This short and simple introduction to European politics, which
includes Western and Eastern Europe as well as Russia, demonstrates
how European nations have attempted to cope with division within
Europe and in international politics. Highlighting differences with
U.S. politics, Slomp examines the European system from various
perspectives, including geography, religion, economics, and social
composition. Two separate chapters discuss relations within the
European Union as well as its interaction with nations outside the
group. Tables and figures provide a wealth of information on the
location of minorities, the ideological spectrum, and social
policies.
Directed toward both an American and a European readership, this
study includes information about the importance of ethnicity and
religion, the impact of new migration waves, and the position of
the labor movement. It covers the role of political parties, the
Americanization of election campaigns, and the prevalence of
coalition governments. A chapter on European style civil society
focuses on the influence of pressure groups, the popularity of
formal business/trade union/government contracts, the mass media,
local politics, and federal political systems. Every chapter deals
with the social transformation of the former communist countries of
Central and Eastern Europe. A final section contains a brief
description of all the nations by groupings.
