About this title

Synopsis

The second edition of "Politics and Society in Western Europe" has been totally rewritten for the 90's to provide a dynamic, student-friendly textbook with the emphasis on accessibility and the use of non-technical language and data. The coverage has been broadened and updated with greater emphasis on intergovernmental co-ordination through institutions such as the EEC. Political change is given pride of place in a treatment encompassing political sociology and an institutional framework of analysis. The theories of comparative politics and political sociology are tested against wide ranging empirical data on eleven European countries. The relationship of social divisions to politics is ludicly expounded to provide the clearest picture available of West European society and politics.

Review

Reviews of the Second Edition

`With its rich theoretical exegesis, excellent data base, provocative findings and superior comparative European bibliography, this book should prove to be a valuable tool' - Australian Journal of Political Science

`The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the topic and has been extensively revised to update its coverage of recent events. The analytical framework emphasises the legitimate operation of democratic political institutions within welfare state structures which necessitate a high degree of government involvement' - Geographical Abstracts: Human Geography
