`[This book] is a collection of 14 essays by 16 of today's leading scholars on political parties in western democracies. Sandwiched between a general introduction and a final chapter on European transnational parties are 12 country-specific analyses... Though one could infer from the book's title that the emphasis is on recent change to the exclusion of early party and party system development, the fact is that there is much to learn here about the context - including the historical context - of party development in each country more generally.
