'In a period of high party system volatility, this timely book focuses on a group of parties that includes some of Europe's oldest electoral competitors. Its chapters present useful profiles and comparisons of meaning and endurance of party family labels.' - Susan E. Scarrow, University of Houston 'With detailed case studies of the history, ideology, organization, electoral performance, and governmental participation of liberal parties in 20 European countries, plus at the EU level, this volume provides a most useful resource for students of party politics. In addition, the concluding comparative chapters provide the necessary analysis to consider whether there truly is a liberal party 'family' and the features that unite and distinguish these parties from their competitors.' - William Cross, Carleton University
