pessimo
Reviewed in Italy on 6 February 2017Verified Purchase
Spiega solo dal punto di vista americano. Utile solo per studenti americani, non ci sono elementi di rel. int. europee e se ci sono sono pochissime. Poco utile!

A must for students and readers of history and politics
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2013Verified Purchase
Found this in University Library.
Explains those often used but not really understood words used in the subjects of history and international relations.
Combined with a good dictionary this book enables through its clear and guiding style the reader to enter into areas of discussion and research that previously would be daunting to say the least.

とても詳しく解説
Reviewed in Japan on 4 August 2003Verified Purchase
それぞれのentryにはその事柄の歴史的背景が詳しく解説されており、辞書としてと使用もよいが、読み物としても重宝すると思う。但し、あくまでも辞書であり、その語の解釈は文脈や使う人によっても異なり、この辞書の定義をいつも当てはめることは出来ないことは、当然でしょう。基礎知識を固めるためには十分すぎるくらいに役立つ。

Useful and Informative Reference
Reviewed in the United States on 4 May 2003Verified Purchase
The specialized and highly referential language of serious studies in international relations and foreign policy demands a great deal of the unschooled student of these subjects. This is why I strongly recommend this companion resource. Evans and Newnham have written a necessary and highly readable guide to the events, terminology, and ideas that form the basis of studies in these and related fields today. The entries are arranged alphabetically with each topical mini-essay extensively cross-referencing its contents. An ambitious reader could easily spend hours bouncing randomly throughout the book following down ideas and phrases marked in the previous entry. While not intended to be read from cover-to-cover, it is a pleasant and informative exercise, because the entries are coherently developed essays with no shortage of detail. First published in 1998, Penguin should now consider a revision. After the events of September 11th, 2001, it seems a bit odd to read an entry on terrorism that is even a bit shorter than one on the Olympic Games. Perhaps a new edition of this fine book will note President George W. Bush's commencement address at the United States Military Academy at West Point (June, 2002), and how it evolves the notion of America's Cold War reliance on deterrence and containment to a policy of pre-emptive deterrence as seen in the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq.
