International Studies

Introduction

The time for increased focus on International Studies is now.  The world has taken a sharp turn inward, in terms of politics. One now regularly reads or hears descriptions of a world promoting nativism and xenophobia. 

This inward trend is clearly stated in the political campaigns if the current administration in the White House but also in the Brexit movement in the U.K. and in political campaigns in Europeans countries such as the Netherlands, France, Hungary, and  Austria, just to name a few. 

This Library guide is designed to introduce resources that can help you with your learning and your research on topics with a focus on International Studies. Please take a moment to click the various tabs to the left to become familiar with the layout and contents of this Guide.
