Gale Encyclopedia of World History: Governments provides a broad overview of national governments throughout history, explaining their structures and histories, key players and events, and how governments effect---and are affected by---social change.

In two volumes, the set is organized chronologically, by era, into chapters. Chapters include:<ul>

<li> Early Societies through Classical Civilizations
<li> Expanding Cultural Exchange
<li> Pre-Modern World
<li> Rise of the Colonial Empires
<li> Revolutions and the Emergence of Nation-States
<li> World Wars and the Rise of Modern Autocracies
<li> Postwar Era
<li> End of Colonialism
<li> Post-Communist World</ul>

Each chapter includes an introductory essay on the types of governments emerging at that time followed by government entries grouped under consistent subheads:<ul>

<li> Type of Government
<li> Background
<li> Government Structure
<li> Political Parties and Factions
<li> Major Events
<li> Aftermath OR 21st Century</ul>

I would include this in my library because of the organization, I think, is easy for the reader and the text itself is very informative.  --Library Media Connection, November 2008

This would be a good tool for secondary or college students taking comparative government courses.  Recommended.  --CHOICE, October 2008

the work is extremely informative and brings new perspectives with an unusual array of categories and rubrics.  --ARBA, March 2009
