POLI 1101 Research Guide: Country Studies: Resources in the Library

Resources for finding basic political, social, historical, and economic information and data about various countries.

Reference Books

The Statesman's Yearbook

This resource includes key historical events, population, city profiles, social statistics, information on climate, recent elections, current leaders, defence, international relations, economy, energy and natural resources, industry, international trade, religion, culture, and diplomatic representatives, as well as fact sheets on every country in the world.

PLEASE NOTE:

We have found an error in the yearbook where the country index stops at Germany and the Table of Contents search only works on the countries listed.  We have contacted the supplier who is trying to fix it.  While the Table of Contents does not work, you can scroll through the book to find your country of interest.  Until the problem is resolved we have created a list below to let you locate your country and then use the page search feature to type in the right page for your country.

Also, due to copyright, the book can only be used by one person at a time.  If you cannot open it, please try again later.

The 2019 edition is also available.
