Extremely helpful. I bought this when I was working my way through open University module A200 exploring history: Medieval to Modern, 1400-1900.

معجم أكسفورد للسياسة حصلت عليه من مكتبة «كينوكونيا» في دبي ووجدت أننا في اللغة العربية نعرف كل المصطلحات السياسية المعاصرة .

Bought at Lancaster University Bookshop after my visiting my daughter there. While she was doing something else in the library, I spent several hours researching the political system and politics in the USA and used a library copy of the book amongst others.

Useful and another book that I've kept rather than recycle to Oxfam under their Tag the Bag scheme.
