“To be human is to need to live in a world of meanings” (108).

A really interesting and nuanced approach to international studies, it's really been a foundational text for me as I pursue a degree in the field.

This is a great 101/102 humanities and social science text. Political science, history, geography, economics and anthropology are the five liberal arts disciplines featured at the core of international studies, and they form the first section of the book. The second section deals with regional views and perspectives of the world while the third presents students with the most critical global issues.

A good textbook if one looks for a summary of a multitude of subjects through the overarching theme of internationalism. While it provides solid introductions, therefore fulfilling what it sets out to do, sometimes the US-capitalist-focus/bias holds the authors from objectively assessing and explaining the theories at hand.
