Description
The second edition of this very successful textbook updates and expands its coverage of the many facets of life in Europe in the new century. It retains the strengths of the first edition with its focus on both East and West but expands its coverage of the themes of convergence and divergence, and includes a new chapter on the European Economy. It asks 'what is Europe' and 'where is Europe going' and challenges preconceived notions and glib generalizations.
Reviews / Votes
"'The book offers a very clear introduction to a wide variety of important themes concerning the development of Europe over the past decade, with an excellent balance between general material and illustrative, detailed case studies.'-Dr John Greenaway, Senior Lecturer, University of East Anglia, UK 'The second edition is even better than the first - a really comprehensive approach to the whole of Europe from social, political, economic and cultural perspectives, at an analytical level that postgraduate students will appreciate while being fully accessible to new undergraduates.' - June Burnham, Senior Lecturer in European Government, Middlesex University, UK"More details
