Treaties and Alliances of the World was first published in 1968 and is our oldest title. The current edition is the 8th (2007). The new edition is a unique one-volume guide to the international system, concise and factual in style and comprehensive in range. Here can be found everything from detailed descriptions of major bodies such as the UN, IMF, EU and NATO to potted accounts of hosts of lesser-known international and regional bodies and treaties. The book also contains information-packed summaries of major topics involving international treaties and organizations, including global warming, energy security and OPEC, the invasion of Iraq, the Middle East peace process, peacekeeping missions in Africa, EU enlargement, the issue of nuclear weapons and North Korea and Iran...and many more.
