Europe Contested analyses the failures and achievements of an
astonishing era of economic advance and political chaos, from the
First World War up to the present day. Beginning with the Great
War, the book goes on to examine connections between the
self-destruction of liberal democracy, market economics, and the
international political and security framework in the interwar
period. It then considers the mass politics that surrounded the
glorification of new-style leaders Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, and
Hitler before moving on to explore the ways in which the interwar
legacy was superseded post-1945. James examines the deceptive
appearance of stability brought by a new convergence in European
politics that focused around the market and the principle of
liberal democracy, and demonstrates how the impact of globalization
and openness to migration and to destabilizing financial capital
flows has eroded traditional politics and ended the stable
left-right polarization at the core of the postwar order. This new
edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, demonstrating also
how an era of crisis is challenging Europe and its values.
Supported by boxed case studies, illustrations, chronologies and an
annotated bibliography, and focusing on Europe as a whole, it is
the perfect introduction for students of Modern European History.
