A series of fascinating case studies examines the political culture and social constructs of different European countries, and offers exceptional insights into the challenges that project of integration poses for the various regions of Europe. This book has two main purposes, to examine contemporary politics within key European nation-states and to look at Europe's progress toward a goal that is ultimately incompatible with the nation-state system. The first purpose necessarily focuses on the habits of thought and behavior, as well as governmental institutions and processes, long associated with sovereign states; the second underscores the degree to which sovereignty and nationalism have been superseded without being formally relinquished. 4aComparative Government - Europe 4aPolitics - Europe 4aEurope - Politics and Government  a10798/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10797/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10798/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10797/MKRI-P/XI-2008
