"CROSSING BORDERS provides a framework for students built upon an understanding of the many borders that define the international system. Renowned authors Harry I. Chernotsky and Heidi H. Hobbs address many of the different fields that constitute international studies – geography, politics, economics, sociology, and anthropology – and give instructors a starting point from which they can pursue their own disciplinary interests. By integrating research and current examples, the authors encourage students to identify their role in today’s international arena and discover what it means to be a global citizen. Not only do students develop a better understanding of the world, they also gain insight into how to increase their own global engagement through study abroad programs, internships, and career options. This Third Edition is thoroughly updated to reflect recent events and trends, including cyberterrorism, the rise of ISIS, and other key issues. It offers new color maps and clear learning objectives for every chapter, giving students a solid understanding of the complexity of the issues facing the world today."--Back cover
