Description

"Government and Politics in Western Europe" is the first volume in the Comparative European Politics series. It offers an analysis of four major European democratic systems - those of the UK, France, Italy and West Germany - which combines theoretical approaches with empirical material. Organized around themes rather than countries, the book includes chapters on political cleavages, political parties and pressure groups, governmental institutions and constitutional courts and is illustrated with a wealth of concrete examples. This English edition has been revised by the author to include fuller discussion of the French system for a British audience.
