The American National Election Studies (ANES) is the definitive study of American political attitudes and behavior. The project has surveyed American citizens before and after every presidential election since 1948. With a time series of core questions asked continuously across many elections, these surveys provide a window onto the sweep and the pivot points of historic change in American public opinion. In recent studies, new questions comprise about 30 percent of each survey, allowing users to understand contemporary issues that might be driving American political dynamics. This visual history of the ANES was written on the occasion of its 75th anniversary.

"Dieser Beitrag widmet sich der Entwicklung der Afrikaforschung in Polen und den Herausforderungen, vor denen sie steht, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Politik- und Wirtschaftswissenschaft. Die Autoren legen dar, dass die derzeitige Debatte in Polen zu Gegenstand und Zielen der Afrikaforschung durch die historische Entwicklung dieses Forschungsgebiets im Land geprägt und begrenzt ist. Sie stellen die beiden konkurrierenden Interpretationen zum Gegenstandsbereich der Afrikaforschung vor sowie die aktuellen Herausforderungen und Hoffnungen der polnischen Afrikawissenschaftler. Sie argumentieren, die Afrikaforschung diene zwar als gemeinsamer Nenner und regionenbezogene Plattform zum Austausch von Forschungsergebnissen, dies führe aber nicht notwendigerweise zur Integration innerhalb der Forscher-Community und/ oder zu verbesserter Kommunikation. Paradoxerweise gelte die Diagnose zum Zustand der polnischen Afrikaforschung, die Jan Halpern vor 50 Jahren formulierte, auch heute noch: Polnische Afrikawissenschaftler gingen im Allgemeinen davon aus, dass weitere Fortschritte ihrer Arbeit vor allem von der besseren Koordination ihrer Forschungen und von engerem Kontakt zu Spezialisten im Ausland abhingen."

Food aid is a controversial form of development assistance and this book, first published in 1979, seeks to counter allegations from critics by taking account of both direct and indirect affects.

In the light of the evidence from field studies it is shown that many of the claims advanced by food aid s
