Beyond the Nation State Parties in the Era of

The vast literature on globalization integration and supranational bodies such as the EU dwells mainly on the problems which such processes pose for the nation-state. States are seen as needing to provide responses to these new challenges, but parties within those states are equally challenged. David Hanley examines how parties address those challenges and the manner in which parties act at supranational level.

DAVID HANLEY was educated at Oxford and Warwick universities and has taught in Ireland, France and the UK. He has published widely on French and European topics, particularly party politics, socialism and Christian democracy. He is currently Professor of European Studies at Cardiff University, UK.
