Description
This volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the major themes, concepts and personalities of modern world politics in a single A-Z sequence. More than 400 scholars have contributed to the 650 entries, which offer truly global coverage of a wide range of vital contemporary concerns. There are entries on such key topics as domino theory, federalism, the Third World, Green parties, gay/lesbian rights, and the New Right; information on important conventions and treaties like the Helsinki Accords and the Monroe Doctrine; and biographies of major political figures of recent times, including Churchill, Hitler, Gandhi, Mao Zedong, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Boris Yeltsin. Combining fact and interpretation, this reference is beneficial to students, journalists, business people and anyone with an interest in world affairs.
