@article{hobbs_2008, title={A Review of: “International Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Global Issues”}, volume={4}, ISSN={1551-2169 1551-2177}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15512160802202698}, DOI={10.1080/15512160802202698}, abstractNote={The growing field of International Studies, if indeed it can even be called a field, is so broad that it can encompass everything that is ‘‘international.’’ It is the intersection of various academic disciplines but lacks an integrative framework. Any subject matter, defined as ‘‘international’’ and the point at which various disciplines converge, is fair game. This eclectic scheme of organization is reflected in the way in which International Studies majors have developed in colleges and universities across the United States. While there is tremendous interest in all that is ‘‘international,’’ fueling the proliferation of these majors and minors, it is the ‘‘studies’’ aspect that has varied from one institution to the next. As a result, while there is a great need for a core conceptual framework, it remains elusive. The key question becomes—Are there any theories and approaches unique to International Studies other than the everything approach, i.e., utilizing all the different theories from each discipline as needed or desired? By definition, this interdisciplinary approach lacks integration. The international arena is the integrating force and as such becomes the dependent variable subject to the interpretations of various disciplines of academia operating as independent variables to explain the world—past, present, and future. It is in this light that Anderson, Hey, Peterson, and Toops have stylized their book, International Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Global Issues. Organized in three sections, the first introduces the various disciplines they identify as contributing to international studies—political science, history, geography, economics, and anthropology. The second section offers regional views of the world, and the last, a very brief introduction to seven global issues. With the exception of the introduction and to some extent the conclusion that offer a glimpse into a more integrated international studies worldview, the chapters could stand alone. The first five as an introduction to five liberal arts disciplines the authors have identified as key to international studies, the second set as a regional overview of the world divided into four parts, and, the third, a quick introduction to pressing global issues. As such, this book would be an ideal freshman introduction to humanities and social science views of the world and the international issues that confront us.

The simulation presented here challenges students to examine the many different actors operating in the international system today. The focus is the Chad–Cameroon oil pipeline—a landmark example of cooperation and conflict between international institutions, non-governmental organizations and business interests. Given a scenario, students assume these roles and negotiate for the continued success of the pipeline. All the materials to run this exercise are included and if utilized, can provide a positive active learning experience.}, number={3}, journal={International Studies Perspectives}, author={Hobbs, H.
