Reviews
`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
