With smart features designed to promote critical thinking, the book invites students to envision the future roles they might play on the international stage and guides them in developing the intercultural competencies they need to get there. Looking at types of "borders"―geographical, political, economic, social, and cultural―and then delving into extended case study chapters to explore the specific challenges they pose, the authors help students see how these borders contribute to our understanding of the world.
