This text examines patterns of interregional and international politics, covering six regions: Western Europe, Russia and Slavic Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa. Each region is covered in a two-chapter sequence, looking at geography, history, culture, and other factors that create the political setting for politics, and examining political institutions and the policies and prospects of key countries in each region. This fourth edition is condensed, with 14 chapters rather than the original 21. New boxes discuss democracy in America, hypothetical cases, and Web sites of interest. Author information is not given. c. Book News Inc.
