~Researchers Exploring International Politics and Foreign Policy via EBSCOhost® Now Able to Access World Politics Review™—Alternative Analysis of Global Relations~

IPSWICH, Mass. — January 25, 2010 — EBSCO Publishing has released World Politics Review™ (WPR), a new full-text database on EBSCOhost® providing extensive coverage of international politics and foreign affairs. World Politics Review is updated daily and provides in-depth background material on global issues that are not deeply covered by mainstream media sources. WPR offers articles that synthesize expert opinion from multiple sources presenting unbiased overviews or an alternative analytical approach to global relations topics.

World Politics Review includes more than 3,000 original articles written by a network of more than 400 contributors from around the world—subject-matter experts in journalism, research organizations, academia, government and elsewhere. The resource is used by academic researchers with a serious interest in international relations, foreign affairs, world politics and geostrategy as well as foreign policy professionals working primarily within government, military, academia, intelligence and diplomacy.

World Politics Review is a vital tool for researching foreign policy, international politics and foreign affairs. The resource covers topics of key relevance including:
• Aid and Development
• Crime
• Culture
• Defense and Military
• Domestic Politics
• Economics and Business
• Homeland Security
• Human Rights
• International Law
• Political Theory
• Public Diplomacy and Propaganda
• Terrorism
• U.S. Foreign Policy
• War and Conflict
• Weapons of Mass Destruction

Content from WPR is fully linked to other full-text resources from EBSCO, enabling users to easily access the relevant analysis and match it to other full-text commentary and information. World Politics Review Publisher Hampton Stephens says World Politics Review provides expert geopolitical analysis for a global audience. “World Politics Review is designed to allow users to both closely follow and deeply understand the events, issues and trends that constitute international affairs. We do this by combining the analytical depth of a scholarly journal with a continuous publishing frequency and a variety of content formats. Being able to search WPR content alongside EBSCOhost resources provides additional context for researchers, and is an exciting extension of our capabilities and mission.” In addition to access on EBSCOhost, subscribers will have full access to content on the World Politics Review website (www.worldpoliticsreview.com).
