978-1-137-50964-2 (ISBN)
This book provides an original, international and multidisciplinary perspective on the recent and extensive political and constitutional changes in Europe. The contributors cover changes from several key European countries, whether European Union members, applicant members, non-EU members or potentially former members, namely France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, the Western Balkans and Switzerland. The volume offers a rare understanding of contemporary European societies by examining how people's choices as citizens and voters have influenced and can influence those changes and thus make a difference via elections and referendums. It will appeal to students and scholars of European studies, comparative politics, and voting behaviour, as well as to the wider readership interested in current affairs and European issues.

Elizabeth Gibson-Morgan is Senior Lecturer in Law and Languages at the University of Tours, France, and Senior Research Fellow in Constitutional Law at King's College, London, UK. Her current research is on House of Lords reform, devolution, the UK Supreme Court and the codification of the British Constitution.
