Political Science Package

Charting political, economic, social and cultural changes on a scale not seen elsewhere, our Politics Collection combines seminal works that influence current thinking and research. Representing a selection of our most influential titles, they promote a critical analysis of systems and influences across Central and Eastern Europe, and contain a core selection of titles for your library. This package is ideal for libraries with a focus on an interdisciplinary collection, supporting a wide range of researchers with in-depth literature. Titles illustrate prominent past and present political trends with major influence on regional and international politics. Audiences: students, researchers, lecturers. Contains titles with reading-list potential.

Shown in table are annual fees in EUR (Euro, €) / GBP (Pound Sterling, £) / USD (US Dollars, $), excluding VAT.

Due to rising publication costs, a 5% annual increase has been applied for annual payments.

If you would like to prepay your entire 3 year subscription, please let us know. The 3 year prepayment option benefits from a fixed annual price – there is a single initial 5% rise in January 2024 but beyond that no year-on-year annual price increase is factored in for the term of the membership.

Invoices for Europe are handled by the Press, and Rest of World institutions are processed via Lyrasis, a trusted non-profit library sector partner based in the USA. Lyrasis will process the invoices in USD, using the exchange rate valid on the day of order. Invoices for the UK are handled by Jisc. Access to titles will be provided within one month of payment.
