The previous edition of this directory extended its coverage of the
Far East, Australasia and Latin America, areas previously
under-represented. For this new edition emphasis has been given to
increasing the number of entries for organizations from Britain,
the United States and Australia, and particular attention has been
paid to new political organizations in Central and Eastern Europe
and the former Soviet Union. The number of entries included has
gone up to over 68,000 of which over 9,000 are new or amended.
Cross-references from defunct organizations in the previous edition
have been deleted, and references (indicated by ex and now) added
for organizations which have changed their name since the previous
edition. As before, the range of organizations included is broad
and only purely local organizations have been excluded. This
directory therefore lists official and unofficial organizations,
national and international, on all SUbjects: political, economic
and social. Acronyms of parent bodies of subsidiary organizations
are given where appropriate and equivalencies are used to link
acronyms in different languages for the same organization. Further
information about the organizations listed can be found in the
sources listed in the bibliography. I would like to thank Henry
Heaney and Graeme Mackintosh for their advice, and David Grinyer
for his technical support. L. M. Pitman Bibliography Adams, R.
