It is accompanied by three indexes: phonetic index, subject index, and foreign language index.
Key Features of the Book:
1. The dictionary includes 466 entries on contemporary Western political theory, covering important schools of thought, ideas, figures, works, and concepts in contemporary political science.
2. Most entries have one meaning per entry. If an entry has multiple meanings, it is explained in the text.
3. All entries are arranged in phonetic order according to Chinese Pinyin. Characters with the same pronunciation but different tones are arranged in order of tone. Entries with the same first character in Pinyin are arranged in order of the second character, and so on.
4. Each entry is followed by its English translation, except for some entries where an English translation could not be found.
5. The translations of names for figure entries follow the conventional practice of listing the surname first and the given name second. For entries that are difficult to standardize, standard transliteration is used.
6. At the end of the main text of the dictionary, an "Important Reference Bibliography" is included, listing relevant important reference materials for each entry in the order of the entries in the main text, numbered for easy reference.
7. The dictionary is supplemented with an "Index of Foreign Language Entries" and a "Subject Index of Entries" to facilitate readers in finding entries quickly through different methods.
