global studies  

Definition

  • Global studies is the analysis of events, activities, ideas, processes, and flows that are transnational or that could affect all areas of the world. Although scholars have analyzed global phenomena for many decades, as an academic field, global studies blossomed largely after the turn of the 21st century, and it has expanded seemingly exponentially since the first programs were founded in Asian, European, and American universities in the 1990s.
