Dictionary of Contemporary Germany by Tristam Carrington-Windo,Katrin Kohl Pdf

A series of dictionaries on the contemporary milieu of the world's most important countries. The Contemporary Country Dictionary series are not tourist guides--though tourists with a serious interest in countries they are visiting will find them of great help in learning more about these societies. These alphabetical reference guides have been compiled to give up-to-date information on all aspects of each country--explanations of terms that are outside the scope of a standard dictionary or encyclopedia--including acronyms, political and legal institutions, cultural phenomena, social welfare programs, industrial concerns, media, literary and political personalities, and much more. Each Dictionary has been compiled by two people--a native of the individual country and an English-speaking collaborator from either Great Britain or the United States. Readers are thus assured of authoritative information that is rendered in terms comprehensible to English-language readers. The Dictionaries will prove invaluable to researchers, librarians, and students.

Beginner's Dictionary of Contemporary International Relations by Bhaso Ndzendze Pdf

As if by some natural law, international politics is an ever-changing process of states and non-state actors going about pursuing their diverse and sometimes conflicting and sometimes converging interests; but some factors, patterns and insights remain unmoved, or in the very least remain relevant both for assessing the present and prognosticating the future. Objectively and accessibly written, the Beginner's Dictionary of Contemporary International Relations unpacks the origins and occurrences of the following in a manner that allows the reader to be able to formulate or improve on their understanding of modern international relations: * Past and contemporary events and policies which have shaped and continue to shape present-day international politics and international political economy. * International organisations and movements whose activities have had an influence in international relations in both the political and economic spheres. * Transnational issues currently facing today's statesmen and the global community at large, including conflict, nuclear proliferation, human rights matters and economic development. * Personalities involved in international relations scholarship and in policymaking who have shaped and are perhaps presently shaping international politics. * Theories, concepts and models of representing, understanding, and perhaps conducting international relations.

Historical Dictionary of Socialism by James C. Docherty,Peter Lamb, Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations, Staffordshire University, UK Pdf

Primarily concerned with the historical roots and contemporary condition of socialism, the second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Socialism offers information on writers, activists, ideas, political parties, institutions, and movements that sought_and in many cases are still seeking_to change the social and political order. It reflects the diversity in the broad movement of the left, the many variants of which include reformist social democracy, revolutionary Marxism, the New Left, and contemporary anti-capitalism. Taking up where the first edition left off, this thoroughly revised dictionary shows how socialism has been reacting, reforming and also expanding. This is done through a chronology, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and a cross-referenced dictionary section with 114 new entries, some on the current leadership, others on the many new parties of Central and Eastern Europe and the Third World, and yet others on the reaction to globalization. This book will provide a mine of information for teachers and students of political ideologies, comparative politics, political sociology, labor history, and political theory.
