Summary: "The first edition of this book was published in 2006, before the financial crash of 2008, Obama's election in the USA, Trump's unexpected win in 2016, Brexit, the war in Syria, and the rapid rise of refugees and migrants all over the world. In 2006 many western countries were beginning to register a decline in voting, party identification and political trust but it was too soon to say whether these were temporary fluctuations or the onset of longer-term trends. Some of the large parties of the centre ground were losing support and minor parties were appearing on the scene, but few managed to overtake the weakened major ones. Separatist movements were active all over the world, often many different ones in the same country, but most were small, even tiny, and success was rare. The troubles in Northern Ireland had been calmed by the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 and Kosovo gained its independence two years later. Nationalist movements were active in Catalonia and Scotland but nowhere near their future

内容説明・目次

内容説明

Now in its fourth edition, this textbook gives a clear and concise account of the government and politics of democratic states, comprehensively updated with recent developments. It provides an ideal guide for undergraduate students who want to understand how and why democratic systems differ between countries and how they are changing in the modern world. It is written and structured in an easy to follow style, enabling students to gain a thorough understanding of the explanations behind complex ideas and theories. The 'Briefings' and 'Controversies' sections give life to the analyses with illustrations drawn from around the globe, whilst its 'Key Term' entries provide students with a route through the concepts of political science. The fourth edition has been fully revised to reflect recent changes in political attitudes and behaviour, voting, parties, party systems and ideologies. The final chapter addresses the future of democratic states facing with these changes and challenges, by examining democratic crisis, populism and post-democracy.
