- The Third Edition of this acclaimed work is an invaluable guide to the complex ideology/terminology which surrounds the world of politics. It includes well over 500 extensive definitions and defines political theories, dogmas and phraseologies, shedding light on ideas and institutions frequently referred to in the media, but rarely understood by the non-specialist. Terms such as peace-keeping, proportional representation, jihad, son of star wars, third way and consensual politics are explained clearly and succinctly. The dictionary is invaluable for anyone concerned with politics or current affairs.
