Political Communication and European Parliamentary Elections in Times of Crisis [electronic resource] : Perspectives from Central and South-Eastern Europe /
Boicu, Ruxandra.editor.
Branea, Silvia.editor.
Stefanel, Adriana.editor.
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. .
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
