Synopsis

"European Democracies" is a survey of European politics. Using a topical approach the author looks at various situations in European politics and compares them with similar experiences in American politics. This second edition has been updated to take into account the political changes in central and Eastern Europe in 1989 and the consequent 1990 elections. It also looks closely at German unification and considers the women's movement in Europe. It contains clippings on each chapter topic and encourages the understanding of principles rather than the learning of facts. It is designed to be a reference text for graduate and undergraduate students in political science, European politics, European studies and for any reader generally interested in European politics.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

With his new co-author, Markus Crepaz, Jurg Steiner has brought this best-selling text completely up-to-date.  Using a comparative approach, the text crosses national and political boundaries in its coverage of Europe.  Starting with detailed coverage of the basic differences between Europe and the United States in a new introductory chapter, the revision puts Europe in a global perspective and no longer divides its coverage between Western and Eastern Europe:  Europe is now treated as a single entity.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This topical examination of Western, Central, and Eastern European political institutions emphasizes the nation state and supranational level of European Union and subnational level of the regions. Using a comparative approach, the text crosses national and political boundaries and, whenever possible, likens the European situation to American government. Updated throughout, the Fourth Edition has expanded coverage of the European Union from one chapter to three and includes accessible passages from leading journals.
