Description

For the last 138 years, "The Statesman's Yearbook" has been relied upon to provide accurate and comprehensive information on the current political, economic and social status of every country in the world. The appointment of the new editor, only the seventh in 138 years, brought enhancements to the 1998-99 edition and these have been continued since then. Internet usage figures are included. Specially commissioned essays from major political and academic figures supplement country entries in areas of major upheaval and change. A fold out colour section provides a political world map and flags for the 191 countries of the world. The task of monitoring the pattern or flow of world change is never-ending. However, this annual publication gives all the information needed in one easily digestible single volume. It should save hours of research and cross-referencing between different sources.
