"This collection of non-partisan reports written by award-winning CQ Researcher journalists focuses on provocative current policy issues. As an annual publication that comes together just months before it goes to press, the volume is as up-to-date as possible. And because it's CQ Researcher, the policy reports are expertly researched and written, showing all sides of an issue. Chapters follow a consistent organization--exploring three issue questions, then offering background, current context, and a look ahead--and feature a pro/con debate box. All issues include a chronology, bibliography, photos, charts, and figures."--Publisher's website
