Politics at the turn of the century

With the end of the Cold War, the death of communism, and the decline of socialism, what are the primary issues, ideologies and parties that now structure politics?

Melzer, Zinman and Weinberger have compiled essays which examine the politics of the past to help plot the future.

The first half of the volume addresses "Identity Politics" and "Big Government" and their respective places in the shaping of the United States political environment since the end of the Cold War.

The second half of the volume focuses on the political climate in Western Europe, Russia, India and China.
