International Handbook of Political Science

'œA much-needed and recent international assessment of political science can be found in this new handbook that updates the only other global survey, published more than thirty years ago in Contemporary Political Science (Unesco, 1950). ... The heart of the book consists of twenty-six country chapters in which noted political scientists assess the state of the discipline in their native countries and offer bibliographic listings for further reading. Five appendices present valuable statistical and directory information. A bibliography of works on political science in countries not included in the handbook, a combined name and subject index, and a list of tables and figures complete the volume. Libraries will find the chief reference value of the handbook in the great wealth of bibliographical, analytical, and statistical information expertly arranged for easy retrieval by any student of the discipline.'' RQWilliam G.
