This major textbook provides a comprehensive and scholarly account
of the changing political map of Europe as it emerges from the Cold
War.
After considering the different types of states and nations that
have existed, the volume focuses on the changing forms of
democracy, and the shift from public ownership and planning to
privatization and deregulated competition in Europe. Further
chapters explore challenges to party systems and elections from the
emergence of new social movements and organized interest groups. In
addition, political and bureaucratic structures are examined, as
well as the new constitutionalism reflected in the increasing role
of the judiciary. Finally, the book concentrates on a number of key
themes in European politics: the changing basis of foreign and
security policy, the role of industrial champion firms and the
retreat from the welfare state.
Throughout, the authors' treatment is comparative and the role of
major states is specifically discussed along with the increasing
part played by the European Union. This allows the authors to avoid
both exaggerating the common features of the patterns that have
emerged in contemporary Europe and capitulating to the complexity
of enduring differences.
Written by leading authorities in the field of European politics,
"Governing the New Europe "is one of the standard texts in the
field.
