Regional studies (also Area studies) are interdisciplinary (studies involves the combining of two or more academic disciplines into one activity or a research project. It draws knowledge from several other fields like sociology, anthropology, psychology, economics etc.) fields of research and scholarship pertaining to particular geographical, national/federal, or cultural regions. The term exists primarily as a general description for what are, in the practice of scholarship, many heterogeneous fields of research, encompassing both the social sciences and the humanities. Typical area study programs involve international relations, strategic studies, history, political science, political economy, cultural studies, languages, geography, literature, and other related disciplines. In contrast to cultural studies, area studies often include history and emigration from the area.
