Sources on World Affairs
Most sources I use are regional in focus, and they are listed on the appropriate regional page. Listed here are primarily sources for analysis and background information (rather than daily headlines). Some sources on the domestic politics page also cover the world.
Le Monde DiplomatiqueMonthly paper from Paris, available both as print and online by subscription. Insightful. Material you don't find in the U.S. press. Subscribe for access to all content. Especially recommended. (Up 9/9/06; posted 7/8/00)

Country Studies The Area Handbook series, a volume on each country. One of the great sources of information on the world, published by our government, and it isn't propaganda. Covers politics, history, economics and offers the ever-popular table of ranks and insignia for the armed forces (this used to be a U.S. Army publication series.) Of course, the series was terminated in 1998. Stupid. Typical. Becoming dated, but valuable. Especially recommended. (Up 9/9/06; posted 7/8/00)
