effects

Political attitudes and values along with belief systems and institutions serve to influence political culture in a variety of ways that vary within states and between states. To research such topics, an understanding of national and subnational histories is essential. For many countries survey data is extremely limited; rather one must rely upon other documentation such as that created by social movements, political parties, ethnic organizations, women's groups, and indigenous peoples. Princeton University Library holds materials of this type for many parts of the world. For assistance to bibliographically identify such documentation, and to understand conceptually what is involved with conducting research on specific parts of the world, subject specialists are available: Africa: Nancy Pressman pressman@princeton.edu Latin America: Fernando Acosta-Rodriguez, facosta@princeton.edu Near East and North Africa: James Weinberger jwwein@princeton.edu Russia and Eastern Europe: Nina Shapiro nshapiro@princeton.edu China, Japan, Korea and other East Asian Countries Staff of the East Asian Library |
