Overview

Praise for the previous editions: “Since I began assigning Introducing Global Issues, my students have been much more involved in the course.... A valuable resource.” —Jeffrey P. Blick, Georgia College and State University “A balanced, in-depth introduction to the intertwined nature of modern global issues.” —Ralph G. Carter, Texas Christian University Skillfully designed for readers with little or no prior knowledge of the topics covered, thi s thoroughly updated edition of Introducing Global Issues both introduces and helps students to make sense of the most pressing global issues of our time—climate change, weapons proliferation, populist authoritarianism, the war in Gaza, conflict-driven migration, sustainable development, and much more. Each chapter provides an analytical overview of the issue addressed, identifies central actors and perspectives, and outlines past progress and future prospects. Discussion questions are posed to enhance students’ appreciation of the complexities involved, and suggestions for additional reading further enrich the text.
