(What is Europe?) - The essays contained in this book go beyond conventional studies of the institutions and parties of Europe to address the broader issue of Europe's democratic future. The editors argue that 'institutions cannot function alone, like machines to produce consensus'. so while the book does offer an analysis of the democratic institutions of European countries, identifying common features and differences, the focus is on the fundamentals of European democratic culture. The authors contend that European social life and scientific learning have been indispensable components in the growth of the shared values that democracy pursues. They also analyse the dynamic tension brought to the life of democratic institutions by law, the desire for freedom, and critical public debate. With Europe engaged in perpetual self-examination and rapid change, this book provides insights into its democratic past and offers terms to address democratic future.
