Hur fungerar politiska system? Hur är de utformade och hur skiljer de sig åt länder emellan? I denna bok beskrivs hur politiska system är uppbyggda i elva länder: Storbritannien, Frankrike, Tyskland, USA, Brasilien, Indien, Kenya, Ryssland, Kina, Iran och Sydafrika. Varje land presenteras med sin politiska historia, regeringsform, statsform, partisystem och partier samt valsystem och val – allt för att möjliggöra och underlätta jämförelser. Texterna beskriver också politisk utveckling och pågående förändringar i respektive land.Komparativ politik: Elva politiska system ges här ut i en uppdaterad fjärde upplaga. Boken riktar sig till studenter i statsvetenskap och andra ämnen där en förståelse för politiska system har en central roll. I boken tillämpas de begrepp och modeller för politiska system som presenteras i Komparativ politik: Institutioner och beteende (Studentlitteratur 2024). Tillsammans ger dessa två böcker studenten en fördjupad förståelse för komparativ politik utifrån empiriska och teoretiska perspektiv.

The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on “Radiation and Envir- mental Safety in North-West Russia — Use of Impact Assessments and Risk Estimation” was held in Moscow, Russia on December 8 - 10, 2004. The workshop was sponsored by the NATO Science Committee and N- wegian Radiation Protection Authority (NRPA) and organised jointly by Rostechnadzor and NRPA. The objective of this workshop was to examine how scientific research and environmental studies, including the effects and distribution of radiation and radionuclides, can contribute to development of practical standards for protection of the environment and human health. The intention was to s- port operators and regulators involved in radioactive waste management projects in Northwest Russia. The workshop attracted wide participation from relevant Russian and western organizations. International expertise from several related fields went together to produce a thorough understanding of the present status and how to develop the use of overall risk assessments and environmental impact assessments to ensure a sound use of resources when carrying out the tremendous work that must be carried out to clean up the cold war l- acy. Important conclusions and recommendations have been produced and set out in the main report, providing a good basis for further development. Such development should note that safety and environmental performance can be addressed at three levels: a) Compliance-focused; b) Beyond compliance, towards best practice; and c) Continuous improvement.
