EUROPEAN HISTORY / POLITICS & GOVERNMENT

EUROPEAN POLITICS RECONSIDERED

In this expanded, updated edition, the authors add a chapter on new structures of parliaments. They also reflect on recent developments in Germany since unification and reactions of most European countries to continued economic scarcity and public skepticism about government. European Politics Reconsidered documents the evolutionary political processes in Europe to provide a way of understanding a trajectory of its political future.

"This timely book examines the dynamic nature of politics in Europe and the patterns that appear to be emerging as social, economic, and political transformations accelerate in the last decades of the twentieth century.
