  Unique in offering an analysis of four major European democratic systems (the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and West Germany), this first volume in the Comparative European Politics series 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. This English edition has been substantially revised by the author to include a fuller discussion of the French system. Published in association with the European Consortium for Political Research, the Comparative European Politics series is geared for students and teachers of political science. Each volume provides an up-to-date survey of the current state of knowledge and research on an issue of major significance in European government and politics.
