Inhaltsangabe

The half-decade since the 6th edition of Introducing Global Issues appeared has seen enormous th changes in the international arena, perhaps most notably a move away from multilateral approaches to solving global problems—climate change, the covid pandemic, conflict-driven migration, and more. Both the impact of those changes and possible paths to collaborative problem solving are at the center of this new, fully revised and updated edition of the text.

The material has been successfully designed for readers with little or no prior knowledge of the topics covered. 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 further reading additionally enrich the text.
