The European center-right at the end of the twentieth century

About this book

The European Center-Right at the End of the Twentieth Century examines the moderate to right parties in nine Western European countries. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert on the party politics in that given country and provides assessments of the structures, electoral bases, programs, and political strategies of the party in question. Overarching themes include the impact of the neoliberal agenda on the center-right, the European Union, and the extent to which these parties - or their left-wing rivals - can make a difference in the policy processes of their countries. The European Center-Right at the End of the Twentieth Century is a concise examination that is dedicated to analyzing an important but often ignored ingredient in the party politics of Western Europe.
