It examines the significance of each episode in the development of national or federal democracy and concludes with a positive assessment of the prospects of liberal democracy. This is an important book for political scientists, historians and others concerned with the development of democracy in Europe and beyond.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eCOLIN BONWICK Professor of American History, Keele University\r\nRICHARD CORBETT Member of the European Parliament for Merseyside West; former Deputy Secretary-General of Socialist Group of MEPs\r\nANTHONY GLEES Reader in Government, Brunel University\r\nJONATHAN I.
