The Routledge handbook of Turkish politics
This handbook is a comprehensive and much-needed appraisal of Turkish politics that is likely to prove a valuable reference, irrespective of what comes next in the era of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and after. However, reading the various contributions is often a profoundly dispiriting experience. There is hardly a single feature of Turkish politics, public policy, inter-ethnic relations, civil–military ties, religious affairs, environmental p…
Sweden's dark soul: The unravelling of a utopia
On the eve of the general election in 2014 Prime Minister Fridrik Reinfeldt boldly declared: ‘Sweden, my friends, is a humanitarian superpower’: this, arguably, paved the way for an enduring national crisis. A decision taken earlier in his premiership may have triggered the ensuing difficulties. Immigration procedures were liberalized, making it hard for the authorities to bar entry to refugees who had arrived from conflict zones. In her new book…

Resistance from Scotland
Since the 23 June 2016 EU referendum, in which 62 percent of the Scottish electorate voted to remain in the EU, the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) has made it a priority to carve out a prominent role for Scotland in the U.K.’s negotiations to withdraw from the EU. Led by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP aims to either derail Brexit’s course or otherwise guarantee Scotland’s membership in the EU’s single market. If Brexit cannot be pr…

The last Stalinist: The life of Santiago Carrillo. By Paul Preston
Santiago Carrillo became a figure of importance in 1970s Europe, as he insisted that democratizing western communist parties offered models for the Soviet bloc, perhaps even ushering in new Prague Springs. In Spain, during the twilight of the Franco era, the then best-known Spanish leftist undoubtedly contributed to a relatively peaceful democratic transition ‘by helping to convince the right of the moderation of the left’ (p. 336). Until his dea…

Outcast Europe: The Balkans, 1789-1989
Examining two centuries of Balkan politics, from the emergence of nationalism to the retreat of Communist power in 1989, this is the first book to systematically argue that many of the region's problems are external in origin. A decade of instability in the Balkan states of southeast Europe has given the region one of the worst images in world politics. The Balkans has become synonymous with chaos and extremism.

The Modern SNP: From Protest to Power – Edited by Gerry Hassan
A Dash for Safety: Scottish Voters, Gordon Brown, and Labour
Because of his unpopularity, Labour's campaign managers did not encourage Gordon Brown to mingle with the electorate during the 2010 general election campaign. On 27 April, Glasgow's Buchanan Street was one of the few places where caution was thrown to the wind and he did a 'walk-about', getting a warm response from passers-by.' Glasgow's main pedestrianised thoroughfare appears to be sacred Labour turf. At die top, there is a statue of Donald De…
Labour and the Scottish National Party: The Triumph of Continuity in a Changing Scotland
Scotland's party system appears on the verge of major change with the Scottish National Party poised to supplant the Labour party as the dominant force. Under a charismatic leader, the SNP is using populist means to try and secure independence. However, real change appears elusive even if constitutional arrangements are altered further. The SNP distrusts democratic participation and is keen to rule through mobilised interests groups and the civil…
Scottish Democracy in a Time of Nationalism
The Scottish National Party (SNP) controls Scotland's devolved government just as support for complete separation from the rest of Great Britain is growing. The party is cautious about strengthening the democratic basis of Scottish governance and its nationalism is paradoxical. The SNP recoils from popular sovereignty being an enthusiastic backer of the European Union's plans for a post-national Europe. It also gives similar endorsement to radica…

Balkan But Different: Romania and Bulgaria's Contrasting Paths to Nato Membership 1994–2002
The only invitations to Balkan states issued at the 2002 NATO summit in Prague went to Romania and Bulgaria. Frequently seen as having identical problems owing to their shared communist heritage and Balkan location, they have made contrasting progress on the reform front since 1989. NATO entry looked unlikely for both states until purposeful engagement with terrorism became a criterion for NATO membership dwarfing all others. However, more flexib…
The Balkans After the Cold War: From Tyranny to Tragedy
At the end of the Cold War, the Balkan states of South East Europe were in crisis. They had emerged from two decades of hardline communism with their economies in disarray and authoritarian leaders poised to whip up nationalist feelings so as to cling on to power. The break up of Yugoslavia followed in 1991 along with prolonged instability in Romania, Bulgaria and Albania. The Balkans After The Cold War analyzes these turbulent events, which led …

