Product DescriptionOrganized thematically rather than country-by-country, European Democracies is an introduction to the politics and governments of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. Considering the countries of Europe from both the “supranational” level of the European Union and the “subnational” level of regions, this text employs a comparative approach to survey issues ranging from parties and policy to democratization and globalization. These issues are illustrated with in-depth examples from a variety of European countries as well as examples from politics in the United States. Throughout, noted authors and scholars Markus Crepaz and Jürg Steiner treat Europe as a single but diverse entity and ask students what European politics can teach them about politics in their own country.From the Back CoverAbout the AuthorMarkus Crepaz is Professor of Political Science at the University of Georgia.Jürg Steiner is Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and the University of Bern.
