Campus Dictionary of International Security

Description

The Campus Dictionary of International Security is the first in an extensive series of student dictionaries that will cover a wide range of subjects—from the Social Sciences to the Humanities to Pure and Applied Sciences—taught in universities throughout the world.  It is edited by three of the foremost global authories, all based at Chatham House, London, the leading international think-tank on international security

Campus dictionaries are differentiated from other subject-dictionaries because they focus on advanced secondary-school and university students, who have distinctly more sophisticated needs than the general reader.  These dictionaries offer a broader repertoire of technical terms and concepts than are provided by current dictionaries or the non-peer-reviewed definitions available on the Internet.

Campus dictionaries will provide distinct benefits to students in the selection of terms to be defined, the extent and thoroughness of the definitions, and the authority of the writing (reputable contributors who will be identified by name and position).
