Most of the books used for the study of Politics and International Relations are located on Level 1 West of the Singleton Park Library. The classmark for these books is J. However you will find that other books in different sections of the library will also be useful. Many books relating to Politics and Government in Wales (devolved government, the National Assembly etc.) are located in the Welsh Collection on Level 1 West and have the classmark W/J. Some books on the European Union are in the HC section on Level 2 West. Some books on military strategy and nuclear proliferation etc. are located in the U section which is on Level 1 East. Some books on International Law and Human Rights are at KC in the Law Library on Level 4 East. You will probably find books about modern history (in the range C-F on Level 2 West) of interest also.
Most politics journals can be found in the range J-JZ on Level 1 West (e.g. JA1 Political Science; JK1 American Government; JN1 Political Institutions and administration).
