Opis

The International Directory of Government is the definitive guide to people in power in every part of the world. All the top decision-makers are included in this one-volume publication, which brings together government institutions, agencies and personnel from the largest nations (China, India, Russia, etc.) to the smallest overseas dependencies (Guadeloupe, Guernsey and Christmas Island, etc).

Institutional entries contain the names and titles of principal officials, postal, email and internet addresses, telephone, and fax numbers and other relevant details.

New for 2011

• turbulent events in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, Yemen and Syria
• historic elections in Myanmar, Ireland, Haiti and Canada
• mid-term elections in the USA
• complex political developments in Iraq, Pakistan, Lebanon, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal and Cote d'Ivoire.

• information on all US state governers and legislatures
• coverage of state-related agencies and other institutions arranged by subject heading
