Developments In West European Politics

“This new replacement volume for the highly successful Developments in West European Politics focuses centrally on four key questions about the West European state: What is the impact of the global and European context on the state’s functioning and ability to deliver welfare and security? Does the state still command the loyalty of its citizens? Can and do state institutions deliver effective governance? Can the state rise to such challenges as the internationalization of crime, new patterns of migration and environmental sustainability?” Written by a team of leading authorities, Developments in West European Politics 2 provides a broad-ranging and integrated coverage of political change in Western Europe which will be essential reading for students and specialists alike.
