International Studies

Presenting International Studies as a wide, plural and inherently interdisciplinary field of research, this book shows its links with philosophy, peace research, history, geography, globalization studies, international political economy, political psychology, sociology and social theory, linguistics, strategic or war studies and anthropology.

This book shows how interdisciplinary perspectives recast International Studies, from global processes to its intertwining with states and people, and redefine key concepts such as power and war
