Area Studies is interdisciplinary in approach,
multidimensional in focus and deals with a range of issues
covering socio-cultural and economic aspects of a nation or
a region in a broader framework.
Area studies has been an integral part of historical
discipline for a long time .
It gained momentum in the modern period with the
outbreak of Imperialism accompanied by scramble for
markets.
According to Edward W. Said, “Orientalism” came to Prominence in the
late 18th century with a result of Area Studies.
Soon it paved way for the emergence of Philological
Studies, Ethnography, Race Relations Comparative
Religion and Heritage Cultural Studies
In the beginning of the 19th century the area studies slowly
began to preoccupy with International Relations since
Vienna Congress. The study largely thrived along the lines
of diplomatic history.
It also came under the influence of hair-splitting theories
and mind boggling ideas
Marxism Nazism and Fascism also had their field day in
this discipline .
The World wars, formation of Global Organizations(League
of Nations and UNO) and Cold war enlarged the scope of
the subject.
Emergence of New International Order; development of
Environment Studies; Identity Questions and Philosophical
Divergence have further advanced the cause of the study.
Formation of Regional Economic Blocks, Global Terrorism and
International Trade- Communication and Network Relation have
further added impetus to the field of the study.
Area Study does not confine to any set of Ideational Position , but
giving way to different views and discourses.
