Описание: Democracy and Dictatorship in Europe examines the development of various political regimes in Europe from the ancien regime up through the present day. It analyzes why democracy flourishes at some times and in some places but not others and draws lessons from European history that can help us better understand the political situation the world finds itself in today.

Exercises interspersed throughout each case study include numerous open-ended and multiple-choice questions to facilitate learning and critical thinking.
