This volume is one in a continuing series of books
prepared by
the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress
under the
Country Studies/Area Handbook Program sponsored by the
Department
of the Army. The last two pages of this book list the
other
published studies.
Most books in the series deal with a particular foreign
country, describing and analyzing its political, economic,
social,
and national security systems and institutions, and
examining the
interrelationships of those systems and the ways they are
shaped by
cultural factors. The authors seek to provide a basic
understanding
of the observed society, striving for a dynamic rather
than a
static portrayal. Particular attention is devoted to the
people who
make up the society, their origins, dominant beliefs and
values,
their common interests and the issues on which they are
divided,
the nature and extent of their involvement with national
institutions, and their attitudes toward each other and
toward
their social system and political order.
The books represent the analysis of the authors and
should not
be construed as an expression of an official United States
government position, policy, or decision. The authors have
sought
to adhere to accepted standards of scholarly objectivity.
Corrections, additions, and suggestions for changes from
readers
will be welcomed for use in future editions.
