Government and Politics in Western Europe: Britain, France, Italy, Germany (Comparative European Politics) Tapa dura - 1998

Información de la editorial

This text offers a clear and accessible comparative introduction to the political institutions of Western Europe's four largest countries: Britain, France, Italy, and Germany. The third edition of this student textbook has been thoroughly revised to cover not only developments at national level, but also the growing integration of national politics with the politics of the European Union, including: two new chapters on the European Union which set the EU in the context of the national political systems studied elsewhere in the book, supplying a concise but thorough introduction to European institutions, and presenting the main theoretical perspectives on the EU; an extensive updating covering such events as the Left's election victories of 1997 in Britain and France and the collapse of the Italian party system in the mid-1990s; and new tables and diagrams providing valuable reference material for key facts and processes."
