Sinopsis

This volume re-publishes classical studies by Hans Daalder on three major themes: the different paths towards state formation in Europe, their effect on parties and party systems and their alleged crises, and the rise and merits of the consociational democracy model. The book throws a unique light on the development of comparative studies after World War II as seen through the eyes of an active participant. In a fascinating preface Peter Mair contrasts two scholarly generations in the field of comparative and cross-national studies.
