Aprašymas

From the Foundations in Global Studies series, this text offers students a fresh, comprehensive, multidisciplinary entry point to the study of the social and cultural aspects of global studies.

Global News Media



Indigenous Peoples and Intellectual Property Rights



NGOs, Humanitarianism, and the Cultural Construction of Global Hierarchy



Climate Change and Changing Global Imaginaries



Transnational LGBT Identities



The Islamic Veil and the Global Politics of Gender
