Reviews for The Rise of Christian Democracy in Europe (The Wilder House Series in Politics, History and Culture)
The author demonstrates how and why Christian Democrat parties in Western Europe emerged with their own specific characteristics, and a characteristic relationship to the Church which originally inspired them... authoritative and convincing... Dr. Kalyvas has worked most thoughtfully, and his main conclusions are highly interesting and significant.
