Information on each country covers up-to-date social and economic data (including ethnic, religious and political features), political history, current political system in operation and biographical details of major political figures since the war. Part III is devoted to colonies dependencies and semi-sovereign states plus an examination of the world's political and defence associations and groupings. All the material is supported with a wealth of maps, tables and data sources.
