About the Book

Between 1918 and 1945 there were many changes in European politics - old empires disappeared and new independent political systems emerged. Over the same period most countries faced similar problems - the world economic crisis and the rise of new ideologies and new political movements. But the political effects of these varied, and this study looks at the following key questions: why did democracy survive in some countries but not in others? How were some political institutions able to contain or manage the crises they faced but others collapsed or underwent radical transformation? This book outlines a new approach to this problem through the systematic analysis of eighteen polities within a common analytical framework. What is innovative is the weight given to economic, social and cultural factors in explaining the survival of democracy and the origins of fascism as well as the systematic incorporation of a range of political factors.

Review :
'This is the first instalment of a brilliant new approach to an old topic, the political, social, and economic crisis of interwar Europe, which has long suffered from piecemeal and traditional historical treatment by a collection of country specialists. This work is based on systematic application of comparative method and qualitative analysis. Its results are in many respects quite surprising and contradict the picture we have received from earlier studies.' - Peter Merkl, Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of California, Santa Barbara '...a very important contribution to the existing literature.' - Giovanni Capoccia, e-Extreme
