It offers new insights on the main political parties and the political system, on the monarchy, corruption, terrorism, regional and conservative nationalism, and on Spain's policies in the Mediterranean and the EU. It challenges many existing assumptions about politics in Spain, reaching beyond systems and practices to look at identities, political cultures and mentalities. It brings to bear on the analysis the latest empirical data and theoretical perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sebastian Balfour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415356784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415356787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.34w x 0.60d","brand":"Sebastian Balfour","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064902496511,"sku":"9780415356787","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af5aa2ef-6354-4521-ac37-7acb1efb4bcf.jpg?v=1782444403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-contemporary-spain-sebastian-balfour-9780415356787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
