Author Description
This one volume handbook provides the most comprehensive and detailed statistical guide available to the government and politics of the twenty-four countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The editors have sifted through many hundreds of sources to select the essential facts and figures on population, social structure, employment, the economy, public finance, government structures, and political parties from 1950 to 1985. In addition, they provide social and economic background for each of the countries covered to enable the data to be put in context.
