Government and Politics in Western Europe offers a clear and accessible comparative introduction to the political institutions of Western Europe's four largest countries: Britain, France, Italy, and Germany. The existing chapters, thoroughly revised to cover developments at national level, are now complemented by two completely new chapters on the European Union.
The book also includes tables and diagrams which provide the student with invaluable reference material to key facts and processes. Clearly written and comprehensive, this text will be essential reading for all students of comparative politics, European Studies, and West European politics.
