Description

This edited collection examines how international studies fits into the current liberal arts curriculum and possible ways it will be adapted for the next century. The essays seek to link ethical principles to critical skills in international studies, point to trends in current programs, and create a model program. In addition, extensive case studies from American colleges and universities that are at the forefront of the international studies movement are provided. This is a major work of importance to those planning, teaching, and administrating international studies at academic institutions.
