Welcome to the subject guide for PSC 300!
Use the tabs above or the links below for a quick guide to some specially selected resources from Syracuse University Libraries for this course. Here's an overview of the contents:
Europa World
Background on countries including political and economic information in over 250 countries and territories, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
E.I.U. Economist Intelligence Unit
Objective and timely analysis and forecasts of the political, economic and business environment for almost 200 countries. Also produces in-depth annual country commerce reports. E.I.U.'s reporting is more lengthy than Europa World's briefer, encyclopedia style content.
CQ Researcher - A terrifically concise source of historical background discussion, major policy players, chronologies and references to further readings and websites. Most CQ Researcher reports cover domestic U.S. politics. However, relevant encyclopedia style overviews pertinent to this PSC 300 course will be available in response to entry of search words such as "European Union," "Turkey" or "Arab World." PSC 300 students may also wish to explore some of the websites appearing under the "contacts" segment of each relevant CQR report.
