada *
