  International Affairs
International affairs is a discipline with broad dimensions, one that integrates the information, strategies, and techniques of a variety of disciplines—political science, sociology, economics, history, communication, and psychology—to study and understand complex relations among nations.
International affairs looks not only at cultural interplay, but at political, military, and economic transactions among nations.
Although international affairs is not a pre-professional program, graduates find that an inter-national affairs major is extremely flexible in terms of the variety of jobs it prepares them to pursue.

 CIAO: Columbia International Affairs Online
Much of the international community, including Russia, the United Nations, and the European Union praised Ariel Sharon for peacefully ending Israel's 38-year occupation of Gaza.
In addition, Israel's plan to phase out all Palestinian workers in Israel by 2008 threatens to all but sink Gaza's economy, which has already been devastated by the frequent border closures initiated at the outbreak of the second Palestinian uprising (Intifada) in 2000.
Gaza's economic survival will depend on a number of factors including the continued largess of the international donor community, Israel's willingness to let goods and labor through the territory's tightly controlled borders, and the Palestinian Authority's efficacy in dealing with the mounting unemployment crisis.
