Many changes have occurred in the world's political arena in the seven years since the publication of the third edition of World Encyclopedia of Political Systems and Parties . This fourth edition provides a revised, updated, and comprehensive look at the world's political structure.

Alphabetically arranged by country, the set covers the governments and political parties in 196 nations. There are 66 expert contributors, half of whom also contributed to the third edition. Some of the entries have been totally rewritten by new authors, and those that have been revised list the names of both the original author and the reviser. Each entry begins with an introduction or basic description of the country. Next, the executive, legislative, and judicial branches are discussed as well as the regional and local government structure. A section on the electoral system discusses suffrage, voter registration, balloting procedures, and voter turnout.

If the country has a multiparty system, the next section begins with a brief overview of the system. Both major and minor parties are examined, with information on their history, organization, policy, campaigns, and so on. If the country only has one official party, then information is given for any existing significant opposition. The next section focuses on other institutions or groups, such as the armed forces and organized labor, that have considerable influence in the political arena. Prospects for continuing or attaining political stability are considered in the last section of each entry.

Entries also include organization charts and brief bibliographies. Some entries have additional tables of information such as election results. Articles vary in length, more from the relative importance of the country rather than the complexity of its political system. The index is located in volume 3, with boldface page numbers indicating the main entries.

This work is intended for grades 9 and up and is recommended for high-school, academic, and public libraries. Even if a library owns previous editions, this update would be a good purchase in order to stay abreast of the many changes in world politics. kaye talley
