Frontlist Talking Points Ebook Pub Date: September 2017 Legal Issues across the Globe Print Pub Date: September 2017 Teaching Points Global studies is a growing focus at both the collegiate level and at select K-12 institutions (such as International Baccalaureate schools), and teachers are seeking to infuse global content into their lessons. Common links among global studies curricula are an interdisciplinary approach, a focus on global issues, and the cultivation of cross-cultural awareness. Twenty-first-century jobs require employees who can successfully operate in a globalized and multicultural economy. At a Glance Legal Issues across the Globe is a new academic series, with one volume published annually Print Price: $315. Ebook Price: $346.50 Volume One; 448 total pages Full color; 6 chapters, with 72 country essays 60 photos, 17 charts/graphs/maps Print ISBN: 978-1-4103-3840-2 Ebook ISBN:978-1-4103-3841-9 Market Needs In recent years, educators as well as employers have cited the importance of embracing diversity and developing a global perspective. At the collegiate level, this aim is manifested in the increase in global studies offerings. These programs are often constructed by pulling in courses from a variety of disciplines, or they may require a focus on a particular world region (e.g., Latin American studies). Legal Issues across the Globe offers instructors an example of how to infuse global content into topic-based study while also allowing them to pick and choose country essays across topics to fit into area-studies classes. Legal Issues across the Globe fills a need for global content. While every chapter includes an entry on the United States, the preponderance of material, around 85 percent, is international in scope. Legal Issues across the Globe examines how today’s hot-button issues are being addressed within the legal systems of various countries and explores the historical and cultural forces behind the diversity of legal approaches. It is unique in being an accessible and interesting undergraduate law resource; most competitors in the field are technical volumes targeted at law students. In terms of global topic discussion, Legal Issues across the Globe differentiates itself by being an academic, rather than K-12, product that boasts detailed, authoritative essays along with unmatched breadth of countries covered. In addition, the yearly publication schedule of volumes in the series allows for timely coverage of topics and the ability to update previously covered issues, a feature that one-off or edition-style publications cannot match.

K-12 (upper level): There are more than 4,700 International Baccalaureate schools worldwide. In schools offering the IB Diploma Programme, all students must complete an “extended essay,” a selfdirected research project culminating in a 4,000-word paper. A new option for this project is the world studies extended essay, for which a student "must focus on a topic of global significance . . . . [and] “explore how their chosen issue may be illustrated in a local context.” The assignment’s interdisciplinary approach and goal of promoting global awareness matches the mission of Legal Issues across the Globe, and these young scholars could find inspiration and direction from the product. Description and Key Features Legal Issues across the Globe showcases the diversity of legal approaches to issues making headlines worldwide. Each chapter is devoted to a single topic and presents twelve country essays examining how the nation’s history and culture have influenced legislative and judicial actions. • Volume One topics are: Freedom of Speech on the Internet; Marijuana; Police Misconduct; Refugees; Same-Sex Relationships; and Sexual and Reproductive Rights of Women. • Each topic-based chapter consists of an overview by a legal scholar and equally weighted entries on twelve countries chosen from different regions of the world to illustrate various positions taken and solutions adopted. • 50 countries are covered in Volume One, and while there is a U.S. entry in each chapter, American content makes up just 15% of the volume’s coverage. • The common structure of the essays—introduction, historical and cultural background, legislation, outcome and trends, and bibliography—makes it simple to compare the same issue in one country with another. • Two short narratives in each country essay—in the introduction and a sidebar—discuss how a country’s stance on the issues has impacted an individual, personalizing the issue and helping to engage readers.
