This is a major textbook in European politics. Comparative in approach, it examines the problems of West European democracies in the era of the Single European Act and the Treaty of Maastricht. Allum discusses the politics of the four major Western European countries - Britain, France, Germany and Italy. He examines key institutions and developments in the light of contemporary social and political science paradigms, combining theory with empirical material. At the same time, he situates national politics within the broader context of European integration. Comparative in intent, the book is organized around themes and not countries: economy, civil society and the state. It includes chapters on the economy, social structure, political cleavages and communication, parties and groups as well as governmental institutions (executive, administration, subnational government and coercive apparatus). Each chapter is illustrated with a wealth of concrete examples. The book is intended for students of European and comparative politics, and for those concerned with the political aspects of European studies.

Why have continental European societies developed the idea of the abstract impersonal state as the fundamental institution of political rule? Why, on the other hand, has this idea played a relatively insignificant part in the history of English-speaking countries? It is to such questions that this major study is addressed. With clarity and conciseness, Kenneth Dyson examines the fascinating tapestry of thought about public authority that the state tradition represents, and identifies the major individual contributions to that tapestry. In addition to offering a clear conceptualisation of state, he deals with such key issues as the role of the intellectual, the social function of state theories, and the difficulties of accommodating state and democracy.

Studies of the political languages worked out in the late Middle Ages and Early Modern age have investigated up to now above all the role of the discursive practices in the construction of class and community spaces, the definition of the relation between the various institutions, and the shaping of the forms and contents of obedience to higher powers and authorities. Gathering together the papers presented in a symposium on The Languages of the Political Society, this book widens the spectrum of analysis to take in some topics that have received less attention until now in the study of the processes of state-building in late medieval and Early Modern Europe: the formulation of the value of the common good in relation to citizenship; the linguistic, musical and theatrical vectors for expressing political relations; the control and expression of public emotions and collective feelings; and the capacity of some financial and monetary systems to translate ideals and to produce legitimacy. The book thus intends to bring to the reader’s attention some paths of research that appear particularly promising and open to further interesting developments. Le ricerche sui linguaggi politici elaborati nel tardo medioevo e nella prima età moderna hanno indagato finora soprattutto il ruolo delle pratiche discorsive nella costruzione di spazi cetuali e comunitari, nella definizione del rapporto tra le diverse istituzioni, nella modellizzazione delle forme e dei contenuti dell’obbedienza a poteri e autorità superiori. Raccogliendo gli atti di un incontro di studio su The languages of the political society, il volume propone un allargamento dello spettro di indagine ad alcuni temi finora meno indagati nello studio dei processi di formazione degli stati nell’Europa tardo medievale e moderna: l’elaborazione del valore del bene comune in relazione alla cittadinanza; i vettori linguistici, musicali e teatrali per esprimere le relazioni politiche; il controllo e l’espressione delle emozioni pubbliche e dei sentimenti collettivi; la capacità di dei sistemi finanziari e monetari di tradurre idealità e di produrre legittimità. Il volume intende dunque proporre all’attenzione dei lettori alcuni percorsi di ricerca che appaiono particolarmente promettenti e suscettibili di ulteriori interessanti sviluppi.

This volume is the definite statement on the current state of political science as a discipline in Western Europe. Detailfour chapters portray European developments. To know about the historical development, the organization of teaching and research, professional communication, and the chances of students of political science in the job market is of essential importance to political scientists, university administrators, and policy makers national, European, and global. This is particularly true after the Bologna Declaration when universities across Europe were asked to adopt (1) a system of easily readable and comparable degrees, (2) a system based on two cycles, (3) the establishment of a common system of credits, (4) to increase student and teacher mobility, (5) to assure quality standards, and (6) to improve the European dimension in teaching. The book informs on these general issues and reports country specific developments.

The chapters in this volume reconsider fundamental premises about state and society in advanced capitalist countries. That social scientists in different disciplines of varying methodological and political persuasions should have found it useful to collaborate in such an undertaking is testimony to the profound social, economic and political shocks experienced by all advanced capitalist nations since to late 1960s. The energy crisis, the end of rapid economic growth, inflation, high unemployment and rising social conflict challenge conventional conceptions about the functioning of industrial societies and their future course. Social science theories have been unable to illuminate these realities.
