Leadership and Politics
In twelve essays, influential scholars in political science explore the meaning of political leadership from the kaleidoscopic perspectives of the leaders, institutions, goals, procedures, problems, and traditions involved.

Dépolitiser l'Europe
Comment les partis politiques se saisissent-ils des questions européennes ? Voici étudiée l'adaptation et les stratégies des pays européens au développement de l'U.E. Les idées d'une "européanisation" croissante et d'une montée de l'euroscepticisme sont remises en cause. Comment les partis dominants développent-ils des stratégies pour éviter le conflit sur l'intégration européenne ? Maintenir des lignes politiques floues et nationaliser cet enjeu permet aux partis d'agir librement au niveau européen, tout en évitant une politisation de l'U.E; on interdit aux citoyens ordinaires d'accroitre leur connaissance de l'UE par la critique et le débat public.
