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.
