OverviewOrganized thematically rather than country-by-country, European Democracies is an introduction to the politics and governments of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. Analyzing European countries from the level of the European Union and from the level of regions, this text surveys issues ranging from parties and policy to democratization and globalization. Throughout, Markus Crepaz and Jurg Steiner treat Europe as a single but diverse entity and ask students to compare what they learn about European politics with the politics of their own country. Learning Goals Understand the politics and governments in Europe both regionally and thematically. Evaluate Europe as a single entity with diverse politics.
