全球视角。这些话是由教育界人士和雇主谁明白,心态和实际技能的结合是相互作用的,工作的,并在随后的21的关键因素日益说出st-century世界。

As a senior content developer at Gale, my goal is to bring people information not only to meet their needs but to spark curiosity and encourage further investigation and learning. In recent years, the challenge has expanded to building international coverage, appealing to a global audience, and aligning content with topics studied at the collegiate level.

后者的野心绑在教育的发展趋势,从国际文凭学校增加了近40%,比过去五年1全球研究程度的增长programs, ranging from associate to doctoral levels. Common links among these curricula are an interdisciplinary approach, a focus on global issues, and the cultivation of cross-cultural awareness. For instance, at the University of California, Berkeley, a learning goal of its Global Studies program is “apply[ing] an interdisciplinary approach to the study of contemporary global issues,” while the College of William & Mary notes that students will explore “the ways in which global forces are realized in and through local contexts, and the interconnections between global regions.”

The aforementioned factors figured prominently in the development of Gale’s newest academic series,在整个地球的法律问题,which showcases the diversity of legal approaches to issues making headlines worldwide. Each of the six chapters in Volume One 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 on the matter.

To firmly establish global coverage, editor Thomas Riggs and his ten advisors (themselves hailing from ten different countries) selected timely issues and in every chapter included at least one representative country from each of the following regions:

  • Eastern and Central Asia
  • South Asia
  • 大洋洲
  • Sub-Saharan Africa
  • The Middle East and North Africa
  • 欧洲,包括俄罗斯
  • 中美洲和南美洲,包括加勒比
  • 美国和加拿大

As a result, Volume One of在整个地球的法律问题拥有上五十种不同的国家和项目,因为项目进行加权平均,没有任何一个观点或国家给予优先。散文介绍,历史和文化背景,立法,结果和趋势,并共同结构书目,提供了比较和分析多层机会。

A challenge in creating such content is assembling the group of international contributors to select, create, and review the work for accuracy. The following infographic depicts the countries in which the volume’s contributors work (with the caveat that some, including several listed in the United States, are natives of other countries):查看资料图
