Western Europe Since 1945

This is the first edition since 1981 of this standard textbook for upper school and undergraduate students of European politics and modern European history. The book has been fully revised and updated to include the changes that have occurred in Europe since 1981. The text has been rewritten, redesigned and reset. It tackles the subject under three main themes; a review of political and economic developments during the period; the movement towards greater unity and co-operation in Europe; and Europe's global role.
