Book Description

080131769X 978-0801317699 August 8, 1997 4
This topical examination of Western, Central, and Eastern European political institutions emphasizes the nation state and supranational level of European Union and subnational level of the regions. Using a comparative approach, the text crosses national and political boundaries and, whenever possible, likens the European situation to American government. Updated throughout, the Fourth Edition has expanded coverage of the European Union from one chapter to three and includes accessible passages from leading journals.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This is a truly comparative textbook. Organized not by countries but by concepts, Crepaz and Steiner stimulate students to reflect on the possible explanations for key differences among European democracies and between Europe and the United States. An excellent basis for creative and vivid class discussions.”–Arend Lijphart, University of California-San Diego

4.0 out of 5 stars A strong primer on European democracy, January 16, 2012

This book was required as part of a West European Politics course. I am glad the instructor adopted it, as the book carefully explored the intricacies of European democracy. The authors did a good job of combining theoretical and practical information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read, May 27, 2009
I was required to read this book for class. It did a nice job of providing information without being too dry. One thing I noticed is even though it is a book on Europe it brings up the US frequently.
