Product Description

Product Description
Containing over 500 definitions of political theories, dogmas and phraseologies, this dictionary includes updated entries on the European Community and federalism alongside new definitions of the European Court of Justice and Central Banks, among others. Frequently-used terms in Middle-Eastern politics are explained, from Ayatollah and the Arab-Israeli wars, to fundamentalism and the Gulf War. It also includes sections on ideas that have become familiar terms over recent years, such as perestroika, glasnost, being politically correct, and Thatcherism, as well as issues that have taken on greater political significance - for example, abortion and environmentalism.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone studying the social sciences !, 10 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This book is invaluable to any student of Social Science.
It contains easy to understand explanations of the
terminology used when styudying not only Politics
but also European History, socialism, the 2nd Reich,
the revolutions of the late 19th and early 20th century,
and sociology, it has very good explanations relating
to the theories and terminology used by Karl Marx.

4.0 out of 5 stars not as up-to-date as you may expect, 19 Jun 2004
By A Customer
Interesting, concise and informative, good if you are interested in history as well as politics, but nothing on recent developments. Anything after Perestroika should be looked up elsewhere.
