Description
The assassination of Pim Fortuyn and his party's dramatic gains in the May 2002 general election made Dutch politics front page news around the world. This substantialy revised, fully updated and expanded successor to the author's "Dutch Government and Politics" looks behind the headlines to provide a comprehensive introduction to governance and politics in the Netherlands. The authors explore the causes, impact and advantages of the quest for consensus, which remains its most striking characteristic, and provide full coverage of developments and events.
