Beschreibung
This book tackles the 2014 European Parliamentary election as an event, phenomenon and process from an interdisciplinary but coherent perspective. This edited volume includes research by prestigious academics from the former communist countries in question, all of which have only recently become EU members. The contributors consider whether there is a crisis of Euroscepticism, or, for that matter, extremism of any kind in each country discussed. In doing so, the volume seeks to analyse the future of the European Union itself. It will appeal to scholars and graduate students interested in elections and voting behaviour, comparative European politics, and political communication.
Uniquely approaches European parliamentary elections exclusively within the geopolitical space of the former communist countries that have recently become EU members Provides a comparative understanding of major topics related to elections, voting behaviour, media coverage and political communication Features contributions from respected scholars who cover 8 different countries
