Politics, policy & the chance of change

The Conversation Yearbook 2015

John Watson
Continued political and economic turbulence, pervasive threats of terrorism and climate change: 2015 fits the bill for a challenging year.
Continued political and economic turbulence, pervasive threats of terrorism and climate change: 2015 was a testing year.
