Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

A variety of factors that affect politics in Australia are examined, such as globalisation, the media and the internet, security and terrorism, as well as the basic aspects of Australian politics that must be addressed in a first year text.
