Drawing on the work of Arend Lijphart, this book focuses on
consensus democracies. These democracies entail a complex set of
democratic institutional and conventional arrangements and can be
regarded as a product of path-dependent development towards a
national culture of compromise and bargaining. Taking a
multi-dimensional and multi-spatial approach, this book examines
the West central European consensus democracies of Austria,
Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Switzerland, over the past 40
years. Magone examines how these democracies have been transformed
by Europeanization thrusts and global turbulence yet are able to
maintain political stability. It provides historical context
including the different phases of transformation: the golden period
(1945-1979); disorganised capitalism (1979-1993); and
re-equilibration (1993-). It includes chapters on political
culture, government, parliament, the rise of populism and political
parties, subnational government, and the political economy and
concludes deliberating on the relevance of consensus democracies'
experiences for the future of European and global governance. Based
on original research, this book will be of strong interest to
students and scholars of comparative politics, European government,
West European politics, the politics of small states in Europe, and
those with a particular interest in the politics of Austria,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
