DESCRIPTION

In this expanded, updated edition, the authors add a chapter on new structures of parliaments. They also reflect on recent developments in Germany since unification and reactions of most European countries to continued economic scarcity and public skepticism about government. European Politics Reconsidered documents the evolutionary political processes in Europe to provide a way of understanding a trajectory of its political future.
