Keeping up with the ever-changing global political landscape can be daunting.
Governments of the World: A Global Guide to Citizens’ Rights and Responsibilities
is designed to make the task easier. The volumes provide accessible, authoritative
background information about governments, political issues, and citizen politics in
198 regions, including every independent nation of the world and several territo-
ries under the jurisdiction of sovereign countries. Because no nation operates in
complete isolation, Governments of the World reaches beyond regional issues to
explore the roles of international courts and supranational institutions such as the
United Nations and the European Union.
