Book description: Ithaca, NY, U.S.A: Cornell University Press, 1996. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. This book examines the origins of Christian Democratic parties within the political context of Western Europe; examining five countries where a successful party emerged (Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Germany, and Italy) and one where it did not (France), the author addresses the perplexing questions raised by the Christian Democratic phenomenon: how can the success of these parties in secular, democratic Western Europe be reconciled with their religious roots? why have these parties discarded their initial principles and objectives to become secular forces governing secular societies? (green pictorial cover, very slight edgewear, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
