European Democracies

"European Democracies" is a survey of European politics. Using a topical approach the author looks at various situations in European politics and compares them with similar experiences in American politics. This second edition has been updated to take into account the political changes in central and Eastern Europe in 1989 and the consequent 1990 elections. It also looks closely at German unification and considers the women's movement in Europe. It contains clippings on each chapter topic and encourages the understanding of principles rather than the learning of facts. It is designed to be a reference text for graduate and undergraduate students in political science, European politics, European studies and for any reader generally interested in European politics.
