Keywords:
Political scientists Chernotsky (U. of North Carolina-Charlotte) and Hobbs (North Carolina State U.) provide a framework for international studies that is built upon an understanding of the many borders that define the international system. In that way, they are able to address the many different fields that constitute international studies, and provide instructors a starting point from which they can pursue their own disciplinary interests. The challenge for students majoring in international studies, they say, is not so much what anthropology, political science, or sociology is but about what each of them contributes to an understanding of the world.