Unconvinced by Europe of the Regions: The 1998 Regionalization Referendum in Portugal
The defeat of the proposal to set up a regional system of government in Portugal leaves it one of the most centralized states in Europe. Opponents exploited flaws in the proposals, whose advocates were unable to show clearly how the quality of government would benefit. Rising living standards have reduced the degree of alienation with centralism, but for a long time to come, the chief barriers to change are likely to be the predominance of patron…

Controlled Repression in Salazar's Portugal
The first of Portugal's two experiments with liberal democratic forms ended in 1926 when the civilian right, the landed oligarchy, and the military joined forces in a counter-revolutionary movement that seized power and laid the ground for Europe's lengthiest dictatorship of the right. For the next forty-eight years, organized opposition to Portuguese authoritarianism was miniscule and ultimately it was contradictions within the apparatus of stat…

Democratization in the Balkans: Challenges and prospects
The post‐communist states of the Balkans face daunting challenges as they experiment with pluralism. The absence of a strong democratic tradition, national rivalries within and between states, weak civil society, and the impact of communism on political culture, complicate the emergence of open politics. There is a lack of agreement about the management of political competition and an absence of political institutions able to integrate conflictin…

Rome at Bay: The Challenge of the Northern League to the Italian State
THE MOST SURPRISING BENEFICIARY OF A SERIES OF upsets in European elections which have shaken established political forces is probably the Lega Nord (Northern League) which wants to make the north of Italy effectively self-governing within a radically decentralized Italian state. In the Italian general election of 5 – 6 April 1992, its national vote rose from 0.5 to 8.7 per cent making it Italy's fourth largest party, while in the north it lies s…

The swift rise of the Vatra Româneasca movement has taken place in the context of a shattered Romanian economy and attendant political turbulence that has left a badly desocialized citizenry ripe for populist mobilization. Vatra has adapted important elements of Ceauşescu's nationalist ideology for use in the post-communist age. Its success in articulating a campaign against policies of cultural pluralism and minority rights has extended the infl…
Portugal's bid for democracy: The role of the socialist party
Political institutions in Portugal have never been strong enough to withstand praetorian incursions. When a young officers revolt toppled a Right‐wing civilian regime in 1974, military elements attempted to impose a new brand of authoritarian politics on the country. The Socialist Party was instrumental in foiling this attack on pluralist values and in affirming civilian primacy. However, the prospects for Portugal's infant democracy are extremel…

A feeble embrace: Romania's engagement with democracy, 1989–94
Since the overthrow of the Ceauşescu regime in December 1989, Romania has developed a hybrid political system, in which some democratic elements exist alongside continuing authoritarian features and tendencies. However, the dominant trend is for democratic forces to be hampered by the forces of President Ion Iliescu and the group that led the National Salvation Front in 1989. Former politicians from the communist era have come to the fore, and na…

Scotland and the Anglo‐Irish agreement: The reaction of the orange order
In Scotland as in Northern Ireland the Orange Order has traditionally played an important, though somewhat different, role in social and political life.

This farrago of anomalies’: The European response to the war in Bosnia‐Hercegovina, 1992–95
The evolution of the Bosnia conflict of 1992–95 was influenced in important ways by west European responses, despite the official line being one of ‘non‐intervention’. European misjudgements during the war helped hand the initiative to radical nationalists committed to ethnic separation by military means. In the early months of the conflict, the British government (and to a lesser extent France) influenced the EC decision to adopt a low‐key respo…
