This new Handbook is a comprehensive reference guide on international relations, politics and modern world history. Starting with the concluding stages of the Second World War (including Yalta, the defeat of Germany and Japan and the birth of the United Nations) the book goes through to major events in the new post-Cold War world (such as the Serbo-Croat wars, the South Africa and the end of the Deng era in China). Throughout attention is paid to international themes such as decolonization, African nationalism and global environmentalism, as well as social and economic history (including information on inflation rates, natural disasters, and environmental issues).
