This textbook provides a multidisciplinary introduction to global and international studies. Offering unrivalled breadth and depth, it covers all the key dimensions of the topic, including broad introductions to international politics and economics, and focused surveys of topics from human rights and migration to conflict and the environment.

Gregory Freeze, Brandeis University, USA
A clear, logical, and strategic approach to an extremely complex discipline. McCormick's Global Studies serves as a great foundation for any introductory examination of global citizenship and allows plenty of room for the instructor to fully illuminate the nuances with timely and relevant news and events.
Mary Poffenro, San Jose State University, USA
An excellent introduction to the all-encompassing field of global studies, which offers a succinct and solid foundation for any student.
Simon Shen, Chinese University of Hong Kong, S.A.R., China
A well-organized introduction to global studies that includes both an impressive span of key topics and a critical perspective of what global connections means in different contexts.
Per Knutsson, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Global studies is, by definition, an enormous subject area that encompasses the fields of international politics, economics, social anthropology and environmental issues. McCormick rises to the challenge of presenting the complexities of globalisation in a clear and well-structured manner. This is an excellent introductory text, which will also be of value to advanced undergraduate students.
