This topical examination of Western, Central, and Eastern European political institutions emphasizes the nation state and supranational level of European Union and subnational level of the regions. Using a comparative approach, the text crosses national and political boundaries and, whenever possible, likens the European situation to American government. Updated throughout, the Fourth Edition has expanded coverage of the European Union from one chapter to three and includes accessible passages from leading journals.
