The economic, social and environmental systems of the world remain
in turmoil. Recent years have seen possibly irrevocable change in
the politics of Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
This entirely revised and updated 11th edition describes the
people, factions, and events that have shaped the modern world from
the Second World War to the present day. International issues and
conflicts are placed in their geographical contexts through the
integration of over one hundred maps. The political context
provided for current events will be invaluable to all those
uncertain about the changing map of Europe and Africa, conflicts in
the Middle East, and the appearances in the headlines and on our
television screens by al-Qaeda, Chechnya, the Taliban, Mercosur,
Somaliland, Kosovo, AIDS, OPEC, and Schengenland. Critical new
issues are covered including the war on terrorism, nuclear
proliferation, European Union expansion, and the pressing
environmental concerns faced by many sovereign states. This edition
provides guidance through all these recent changes (and many
more).
This book offers up-to-date coverage of all regions in great
detail. It contains an objective and concise explanation of current
events, combining maps with their geopolitical background. It
provides a clear context for events in the news, covering the
Middle East, Korea, China, the European Union, east Africa, and
every other part of the world. Revised and in print since 1957, An
Atlas of World Affairs continues to provide a valuable guide for
the student, teacher, journalist and all those interested in
current affairs and post-war political history.
