Comprising an extensive overhaul of the original Encyclopedia of the World's Nations, this edition provides concise and objective descriptions of the dominant political, economic, social, and cultural systems of the countries of the world. It features 193 country-by-country surveys in 40 separate categories, as well as tables, charts, and lists that are linked with narrative accounts of each nation's peoples, history, government, society, and culture.
