Description

Worldwide Political Science Abstracts builds on the merged backfiles of Political Science Abstracts, 1975-2000, and ABC POL SCI, 1984-2000.

All records added since 2000 are indexed using a thesaurus of more than 3,000 Political Science Indexing Terms. The thesaurus is available within the database.
