Mobilising Politics and Society?: The EU Convention's Impact on Southern Europe

This book offers a timely analysis of the European Union Convention's impact on the domestic political systems, and civil society in Southern Europe. It provides country chapters on Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Malta, Cyprus and Turkey. All chapters follow a common scientific template, in order to offer material for genuine cross-country comparison. In addition the volume contains horizontal chapters on three important issues: the mobilization of intellectuals, sub-national politics; and the youth. The editors compare results of the country chapters in their conclusions. The book contains an Appendix section with documentation on the EU Convention and South European participants.
