4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Guide to Spanish Institutions and Modern History,
This review is from: Contemporary Spain: A Handbook (Paperback)
The strength of this book is that it provides a detailed overview of Contemporary Spain in modern context. Obtaining a copy of this book saves busy people time in finding specific information regarding the legal framework of the Spanish state and institutions, political parties, media, regional subsidiarity, economy, environment, education, social welfare and even law and order. If you then find you have the time and the need for greater depth, viewing the indispensable list of books for further reading, as suggested by Professor Ross at the back, will provide you with ample choice of information sources. Ideal for busy people, pressed university or college students on busy overloaded courses, and anyone with an interest in learning more about the way Spain is run.
