Synopsis

What constitutes Europe today? Is there an identifiable European ture that transcends state boundaries? How do the various national political, economic, and social structures and institutions work? To what extent does the European Union influence policy in the region for members and nonmembers alike? Stephen Wright’s comprehensive discussion of contemporary European politics addresses these fundamental questions in a book that notably encompasses all of Europe, from the UK to the Russian Federation.

Both thematic and comparative, with numerous examples used to illustrate key points, Politics and Society in Contemporary Europe integrates political, economic, and social factors to provide a thorough—and accessible—text.
