Dictionary of Government and Politics

The "Dictionary of Government and Politics"--now in its second edition--covers the broadly defined fields of government and politics and that which affects them; it includes wide-ranging definitions of national legislatures, elections, local government, parliamentary and council procedures, intra-national affairs, and political parties and political theories. A feature of this second edition is a phonetic pronunciation guide for all headwords, of which there are now more than 8,000--and definitions now include both quotations and examples. A special supplement covers and explains the differences between the political and legislative systems in the United States and Great Britain; thus, this valuable resource not only defines government and politics but provides comparisons of the political systems and government structures of the world's two greatest democracies.Collin, Peter Hodgson is the author of 'Dictionary of Government and Politics' with ISBN 9780948549052 and ISBN 094854905X.
