Developments in European Politics 3 cover

Written by a team of experts from a variety of perspectives, this book covers the latest empirical insights in European politics, with an overview of recent developments in the scholarly literature.

Developments in European Politics considers what Europe is, where it came from, and what European citizens can make of it. It brings together specially commissioned chapters by leading authorities to give an up-to-date and systematic analysis of European political developments – in institutions, processes and policy – at national, regional and international levels. It provides wide-ranging and clear analysis of the factors influencing European politics, from populism and extremism in national politics to the broader forces of globalization, immigration, climate change and international terrorism.

Bringing together a brand new contributor team, this new edition offers:
- More coverage of Europe's role in the world
- Increased focus on the attitudes of European citizens as the motor of European politics
- End of chapter reading suggestions and key questions, enabling readers to engage with the important issues at stake
- An overarching framework that hones in on four contemporary themes: the rise of authoritarian politics, the mismanagement of globalization, the perception of collective insecurity, and the disintegration of Europe.

This is an ideal text for students undertaking courses on European Politics, as well as anyone interested in understanding the political challenges facing Europe today.

The third, and entirely fresh, edition of Developments in European Politics breaks Europe’s fast-paced politics down into digestible themes. Each theme is fundamental, informed by state-of-the-art research, and presented in crisp language. This book will be an indispensable resource for undergraduates, graduates, and teachers of European politics. * Liesbet Hooghe, Professor of Political Science, European University Institute, Italy, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA *
EU scholars and teachers will find no better book to turn to in order to explore the vastly changed landscape of European politics in the last decade. The brilliance of this first ever all-female cast brought together by Anghel and Jones lies in their capacity collectively to combine rigorous and theoretically informed analysis, critical engagement with existing scholarship, a forward looking gaze, and perhaps most importantly a focus on those who for too long have remained the unsung main character in our European saga - the citizens. * Kalypso Nicolaïdis, Professor of International Relations, University of Oxford, UK *
A superb addition to the Developments in European Politics canon. With talented authors and insightful contributions, this volume updates and builds on longstanding debates in the field as well as extending the discussion into gendered dimensions and the role of informal institutions. A must read for scholars of the EU. * Laura Cram, Professor of European Politics, University of Edinburgh, UK *
This is a much-needed resource for any student of politics, sociology or international relations interested in the contemporary politics of Europe. The book is exceptional in its broad coverage and topicality, written in an accessible way that will be valued by lecturers and students alike. * Vlastimil Havlik, Associate Professor, Masaryk University, Czech Republic *
Exploring the most significant challenges Europe is facing today, this (almost) female only volume takes the reader on a wild ride across time and European space. The result is a thought-provoking state of the art account of developments in European politics up to the present. * Dorothee Bohle, Professor of Comparative Political Science, University of Vienna, Austria *
This book provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the key discussions and debates in contemporary European politics, and will be of significant use for anyone seeking to explore the political dynamics shaping Europe today. * Graham Timmins, Reader in International Politics, University of Birmingham, UK *
A vital introduction to the major issues and cleavages of twenty-first century European politics. * Luke Cooper, Senior Research Fellow, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK *
