Description  

CSA Worldwide Political Science Abstracts builds on the merged backfiles of Political Science Abstracts, 1975-2000, and ABC POL SCI, 1984-2000. The database provides citations, abstracts, and indexing of the international serials literature in political science and its complementary fields, including international relations, law, sociology, economics, and public administration/policy.

The references cited in the bibliographies of the source articles are included for all journals added since 2004, and for key journals in political science since 2001. 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.
