Opportunities and Challenges for New and Peripheral Political Science Communities : A Consolidated Discipline? (1st ed. 2022. 2021. xiv, 281 S. XIV, 281 p. 4 illus., 1 illus. in colo)

This open access book offers an updated examination of the institutionalisation of political science in sixteen latecomer or peripheral countries in Europe. Its main theme is how political science as a science of democracy is influenced and how it responds to the challenges of the new millennium. The chapters, built upon a common theoretical framework of institutionalisation, are evidence-based and comparative. Overall, the book diagnoses diversity among the country cases due to their take-off points and varied political and economic trajectories.
