Written by a team of leading political scientists, the Concise Dictionary of Politics contains more than 1,700 entries, including new materials on topics such as NGOs, butterfly ballots, decentralization, ethnic cleansing, and direct action. Covering political thinkers, institutions, and concepts, the dictionary has an international perspective. Appendices list the political leaders of a range of countries and international institutions.
Bought at Lancaster University Bookshop after my visiting my daughter there. While she was doing something else in the library, I spent several hours researching the political system and politics in the USA and used a library copy of the book amongst others.
Useful and another book that I've kept rather than recycle to Oxfam under their Tag the Bag scheme.
