Christian Democratic Parties In Europe Since The End Of The Cold War

"The period since the end of the Cold War has been characterized by an acceleration in the European integration process, a changing pattern of political ideologies and the emergence of new political parties and issues. This book assesses the impact of these phenomena on Christian Democratic parties in the member states of the European Union and highlights some of the particularities and universalities of European Christian Democracy from a comparative and transnational perspective. Political scientists and historians from various universities examine the way in which Christian Democratic parties have responded to these challenges (for instance by a rapprochement with non-Christian Democrats) and explain how those responses have resulted in failure in some cases and success in others."Van Hecke, Steven is the author of 'Christian Democratic Parties In Europe Since The End Of The Cold War', published 2004 under ISBN 9789058673770 and ISBN 9058673774.
