A revised edition, rewritten to cover the collapse of communism, the extension of democracy in the Second and Third Worlds and the growing internationalization of political and economic life. The book has been redesigned and includes an extended range of international examples and exhibits.
Long established as the leading text in the field, the new edition has been comprehensively updated and rewritten. Accessible, student-friendly and truly international in its coverage, this edition includes more on authoritarian states as well as a much wider variety of country studies more generally.
